Not likely, English is used in the first place because of the British Empire, not the US.

- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 2 days ago:
The point is that they shipped an update that was mostly pointless, or even completely pointless on PC, that basically blocked the release of a huge scale very anticipated mod days before the release date.
The argument is that they like profiting off their mod creators, but they try to squeeze the community for more money every time they can, like with the paid mods nonsense, and also don’t give a shit about them.

Or just decent regulation. You’re offering an AI product? You can’t attest that it’s been trained in a legitimate way?
Into the shadow realm with you.

Depends on your viewpoint.
Emigrate from Europe and immigrate to Europe is also a valid way to look at it.

Do they speak a different language, have their own celebrations or social groups?
- Comment on Rick and Morty copypasta 2 weeks ago:
This is beautiful, I don’t know the original Rick and Morty one, but the way it branches from the unhinged rant to the straight up Trumpian word salad is a lovely composition.

- Comment on Russia dropped over 10,000 guided bombs on Ukraine in just three months 3 weeks ago:
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn’t. By subtracting where it is from where it isn’t, or where it isn’t from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn’t, and arriving at a position where it wasn’t, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn’t, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn’t. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn’t, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn’t. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn’t, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn’t, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn’t be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

- Comment on In a paper, media mogul Tim O'Reilly and economist Ilan Strauss say OpenAI likely trained GPT-4o on paywalled O'Reilly Media books without a licensing agreement. 3 weeks ago:
I mean it can be controlled for that by checking different texts, such as something that was definitely not in the training set.

Honestly, emergency braking with LIDAR is mature and cheap enough at this point that is should be mandated for all new cars.
- Comment on Trump says 'very angry' with Putin over Ukraine: NBC 3 weeks ago:
Trump basically forcing half the world off of Russian oil, skyrocketing other oil prices and thus basically solving climate change out of spite would be so funny.

- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 4 weeks ago:
If I had to find something to critique, it is that bad-faith agenda-pushing is still rampant here, from “both sides” - rather all conceivable sides.
Not like I have a solution for it. Maybe forums shouldn’t be this big, and we shouldn’t primarily be talking to strangers.

- Comment on Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
It did actually. I don’t pay for sending a message or calling my neighbour if I go to the next country or Bulgaria. The EU made it law that roaming is free.
What still costs money is if you send a message in the NL to the NL if you have a Belgian number for example, which makes it so that you still have to get a new number each time you move countries. Or rather the bigger pain is calling my mom who lives in a different member state, that I can’t really do without incurring insane charges.
- Comment on Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
That is if you stay within one country. I still get some insane charges if I text someone 60 kilometers away because it’s international.
- Comment on Signal downloads spike in the US and Yemen amid government scandal | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
IIRC it’s because US cell carriers don’t charge as much as others for sending and receiving SMS

You guys know that you share half your genome with your kids and parents, so it’s not even just the users’ data, but also people who might not even know about this.

- Comment on Dad demands OpenAI delete ChatGPT’s false claim that he murdered his kids 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, but the problem is that the “certain things” can actually encompass “any data about any person”. That’s a hard regex to write.
- Comment on Dad demands OpenAI delete ChatGPT’s false claim that he murdered his kids 4 weeks ago:
From the GDPR’s standpoint, I wonder if it’s still personal information if it is made up bullshit. The thing is, this could have weird outcomes. Like for example, by the letter of the law, OpenAI might be liable for giving the same answer to the same query again.

- Comment on Surprise! People don't want AI deciding who gets a kidney transplant and who dies or endures years of misery 1 month ago:
It is better at simple pattern recognition, but much worse at complex diagnoses.
It is useful as a help to doctors but won’t replace them.
As an example, it can give you a good prediction on who likely has lung cancer out of thousands of CT images. It will completely fuck up prognoses and treatment recommendations though.
