I can't figure out if you're joking or not.


That specific link is basically just "having an account" if anonymity is turned off.

If you include the anonymous version are you calling a basic cookie an "advertiser's dream"? Then that's not something new they would get if the cookie tracked age verification. And you can reset cookies every visit (or more often). The "that person" of a site-specific session cookie is not a big deal for privacy.


"user identifiers".

I'll say it again but simpler:

The "user identifiers" are just having an account. That's when it's not set to be anonymous in the first place.

When it is set to be anonymous, it doesn't do this.


For comparison allow me to add chatGPT 5.5:

"Choose U-235 if the goal is safe, boring, practical electricity generation. Choose Pu-241 only if the goal is specifically to consume/recycle plutonium in a reactor designed and licensed for that fuel.

In brutal shorthand: Pu-241 is a better “fissile isotope” in some nuclear-physics ways, but U-235 is a much better reactor fuel in the real world."

If only I knew anything about nuclear reactors. But it sounds to me that the answer is also correct.


Am i the only one feeling my soul being emptied every time i read another "brutal shorthand" or "honest take"?


It's genuinely depressing.


Yeah, but the default is extreme yap mode. I prefer "in a sentence" or "rows, not paragraphs." "Brutal" sounds like bait from an influencer trying to sell me a $400 course about how 4AM workouts will make me a millionaire.


I don't even know how we got here. This isn't that deeply represented in the training data. Is this what RLHF hath wrought? A new dialect of English based on corporatespeak and influencers, two heavy-hitting bullshitters?


Remember how, for SEO purposes, every food blog has to bs a multi-page story that everyone scrolls past to get to the 10 line recipe?

That's training data too; that's how we got here.


It’s not only for that. The story provide them the copyright protection since recipes are not copyrighted


But how will I signal my status to other people then?

On a serious note, I run my models on desktop pc, simple api and i can use them wherever whenever.


You are interpreting it the wrong way around. It's not a disaster for general population. It's a disaster for the artist and others involved.

Money/time/effort is spent on the wrong thing. It's a disaster for them. Not for you.


Nah. It's about a "disaster" that could have been averted up until the point that "someone played it", well past anything to do with the artists.


How many solutions can you think of?


That will impact dozens of people.


Read the posted article before commenting.

It's literally written to refute your point.


You have some rather uncommon prejudice towards people who go to bars. Unless of course your culture is significantly different from mine.

But where I am from: - bars are 'a third place' where people hang regularly without getting wasted - bars serve dozens of different non-alcoholic drinks - most people in the bar are not "looking for a one night stand" but for some socializing, fun, and a chance to meet interesting people

But as I said, maybe your part of the world has bars that attract different clientele.


You don't need to get drunk regularly to be a near alcoholic.

There are a lot of "regulars" in most who need to "get a life". I won't object to those who are visiting once in a while, but there are far more bars everywhere I've been than could exist if people "had a life", my general observation is 5-10% of the population is a regular.


I believe the odd part is "young female" phrasing. And I agree, it is odd.


I agree that it is odd, but it is unfortunately a natural consequence of the dilution of the term woman to include people in their 50s that up until yesterday were men.

We need a new term, kind of like how Thailand is handling the situation for so long. It is clear that there cannot be just two genders.


And naturally an article about a misplaced house pet summons commentary on transgender rights.


> US lost more planes to friendly fire and accidents than the enemy

Truly a force to be reckoned with.
