A few years back I was going over to the US to see my then wife and stay with her and my mother in law over Christmas. I quite liked my mother in law. I mentioned this in a group meeting of my team and my boss, who made a fairly standard mother-in-law joke. My response was to poker-face it and ask him to explain the joke. There was quite a lot of silence.

Sadly, the bing image creator refused the prompt "Kier Starmer dressed in British army uniform purposefully striding towards his shorter wife, whilst pointing at something and drinking a pint". It even refused politician. I had to use 'white male' so would need to bother to photoshop Starmer's head on the results. Which is too much effort.

Here's the best one. The shorter wife seems to be a cyborg though.

My beautiful old Labrador Lexi might be dying she’s off to the vets this afternoon to find out what’s up with her. She’s still able to go on little walks but hasn’t been eating the last few days apparently, except rice pudding and some of her favourites. I hope I’m just being daft and she’s just sick as does happen from time to time but I am, nonetheless, sat crying in my car in the Sainsbury’s car park. Hold your beloved pets close.

While modern ones are better at not polluting the room, they still significantly increase air pollution outside your house and affect local air quality - and the air inside your house is just a product of the air outside your house at the end of the day.

Wood fires are cozy and warm and lovely. They also are bad for local air pollution which has a noticeable effect on respiratory health, especially of small children and the elderly. It just didn't use to matter when half the population was smoking themselves and others around them to death anyways, but now it's more prominent.

I don't know where you're at now, but I know several people who take meds for anxiety and they've all said it's been a life changer. Yes, there are side effects. They vary from person to person and you can stop if it doesn't feel worth it (though usually not cold turkey! Consult your doctor!), but for symptoms as severe as you're describing I would definitely look into it. Worst case, you write it off. Best case, you have some mild nausea after meals every now and then and stop having 3 day panic attacks.

I mean cortisol on its own has some pretty horrifying effects on the brain. I think it was you that posted about how bad dental health is linked to minor dementia symptoms. And neuroplasticity decreases with age, so I've always had a pet theory about how that's what makes it so much harder* for older people to learn new things without their brain overloading with cortisol and blocking the process of forming new memories.

They basically just sprayed the coastline with Tomahawk missiles, which is (a) unlikely to be effective against targets as mobile as missile launchers and drones, and (b) unlikely to indicate a serious, long-term military investment by America, since they're using a weapon with highly limited ammunition that doesn't require them to risk human pilots. This was all a bit performative.

So the government has been advertising its guidance on XL Bullies in the leadup to the ban, and surprise surprise, it's completely vague and includes 3 completely unhelpful images at the bottom.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/official-definition-of-an-xl-bully-dog/official-definition-of-an-xl-bully-dog

Those are staffies! They look exactly like staffies, particularly the second one, and the 3rd one is the only one that looks even slightly like an XL bully.

The guidance and the advice all concerns what to do if you know you have a bully, but there is zero guidance for what to do if your dog is not a bully, but is tall enough to hit the height qualification - which is basically the only objective measurement in the new standard.

Oh, and it costs 90 quid to apply for a certificate of exemption, but you can only get one if your dog is an XL breed. If your dog might fit that criteria, it doesn't look like there's any way to preemptively exempt it.

In response to the criteria and the cost of the certificates, there's been a huge upsurge in people abandoning staffies and bulky breeds.

Tw for extreme animal cruelty: Apparently XL breeders have been burning the dogs in protest, and a bully was found with its legs tied together having been mutilated to death, but the only source I can find for that is the scum, so take with a pinch of salt.

I know I've said about this before when the criteria was first announced, but especially with the pictures it's loving useless and is actively endangering a whole bunch of other dogs covered by its vagueness.

I was thinking of that exact article, lol. She also wondered how people could just drive past without performatively honking or dipping their lights in respect, then made up a story about how she got to the toll bridge and someone gave her 50p and said "don't worry, we're not all monsters" completely unprompted.

I'll have to dig it up, it was deliriously stupid.

quote:

I don’t have 50p and try tossing 30p and a White Company button into the bucket. It doesn’t work.

There is now an angry queue behind me. Isn’t it interesting that you can snatch a young woman’s life away from her in the most violent, painful, frightening way possible, take away her future children, her future Christmases, take away everything she loves, and yet there are elaborate systems in place to ensure you do not cross a bridge for only 30 pence?

Finally, a man in a taxi jumps out, and runs to me brandishing a 50p piece.

‘Not all men are monsters,’ he says, grinning. Maybe not. But one monster is all it takes.

The LLM / network isn't really compiled but trained. You could certainly have the training program (which might be compiled but e.g. Python often isn't compiled) log it's input (picture name, size, checksum, description, url, ?). But since you don't necessarily have the pictures themselves afterwards, this does not prove everything.
And obviously even small changes in the picture change most of the logged values.
The description of the picture might be wrong, but then via other things might get linked to the real thing.

also this leaves out that you can't remove a picture afterwards if you should find out that it was copyrighted.


E: this stuff is not my specialty, I learned somethings like 20 years ago and I have friends who use it (on own data).

mossyfisk posted:

Just make them provide the source images and literally have someone from a regulatory body watch to confirm it's what they feed into the big GPU racks or whatever. Keep a copy archived for when you want to check rights etc. I don't think there's actually a technical barrier?

mossyfisk posted:

It can be done, the models are built using exactly such archives of image data - it's certainly within the capability of the state. These companies simply want to pretend it's impossible and skimp on accountability. It would be more expensive to comply with these hypothetical regulatory processes, but so what? They couldn't sell a product that doesn't pass, so they'd have to either comply or shut down.

You can't technically prove that someone didn't independently invent something but if you come out with a copy of someone else's work you're still gonna get done for copyright infringement.

I don't see why that would be any different because you invented a complicated machine to generate the thing. If it shits out something that is plagiaristically close to someone else's work then rinse the bastards for it.
