except if get() can also accept a raw string, which is likely

From my European pont of view, I think the definitions of left and right have shifted a lot.

Sure, in Europe left and right may be more closely matched in academia, but most "right"-leaning Europeans would not be anywhere near the "right" in US-terms, so your argument is comparing very different things

Sure, if they also overpaid for their phone, they should enjoy the privilege of airdropping to gp. Just not from cheap devices please!

Eh, I don't see "better than Elon's burning pile of garbage" as the greatest endorsement.

Pretty different to Factorio, but Human Resource Machine is somewhat relevant and very enjoyable

But wouldn't the model then also learn to make reasoning mistakes in the first place, where in some cases those mistakes could have been avoided by not training the model on incorrect reasoning?

Of course if all mistakes are corrected before the final output tokens this is fine, but I could see this method introducing new errors altogether.

I have seen so many claims like this one, yet never any evidence of this sort of thing actually happening. I tend to believe this is a combination of confirmation bias and "side-channel" information like googling related things, or pattern recognition on the ad server's ML side (e.g. if you visit the amazon toilet paper section once a month, and after almost a month you start talking about toilet paper, getting served toilet paper ads might seem suspicious, but it really isn't).

Is there any actual information about this somewhere? With the insane breach of privacy policies and laws this would be, I would think many researchers would have looked into this by now.

Those articles pop up every now and then, and it usually turns out to be the cargo trunk of the Dragon spacecraft, which gets jettisoned before the craft performs its reentry maneuver. The trunk comes down usually a few months later. It survives reentry due to its low density carbon construction.

Starlink satellites, of which there are thousands in orbit, are designed to burn up on reentry.

To be fair, your comment was in no way interesting. You announced that you closed the tab without reading the article, providing no value to anyone. I don't see why you're surprised about a lack of votes on your comment.

I'm curious as to why you're looking forward to those events. Would you mind elaborating?

"Just before entering a known period of communication outage, the team developed and executed an improvised maneuver to reorient the solar panels toward the Sun. Shortly after this maneuver, the spaceraft entered an expected period of communication loss."

Imagine the pressure when clicking" send" on that maneuver patch
