It's like the sudden change of a language style and its verbosity didn't happen recently.

To random words you pick and provide a sufficient amount of text to vary with random number without losing its meaning you need a text with high entropy.

It's watermarking.

This style provides a high entropy basis distribution, so they can from a bigger pool to pick from and phrases to watermark the sentence.

You have much bigger variation of this idiotic phrases and words, which states a simple fact in that sophisticated and twisted manner.

Give me an example how would you watermark a single short sentence like "I like turtles"?

> As far as I know, anthropic aren't intrinsically motivated by watermarking (if anything it hurts sales, and seems indifferent to safety(?)) they're simply doing it to fulfill the EU obligations.

They are. They want to reduce the amount of LLM generated text they feed into their next model training.

Also, how would you watermark a sentence with just 3 words for an example? This exactly why it became so verbose.

I know Adel from a professional community, but I've followed his work for a while and it's the real thing. I would defenitely recommend him if you are looking into programmer who is deep into compilers and RUST. On top of that he is also agile, curious guy, who had a chance to play with various technologies.

Hi!

I'm curious to hear about your work geometric optics with PyTorch. May I ask you to share some examples of something you are working on right now?

I think the best compromise would be to get the best of two words. By default perform bound checks, but have a compiler flag which skips it. Might broke many programs written with default behaviour in mind, but allow perform additional optimizations.

Hi ziotom! I wonder about you work in 3D Cifford Algebras. May you share some links to the research you do? I also have interest in this topic I research on my own.

Just in case if you don't want to disclose your name my email is northzen@gmail.com

To machine. It just easier to be polite by default than split our language into two forms "I speak to human" and "I speak to machine". Because the chat interface is really close to what we see when we speak to human. Well, exactly the same.

> It's about the fact that AI can be used to extract value from other artists' work without consent, and then out-compete them on volume by flooding the marketplace.

What do you think about The Prodigy?

Use pixi (whici is build with uv) and use its "global". It should solve what you wanted to solve: https://pixi.sh/dev/global_tools/introduction/

One day you will discover Internet and how advantageous it is for scammers and malware authors.

Wtf is this argument even about? Knife is advantageous for robbers. Phone calls are advantageous for scammers.

Your existence is advantageous for many malicious agents.

So what?

I heard that Internet on its own is a home of underage media, drug deals and Russian hackers. I guess we need to rant about it also, right?

I used to observe the increased sensetivity to noise during my epresssion periods. Observe the same problems also with bright light. What may actually help here is psychologist / psychiatrist and therapy or medication. I'm not a doctor and maybe your problem not related to yours, but I just wanted to share the direction which helped me to decrease sound sensetivity.

But ones you are in company which does it right you start appreciate all good things it brings.

I haven't seen working communism though and never heard about it.

Also instagram allow you to see your feed in chronological order. And if you reopen it you still can see all posts (except ad) in the same order and on the same place they were.
