He now pays with cash.

Their logic was that only symptomatic animals can spread rabies, and once symptomatic they tend to die within a week and display obvious symptoms even earlier.

I guess the risk of delaying 5 days is extremely low, or perhaps nonexistent. At least with immediately recognized contact?

What’s uniquely American about killing decision makers? Especially morally questionable individuals? Yeah, it’s a garbage way for society to operate but this is an expression of the human condition.

If anything this is a level of action I wouldn’t expect from America.

Maybe, but what lays outside their door will always haunt them. There’s no replacement that won’t have this in the back of their mind, and I suspect this is sort of the point.

From the killer’s perspective, this was probably the best case outcome.

The worst case? The decision makers of these companies fear every day. And you know what? Everyone thinks twice when they recognize danger.

If it didn’t display any symptoms or die, immunization would be held off. Apparently this depends on the animal you were exposed to and rabies incidence rates in the vector in the geographic area.

In my case, the animal died 2 days later and caused quite a headache.

The most effective movements are usually a combination of protest and civil disobedience. Considering livelihoods are under threat I wouldn’t condone nor blame anyone for even going one step further.

To compare the other way, Azure write blocks target replication blob containers. I consider that a primitive and yet they just outright say you can’t do it. When I engaged our TPM on this we were just told our expectations were wrong and we were thinking about the problem wrong.

Always worth mentioning that this culturally altered America in a way that we’ll probably never unwind.

My comment is predicated on the belief that yes, at this moment it is more rational to assume we have a special spark. Moreso, it’s irrational that individuals believe that in these models there’s a uniqueness beyond a few emergent properties. It’s a critique on the individuals, not the systems. I worry many of us are a few Altman statements short of having a Blake Lemoine break.

To look at our statistical models and say they exhibit “actual intelligence” concerns me that individuals are losing groundness with what we have in front of us.

I’ve heard coworkers argue that enjoyment from video games is equally valuable to enjoying time with your family or enjoying a walk. I’m a lifelong gamer and it’s still heartbreaking to hear people say the grass outside is no more valuable to them than what’s going on in a digital world.

What is going on with us?

There’s plenty of visually impressive AI art out there right now. No one is celebrating it.

Often the target company is exuberant they got themselves a FAANG VP and bend over backwards to “let them work their magic”.

Destination company is usually totally unaware of the shitstorm they caused on their last ship, or don’t question why they were running a perpetually unprofitable business unit.

There are executive recruiting consultancies that very large firms use to vet potential executives. It’s more of an enhanced background check around lifestyle (liability) and professional claims.

As we increase parameter sizes and increment on the architecture, they’re just going to get better as statistical models. If we decide to assign terms reserved for human beings, that’s more a reflection on the individual. Also they certainly can decide to do things, but so can my switch statements.

I’m going to admit that I get a little unnerved when people say these statistical models have “actual intelligence”. The counter is always along the lines of “if we can’t tell the difference, what is the difference?”

However i won’t because despite it not being in my training data, i recognize that blindly running updates could fuck my day up. This process isn’t a statistical model expressed through language, this is me making judgement calls based on what I know and more importantly, don’t know.

Because they’re useful to the bottom line and are anti-social enough to destroy anyone who threatens it.

People and moreover mentality like this should not exist in our society, yet we incentivize for it.

Also the corporate productivity difference is only marginally better, but I get to spend significant time surrounded by my wife and children.

I will not be in my deathbed wishing I spent less time with my loved ones. It’s interesting how RTO mandates reveal the priorities of those around us.

Now for your tone, I’m not sure. Be polite.
