An important characteristic of a model is "stability." Stability means that small changes in input produce small changes in output.

Stability is important for predictability. For instance, suppose you want to make a customer support portal. You add a bot hoping that it will guide the user to the desired workflow. You test the bot by asking it a bunch of variations of questions, probably with some RLHF. But then when it goes to production, people will start asking it variations of questions that you didn't test (guaranteed). What you want ideally, is that it will map the variants to the best workflow that matches what the customer wants. Second best would be to say "I don't know." But what we have are bots who will just generate some crazy off-the-wall crap, and no way to prevent it.

I saw this as the supposed plan:

per WSJ: It may propose delaying Ukraine's NATO membership for 20 years, establishing a 1,200 km demilitarized zone along the current front line, and leaving 20% of occupied Ukrainian territory under Russian control—while the U.S. would continue arms support under these conditions.

The problem is, this isn't an acceptable plan according to Russia. Russia has insisted that:

1. Ukraine retreats from all of the oblasts that are currently partially occupied by Russia (Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson) as well as giving up claims to Crimea, and Russia takes ownership of everything without a fight
2. Ukraine's army is demobilized and Ukraine is demilitarized
3. Ukraine is banned from joining any international organization, not just NATO (so no EU for instance)
4. Ukraine receives no more military aid fro the west.

Trump is going to find out that you can't unilaterally declare peace.

What the hell is wrong with Canada? Everything I've heard out of there for the past year or more has been horrible.

NGL kinda shocked that the CIA wasn't involved with the Argentine junta.

EDIT: It was! Your map needs more red on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Argentine_coup_d'%C3%A9tat

Those children weren't civilians, they were potential combatants. Whose to say they wouldn't have grown up to become militants?

Also observing that Israel murders children is anti-semitic. Haven't you ever heard of the black legend?

EDIT: Those children were probably anti-semites who died on purpose so the IDF could be accused of being baby killers.

1992 Bill Clinton thought that we should have universal single-payer healthcare. In 2016 Hillary said that would "never, ever, ever happen."

This is SOP in silicon valley so I'm sure you're correct.

As a person who's not a young adult anymore I'm not sure how or if it ever was. My young adulthood was full of angst, rumination, poverty, debt, etc. Looking back there were definitely good things that I miss, but I'm in such a massively better financial and mental place these days that I can't imagine going back.

More of a fart reel than a sizzle reel.

The basic message was "stop resisting" because AI is "inevitable." I think it's telling that this is the message the industry is going with.

Unfortunately Mozilla's brand new CEO is a McKinsey ghoul: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chamberslaura/

Soldiers sniping obviously innocent people (including women going to church, and hostages trying to escape in their underwear waving white flags) is definitely murder.
