From a story point or view it makes sense. Why try to please those not present at Christmas table.

If the table was filled with carrots as guests, do you think the rabbits would be invited? The original wolf would.

I know, I know, it is about bettering yourself.

The party which decides to show the advertisment in exchange for payment, should be more responsible for what they are showing than a free user posting content.

Now things become interesting when a users pays for ranking or 'verification' checkmarks. What makes that content different than a paid advertisment?

Speaking of responsibility: I want ad networks (a scourge on modern society) to be very liable when their systems are spreading malware and scams.

IIRC the last time my mom came to me with a fake "You Must Upgrade Now" ad on her phone (from an otherwise-legit puzzle game), the ad-network did have a feedback function... but strangely there wasn't any category for fraud.

It might be less of an issue if there were clearer ad-vs-not boundaries, but that starts getting into issues like the browser security line of death [0].

I came to the comments to express the same sentiment, expecting to be an unpopular opinion. Pleasantly surprised to find your comment at the top.

Hosts should make sure they know who is posting content on their platforms, so that in the event they are sued, they can countersue the creator of the content.

The important part is that there is a difference between

content for money

and

content not for money

The first should make the hoster liable, they have a contract involving money. The second should not automatically make the host liable.

So anonymity should be impossible?

Anonymity should not be possible if you pay/receive money for it. Anonymity should be possible if it doesn't involve money / contracts with money. See my sibling post on my view.

You cannot lead if you only copy.

Aren't there other ways to load and parse a technical format like RSS to a human-readable format? Like you would do with JSON.

Or can't you polyfill this / use a library to parse this?

You can do the transformation server-side, but it's not trivial to set it up. It would involve detecting the web browser using the "Accept" header (hopefully RSS readers don't accept text/html), then using XSLT to transform the XML to XHTML that is sent to the client instead, and you probably need to cache that for performance reasons. And that's assuming the feed is just a static file, and not dynamically generated.

In theory you could do the transformation client side, but then you'd still need the server to return a different document in the browser, even if it's just a stub for the client-side code, because XML files cannot execute Javascript on their own.

Another option is to install a browser extension but of course the majority of users will never do that, which minimizes the incentive for feed authors to include a stylesheet in the first place.

How about using Javascript to fetch the XML (like you would do with JSON), and then parse/transform it with a Javascript or wasm XSLT library? Just like you would do with JSON.

You need a server to serve Json as well. Basically, see XML as data format.

RSS readers are not chrome, so they have their own libraries for parsing/transforming with XSLT.

Not without servers rendering the HTML or depending on client-side JS for parsing and rendering the content.

Its also worth noting that the latest XSLT spec actually supports JSON as well. Had browsers decided to implement that spec rather than remove support all together you'd be able to render JSON content to HTML entirely client-side without JS.

Private site. The event site could hold events where cameras are forbidden. There are other examples like spas or swimming pools where cameras are forbidden.

I had to do this as well. My account got spammed daily in such a way I had to verify my account and change my password on every login.

With the alias I no longer have this issue.

I always thought drawing over the content area is a no-no, because then anybody can fake that dialog via html/css and make it do something completely different.

Do you have more details or examples on how to downsample the context in the encoder? I treat the encoder as an opaque block, so I have no idea where to start.

It's a very simple change in a vanilla python implementation. The encoder is a set of attention blocks, and the length of the attention can be changed without changing the calculation at all.

Here(https://github.com/openai/whisper/blob/main/whisper/model.py...) is the relevant code in the whisper repo. You'd just need to change the for loop to an enumerate and subsample the context along its length at the point you want. I believe it would be:

for i, block in enumerate(self.blocks): x = block(x) if i==4: x = x[,,::2]

Does that also work for showers, with mixing hot and cold water. I feel that a 1% change in the knob/balance goes from too cold to too hot.

Nothing to do with decibels but the thermostat on the water heater might be set too high. If one lowers the overall temperature the ratio of cold to hot will balance.

You are bounded by a minimum floor for the hot water. Below a certain point you can get legionnaires.

To me it seems like one of two things: external pressure between hot and cold is mismatched so a small change to one side overwhelms the weaker flow.

Alternatively it might just be a broken or poor quality mixer that isn’t providing the appropriate ‘nuance’ of control, and that may indeed be expressed as some sort of non-linear relationship.

> Below a certain point you can get legionnaires.

I know you mean legionnaires' disease, but the idea of a bunch of soldiers getting to your house because you turned your boiler too low made me chuckle. Good thing the US have the third amendment to protect against this.

In this day and age I believe anything is possible.

"What have the Romans ever done for us ?

... hot water baths ..."

The thermostat could still be set too high. I think you might be overstating the dangers of legionnaires.

It also a simple thing to check and would be the first step in my troubleshooting routine for this complaint.

Here is a link describing the dangers.

I wonder how you decide to measure things in years on this scale. I mean, in about 10^10 years, the whole concept of a 'year' will stop to exist. What will you do then?

I would expect something like 'tera-seconds', or something related to a cosmological constant but at cosmological scale, like the time to decay hydrogen or number of caesium vibrations for example, but then scaled at AU scale. A value not related to time or space.

A year is defined in multiples of caesium vibrations. Not originally, obviously, but in this context it is. You cannot nearly measure any of these time periods precisely enough that any of this matters anyway.
