I mean, plenty of us were hoping the shooter wasn’t antifa, and that’s not so different.

If you prefer active voice then “He died” is optimal.

Actually “He died” uses the active voice, whereas “He was murdered” uses the passive voice.

A new model needs training data, it doesn’t matter if the data is new or old. But generally, a more advanced model needs more training data, so AI devs generally need at least some new training data.

No, the old model does not have the training data. It only has “model weights”. You can conceptualize those as the abstract rules that the old model learned when it read the training data. By design, they are not supposed to memorize their training data.

To outperform the old model, the new model needs more than what the old model learned. It needs primary sources, ie the training data itself. Which is going to be deleted.

It’s true that a new model can be initialized from an older one, but it will never outperform the older one unless it is given actual training data (not necessarily the same training data used previously).

Kind of like how you can learn ancient history from your grandmother, but you will never know more ancient history than your grandmother unless you do some independent reading.

They will need actual training data when they want to develop the next version of their LLM.

I doubt it. How would they keep disgruntled ex-employees from spilling the beans?

They were also forced to delete the pirated works from their training data. Which means they might have problems training the next version of their LLM, and if so that revenue is going to dry up.

No, he said “ICE, Customs and Border Patrol, the Department of Homeland Security, and other similarly situated federal agencies” had started staging.

Pritzker said he received information about Trump’s plans, not that the Guard already deployed.

What weapons? Illinois has very strict gun control, including an assault weapons ban.

There are exceptions for federal officers. But if Trump can’t find a way to federalize the Texas Guard…

I doubt that’s Texas National Guard, everyone would know if they already deployed.

Much more likely that Great Lakes is hosting a surge of ICE agents

I thought it was straightforward.

Democrats voted on a resolution for an arms embargo, and the vote failed.

I just saved another $15,000

Like saying goodbye to a crazy neighbor you know.

OK, if you haven’t been to an American pharmacy then I will inform you that they don’t carry everything one might reasonably need.

To take another example, a few years I went to Costco for the nasal spray flu vaccine that my kid prefers. They didn’t have it and couldn’t order it. And no, this wasn’t due to some weird objection to vaccines. They had plenty of flu vaccine available, but only the kind administered with needles. Nor were they somehow unfamiliar with this version, because they did offer it in previous years.

It was also not offered by other big box pharmacies like Target or Walgreen’s. So to get the nasal spray flu vaccine, my kid would have to go to the pediatrician.

No, they said they never sold it at all.

There are a bunch of medicines that are both patented (i.e. expensive) and with way lower demand. In other words: less profitable.

And what makes you think Costco carries them?

There are a bunch of medicines that Costco has never carried, not just mifepristone.

You don’t get a mistrial when your defense lawyer messed up.
