The engine needs to save the RNG seed too and various other details, the goal is definitely to make it as deterministic as possible (and yes saving the packets is part of that).
Screw AA for doing that spotify stunt - spotify disabled all API access except for paid accounts due to that. AA's greed and mass theft ruined a good thing.
Who's greedy? The people who put something out on the internet for free, or the people who stopped letting people access that same thing, unless they paid them money?
"But Spotify pays the musicians!" some people might scream. While true, it is a pitiful, insulting amount.
The example that hit me the hardest was Dr. Dre, whose albums were streamed 1.5 million times and earned him $4345.
1.5 million is a platinum record album by industry standards in the US, UK, Canada and France.
$4345 isn't even enough to pay a month of rent in New York, where the court case was done.
Anna's Archive is not the ones you can blame for greed.
I wrote a Spicetify plugin to show information about a song’s genres, but unfortunately the public API endpoint it was using -- as well as many other endpoints -- was removed after their changes, even for Premium users.
They do stuff like that. They also killed "Robot" personality last year which was my favorite. The replaced it with "Efficient" or something, but it isn't the same. Robot was terminator-esq, appropriate for the new age we are entering IMO.
Ehh... can't really hit "chatbot" limits on the $20 plan. Pretty sure the limits are not token based for that in the first place, and if it spews out a ton of stuff, it takes me longer to go through it and I end up asking it follow-up questions in a way where it replies... _relatively_ concisely. Still, gimme robot back. On a good note, it almost managed to call me stupid.
Codex has also been fine, but I'm guessing they know better than to tweak it like that, given their target users.
I have hit chatbot limits with the $20 a month plan. During the day I use it with Codex and I night I use it to study Spanish. I don’t know if the two are correlated.
But then I just switch to another OpenAi and strangely enough, chat forces me into “thinking mode” when that happens and won’t let me do instant
Anytime I use a system prompt that attempts to make the LLM “robotic”, I get denied. I have tried on Grok, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. When I ask the LLM why, it says it’s because such system prompts are used to bypass guardrails. Maybe that’s why? idk
Yeah, I miss "Robot". It helps to add something along the lines of
"Tell it like it is; don't sugar-coat responses. Get right to the point. Be concise." to custom instructions.
I'm ex-catholic but not quite sure the "we want to be free to oppress catholics" narrative quite holds up in the case of the trump admin.
The current supreme court has 6 catholic justices, with 2 appointed by trump. 2 of them rubber stamp everything trump does (alito and thomas), and most of the others support him more often than not (rogers, coney-barrett, kavanaugh). Only sotomayor opposes him frequently.
If you covertly (or not) want to oppress a religion why stack the highest court in the country with people from said religion?
I think the point is that it's a (temporary) coalition of the factions that joined together in order to get a leader elected, a leader which is in fact not religious at all and can not be considered to be a member of any of the factions. That temporary coalition will fall apart once faction members are given power in various domains, and then can enact their own faction's preferences, which involve harming other factions.
I know the "flooding the zone with shit" strategy of MAGA/GOP strategists works somewhat at burying relevant information, but improve your searching skills a bit and this is just one example of what you'll find:
Pentagon To Host Good Friday Service Just For Protestants, Not Catholics
Because they figure those two will flip to their side if forced to make a choice. Note for example that Pete Hegseth made an explicit choice to exclude Catholic worship from the Pentagon chapel this past Good Friday.
It’s worth noting that while Catholics who ally themselves with evangelical protestants try to persuade themselves otherwise, many (most?) evangelical protestants view Catholics as not-actually-Christian pagans who need to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior to avoid the actual flames of hell. It’s a phenomenon not unlike https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National...
Hope this is resolved. I guess I could run linux in a VM and mount volumes there, but this is getting a bit dicey. But Win 10 is my last windows anyway.
We can hope that they optimize the models. I still think its going to be very hard for them to charge $100 or $200 a month at scale from many people, especially with AI "taking jobs". To the extent that happens most of those people won't find replacement income.
