It might have been a waste of Harris&#39; time but I wish she had pushed harder. The answer is clearly &#34;no, he would not veto a ban&#34; but it would be very bad for him to admit that<br/><br/>I thought he answered the Ukraine question, even if he refused to use their wording. The answer was obviously no, he wants to negotiate an end not support Ukraine winning. Honestly one of his clearer and more truthful answers. 2024-09-11T06:57:36Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxhkar3lcuyqfxjhcu7hmyz3e3058qlh5ak0yjxskwchsr9x7gh3szyzqtak3f3y808v0pcwrqk0nfduu4y6zrc8a4xcyd53f9tvaureyxvm9a7x3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq2sgn4ztew8v4yqmvpgsrnh40ux8g2myz093jfx0zl8s9ycmtvmsnlqqjy'>nevent1q…qqjy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>To be clear: I&#39;m not trying to break anything, I&#39;m literally a sympathetic audience trying to do normal things with Gemini. 2024-09-08T22:54:41Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsq2sgn4ztew8v4yqmvpgsrnh40ux8g2myz093jfx0zl8s9ycmtvmszyzqtak3f3y808v0pcwrqk0nfduu4y6zrc8a4xcyd53f9tvaureyxvp8qzq3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqjmhuhzhzmtalm4jmc02cuhnt4tptvgj7was4l7mxmwm72ll2rjs2ehtlf'>nevent1q…htlf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I usually set timers with the voice assistant, but I couldn&#39;t talk for whatever reason and saw I could type in the request.

(&#34;Toxic&#34; is also a pretty toxic word. I&#39;m going to have to think of alternatives...)<br/><br/>It&#39;s accusatory and moralizing but also ill-defined, and invites everyone to project whatever meaning they want onto it.

And I think they went a little further, basically asking people not to admonish others for using AI.<br/><br/>It probably didn&#39;t help that by using words like &#34;ableist&#34; they invited this kind of bitter and divisive discussion... that seems to follow that word everywhere. 2024-09-04T20:29:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrqsm2x34907dpdpalmtsyypggtun99h4n8tth0cckace2lm54c9czyzqtak3f3y808v0pcwrqk0nfduu4y6zrc8a4xcyd53f9tvaureyxvsjre65 I&#39;ve read a lot of discussion on #LLMs and whether they can reason.<br/><br/>The more I think about it the more unreasonable the debate seems. Obviously LLMs can reason. Even simple instructions require reasoning... parsing instructions that use negatives, pronouns chained conditionals, this is all normal LLM capability. There&#39;s no pattern match against a training corpus that can accomplish that.<br/><br/>I think there&#39;s a kind of bias against normal human thought that dismisses this as &#34;reasoning&#34; ... 2024-08-18T15:17:16Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqhcmmnfpn0lmvrm808xaz6n2x0u0kkx8ydc37fupw7zar26rhk8szyzqtak3f3y808v0pcwrqk0nfduu4y6zrc8a4xcyd53f9tvaureyxv55w8tq Given how much I enjoy vocal harmonizing, I realized it&#39;s really underrepresented in the music I listen to regularly.<br/><br/>(I don&#39;t mean close harmony, I don&#39;t really get close harmony)<br/><br/>I&#39;m trying to come up with a list of songs I listen to that fall into this category, and I realize it&#39;s often just a couple songs in an artist&#39;s repertoire.
