Some (probably bacteria-like) form of life appeared almost as soon as conditions made it possible, so it’s conceivable that it arose multiple times in earth’s history. But eucaryotes (animals, plants, and fungi) took almost half the lifetime of the earth to appear, and have a lot of contingent features, so it’s overwhelmingly likely that all eucaryotes have a common ancestor.
If there’s public information about the methods they use to protect their privacy, then those methods aren’t working.
I wonder which of that ancestor’s descendants would be its favorite child.
There was a recent paper claiming that LLMs were better at avoiding toxic speech if it was actually included in their training data, since models that hadn’t been trained on it had no way of recognizing it. With that in mind, maybe using reddit for training isn’t as bad an idea as it seems.
Isn’t the LAPD under him
No—I think the only regular law enforcement under the governor are the highway patrol and state park rangers.
I’m not familiar with how the X1C does it, but the printers I’ve used can only tell if the temperature or resistance are outside of normal operating range—not if they differ from the exact values predicted at each point in the print.
The printers themselves should run a simulation like this while they’re printing, and continually check if heat sensors, motor resistance, etc. are deviating from the simulation. That might let them detect potential misprints earlier—or even correct issues mid-print.
Are the school police completely independent from the LAPD, or could they potentially get conflicting orders from the LAPD chief?
If it helps to conceptualize, you can always replace subtraction and division with these equivalents without affecting the order:
a - b
= a + -b
= a + (-1*b)
and
a / b
= a * b-1
= a * (1/b)
The standard order of operations is
The operations on each row are equivalent, and are executed from left to right.
Are you assuming all addition operations come before all subtraction operations, regardless of order?
It was the standard English printed style in the US and UK from the 1860s until the early 20th century, gradually phasing out by the 1950s.
For printers with variable spaces, it was typical to use a hair space before the punctuation and an em space after.

charges of transporting undocumented migrants within the U.S.
How is that even a crime? If an undocumented person takes a bus to the immigration office, can they arrest the bus driver?
Thanks to the neural network, the researchers now suspect, for example, that the black hole at the center of the Milky Way is spinning almost at top speed. Its rotation axis points to Earth.
Why wouldn’t the rotation axis be perpendicular to the galactic plane? Pointing right at Earth seems a bit suspicious.
Weren’t there jokes at the time about them inadvertently building a submarine?
If there’s a new party willing to take over administration of the entire instance as-is, why not just transfer ownership of the original server?
My a priori expectation of where [thing] would be before I knew where it was. (I.e.—if it’s unexpectedly close, it’s “here”; if it’s unexpectedly remote, it’s “there”.)
The 64-year-old said it was hard to estimate the size of the iceberg at sea but figured it was at least three times the size of a regular bungalow.
What is that in international banana units?
The justices, in a 9-0 ruling, threw out a lower court‘s decision…
Is it just me, or has there been an uptick in unanimous Supreme Court rulings lately? Could they be doing some behind-the-scenes vote trading in order to appear more unified in their dealings with the executive branch?
Sounds like not so much a case of ChatGPT trying to avoid being shut down, as ChatGPT recognizing that agents in general are self-preserving. Which seems like a general principle that anything with an accurate world model would be aware of.
