⚡️ Zelensky's approval rating jumps to 68% after Trump clash, poll shows.

The most significant jump came after the Feb. 28 Oval Office meeting, which ended in a public dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

@Techmeme This is the danger of closed source

These are knowledge models, and they only output what they are fed with

And no, they won’t magically develop ’reasoning skills’ and be able to sift through propaganda. NOT when it’s part of the training

To think otherwise means you don’t know shit how they work

Training data for #ai #foundationmodels should be subject to public #academic scrutiny. Otherwise the models are bound to fall for flooding attacks

They obey statistics

@jonn I'm not sure what I wrote is required but one case it certainly is if you're a weirdo and like writing stuff like

const fn = <A> (a: A) => ...

Cause that's obviously an opening JSX tag. Adding a comma helps disambiguate (and pisses off ESLint).

The reason I meh'd at Haskell stuff is because I want this to be implicit unless actually needed (as in TS).

So not as worried about definitions as being able to write let rgb = image.convert<RGB>() or let rgb: Image<RGB> = image.convert() or let rgb: Image = image.convert(); rgb.at(0,0).red = 0; (etc)

Which kind of calls for a specific syntax construct that is never expected and almost always allowed.

@jonn ^ this! and after the 4 years end, granted trump is not reelected and doesn't cease power in some other way, it will be impossible to find a single person who had voted for him, at least not by asking people :-)
