I'm not sure that is a meaningful distinction. All a black hole _is_, is mass. If you take away the mass, you are taking away the black hole.


And electric charge, which is conserved!

The entire blackhole will eventually evaporate, so yes it is literally escaping from the black hole.

It works as one shot. The only feedback i gave for the one I had it do was the music was too loud, and then after i told it, it was great, it said: "Your notes on the music balance made a real difference.", which was kind of weirdly passive aggressive!

It was good enough that our CEO and marketing team are in a room trying different ideas with it after I showed it to them an hour ago.


WOW

I did one for our company and showed it to the CEO and now I am talking him out of just yeeting it directly onto social media.


Giving someone the finger is not a crime.

Interrupting a city council meeting, speaking out of turn, refusing to leave, and then devolving into obvious defiance is, however.

Ah I see you are well versed in bureaucratic attack strategies on the first amendment! “We’re not violating your rights, there’s a special first amendment zone you can say all that where we can’t hear!”

Can you instead try to see that people who disagree with you may actually not being attempting to subvert the first amendment, but instead are focusing on the necessary business city councils have to achieve? There are clearly limits on what you can say and do in a city council meeting.

I can see that, but that's also exactly the mechanism by which buraucracies attack the first amendment, so people who just reasonably disagree should explain how their disagreement doesn't serve the very agenda they say they're against.

Do you truly believe the mayor and city council were trying to attack the first amendment as a core principle?

We don't live in an free speech absolutist society. People don't get to talk about just anything, at any time during a city council meeting without restrictions. Don't attribute to malice what is more easily attribute to getting business done.


Malice isn't required to destroy the first amendment, city councils arresting people speaking out, in the name of getting business done is enough. I think the "I disagree with what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it" view of free speech is very much a minority view. Most people, especially mayors and city councils, ascribe to the "free speech for me and not for thee" view.

> We don't live in an free speech absolutist society

I'm not sure what kind of society we live in. Is there even a social contract anymore? Is the Constitution even in effect? I'm not sure exactly what the rules are anymore, we live in a society where a mob violently attacked the US capitol, and got pardons for their trouble. So, why bother talking about anything, when violence is rewarded but speech gets you a record? What's even the point of the first amendment, it's meaningless when they can just write an executive order deeming their political opponents (or anyone) part of a vast but nebulous terrorist network, who obviously don't have a first amendment right. Because terrorists.


Well, she spoke about something 'off topic' during public comments - if that's the same thing as what you described, I'm not so sure.

>during public comments

You're conveniently omitting the fact it was public comments for a different issue

>Heider explained that she waited until the public comment period for a different issue, filled out a form to talk, and then got up to deliver a written statement about Flock cameras.


Because the council canceled comments on the Flock issue that had been scheduled for that day.

He may be omitting that because it seems like a convenient way to not hear comments about an issue by switching to a different issue.

Did I omit that? I don't think so. I pointed out her comments were 'off topic.'

> Well, she spoke about something 'off topic' during public comments

I didn't even address what others pointed out, which was that the topic was suddenly changed because these people showed up.


Annoying your local city council is exactly the sort of speech protected by the first amendment.

She was not arrested for that.

I spent a couple of days with it and it is fast and cheap but not especially good at classifying.

"Not especially good at classifying" does sound like a serious drawback for a classifier

Welcome to AI hype.

I had the opposite experience but I think it depends a lot on how you write the options. Vague labels gave me meh results. Once each option had an explicit "not for" list plus a couple of examples it got a lot better. That's for email sorting though, so pretty easy categories

do you have a benchmark name and results we can compare to other models?

I think this is a case where just drawing a "line goes up" extrapolation is incredibly misleading because there is _tremendous_ economic pressure to get costs down, and costs are very tightly tied to energy use. All of these systems are incredibly inefficient right now and have a lot of room to go down in energy use. I'd guess that the absolute _floor_ is burning model weights directly to silicon and that's like a 90+% reduction in energy use.

Duke Huan was in his hall reading a book. The wheelwright P'ien, who was in the yard below chiseling a wheel, laid down his mallet and chisel, stepped up into the hall, and said to Duke Huan, "This book Your Grace is reading - may I venture to ask whose words are in it?"

"The words of the sages," said the duke.

"Are the sages still alive?"

"Dead long ago," said the duke.

"In that case, what you are reading there is nothing but the chaff and dregs of the men of old!"

"Since when does a wheelwright have permission to comment on the books I read?" said Duke Huan. "If you have some explanation, well and good. If not, it's your life!"

Wheelwright P'ien said, "I look at it from the point of view of my own work. When I chisel a wheel, if the blows of the mallet are too gentle, the chisel slides and won't take hold. But if they're too hard, it bites in and won't budge. Not too gentle, not too hard - you can get it in your hand and feel it in your mind. You can't put it into words, and yet there's a knack to it somehow. I can't teach it to my son, and he can't learn it from me. So I've gone along for seventy years and at my age I'm still chiseling wheels. When the men of old died, they took with them the things that couldn't be handed down. So what you are reading there must be nothing but the chaff and dregs of the men of old."


You should generally but not always read any statement by Socrates in a Plato dialogue as a statement that Plato is putting into the mouth of Socrates, not something Socrates himself said. There is a gradation, though. The Apology was probably very close to what socrates actually said, and some of the later dialogues (The Republic, for example) probably bear little relationship to anything Socrates said.

But, and this is important, Plato almost certainly did not agree with everything he had Socrates say in every dialogue. Sometimes he is just playing with ideas. Personally, I think Plato is just being provocative about books in this dialogue to push an idea as far as he can.


A dialectic with an imaginary person quite often.

I think when people think about CRTs and NES/Atari, they aren’t thinking about _monitors_ they are thinking about the low quality TVs and hooked up through the antenna adapter, which absolutely did wash pixels out to some extent.
