I think "making history" has just become one of those phrases media uses all the time now. Kind of like how any dispute is now "slamming" someone, apparently. Or how anyone you think is wrong is "unhinged".

It already was. The Ohio SC upheld almost all of the phrasing.

Do you have a source for this? This sounds like fine-tuning a model, which doesn't prevent data from the original training set from influencing the output. The method you described would only work if the AI is trained from scratch on only images of iron man and cowboy hats. And I don't think that's how any of these models work.

Other than citing the entire training data set, how would this be possible?

Embed the image using markdown: ![some text](image URL)

When does that even happen? If you have nano installed, wouldn't it work too?

Nobody will remember this time in a few decades. Garfield was straight up assassinated and you're just now realizing that I'm not talking about the cat.

That's assuming printing money is the default solution. Taxes have existed for longer than that. The earliest taxes were literally a portion of a farmers harvest. You can't just print more food, or gold, or whatever else. Printing money to fund government was never really an option, so positioning taxes as a solution to inflation just doesn't make sense. It's like saying that instead of eating at a restaurant, you could eat roadkill, which you aren't going to do because of disease, and therefore restaurants are a way of reducing disease rather than providing food.

I think it's more that opengl is a higher level API that offers less granular control in exchange for easier cross platform support.

I don't know about the UK, but my experience in the US was exclusively women in elementary school, 80-90% women in middle school, 60-70% women in high school. I was actually surprised when I first had a male teacher in middle school, I guess I had thought that male teachers was like an old timey / TV / college thing.

Why do you need so much info on Mike? Can't you just evaluate his statements/work on its own merit? The whole point of open source, federated platforms is that you don't have to trust him. If he decides to enshittify it, you can just go with a fork or another instance. A nomadic identity isn't a centralized alternative to the fediverse, it's just a way of bringing some of the features of a centralized identity to a decentralized one (at least, that's the way I interpreted the article).

Quotas are not the only way to combat discrimination, nor are they a good one. Name-blind hiring would resolve name discrimination without making additional presumptions about the applicant pool. A quota presumes that the applicant pool has a particular racial mix, and that a person's qualifications and willingness to apply are independent of race. And even if those happen to be true, it can't take into account the possibility that the random distribution of applicants just happens to sway one way or another in a particular instance.
