One of the things you could do is calculate towards understandable numbers. Per tax payer in Britain (32 million) it would cost ~1150 for that first item on the list. Imagine the amount of dinghies you can buy per person for the lot of these. Billion just isn't that magnitude to most people.
Would expect a lot of models to struggle with making the pope female, making the pope black, or making a black female a pope unless they build in some kind of technique to make replacements. Thing is, a neural net reproduces what you put into it, and I assume the bias is largely towards old white men since those images are way more readily found.
Even targeted prompts, like a zebra with rainbow colored stripes, had very limited results 6 monts ago where there would be at least 50% non black and white stripes. I had to generate multiple times with a lot of negative terms just to get close. Currently, the first generation of copilot matches my idea behind the prompt.
Clearly the step made was a big one, and I imagine tuning was done to ensure models capable of returning more diverse results rather just what is in the data set. It just has more unexpected results and less historically accurate images for these kind of prompts. And some that might be quite painful. Still, being always underrepresented in data sets is also quite painful. Hard to get to a perfect product quickly, but there should be a feature somewhere on their backlog to by default prevent some substitutions. Black, female popes when requesting a generated pope? To me that is a horizon broadening feature. Black, female nazis when requesting nazis? Let that not be a default result.
So? Does that at all invalidate the argument that humans have changed the way, speed and reach of viral infections and viral mutations? It's like saying humans have always gathered in groups. Sure, but modern metropolitan areas come with their own challenges that differ from tribal cultures.
Poultry that has been bred in a way that reduces variety, with more on a certain square footage, with more being transported outside of their natural habitat and migratory range. The problem shouldn't be exaggerated, but human influence shouldn't be ignored.
Bird flu and quick spread of it is likely caused by massive poultry farms, human induced transfer by trade, and transference from contaminated boots combined with travel.
Are we back to the time of not knowing second hand smoke introduces a lot of the same health risks as first hand smoke? Anyone would be able to infer that women that want to get pregnant shouldn't smoke from the proposed headline, but they might think a bit more about their own contributions to the health of others.
Unless people in Africa became more educated, so it feels a bit easy to just disregard them. Also, people often don't change their mind overnight.
As long as we are changing things, why not get rid of the order shift as well? Teenty one, teenty two, teenty three, teenty four, etc.
My guess is you're thinking of the DRC, because Congo is pretty much equal in size.
But the original law still exempts name change by marriage . To me it feels like name changes not on official public record should be the target, as in a deliberate pseudonym. Still, what fits under that umbrella? Your twitter handle, if it isn't your legal name would fit, but no one included that since the law was written.
So you chose culture over their personal choice and you and your kid(s) have to live with the consequences. That's a pretty sad thing that could be prevented by only allowing circumcision to be performed when medically necessary.
So at least they are honest about it.
The title is bad, since Russia gets 150 cm of snow on a average every year. For this to be decades worth of snow you'd have to find 20 years of really light snowfall. It's comparing 50 vs 3000 and saying 50 is larger. For this to be the heaviest snowfall in decades makes a lot more sense.
Recheck the comment please, they didn't mention any gender other than "girl". You filled in the other gender.
If this becomes precedent and enforced the whole Irish tax dodging method becomes moot, puting Ireland on par with other EU nations. If this is a high enough fine it will have long term ramifications.
The main issue to me is, big companies will find the next best thing and continue with unethical accounting, outside of the EU.
Current way to search on google for me is: Add reddit to search string, and set data to before may 1st 2023 Copy link suggested by google and change reddit to reveddit or any of the alternatives there
Results will go out of date but maybe this will tide me over until a good lemmy search is up and running.
