The data used to configure it.

I don't understand why it's so hard to sandbox an LLM's configuration data from it's training data.

We did this in Austin, and I hate it. It's probably fine if you go to the store and use your own totes, but my situation requires that I have to get my groceries delivered, so that isn't an option for me. And instead of plastic bags which I could crumple up to take up near-zero space and actually reuse, my house is filled with enormous paper bags that have already ripped before I got the groceries up the stairs in the first place and take up tons of space and have basically zero reuse value and go straight into the trash after one use. I used to reuse plastic shopping bags all the time; waste basket liners, collecting random odds and ends to throw away together, organizing and storing dozens of random cables and chargers, etc.

I wish there was a better way to dispose of plastic bags. Because while I understand the reasonings for the ban, the result is majorly inconvenient and ironically results in more single-use products in my life.

Just more conservatives casually admitting that they can't win anything without rigging the vote.

It's against Reddit's ToS, but as far as I'm aware there's no law that says you can't pay to manipulate social media content.

How is it “indiscriminate” if solely Hezbollah operatives were targeted?

Because said operatives were often within exploding distance of civilians when the pagers were detonated. Shrapnel, even from a small explosion, can be deadly and has a fairly large range. Especially if you don't have line-of-sight to your target before detonating the device; you have no idea what or who is nearby when it goes off.

"Explosive" and "targeted" generally don't go hand-in-hand.

"Ordinary device" in this context means anything that does not immediately resemble an instrument of war.

You should check out Rainbolt's Geoguesser runs. He often narrates his thought process as he goes. He's looking at things like the angle of the sun and shadows to determine what hemisphere of the planet he's on, looks at the vegetation and soil types to further pinpoint his longitude, etc. He'll even take photos sent directly to him from viewers, and he'll find out exactly where the photo was taken, even if that image had never existed on the internet prior.

Some of these guys are insanely talented at this. Rainbolt is probably the most entertaining and educational, IMO. Definitely worth checking out some of his videos.

I feel like "I'm making a personal choice to pirate because my deliberately-crafted use-case scenario is not being specifically catered to" is a worse argument than "I can't afford it".

distributors and publishers treating me as a second (or third) class citizen

This is like an F1 racer getting angry at 7-Eleven for not offering fuel that works for his supercar. You're not being treated as a second-class citizen; you've created a situation in which you are above first-class citizens, because you're using what is, these days, niche and specialized hardware that is far outside of the norm, but for some reason you're still shopping at the gas station the rest of us peons go to.

This article spent more time explaining the logistics on building pager-bombs than it did actually explaining why building pager-bombs is a bad idea.
