They've got thunderbird which is as far as I know the only serious alternative to outlook.

Same issue here.

including the Slogan: 'From the river to the sea – Palestine shall be free'

As it should, this phrase and it's Israeli counterpart "between the sea and the Jordan there will be only Israeli sovereignty" are often accompanied by calls for mass deportation at best and genocide at worst.

These sentences are not bad on their own, but the parties from which they originate (Hamas and Likud) have transparent desires for war crimes and genocide.

“They had Polish refugee status certificates for the adults and Polish ID cards for the children. These people were taken to the police station for further investigation,” said von Vegesack. He added that, after their legal situation was confirmed, the family had to be sent back to Poland.

According to the spokesman, German officials informed the Polish border guard about the situation through the Polish-German Centre for Cooperation of Border, Police and Customs Services in Świecko.

“Since there was no reaction from the Polish side for several hours, the officers decided to take the family to the Polish-German border…in order to release them to Poland,” said von Vegesack.

The article above should be more "polish refugees left alone in Poland by German police" rather than the current one which suggests that Germany is getting rid of its migrants illegally.

Now instead of just querying the goddamn database, a one line fucking SQL statement, I have to deal with the user team

Exactly, you understand very well the purpose of microservices. You can submit a patch if you need that feature now.

Funnily enough I'm the technical lead of the team that handles the user service in an insurance company.

Due to direct access to our data without consulting us, we're getting legal issues as people were using addresses to guess where people lived instead of using our endpoints.

I guess some people really hate the validation that service layers have.

I'm afraid that would not be sufficient.

These instructions are a small part of what makes a model answer like it does. Much more important is the training data. If you want to make a racist model, training it on racist text is sufficient.

Great care is put in the training data of these models by AI companies, to ensure that their biases are socially acceptable. If you train an LLM on the internet without care, a user will easily be able to prompt them into saying racist text.

Gab is forced to use this prompt because they're unable to train a model, but as other comments show it's pretty weak way to force a bias.

The ideal solution for transparency would be public sharing of the training data.

people who've never been laid

That was unnecessary. I know that people with poor social skills have more trouble with romance, but implying that all virgins are socially inept is a harmful stereotype, luck is a big factor in finding relationships.

It's absolutely amazing, but it is also literally and technologically impossible for that to spontaneously coelesce into reason/logic/sentience.

This is not true. If you train these models on game of Othello, they'll keep a state of the world internally and use that to predict the next move played (1). To execute addition and multiplication they are executing an algorithm on which they were not explicitly trained (although the gpt family is surprisingly bad at it, due to a badly designed tokenizer).

These models are still pretty bad at most reasoning tasks. But training on predicting the next word is a perfectly valid strategy, after all the best way to predict what comes after the "=" in 1432 + 212 = is to do the addition.

Now let's look at Office. Open an Excel spreadsheet with tables in any app other than excel. Tables are something that's just a given in excel, takes 10 seconds to setup, and you get automatic sorting and filtering, with near-zero effort. No, I'm not setting up a DB in an open-source competitor to Access. That's just too much effort for simple sorting and filtering tasks, and isn't realistically shareable with other people.

Am I missing something or isn't it exactly the same thing in libre office ?

I don't believe that there are solutions that are as complete as team, for video and voice calls it's among the best.

But it's so bad for text ! Why do I have to wait for a second when I change channels ? Why does it not support markdown (the partial implementation that it has is arguably worse than no implementation at all) ? Why is the search so bad ?

the two men had been arrested for undermining authority

This is not true in France. Politicians that have proven fraud are arrested and charged. In France we have Sarkozy, Cahuzac, Fillon that were all charged with crimes.

They were president, minister and presidential candidate respectively. I'd be surprised if it was different in the USA. I'm seeing that trump is also being charged, the system seems to be working.
