Here in Germany, they can decide to refuse a name for a child if it's overly krass or might make the child's life unduly difficult. While one can argue about whether they like that, at least it only happens once. If you have a name, you can get as many passports with it on there as you want.

Depending on the context, some of those can also be savage insults.

I mean, if I felt morally obliged to disclose illegal or immoral practices to the public, I'd be sure to run so somewhere they can't get me. If there aren't proper whistleblower protections, you gotta make your own.

You should always read scientific publications with a healthy dose of scepticism - not because science isn't to be trusted, but because trying to falsify it's results and finding potential issues is an important part of the process.

If you do that, I don't see why you should treat Chinese papers differently. Sure, a country with an authoritarian government with a cultural emphasis on face might produce some papers that aren't factual due to that specifically, but dismissing the scientific output of a nation of over a billion people over that seems backwards.

I don't really see the harm in that, if someone wants to erp an ai, they'll find a way. If I remember correctly, OpenAI already isn't all that rigorous with banning people who break the ToS in that way.

The number of concepts per colour makes this feel a bit arbitrary.

Wow, Hong Kong has really big ID cards. But this is nice, I'm happy for him.

Uh, I understand the sentiment, but the model doesn't know anything. And it's legit really hard to differentiate between factual things and random bullshit it made up.

I thought it might just have been about a badly worded law, but no, at least from the translation given, the law seems pretty clear, and the opinion from the court seems extremely strange.

I have relatively long Passwords, because why not, and had problems with pages restricting the number of characters you can enter in the login window, but not the registration window. Or restricting password length and cutting your password off, but not telling you about it, so you gotta figure out that they set the first 30 characters of the saved password as your password.

Always fun to deal with. I could make it a lot easier for me by just using shorter passwords, but I think deep down I'm a masochist.

I'd assume that's a joke. I mean, she's an arsehole, but that doesn't change that.

I think we as a society are too uptight about nudity, but that doesn't mean that creating pictures of people without their consent, which make them feel uncomfortable, is in any way OK.
