In their interactions and personal knowledge, perhaps he was. If you personally don't know Danny or anyone else involved, your only exposure is what you've heard presented and made public. If you personally knew Danny and hadn't witnessed any of these crimes yourself, you now have a conflicted view of someone who is both your friend and now guilty of 2 counts of sexual assault. While that conviction almost certainly changes your relationship going forward, it doesn't change how you thought of that individual beforehand.

Ashton and Mila were asked to write letters of character that described the Danny they knew. It doesn't change the outcome of the trial, but as with matters that carry different sentencing structures awarded by the judge, a judge will often take letters like this to determine what is appropriate. Is there a chance that the defendant will repeat this offense? What punishment, if any, will be restorative to the victims? How does this punishment affect everyone, including families established years afterwards? Is the defendant the same person today as they were when they committed these crimes?

These aren't matters easily decided and therfore it isn't surprising to see letters of character submitted either as part of the trial or during sentencing. If there is a patten of behavior, then sentencing might be maximum allowed, but if there's no clear discernable behavior, then sentencing might be light.

I don't know all the details that was considered, but based on my knowledge from reports, I think 15 years concurrent would have been appropriate. However, I don't have all the evidence or material to make an informed decision. I don't look upon these letters ss reflecting poorly on Ashton or Mila as they were just doing what was asked of them to help give the judge the context necessary to carry out an appropriate sentence. They aren't guilty of doing anything wrong, more than the lawyers defending a now convicted and sentenced rapist.

How does Russia want our help? Strange that they're asking the West to help with the Ukranian drone attacks, but they have my support.

That's the same theme of a reply I made yesterday. I read the article and might have even boosted it myself because as a fediverse citizen, I'm concerned about any government agency seizing an instance like this. The "well known racist" claim is demonstrably false, because I still don't know who they are talking about nor would I know the person behind a username.

I think a human might consider the meaning about what is being said whereas an LLM is only going to consider what token is the best one to use next. Humans might not be infallible, but they are presently better at detecting obvious BS that would slip undetected past an AI.

Maybe this is an opportunity we haven't considered. This is the chance to create a Turing CAPTCHA Test. We can't use Glorbo to do so, because it has been written, but perhaps it makes sense that there is a nonsensical code phrase people can use to identify AIs, both with markers intentionally added to LLM training models, buried in articles written by human authors, and a challenge/response which is never written down and only passed verbally through real human-human interactions.

Arguably it is a strength. Unless a user has used the same username and password for different instances, their credentials on one instance are shielded from exploit over the whole network. The potential risk can only really be determined by how security was breeched. If it was social engineering, then there isn't any other direct concern. If it was a vulnerability in software, then the same attack could be played out on other instances, but that's not any different than other systems like a Linux kennel exploit.

That's a different game. Built on a modified Doom engine.

AI LLMs are the best rubber duck. Like a rubber duck, it's probably not going to "solve" anything for you directly, but LLMs can be a great tool to unlock your potential.

Good for him.

I loved some of his earlier work before his name change and all associated with that. While I haven't watched anything he's made recently, Umbrella Academy is supposed to be good, but I haven't set aside any time to watch it yet, I hope that he continues to find success and finds material he wants to be in and which matches his talent as an actor.

The preferred method is r/Tildes, but there's additional information at that link.

Maybe both... 🤔

It got popular and lost its sense of community. It used to be common, even in large subreddits, to see someone's username and recognize it again on another subreddit on the site. I made friends this way. It was sometimes less common, but you sometimes would see someone you knew IRL -- do you let them know?

Once karma became a currency, sometimes exchanged for real currency to buy influence, that's when Reddit started changing. Like many things, it fell for commercialization.

Servers may also send [a 404] response instead of 403 Forbidden to hide the existence of a resource from an unauthorized client.

In this case, I agree that 403 is the better response, but for some resources, in the name of security and privacy, 404 might be more appropriate depending on the request.
