Similar in the UK.

you can get married or civil partnered religiously or non religiously at any approved location or the registry office.

The weird state of affairs is because of the homophobic crowd, gay marriage wasn't allowed, so they invented civil partnerships. Then that inequality was rectified. Then a straight couple sued the government because they weren't allowed to get civil partnered and won, so now anyone can do either and there is little practical difference. Marriage has verbal vows in addition to signing a thing and civil partnerships just have signing.

I'm not sure you grasp what the religious whackadoodles want.

They absolutely want that and will happily back whoever they think will do it. Look at them all backig trump, for example. Stay what your want about him, but multiple divorces, affairs, kids all over the place, etc doesn't fit with that they profess to want, but he was able to deliver them an end to roe v Wade.

I mean, without reference to AI, your phone having features you don't use doesn't imply it's missing features you would use.

So far though, I don't keep going back to AI systems.

I left the on device inference area a little over a year ago.

Unless anything has changed, apple are streets ahead of everyone else in this regard.

Basically across the board, in terms of ops/s, FP16 not int8 (or 4 thanks Samsung), buggyness and of course everyone's favourite bugbear, fragmentation.

Now technically you don't neeeeed int8, in practice it's a pain in the arse. Most models trained as FP32 will just work when you chop off half the bits. Training for int8 is a bit of a black art. It's getting better and better understood, but it doesn't always just work and often needs substantial tweaking, raising the barrier to entry somewhat.

As a result it is of course much easier for any rando to deploy a decent performing ml model on an iPhone Vs the competition. With the big players, i.e. Google targeting their own hardware, they have enough manpower to bull through the barriers to get the best performance on their phones.

As a Google branded android distinguishing feature though... Ugh.

Though ai appears to not be on the whole useful because it's dangerous.

A hammer is dangerous because of you can pound nails you can also pound your thumb. Without that dangerous pounding ability, be it would be useless. AI is like a hammer except for putting in screws and it sometimes puts them in upside down or explodes. But mostly they go in within 90 degrees; of the correct angle. Trouble is it's dangerous because you can't tell and only find out all the screws are in badly and sideways when your house falls down.

AIs will do that at random, despite the whac-a-mole process to eliminate such errors. These jailbreaks are just fun, short ways of illustrating the problems are still there and near the surface. I would say though that AI is not useful specifically because of its dangers.

Counter point: conservatives in Israel are sucking really hard right now and that's a PR system.

Unfortunately, building working systems of government is really hard, and most of them have a really hard job fending off sustained attacks by bad faith actors. Almost any crappy system works ok if people are working in good faith.

And yet, I think I could make a convincing argument that she was the best (ie least bad) of the Tory prime ministers since Labour got the boot. That's pretty terrifying really.

And that is with me accepting without arguement that she is indeed an odious little Englander.

It didn't say always misogynistic, it said often. Can you not read? Or do you genuinely believe that unlike real porn and just about anything half way relevant, deep fakes break the pattern and are uniformly represented by gender .

Wtf is that meant to mean? Why is ministry in scare quotes?

Libel isn't protected in the US so writing fiction about real people can and has got people sued. I don't see why pictures get stronger 1A protection than words.

I might invite you to claim victory based on a rather odd autocorrect error if you like.

The shills for genocidal dictatorships never cease to amaze me with their transactions l tenaciousness and stupidity. You clearly can't read English well enough to understand basic sentences, but even at your current pay rate, surely you just see this is a waste of money. You won't convince me and we are the only ones reading.

Unless you are doing this all for free in which case: lol

Take your CCP propaganda and go somewhere else.

I love how morons things facts are now "imperialist Western propaganda". We both know the PRC only mostly won, because of they won completely and had successful conquered Taiwan then the bROC would have created to exist decades ago.

The PRC never conquered Taiwan.

This fact will never adgere to mindless tools of Xi Xiping.

Where does the cut off for a LAWS start.

At one end you have a dumb shell, rocket etc which certainly continue after the initial launch and control.

There's also fire and forget munitions like great seeking missiles or GPS/terrain guided stealth cruise missiles which continue long after they are cut off.

This is comedy gold!

You have strong opinions on China and are unaware of the existence of the CCP! I think the Chinese Communist party may disagree with you as to whether they exist or not!

Fun as this is I don't think it's productive to have a discussion on China with someone who is unaware of the existence of the largest and most powerful faction in the region.

I also note you continue to lie egregiously about my position because you know yours in untenable. Well that's what I assumed. Given you think there's is no Chinese Communist party, it might be that you simply don't take to time to actually read anything at all about anything.
