Yes, exactly, this is a very slippery slope. Then you have presidents banning foreign platforms because they have political leanings that hinder their party or chances at being reelected, etc.

This is extremely common and typically handled via tariffs. If China won't allow the USA to sell Product A in their country, then the US slaps a tariff on Product B that China sells in the US. The issue here is that with these kinds of online services, the user is the commodity being monetized, so there really isn't much of anything that a tariff can be placed on with TikTok that is direct enough.

Government just hasn't adapted fast enough to figure out how to regulate these newer technologies, so their default action is to ban it entirely.

The point is that this is done with every other type of commodity that exists (IE no one is allowed to import wool into our country, to protect our local production), so it seems reasonable to do it with online services as well.

Um, exactly what they've done? Blame outsiders and don't take any internal responsibility for your country's issues?

LLMs will make this sort of thing much, much easier. Use something like Google Translate to translate from Russian to English. Then run that output through ChatGPT asking it to format it like a well written major news outlet story, and there you go. That will clean up all the typical translation and grammatical errors that make it easy to spot these kinds of fake sites.

I can see at least one issue in this particular case. Some messaging platforms, like FB Messenger, will default the Send button to an emoji if no text has been typed into the outgoing message box. If it's someone you're in a relationship with (as determined by your FB status) it is a kiss. Otherwise it's typically a thumbs up. So what happens is when sending a message, if you inadvertently press send twice, the second time results in the emoji being sent.

When you type a word "Okay" or some other confirmation, it's pretty clear you didn't send it by accident. The UI for emojis is complex and easy to make mistakes or inadvertently send something you didn't intend to. So there may be a legal argument on those grounds still, which is an entirely different argument than the meaning of whatever emoji that was sent.

This is just a superficial fix to underlying problems in LLMs. If you have to engineer your question such a very specific manner that the AI produces a correct answer, then you're merely adding another layer of crap on top to try and patch your system to work correctly.

Imagine a company produces a math processor chip that always gets the operation 4 + 4 wrong and produces 7. So to fix that the UI on top converts 4 + 4 into 4 + 4 + 1 before feeding it to the processor. That's pretty much what prompt engineering is doing but in a vastly more complex, nebulous and often biased way.

Taking into account the clarity, specificity, organization, engagement, and terminology of the text, I would assign it a grade of B.

The text effectively communicates the purpose of Writable as a time-saving tool for teachers and provides insight into its functionality with ChatGPT. It offers clear examples of how teachers use the tool and briefly mentions the privacy measures taken by Writable. However, there are areas where the text could be improved for clarity and engagement, such as providing more specific examples and explanations, smoothing transitions between points, and offering quotes or testimonials for added context. Additionally, the explanation of tokenization could be clearer for readers unfamiliar with the term. Overall, while the text effectively conveys its message, there is room for enhancement to elevate its quality and readability to a higher level.

The FAA and friends need to quit crippling SpaceX with never ending red tape. You'd better believe the Chinese space programs do not have this kind of drag slowing down their development cadence.

To clarify, Morse code is still alive and well in the Amateur Radio community (although it is no longer required for any license levels at all now - even the "Extra" highest class license doesn't require it). It is still used regularly by hams, and there are also Morse code beacons that transmit automatically for various propagation purposes.

What this article refers to is the last commercial Morse code radio station.

Our company has some business presence in India, and we have found that it is part of the standard business ethics / practice to basically try to get away with whatever you can. Fees, expenses, agreements, etc, are never perceived to be set in stone. Whatever one can get by with is considered acceptable and moral from a business standpoint, and when "caught" breaking the terms of the agreement it is expected there is no harm / no foul and they simply will pay up since they must.

FTFY

We're not talking about layers of stone or ice here, but muddy sediment at the bottom of a lake. I'm sure there are many other things that have encroached down into that sediment as well, especially various chemicals, radioactive isotopes, etc. So they simply cannot use that particular type of layering as an indicator for this particular kind of pollution.

Buy a Retroid 3+ or similar handheld specifically designed for this purpose. It's cheaper, and far, far more open (running Android). In addition to running PSP you can run PS1, PS2, Wii, Gamecube, on and on.

Why does this seem to read just like a text out of Skyrim?

I guess Syntactic Complexities is another way of saying "poorly worded run-on sentences that are missing proper punctuation".
