Dude, you have a problem.

It does. Google Maps seems to be a completely separate system from Google Earth.

Of course you can.

I don't know about signing up, it's been a long time since I did that. I assume Slashdot doesn't ask for any kind of identification though, because if it did the user base would have lost their minds. It might ask for an e-mail address, but there are lots of places to get those anonymously.

Slashdot no longer allows posting without making an account because it was too tempting for assholes. Making the account can be fully anonymous, but that extra step means only the really dedicated assholes do it. AI can be a very dedicated asshole though.

Enthusiasts gonna enthsiast.

I am not sure that the UN should be in the business of defining a "standard" map projection

They're not, and they didn't.

The resolution isn't about navigation. It's about education and our modern habit of using maps as decoration. Decoration is one thing, but the Mercator projection isn't a very good choice for education. I was surprised to learn that lots of countries use it. Every elementary classroom I was ever in had an actual globe and a Homolosine projection map. Personally, I think the UN and the various organizations advocating for this missed an opportunity to advocate for Homolosine.

The resolution also recommends teaching students about map projections, which apparently is sorely needed.

Yes, that's called a projection. It's the same thing a map in a textbook does, or the one you hang on a wall. The Mercator projection is used for navigation so it is quite different from the various perspective or orthographic projections used in most video games or the various projections Google Earth uses. The projections recommended by the UN resolution are considerably closer.

Well, he's bombed two of them so far.

A couple thousand years. Maybe more.

Africa is a big place, etc. Lots of places have lots of ATMs and there are definitely lots of cell towers.

So, there's no more ganglords or child labor or forced labor or militias? Sounds great!

All of those things exist in the US of A.

If you read the resolution, there is a bunch of blah blah, but it also encourages using multiple different projections to teach geography and to teach about projections themselves. That's pretty clearly something that's needed in the world.

I was going to put "analytic continuation", but thought that might be too subtle so went with "arrested for public nudity" instead.

Apparently that was also too subtle?

You can build a plain english (markdown file) describing exactly what the agent's role and purpose is.

with new instructions to help them complete their tasks.

Yeah, the enthusiasts changed the name "prompting" to other things so they could have something new to talk about. The models still provide output in response to input even if someone has added some additional software layers and buzz words to impede your understanding.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Also, if it makes a catchy sound bite it has a high probability of being bullshit.

Psychopathy is roughly 50% heritable, which means it's maybe half "born." The rest is "made." Sociopathy is somewhere in the same ballpark.

Meanwhile, the lack of empathy and disregard for social norms that people associate with psychopathy and sociopathy are characteristics of all young children. We learn both empathy and social norms.
