Losing? In MAGA's delusional world, maybe. In reality she's won against the orange pedophile. She won against that illegal immigrant from South Africa. She's winning her fraud case against Citi. She won against the NRA. She won against DOT withholding funding conditional on immigration issues. She's been winning cases against state agencies for not doing their duty for low-income people. She won against the pedophile again when she secured Congressionally secured funding from the Department of Education. She won against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany which pulled the pension for over 1,000 employees and is required to restore that pension.

Doesn't sound like losing, does it?

Regardless of what the models are doing, the reasoning and planning steps appear to provide better results.

That said, I've tried some models like Deepseek distills running locally that when given a query that's too complicated will "reason" in a circle for thousands of words before returning a mediocre answer

where it could shuttle them to the surface of the planet Proxima Centuri b — an Earth-size exoplanet that is thought to be potentially habitable.

What do they do if they get to his planet and find out it can't support their life? Do they stay in the system and live their lives in the ship? Do they turn around and return home? Go some place else?

This is all well and good to talk about sending people to a planet, but thinking it's habitable is far different from knowing it's habitable.

which would require labels on digitally altered campaign materials and ads, for violating the First Amendment.

It does no such thing. It is not prohibiting speech in any manner. The only thing it does is to notify the viewer the ads were digitally altered. The message is still there for everyone to see.

This is no different than requiring a notice on certain junk food to say, "Not actual size" for the product inside the package. No one would consider this a violation of the First Amendment, and neither is this law.

Diploma mills are getting out of hand.

Comment Coding error? (Score 5, Insightful) 71

What the hell were they doing fiddling with coding on what is essentially a static site? I've used that site on many occasions. The amendments aren't changing.

What is needed is the Internet Archive version of what the site looked like and said prior to this "coding error" and what it looks and says after the "fix". That will tell the story.

Destruction of 500 tons of emergency food aid by claiming it was about to expire, but that was because the agency involved with its distribution was shut down.

Planned destruction of $9 million worth of contraceptives, because the same agency was being shut down.

Then there's the nearly $1 billion it will cost to renovate the "free" bribe, er, jet, from Qatar.

Comment Re:This is a bad look for the New York Times (Score 2) 21

NYT's complaint is valid.

That NYT is willing to set the precedent that OpenAI chat logs can be subpoenad is incredibly dangerous. People have all kinds of private conversations with ChatGPT, and this will hurt all of us so that NYT can strike out at LLMs. The trade is not worth it. OpenAI is 100% correct to protect chat data.

But OpenAI has said they delete logs of outputs. If they're now saying that 120 million is too many to go through because more private data could be compromised, that means they haven't been deleting output logs.

Further, since the NYT and others are only looking for articles from their sites, their searches would be limited in nature. This would be no different than you using DDG and searching for how to make a toasted cheese sandwich. You would not get results for how to make a Tokamak reactor (at least we would hope so).
