Between the various cortical layers and white matter, what part of the brain’s structure do these implants typically target? Do they sit on top of the outermost layer of some specific region of the cortex (effectively creating a new layer), or do they make long-distance connections to other brain structures?

Thanks—I meant “formal” as in “formal grammar”, not that it wasn’t described in the published protocol. As in, there’s nothing in the protocol’s explicit form that distinguishes between this implied meaning and a real extra recipient—so it simplifies the parsing but adds an extra post-parsing step.

Why not a binary flag or something? Is it just to avoid making it a formal part of the protocol?

Does ActivityPub really send copies of all activities to www.w3.org?

Does a Chinese chef get extremely angry at an Italian chef for making pasta?

I believe that an out-of-the-box lemmy instance will remove deleted content from federated instances automatically.

My point is just that site maintainers can modify the software to do whatever they want, or run software that implements ActivityPub but whose functionality is completely different from that of lemmy.

As another commenter has said, this is likely just a feature of the interface and not a reflection of what other users see.

But you should keep in mind that, due to the nature of federation, your posts are copied to all other instances that are federated with yours—which in theory includes not just lemmy instances but any software implementing the ActivityPub protocol. Whether those instances actually remove posts you’ve marked as deleted is up to their discretion.

Not unless they make it across the Bay Bridge. By then it will already be too late for those of us in the East Bay.

He was the son of an influential congressman who also got a medical degree from Duke. You think that might have affected his chances of admission?

Seems like they could have avoided this by having the Sandy Hook families join the bid with an arbitrarily high dollar amount—which they’d immediately get back as creditors.

Obligatory Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.

My understanding of quantum algorithms is that they set up parallel computations in such a way that incorrect solutions cancel out and correct ones reinforce each other. They indicate the existence of multiple universes to the same extent that the double slit experiment does.

In addition to looking for the killer, police are still searching for a motive as to why someone would kill Thompson.

This is definitely where they need to focus their resources first.

Getting the street wrong is how we know it was him.

Pretty sure that’s Donald Trump—he even discussed his plan to shoot a man on 5th Avenue.

One thing to bear in mind is that, whenever someone accustomed to one platform explores another, they’ll tend to ascribe any differences between the communities to the other platform being an echo chamber of some kind.

Seems like an effective strategy—someone write that down!

Presumably there was something in the training data that caused this pattern. The difficulty is in predicting beforehand what the exact effect of changes to the training data will be.

Is it a simple error that OpenAI has yet to address

Since even their own creators can’t understand or control LLMs at that level of granularity, that seems to go without saying. Although calling it an “error” implies that there’s some criterion for defining correct behavior, which no one has yet agreed on.

or has someone named David Mayer taken steps to remove his digital footprint

Sure—someone gained a level of control over ChatGPT beyond that of its own developers, and used that power to prevent it from inventing gossip about himself. (ChatGPT output isn’t even a digital footprint, it’s a digital hallucination.)

A quick Google search of the name leads to results about British adventurer and environmentalist David Mayer de Rothschild…

Oh, FFS.

Wild boars, on the other hand, are a serious problem in Japan.

I learned that from watching Princess Mononoke.
