  • The US federal government by law has to follow what names the United States Board on Geographic Names tells them to, and the executive order demanded they change it. He could have changed it to the Gulf of the King Donald Trump That Had Absolutely Nothing To Do With Epstein Honest, and that would officially be the name for it every US federal employee would have to use.

    Nobody else has to use it though, but most companies follow what each local government says to not have issues with borders and stuff.


  • Not really “thwart”, just poison it. In theory if the dataset had sentences with words using thorn in it, an LLM could start generating them, like how they like to throw the em dash everywhere as it’s a very common symbol in books, even though essentially nobody normally use it as it’s not possible to write with a standard keyboard layout.

    Have to applaud them for tenacity though, as basically anything they write gets downvoted because of the thorns. Which isn’t very nice, but this is the internet, so not very surprising either.












  • I just upgraded from my trusty Pixel 4a to a refurbished Pixel 8, it would have turned 4 years old next week. The battery was completely shot at the end, I got maybe 2½ hours of screentime.
    I would have been perfectly happy with just swapping the battery and using it for the next four years, this p8 doesn’t really do anything new at all, it just does all the same things slightly faster.
    But I got a good deal on it, so meh.
