Whenever you see a post. And remember when you post it shows you your post so you must post after you post.

From description of the Great Old One pact:

The Great Old One might be unaware of your existence or entirely indifferent to you, but the secrets you have learned allow you to draw your magic from it

Patrons can have whatever motivation or lack of motivation the DM wants. I personally like there being some kind of RPing effect. Maybe some task you have to complete, punishment for acting against your patron, slowly eroding sanity. But none of that is necessary.

From my understanding how a body responds to HRT is basically down to luck. Changes can be large, small, fast and slow. The chances of seeing large changes might decrease over time but is probably never zero.

One thing to note is that we are often our worst critics. We see all the things that haven’t changed or things changed so gradually that we never noticed. These changes can be obvious to those around us while we remain blind to them.

The question I would ask is do you want to continue taking HRT? Is it causing you an undue burden or harm? Will stopping make you feel better? Will stopping make you feel worse? These are probably things to discuss with a doctor to help you come to a decision.

Numbers going up does feel nice and a post not gaining any traction can be disappointing.

Nice thing about Lemmy is it is so small that local and global new feeds are actually usable. Even new communities with no subscribers can get plenty of views from those alone.

How are you tracking them to other sites? There’s not really anything that links a user account to an actual person in the data that gets federated.

I’m wondering how that got there. Teenager painting it on the floor and the parents failing to remove it properly? Or something older?

Here’s the goodreads page for it. It looks like it’ll either be extremely good or just fail horribly. I’m definitely going try to read it now.

I believe that’s officially a variant rule. The system itself works fine without a grid. It can be done completely in the theater of the mind.

The grid is just commonly used because it simplifies movement and positioning greatly.

I was kind of thinking something similar. How close would you be willing to physically get to him knowing that at any moment there might be an assassination attempt?

I’m pretty sure it started as a thing where people were posting and saying that they are posting just so they can leave as the only rule of this sub and the r/195 sub (rest in peace) was that you had to post before you leave. And since then people have been shortening it to the point where they just say rule and now it is basically just a joke and is on basically all posts. I’m not certain about this and have no idea why I think it’s true, I might have just made it up and then I started believing it idk.

There is !asktransgender. Those of us who watch the local feed will see it.

There’s also not so many posts in most communities that you need separate spaces to ask questions. So any community related to the question should be fine. !LGBTQ_plus is probably the most general one here.

Awesome book too.

Stop looking inside me. It’s mostly just meat.

NPR reported that a “top concern” is that ChatGPT could use The Times’ content to become a “competitor” by “creating text that answers questions based on the original reporting and writing of the paper’s staff.”

That’s something that can currently be done by a human and is generally considered fair use. All a language model really does is drive the cost of doing that from tens or hundreds of dollars down to pennies.

To defend its AI training models, OpenAI would likely have to claim “fair use” of all the web content the company sucked up to train tools like ChatGPT. In the potential New York Times case, that would mean proving that copying the Times’ content to craft ChatGPT responses would not compete with the Times.

A fair use defense does not have to include noncompetition. That’s just one factor in a fair use defense and the other factors may be enyon their own.

I think it’ll come down to how “the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes” and “the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole;” are interpreted by the courts. Do we judge if a language model by the model itself or by the output itself? Can a model itself be uninfringing and it still be able to potentially produce infringing content?

BiNonBi, 10 months ago

That is not actually one of the criteria for fair use in the US right now. Maybe that’ll change but it’ll take a court case or legislation to do.

BiNonBi, 10 months ago

You are kind of hitting on one of the issues I see. The model and the works created by the model may b considered two separate things. The model itself may not be infringing in of itself. It’s not actually substantially similar to any of the individual training data. I don’t think anyone can point to part of it and say this is a copy of a given work. But the model may be able to create works that are infringing.

I’m going to blame that completely on kbin being weird.

But a Zelenskyy/Ken movie about them getting off the beach and riding horses might be fun. Especially if you can show horn in a “I don’t need a ride” line by Zelenskyy. By the end he realizes he does need a ride, a ride to the front lines.

analysis of individual cases that could take up to two years.

They are already getting ready to drag their feet. The other policies announced here aren’t much better. In particular:

Holders of women’s titles who change their genders to male would see those titles “abolished,” the federation said

There’s no reason for that. What does transitioning have to do with past titles. It all reeks of transphobia.

BiNonBi, 10 months ago

The gendered leagues exist to promote women in chess. They need to do this because women have historically been discriminated against. These new rules feel like they are asking trans women to prove they are oppressed enough to deserve to play in women’s leagues.

Some of the requirements for the change in status is problematic as well.

the National Rating Officer should require from the player sufficient proof of a gender change that complies with their national laws and regulations.

That is a hard requirement to meet in large chunks of the world. Many countries don’t legally recognize gender change so it may be quite literally impossible to comply with “national laws and regulations.” There’s some carve out for asylum and refugee status. But it is possible to be a trans woman in a country, not be able to legally change your gender, and not feel unsafe enough to seek asylum.

I’m reading more on the titles now. So from the actual FIDE document:

If a player holds any of the women titles, but the gender has been changed to a man, the women titles are to be abolished. Those can be renewed if the person changes the gender back to a woman and can prove the ownership of the respective FIDE ID that holds the title. The abolished women title may be transferred into a general title of the same or lower level (e.g., WGM may be transferred into FM, WIM into CM, etc.).

And from what [FIDE titles]en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIDE_titles) are on Wikipedia. It seems there is an underlying misogyny in how women’s titles work. It seems to me the proper solution is to get rid of the separate title requirements.

BiNonBi, 10 months ago

I think women’s leagues have their place still. Or some kind of system to encourage more women into chess. There’s currently 15.7k men with titles and only 4k women with titles. Until those numbers get closer I would want to see some kind of action taken.

If you want to get radical with women’s league you can just have the requirement for them to declare that you are a woman. It can quite literally be a checkbox on a forum when registering. Social pressure will take care of most of the issues. The edge case of men regesterioin bad faith can be handled on a case by case basis.

BiNonBi, 10 months ago

Thank you. It should be fixed. I missed that when I changed from keeping the upper case from the source to using proper case.

Kind of sucks because edits haven’t been federating consistently.

BiNonBi, 10 months ago

Looking from lemmy.blahaj.zone, it looks like those posts didn’t federate. I don’t see them on your profile from here but if I look at your account on your instance I see them.

BiNonBi, 10 months ago

My guess is you posted them while blahaj.zone was down. When lemmy.studio tried to send the post over it timed out and it never tried again.

But that’s only a guess. I would have to actually dig into the federation algorithms and know how exactly lemmy.studio is configured to be sure.

BiNonBi, 10 months ago

Lemmy.world has been getting DDoS’d. I think it has been having more downtime than blahaj.zone.

It’s definitely not your client, Memmy. If it was the posts wouldn’t of made it to lemmy.studio. The issue is somewhere between lemmy.studio and the instances hosting the communities.

BiNonBi, 10 months ago

It’s fixed. It hasn’t federated to kbin. Check lemmy.blahaj.zone for the canonical version.

BiNonBi, 10 months ago

I honestly don’t know how changes federate. Potentially.

It is the issue with a federated model. There is one true version and you don’t know what anyone else sees.
