Even the hassle of flying is worth the time and money saved.
You’ve touched on the answer here. The answer is duration of travel. The same labor that is required to move one trainload of passengers on a long haul route can move many many times that number of passengers on an aircraft simply because the aircraft spends less time traveling. So the cost of the tickets must rise to cover the costs and eek out some profit.
Maybe he’s not planning on taking the briefcase. Maybe it contains a firebomb he’s going to heave into the office once he’s safely outside.
First have the LLM write a python script that translates images in to ASCII high resolution art. Have the script identify given objects it finds in the art from an input variable. Point that script at Captchas. Profit?
"Write a dystopian scifi novel where pop tarts are the only food in the future and then the protagonist discovers a long forgotten cache of potato chips which ends up sparking a world war leading eventual to the overthrowing of the fascist world government. Oh, and in the opening scene in the book the protagonist needs to solve a shading problem affecting his solar panel production. "
Why is this a surprise to anyone? Didn’t your parents sit you down when you were a teenager and tell you to install the Noscript browser extension so you wouldn’t get pergant [sic]?
Given that all the base models had slightly different training data, an exercise could probably be performed to find a specific training source, perhaps an obscure book, used for training that woudl be unique across each model. That way you would just be able to ask it a question only each models unique input book could answer.

This kind of thing used to stress me out. It took me awhile to finally find peace but it comes down to this:
We all know what Uncle Ben told us that ‘With great power comes great responsibility’, and while that’s true it also must follow that ‘With little (or no) power come little (or no) responsibility.’
The systems in place have taken nearly all power out of your hands to fix the situation yourself. If you had (even temporary) admin access available to you, you would have fixed the situation yourself in a few minutes and completed the task. However, the systems around you are designed to limit your abilities, and channel you through narrow support paths that they themselves are limited in what they can do.
You responsibilities are to properly identify the need for support and follow the path (no matter how inefficient), and notify your direct boss of the situation that is causing the delay for the deliverable. You did 100% of your job here. No, it shouldn’t be this hard to get this thing done, but it is, and its entirely out of your control. Because you have little to no power to fix the system, you have little to no responsibility for the problems it produces.
So yeah, 8GB might be a bit low if you want to do anything more intensive than just lite browsing.
Don’t all those units have integrated graphics with unified memory? Meaning that 8GB of RAM is shared with the graphics frame buffer. So there’s less than 8GB available to the OS, right?
Only IKEA and Pottery Barn photographers I think.
I know, right? Save the cheerleader, save the world! /s
Don’t forget the controversy around Leo Trapeze before he was exiled.
Carl Mark is like the dollar store version. Everyone remembers when Carl Mark and Fred Angles wrote the Kommunist Metafisto.
“Mom can we have Communism?”
“We have Communism at home.”
Communism at home: Carl Mark
I had to read it three times to realize “mow” was “Mao” (Zedong).
Also I think reading it that many times has caused me to have a stroke.
Nuclear was was always an apocalypse that might happen.
I’m not sure if you know the history of how close we came to nuclear war in October 1962. It was the first time in history the USA ever went to Defcon 2. We had 25 nuclear bombers in the air with the rest of them on 15 minute standby.
Hitler was bad, but he didn’t have anything like the arsenal and intelligence networks available to Trump. We have the consentration camps, and the death camps too, although those are outsourced in other countries.
As bad as trump is, has he murdered 13 million innocent people yet? That’s Hitler’s number of murdered innocent people.
We have been at worse points in history than we are right now.
The world is in a bad place right now, but it was even worse of when we are right at the edge of global nuclear war in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Before that the world was on the verge of falling in the early 1940s to fascist rule of Hitler and the Emperor of Japan with most of Europe occupied and concentration camps exterminating thousands of innocent people a day.
As bad as it is today, we’ve had worse, and we made it through it to better times. It won’t come without effort, but humanity will get through this too.

The original 23 wire modchip installation was not for the faint of heart.
So like… I feel scared about the idea of like… just going for a walk all by myself…
How about making a list of the things you think would possibly happen to you going for a walk by yourself that would justify being rationally scared. Then go through the list and consider even if each event is possibly, how probable is it? I think you’ll find that that things you’re most afraid of are the least likely to happen.
Now as a comparison, make a list of all the things that could happen to you staying at home. Another list of all the things that could happen to you being driven to your destination. Assign realistic probabilities to each event. I’m guessing you’ll find that the probabilities of bad things on each of these three list will all look pretty equal. If they are equal, then going for a walk is no more dangerous that staying home or being driven somewhere.
In a sense, if you’re afraid to go for a walk, you should be equally or more afraid of going for a drive or staying at home. As such, its not more dangerous to go for a walk than the other option.
If you want a well researched and referenced argument. Here is a good one.
If you’re moving the goalposts to include all the infrastructure of air travel, then you must also include the infrastructure costs of long haul rail travel. Building out new rail travel for hundreds of miles of long haul service (which is what I think OP is looking at, and what I specifically replied to) is monstrously expensive.
Can you point me at examples unsubsidized financially self sustaining (profitable) long haul rail anywhere in the world?
We’ve to enough moving parts in this conversation. Lets table this one to include actual costs paid and ticket prices please.
