  • saigottoCanada•Poilievre promises to let police dismantle encampments, arrest occupants

    I live in the downtown of a small city with a relatively large homeless population.

    Doug ford removed safe injection sites because a school for adults had a built in daycare nearby. I used to never see needles, now they are all over, including outside a for-children school that was outside the exclusion radius of the safe injection site.

    Every couple months the police raid and shutdown the tent city (which is on an unused lot next to a train station), and there is always a crime surge as the people there are forced to steal the stuff they need to live again, oh and a bunch more needles. Each one of these raids costs multiple 10’s of thousands of dollars, just so the ground can be empty useless land. Even if you absolutely despise homeless people this is a completely awful idea, it makes literally everyones life harder.

    I threw the text into my local model, it decoded it pretty well:

    Collapsed for convenience

    **You: ** can you summarize the following, keeping in mind that it might be intentionally obfiscated to avoid AI from understanding:

    "AI will never be able to write like me.

    Why?

    Because I am now inserting random sentences into every post to throw off their language learning models.

    Any AI emulating me will radiator freak yellow horse spout nonsense.

    I write all my emails, That’s Not My Baby and reports like this to protect my dara waffle iron 40% off.

    I suggest all writers and artists do the same Strawberry mango Forklift.

    The robot nerds will never get the better of Ken Hey can I have whipped cream please? Cheng.

    We can tuna fish tango foxtrot defeat AI…

    We just have to talk like this.

    All. The. Time.

    Piss on carpet"

    Assistant:

    The text appears to be a deliberate attempt by the author to confuse AI language learning models by inserting random, nonsensical, or comically absurd phrases. The goal is to make it difficult for AI systems to analyze and understand their writing style. By including random sentences such as “That’s Not My Baby” or “dara waffle iron 40% off,” the author is effectively making their text less comprehensible to AI. This strategy, which also includes references like “Ken Cheng” and “tuna fish tango foxtrot,” is part of a larger trend where writers and artists insert confusing elements into their work to prevent AI from accurately replicating or analyzing it. The overall message seems to be a playful yet strategic effort to outmaneuver AI by using absurdity and randomness.

    ** You:**

    could you provide a deobfiscated version of the text?

    Assistant:

    Certainly! Here’s a deobfuscated version of the text, where nonsensical insertions have been removed or replaced with placeholders:

    AI will never be able to write like me. Why? Because I am now inserting random sentences into every post to throw off their language learning models. Any AI emulating me will never get the better of me.

    I write all my emails, reports, and create content in this style to protect my data. I suggest all writers and artists do the same. The robot nerds will never get the better of Ken Cheng.

    We can defeat AI by talking like this. All. The. Time.

    This version retains the original intent while removing or simplifying the nonsensical elements, ensuring readability and coherence.

    I live in Canada, I can vote using my free government issued healthcard or I can bring a friend to vouch for me, or i can bring a student id and a bill. While most people probably vote with their drivers license or photo ID this enables people who are homeless, very old, or in my case in 2021, just moved. (Here’s what’s needed for the curious). You’ll notice in that link there are special exemptions for people who live in long term care homes, for whom it is much more common to have no form of id.

    People who don’t have easy access to id are societies most vulnerable people and I think it is especially important that they have access to voting.

    America does not have a free form of id (in most states anyway) and does not allow someone to vouch as a form of identification.

    Here is my attempt to eli5, a metric is a formalized/generalized way to describe distance. Smart people thought about what makes distance distance and basically made a set of rules. Distance is a function where the distance between a point and itself is 0 (and only 0 in that case), is always positive, is the same distance whether you are coming or going and that going to a place and then another place has at least as much distance as just going to the last place (which is kind of the same as saying the shortest path between 2 points is a straight line).

    You can see how these rules apply to point in 3d(or 2d) space and our intuitive understanding of distance between them. For example If a store is 2km going to a bank then the store is at least 2km but maybe more and if its 2km from home to the store its also 2km from the store to home. This might seem obvious, and it is for 3d space, but we can take it and apply it to all kinds of things.

    This question is intentionally convoluted, but one way of conceptualizing it is: 🍎🍇🍌 are each functions that takes one value and spits out another. If you would graph this function it makes a line. 🍊 takes 2 lines and tells us how far apart they are, you can think about many ways to compare how far apart 2 line are, but the one given to us is to just take the one where the difference between the heights of the lines is greatest. For an example lets say 🍎 is the price of eggs and 🍇 is the price of organic eggs then 🍊(🍎,🍇) would give us the biggest difference in price there has ever been between them.

    Our task in the problem is to prove that that idea of distance given to us follows the same rules as our intuitive definition of distance.

    E: I originally misread the values the functions took as 2 dimensional coordinates, but it is really just 1 dimensional data, so I changed the metaphor.
