Sure If that happens. But it may also not. Which is actually usually the case. Sure, it’s not 100% safe, but it is safer.

How can you be sure it’s one line of code? What if there are several codepaths, and venvs are activated in different places? And in any case, even if there is only one conditional needed, that is still one branch more than necessary to test.

Your symlink example does not make sense. There is someting that is changing. In fact, it may even be the opposite: if you need to use file A in s container, and file B otherwise, it may make perfect sense to symlink the correct file to C, so thst your code does not need to care about it.

Upgrading the base image does not imply updating your python, and even updating your python does not imply updating your python packages (except for the standard libraries, of course).

But then it’s easy to just check an environment variable and skip, if inside Docker.

How is forcing your script to be Docker-aware simpler than just always creating a venv?

It’s a bit unclear to me what you refer to with “their argument”. What argument exactly?

Is Yubico actually claiming it is more secure by not being open source?

Whether it’s a good thing or not depends entirely on your philosophical views. There is no objectively correct answer, and which arguments may convince someone very much depends on the values and perspectives of the person you are trying to convince.

It seems like a quite pointless discussion since you both seem to have already decided your minds.

They don’t accept your sources? Why? If they really are valid and they just cherry-pick sources, then there is no way of convincing them.

On the other hand, you also just seem to dismiss their counterarguments without much thought. If they can give a counterargument for your every argument, then maybe your arguments actually aren’t good?

there is no way to do the equivalent of banning armor piercing rounds with an LLM or making sure a gun is detectable by metal detectors - because as I said it is non-deterministic. You can’t inject programmatic controls.

Of course you can. Why would you not, just because it is non-deterministic? Non-determinism does not mean complete randomness and lack of control, that is a common misconception.

Again, obviously you can’t teach an LLM about morals, but you can reduce the likelyhood of producing immoral content in many ways. Of course it won’t be perfect, and of course it may limit the usefulness in some cases, but that is the case also today in many situations that don’t involve AI, e.g. some people complain they “can not talk about certain things without getting cancelled by overly eager SJWs”. Society already acts as a morality filter. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Free-speech maximslists exist, but are a minority.

Well, I, and most lawmakers in the world, disagree with you then. Those restrictions certainly make e.g killing humans harder (generally considered an immoral activity) while not affecting e.g. hunting (generally considered a moral activity).

So what possible morality can you build into the gun to prevent immoral use?

You can’t build morality into it, as I said. You can build functionality into it that makes immmoral use harder.

I can e.g.

• limit the rounds per minute that can be fired
• limit the type of ammunition that can be used
• make it easier to determine which weapon was used to fire a shot
• make it easier to detect the weapon before it is used
• etc. etc.

Society considers e.g hunting a moral use of weapons, while killing people usually isn’t.

So banning ceramic, unmarked, silenced, full-automatic weapons firing armor-piercing bullets can certainly be an effective way of reducing the immoral use of a weapon.

While an LLM itself has no concept of morality, it’s certainly possible to at least partially inject/enforce some morality when working with them, just like any other tool. Why wouldn’t people expect that?

Consider guns: while they have no concept of morality, we still apply certain restrictions to them to make using them in an immoral way harder. Does it work perfectly? No. Should we abandon all rules and regulations because of that? Also no.

But isn’t it obvious that if a presidential candidate promises some legislation, that it is contingent on the legislative branch?

Didn’t pursue codification into law in his first hundred days j

As (again) a non-american, doesn’t that require both chambers to support the legislation?

I’m not even american, so I’m not sure what you arw on about right now. All I asked was how Roe v. Wade being repealed was Biden’s fault, and the answer apparently is that he did not pack the court.

How genocide fits into Roe v. Wade, or how callling me names somehow helps I’m still unsure of.

Never let it be forgotten that Roe v. Wade was struck down during a Democrat administration

Ok, but what does that have to do with said denocrat administration? What say did they have in the matter? What could they have done to change the outcome?

They can, and are being made. E.g. the state of accessibility on Gome.

Yes, and what I’m saying is that it would be expensive compared to not having to do it.

Doing OCR in a very specific format, in a small specific area, using a set of only 9 characters, and having a list of all possible results, is not really the same problem at all.

How many billion times do you generally do that, and how is battery life after?
