Trans men tend to be shorter than the average man. Trans women tend to be taller than the average woman. A conference of trans men and trans women will have an extraordinary amount of short men and tall women.

I would recommend blocking either this entire community or just me. I have no intention of censoring myself for you.

That's why STP devices should be available to everyone. Everyone should be able to experience peeing in the French countryside at 7:53 in the morning without having to squat braced against their car.

The fabled Blahaj cuddle pile.

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?

Going off this India traffic police site same as a white curb. High visibility marking the edge of the road.

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

That's exactly why it needs to be something you are willing to explain. It makes their stories better.

If he had a choice between being smart or being poor, he would choose to be smart.

Awesome book too.

A woman has her own value and that value decreases by men looking at her.

I didn't know men had that kind of super power. The ability to decrease value of something just by looking at it. Can we harness this power to decrease home prices?

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.

That's why the step grandfather's plan failed. If he had just left it alone Moki Awa would only be able to build a straight log cabin. But with all the skills gained from attempting to "man the queer" out of them, they are now able build the gayest non-straight log cabin.

License changes that will charge developers based on how many installs their game has instead of how many units sold.

Yes

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.

They'll just keep giving you shots of Ambien until you stop.

That's not how science generally works. It's not up to others to disprove your results. It's up to you to prove results to them.

You generally do this by very carefully explaining what you did and what the results where. Then others can follow your instructions and get the same results.

If they don't get the same results you haven't proven anything.

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]https://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.

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.

Also, why do you assume that I am a rapist by default?

No one did? But you are making a compelling case now.

Running through Google translate and reading the article

An experimental team from Anhui has worked for more than ten hours and is trying to reproduce the results. They updated the latest progress tens of minutes ago. The results will come out in about three days. Perhaps soon, we will be able to witness the gold content of room temperature superconductivity.

It seems they are in the middle of replicating the results. Not that they have already completed replicated the results.

The actual article title is:

The first room-temperature and atmospheric-pressure superconductor has sparked global enthusiasm, and tens of thousands of people are watching the progress of the Chinese team's reappearance

when I translated it.

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.

There is !asktransgender@lemmy.blahaj.zone. 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@lemmy.blahaj.zone is probably the most general one here.

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

Give in to the urge to cuddle everything. Give in to the bi-side.

Yes, why waste so much time trying to prosecute obviously protected expression?

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.

A 1% false positive rate is probably going to be to high to reliability report every positive to the FBI. The rate of actual CSAM is likely to be much lower than this. If it's 1 in 10,000 uploads, you will have 100 false positives and 1 true positive.

Well the problem indicator still works at least.

Sure, let's go with that.

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.

A YouTube channel called Truth and Foundation.

If you want to see how weird it can get look at blightsight. Your consciousness can be blind but your body can still react to visual stimulus.

The Soviet Union/Russia have a habit of sending submarines into Swedish waters.

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.

They are just AC units in reverse. The biggest effect humidity is going to have is on how much condensation is going to form on the exterior radiator. That'll form frost that'll have to be melted in a defrosting cycle. That'll decrease performance and efficacy. Low humidity should keep that to a minimum.

If he had a choice between good option A or bad option B, he would choose good option A.

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.

When do I get to say “bad girl” 😶

My thoughts: Good comment. Plays into sub/bottom play a lot of tranfems are into. Ties into good girl pet play post.

When you have their consent My thoughts: Good response. Consent is the corner stone of all relationships.

Also, why do you assume that I am a rapist by default?

My thoughts: What the hell is this non-sequitur coming from. Why are they so defensive. Have they been creepy in the past and been called a rapist in order to have that be their first response?
