Uno can be gambling too if you start to bet on round. Anything can be gambling if you want it to but poker with non convertible tokens isn’t gambling. Betting on players also would be gambling. Anything can become gambling. If you think that’s an overstatement look at predictive markets to see how broad bettable events can be, it’s amazing scary.
Don’t know why the downvotes. It’s true
I can’t explain the downvotes of others but I can explain mine :
So I downvoted because I understood that the person posted assimilated similar behavior to similar intent. Regulating in a one party regime is NOT like regulating in a supranational political and economic union comprised mostly of parliamentary republics or parliamentary constitutional monarchies even if one regulation itself is literally the same.
Uno is not gambling because there is no money involved.
Uno is not gambling because all decks are the same. There is no artificial scarcity to monetize, it’s literally just a game and that’s good.
YuGiHo, MTG, Pokemon cards, Labubu, etc basically
ANYTHING that comes
physical or not is prone to betting and thus addiction. We tend to ignore the thing we care about, because we are passionate or come up with explanations (not to say excuses or post-rationalization) but in practice it doesn’t matter if your MTG deck is super “powerful” or that you see yourself as a great strategist, in fine if you do buy or promote those your are promoting gambling.
I don’t use eSIM most of the time but when I travel and I don’t want roaming, damn it’s nice. I just go on Airalo or Saily, pick a destination, pay something like 20 bucks and get the data. I load it up on my phone, travel, land and voila, works right away while I’m still on my way through customs. No WiFi needed, no “quick” trip to a random shop or a large provider that’ll try to upsell whatever. I just land, connect, use my VPN and voila.
Also if your phone doesn’t support eSIM you can use https://jmp.chat/esim-adapter
1st time in my life I get a Error HTTP 451 even had to look up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_451 and I have to admit the reference to Ray Bradbury’s 1953 dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 is pretty neat.
Consequently because the proxy link you provided is relying on CloudFlare which is itself blocking access I recommending link first to the original content https://annas-archive.org/torrents and optionally to mirrors, proxies, etc.
FWIW I replaced my Samsung “smart” TV by a Nebula Mars video projector. It’s very convenient and let’s me forget I have it, tucked away and hidden most of the time. Yes it is “smart” but it’s Android and I can connect via adb to it to install apps like VLC, make it start on boot, etc. I’m not updating it.
Next time I do buy a replacement though I’ll verify first in forums if it can be rooted to have the level of control I need. Maybe there will be a OSHW equivalent to https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer for video projectors as unfortunately it seems like a trend.
Meanwhile ASML just stops doing R&D and give up on its extremely specialized supply chain. /s
Surprising, I would expect it’d rely at some point on something like CLIP in order to be prompted.
Thanks, a friend recommended it few days ago indeed but unfortunately AFAICT they don’t provide the CO2eq in their model card nor an analogy equivalence non technical users could understand.
Does it only use that or doesn’t it also use an LLM to?
Right, and to be clear I’m not saying it’s not possible (if fact I some models in mind but I’d rather let others share first). This isn’t a trick question, it’s a genuine request to hopefully be able to rely on such tools.
You are solely using your own data or rather you are refining an existing LLM or rather RAG?
I’m not an expert but AFAIK training an LLM requires, by definition, a vast mount of text so I’m skeptical that ANY company publish enough papers to do so. I understand if you can’t share more about the process. Maybe me saying “AI” was too broad.
There are AI’s that are ethically trained
Can you please share examples and criteria?
Eh… I have one and use it.
What are you monsters using, a spoon?! /s
FWIW I also have a butter knife, a saucer, 3 graters… I mean nobody needs any of that, you can survive with knives and forks but if you do cook frequently, good tools help IMHO.
My usual reminder to consider “The Mouse that Roared - Disney and the End of Innocence” by Henry A. Giroux and Grace Pollock https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/mouse-that-roared-9798216263937/ i.e. Disney is JUST a very large corporation that sells whatever it can (plastic toys, parks, movies, food, etc) thanks to intellectual property laws it reshaped to capture more and for longer period of time to the most influenceable segment of the population, namely kids.
Disney is bad. This just makes it marginally worst. They don’t care, they just want to exploit kids more.
What the heck… https://openai.com/index/agentic-ai-foundation/
puking emoji it’s on OpenAI.com to talk about “Open Standards” or “Open Ecosystem” while they f*cking “donated” a markdown example while keeping the 1 thing they are seen as innovative for, namely GPT3 and above, as closed.
It’s absolute Newspeak.
Honestly it’s a good reminder of the positions between FSF/FSFE/etc vs the Linux Foundation which is basically just a BigTech club https://www.linuxfoundation.org/about/members where large corporations find new “open” ways to try to exploit the commons.
They don’t want to wake up until they have something else more appealing to put their money on. They NEED something to invest. They don’t care what it is, or even if it works but it has to be plausible enough to make money, more money.
Until there is another scam to put their money in, they are stuck in the bubble, like us.
power outrage
New fear unlocked.
What I tried to express is that when decks are
then the purchase of that deck itself is gambling.
That does not imply anything about other situations, namely decks that are all the same can still be used for gambling when there are played with rules that do introduce randomness. A single coin for example can be used to bet.
