That's kind of just semantics, but some things were still being funded, like fucking ICE, so apparently even that rule is optional. Dems should still not have caved. The GOP would have shut the government down for 3 years if the alternative was to let Dems win anything.

Curious how this is playing out in Coronado since Whiskey Pete 🥃 has such a boner to be in the club.
I’m waiting for Bullshit Barbie at her podium to claim “she’s not SEAL Team 6” and start playing semantics.
I don’t think any MAGA pol can touch her career. Zinke has already been called out.

Although possible world semantics has become the standard way to treat modality in contemporary analytic philosophy people like Barbara Vetter have pushed to understand it better in terms that are relevant for us humans in the actual world. I got to sit down with her for Ping Pong Philosophy. Enjoy!
In this episode of Ping Pong Philosophy 🏓, I talk with Barbara Vetter, Professor of Theoretical Philosophy at Freie Universität Berlin and co-director of the Human Abilities Centre for Advanced Studies, about possibility, human abilities, and more!
Barbara Vetter on grounding possibility in the real world, human abilities and more! I EP 6

This might be semantics. But I feel like if you have ever convinced someone to like/dislike something, then they were looking to be convinced. It was less about you and more about their own curiosity

Yeah, the whole "very young kids will logically reason semantics out" for sentence after sentence, page after page, before they can fully read - and that is the best way to learn - blows my mind how that passed the sniff teat. It's hard enough as an adult!

the explicit declaration is the good part imho. coffeescript's semantics in this regard are to handle the issues when a variable isn't so declared, since javascript has this policy of no versioned API or anything of the sort which i think is strange and potentially sinister

I guess it is also a matter of semantics as I'd consider 14 CX races a pretty reduced calendar but that is coming from a CX viewpoint rather than a road viewpoint

What is that “semantic representation?”
There are NO semantics in matrices of tokenized graphemes. Meaning is wholly absent in LLM data, and LLMs have no concept whatsoever of semantics.
Don’t be ridiculous. You’re referring to emergent properties, which are just a product of magical thinking.

Dude, thx for better-saying what I couldn’t, but def don’t argue semantics w/ Deloris Umbridge. Cheers, though

Uhhh no it’s not? They operate precisely on a semantic representation of words, phrases, sentences, etc. The semantics of “what’s being said” are quite literally the reason why they drive so much compute.
Don’t mistake “LLMs can get things incorrect” with “there is no semantic meaning”.

I don't think we are disagreeing here. Just semantics issue I think.

I share this special interest (from the syntax/semantics end) and came to say these things - thanks for the learning on languages of Ireland above! I am especially interested in languages in contact and wow would a pirate ship be an interesting workplace language study!!!

Well… one can construct cases where multiple readings could apply with different semantics. “The lab team refused to work with the gases because they were unionized,” ferex. But in general, yes, reading one’s native language should be mostly deterministic!

I mean, honestly, I'm tired of these conversations boiling down to semantics. cant you just understand we want the good of socialism without the fucking strong man dictator turning it into killing poor people which is literally counter to the entire point of socialism?

Which I guess could be argued as regulating the market, but if it’s doing so then it‘s delegating this responsibility to non-government entities. Suppose point that weaker organised labour means a more liberal labour market- but idk if that’s the same as deregulating it per se? Maybe it’s semantics

And for LLMs “context” is really just a vector graph of tokens with all the semantics stripped out. It’s just graphemic proximity, so I guess it’s doubly appropriate in the saddest possible way.

Administering morphine to someone bleeding to death, alleviates the suffering but doesn't stop them from bleeding to death.
