  • Not at all. The only similarity is that LLMs work with text, and the document formats can also represent text.

    Each format (E.g pdf, json, excel) has a defined standard, so all you have to do to change between each other is to map one format’s fields to the others. You don’t need (and won’t get good results) from having an LLM produce the new format from scratch.

    What he’s asking is the equivalent of asking if there’s an LLM made specifically for solving arithmetic problems. Why would you try to solve addition using an LLM?







  • Soviet Union General Secretary Joseph Stalin broke the Non-Intervention Agreement and League of Nations embargo by providing material assistance to the Republican forces, becoming their only source of major weapons.

    From August 1936 onward, over one ship per day arrived at Spain’s Mediterranean ports with Russian aid: munitions, rifles, machine guns, hand grenades, artillery, trucks, Soviet agents, technicians, instructors, and propagandists.





  • If you’re interested in card games check the events of your local game shops (LGS). They’ll probably have weekly meets for at least one TCG.

    I play some MtG and highly recommend it. The community has shifted in the last years and is mostly supportive of proxies, meaning printing your own cards instead of buying them. Most people are ok with them in Commander, the 4-player free for all casual format which has become the most popular one.

    Competitive 1v1 formats can get expensive quickly, and I haven’t bothered with them. There’s however Pauper, playing only with cards of common rarity. Meta decks cost 50$ there. From what I’ve heard from my LGS, its community is also welcoming, with players bringing in extra decks to loan to newbies.







  • English is not my native language, but I think there’s a valid distinction between systemic (an institution being racist) and non-systemic racism (an individual or individual entity being racist)

    If this was an American company doing this in another country, wouldn’t we be calling this racist? I understand that there can be no systemic violence against white people in the US, but there can be discrimination (as you call it) against them. Also, like another commenter mentioned, what if other people (e.g black people) were discriminated against with this policy? Would you then call it racist instead of “just” discriminatory?

    It doesn’t seem a meaningful distinction to make in this case, at least to me.
