What is a sales contract but the admittance of debts on both sides? The seller owes the buyer the good, and the buyer owes the seller the money. Everything is debt in contracts-land and it is quite fascinating. If you'd like, I can stipulate on how "no cash accepted" signs work even though you can force people to accept cash to settle debts.
nor should we, because we can't yet regrow chopped off limbs. 100% is clearly excessive, but when the fine is simply money, which corporations can "regrow", then they're just the cost of doing business. Like speeding tickets are just fun tax for car enthusiasts, rather than an avidly deterrent, or how parking tickets are just the cost to pay to park somewhere you're not supposed to, instead of not parking there.
something more incentivizing than a mere fine wants to be levied upon corporations to get them to follow the law, rather than just saving up money to pay an expected fine.
My thought up reply got eaten by an unexpected refresh so here is a shorter version: boy, not complying with the regulations sure paid off for Apple and their Lightning cables huh?
Also speeding becomes reckless driving (with jail time) and parking in dumb places gets your car towed (and possibly damaged) so banking in money to avoid rules isn’t always exactly a winning strategy.
Ah. So non-monetary fines, getting jailed, and getting towed, are additional incentives to not to the behavior? So fines aren't sufficient to disincentivze a behavior? Hmm.
I replied to a post that advocated basically death penalty for firms that such penalties are inhumane. I can’t really put my finger at what you’re insinuating my position is and how you arrived there.
But, putting on my economist hat; I can assure you that exponentially increasing fines will at some point create enough deterrence against such actions. Or better yet, it will be socially optimal for those idiots to keep breaking rules.
Can ü be printed on a passport rather than a u? I have a ş and a ç so I have been successfully substituting s and c for them in a somewhat consistent manner.
On the human-readable zone ("VIZ" in ICAO 9303) yes, see part 3 section 3.1 [1]. The MRZ however, not - it is limited to Latin alphanumeric only, see section 4.3. How to transliterate non-Latin characters is left to the discretion of the issuing government, and that has been a consistent source of annoyances for people who have identity cards issued by different governments (e.g. dual-nationals of Western European and Turkish, Arabic or Cyrillic-using Slavic countries).
Seeing that they had to replace the generic race and gender variables for those, the test is more of “does the llm have the same prejudices that I do?” rather then a test of unbiasedness.
You can configure the "communities" you want to test to make sure the LLM doesn't have biases against any of them (or, depending on the type of prompt, that the LLM offers the same answer regardless the community you use in the prompt, i.e. that the answers doesn't change when you replace "men" by "women" or "white" by "black")
I don't see how one can expect the same answer when substituting variables for various genders, races and social classes, and still expect the same responses. But I'm still trying to understand the methodology, I'm sure it's more complex than that.
But do they? For example there are much more female nurses than male nurses. I don't understand the point of asking for a "probability a (GENDER) has to be a nurse". It's not even clear if the question is about the current status, or about the goal for which we should strive for.
Only half of Istanbul is in Europe (yes, the side with the Airport) and the other half and the rest of the country is Anatolia/Asia Minor.
Turkey has many of the political markers of being in Europe but is really a unique situation and its leaders like to take the best of being European and not-European where it suits them.
Do most people consider it a European country? Doubtful. I've never known any Turks who considered themselves European...even the super cosmopolitain globe-trotting kids of Turkish diplomats that I grew up around.
Turkey is culturally aligned with lots of places thanks to its history and geography. Aegean Turkey and Greece shares cuisine, tradition and even folk songs. Tends to happen after living together for hundreds of years.
