A Riemannian manifold isn't necessarily non-Euclidean, it's just a smooth manifold with a Riemannian metric, which is just sort of a way of defining local geometry in a coherent way. Namely it's a smooth family of inner products on the tangent spaces at each point, where an inner product on the tangent space is sort of a way of comparing any two directions at a point and the smoothly varying part means that for sufficiently close points, the comparison function on their respective tangent spaces is similar.

Anyway, like "manifold" is a formalism intended to capture the idea of a "shape or space," a "Riemannian manifold" is just "a shape or space we can do geometry on."

Feeling the pain for a bit will quickly make you comfortable with the numbness

People are using LLMs to diagnose disease, write prescriptions, deny health care claims, deny loans and grants, write scientific papers, review scientific papers, draft engineering and architectural documents, and talk to their loved ones

Despair

It's possible that whatever prompt enhancement and processing happens around the LLM part of the application addresses this somewhat.

I don't support the change. That's not my point. My point is that if we're going to argue the dev being threatened isn't a victim because he's actively harming privacy, we should be aware that the changes he proposed are not actually harming privacy at all.

Age verification laws: slippery slope. Sure. I agree.

Adding optional age field to systemd userdb: not slippery. Systemd isn't being weaponized as an age verification suite. It's just not happening.

You don't, and you don't have to fill them in with accurate information, so it isn't.

It's mostly not going to be used at all.
