The GPUs they're talking about don't have video outputs, and I think many of them aren't even PCIe. Even at pennies on the dollar, they'll still be hundreds of dollars, so way easier just to get a consumer card.

All the past infrastructure bubbles, the companies that inevitably failed at least left some usable infrastructure - rails, pipelines, dark fiber... These guys are going to crash, never pay back their loans, and the acres of datacenter, containers of GPUs, and racks of servers are just going to get recycled. It's such shocking waste that it's hard to comprehend.

There's gripper socks, with non-slip soles.

White women.

The obvious solution to sub-replacement fertility rate is to expand immigration. Not only does that directly increase population, but immigrant families tend to have more children. Somehow, though, the same people screaming about fertility rates are also screaming about immigration. It's almost like they only want one particular kind of baby.

It's really not the publicly disclosed vulnerabilities you need to worry about. Most of those vulnerabilities have existed for years - the recent php thing is supposedly 12 years old. Maybe someone's been out there exploiting it for 12 years.

The people who have sought and exploited vulnerabilities since computers went online don't disclose what they find. They are the people who should be most worried about AI-assisted vulnerability research, because it directly attacks their business model.

Vote in the fucking primaries so you can get better democrats.

They released doorbell video of the incident. Dude's running through the neighborhood, half naked, yelling incoherently. Runs up to the home, pounds on the door, rolls around on the porch, still yelling, something about his girlfriend. Bath salts type of crazy.

"God's plan" is literally whatever is happening right now. Got in a car crash? God's plan. Narrowly missed a car crash? God's plan. Cat wakes you at 6am for breakfast? God's plan. This whole comment? God's plan.

If this happens to multiple CEOs, companies will just implement secret-service style security for the C-suite. Wouldn't even be a rounding error in CEO compensation.

$170M is such small change. According to my local food bank, that's barely enough to feed the entire state of Maine for a year.

Did Trump tell Chevron, or did Chevron tell Trump?

It's almost like being embedded in a profit-motivated information bubble makes you look crazy to outsiders.

Disapproval is a temporary condition, anyway. Soon enough, it'll be illegal (or at least dangerous) to express disapproval, and Trump's numbers will be right up there with Putin and Kim.

One national election every four years is enough for me. I can't even imagine what the campaigns for judges with the power to rewrite the Constitution through creative interpretation would look like, but if they can put Trump in the White House, they could put him on the Supreme Court.

Term limits. Active oversight. Maybe go back to requiring 60+ votes to confirm so the GOP can't shove the Federalist Society hack-of-the-day through with a simple majority.

Lol. You think this court cares what happened in 2013?

This is as close as he's going to get to apologizing for that fuckup. His girl's got her bag packed, waiting on the Uber, and the best he can do is say he really does like her lasagna. Totally won't throw it in her face next time. Even though he used to cook much better than her.

I feel like the big mistake they continue to propagate is failing to distinguish among the uses of AI.

A lot of hype seems to be the generative uses, where AI creates code, images, text, or whatever, or the agentic uses where it supposedly automates some process. Safe uses in that way should involve human review and approval, and if the human spends as much time reviewing as they would creating it in the first place, then there's a productivity loss.

All the positive cases I've heard of use AI like a fancy search engine - look for specific issues in a large code base, look for internal consistency in large document or document sets. That form lets the human shift from reading hundreds or thousands of pages to reading whatever snippets the AI returns. Even if that's a lot of false positives, it's still a big savings over full review. And as long as the AI's false-negative rate is better than the human, it's a net improvement in review.

And, of course, there's the possibility that AI facilitated review allows companies to do review of documents that they would otherwise have ignored as intractable, which would also show up as reduced productivity.

The firings will continue until the numbers look good.

No, that's the way the fediverse is supposed to work. It would be sockpuppeting for both of your accounts, say [email protected] and [email protected], to have a conversation with each other on a third instance, say ![email protected], with which both a & b are federated.

Super excited to see this, from out of state. It sounds real. If it gets coverage, it'll be inspirational across the country.

I know there were some walkouts "Free America" yesterday, but here (Atlanta), it was just a handful of schools and some sign-carriers. Not disruptive enough to push the weekend's snow forecast out of the news.

Don't even get me started on the 1990s. Every new processor generation actually felt faster. Web pages had blinking banners because the creator thought it looked cool, not to advertise a personal information vacuum. There was no better introduction to the public's absolutely awful sense of style. But I went from talking to international friends for $0.50/minute to free, and it was amazing.
