Shilling for nuclear is anti environment because we can get more for less with renewables. We can see straight through you.

Actually, I think CPT invarience means there is a difference. But this only applies to weak-force interactions.

When your starship will run on one anti-matter atom.

Actually, anti-matter factories are possible, but probably not in a strong gravity field surrounded by positive matter. (Also they aren't cheap to power. It takes a lot of power to create mass, and you need to create twice as much as the amount of anti-matter you end up with, even if you get 100% efficiency.)

That's unfair. He didn't improve things (except by closing the strait or Hormuz), but he didn't make things that much worse. We were already increasing the rate of CO2 emission every year.

I suspect a lot of people store that information unencrypted on their computer, so the AI could find it on its own initiative. There may be other ways, but I guess the stupidest one first.

Actually, an AI can't be made legally responsible because current law doesn't recognize it as even a sentient entity, much less a legally responsible one. It's less accountable than a three year old bashing keys at random. But you can also kill it (i.e. the instance you are running) with no accountability.

The company the runs or provides access to the AI, however, is a different matter. But they've got a bunch of fancy lawyers that will argue that it wasn't their fault.

What entity do you believe bears the legal obligations? The AI software? Your local machine? The company that's running the AI? The company that designed the AI? Someone else?

Most of those things can't have legal responsibility. I suppose the companies could, but they've got strong legal departments that will argue otherwise.

We've been making steady (if too-slow) improvements and the actions taken by Trump have erased them. So you can't blame the whole situation on him, but you can certainly place the blame for our reversal on him and his cronies.

You only have to remember that Slashdot does literally nothing to curb willfully abusive moderation, and it will all make sense.

I get modded down by obviously racist mods every day. So yes, it's obvious that AC comments are 99.999% shit, and you're 100% troll.

Free antimatter with every matter

Banks are highly regulated for the rich. Lots of laws to protect them and they are highly enforced.

There are substantially fewer laws to protect you and me. And they are barely enforced. When Republicans are in charge they aren't enforced at all and when Democrats are in charge the banks will drag out the enforcement action until voters inevitably put Republicans back in charge so they can get a slap on the wrist.

You may have noticed a lot of fines against Banks and financial institutions and might be wondering why since the guy in charge of the department of Justice is corrupt as fuck and the supreme Court is even more corrupt. Okay maybe not more corrupt but I mean that's a high bar.

This is the game we play. Voters go back and forth from Democrats to Republicans never actually learning a damn thing. And as I mentioned above Republicans do not enforce laws against anyone who goes after regular people. Democrats do but the court cases take so long to complete that they can just hold out until a republican is in charge of the punishment.

The most famous example is Microsoft antitrust. They just waited till Bush Jr was in charge and settled everything then and they didn't even get a slap on the wrist they got a reward. They gave out tens of millions of dollars of software that cost them nothing because well it's software to schools. Schools who they have been trying to force their software on for decades...

You cannot separate your economic well-being and future from politics but for some reason Americans try to. They try to make trade offs for nonsensical social issues. And I'm not talking about civil rights that's something else.

Found the usual child rape enthusiast proving they're a piece of shit both by supporting child rape and using "tard" as an insult

The problem is not overall capacity. It's that they're all crowding into the same areas. Most places in the US (let alone the world) have nobody building datacentres anywhere near them. They all want to go into the places with not merely cheap power, but cheap property taxes and other incentives. Some places will tax everything, down to the servers themselves, whereas some will only tax the land and the building shell, not even the power interconnects or cooling systems.

When everyone wants to rush into the same place, it overtaxes the local grid; they have to build not just more generation, but power lines, substations, etc. And all of this has to go through permitting. There's no real limit to how much generation can be built, but none of the datacentre operations want to wait, because they're all worried about missing out on the opportunity. Hence the reason that they try to come up with stopgaps, like installing their own generators, or... this approach.

All of the small groups could change their behavior as much as they can afford to and it wouldn't add up to changing the behavior of just one or two of the biggest groups. The individual's power is limited as well, they choose from what's on the menu, they don't determine what's listed. Don't blame the victims.
