I didn't know either, but I do know what JPEG is, and I have a pretty good idea about what XL might mean, so I was able to suss out that it might be a new and improved lossy-compressed image format.

Of course, approaching the problem rationally like that doesn't provide me an opportunity to make childish insults, but that's just one of the downsides of being a grown-up that I'll have to live with.

The genocide of the midianites?

If Putin keeps sending drones into Poland then NATO is going to send troops all right... Into Russia.

It's true that NATO is there to contain Russia. If only Russia wasn't a continual aggressor, it wouldn't be necessary.

The big spammers in Russia are government sponsored, and the government hates competition.

"The real problem with modern nuclear is its just expensive and extremely complicated to get running compared with the cheaper energy from solar, wind, etc. But. the Environmental dangers? We solved that issue decades ago."

Who is "we" here? Certainly not a failing country that will absolutely cut every corner.

They transferred a different fab. Your citation also doesn't show they actually built the fab in question. Got one that does?

"AI can deliver turnaround times that humans can't.
That military operation that hit the headlines this morning?"

The one that blew up a bunch of little girls? Maybe turnaround time isn't the most important goal.

Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to allude to. I have sympathy for them due to that. I feel bad I'm not doing more, but I also don't want to be trafficked or go before a firing squad

"They had a chance to be the open weights model company"

Exactly what does that get you?

Facts are trolling on Nazi slashdot

That was a ruling on a search which required a warrant, and the ruling states that the district court itself found that the warrant was invalid as it violated the suspect's fourth amendment rights. It would seem to apply except that these are warrantless requests. It also specifically references Carpenter v. United States' determination that such a request as in Chatrie is able to look into the past, which makes possible surveillance which was formerly impossible and was therefore unexpected when the relevant laws were written, but the flock requests we're discussing are for recent information. It remains to be seen whether this court would apply the same logic to these similar but different specific uses.

Defrost? They're not frost free? What year is it? It's not like they're deep freezes.

That's certainly what Putin said, but it's not clear why you would believe it when they went into Ukraine with military vehicles, not with a brass band and a parade, unless... have you suffered some major head injury recently?

So did you miss the part where after Deutsche bank dropped Trump, his kids told us they were doing all their banking with Russia? Trump was broke, all of his properties were fully leveraged, then Putin rode in on a white horse (and no shirt) and saved his bacon.

Every time someone who knows something disagrees with Putin, they're defenestrated. This results in a lot of window-based loss of intelligence, and the rest learning not to offer any. This is not really a new mode of operation, it being cheaper to open a window than to pay for poison, but seems to have ticked up in recent decades.
