Democrats are not "prioritizing trans athletes". It is Republicans who talk about them all the time, incessently. You are example #1.

With permanent DST we won't get the stories twice a year.

They'll need the money to settle all the resulting lawsuits.

if there's two issues I've found where Red and Blue agree. It's No Flock and No Datacenters.

Me personally, I don't have too many problems with Datacenters outside of where they put them and what they do with them.

1) Put them in Brownfields. In the US there's over 400000+ industrial classified brownfields with somewhere around 5-15 million acres depending on who you ask. Most of these brownfields have access to large amounts of electricity and water and since industries already make a lot of noise most communities next to brownfields will either not notice or care and would welcome any job growth even if it's small long term. Subsidizing datacenters on greenfields just sacrifices more farmland and forest for industrial expansion that will most likely be a brownfield within the next 20-30 years when the speculation money dries up.

2) Ban Mining Datacenters. China Banned them so all of the Yuan billionaires are building them here now. All they are are slot machines that eat wattage instead of money. They serve no constructive purpose and should be banned before they run out of control and waste energy and computing power that could be used for more constructive computing purposes.

If it were open source and someone cared enough to fork it, then presumably there are open licensed contribution to the repo that Siemens won't own the copyright to.

What happens to those? Can they be taken closed source at all?

Don't have to be a profit^w prophet to see that coming.

Paying the publishers, not the authors. Whoever actually wrote it, researched it, invented it, or created it still gets squat.

Just to note, the WSL containerisation approach is horrible for anything I/O intensive. WSL 1 had ELF binaries supported by the kernel and ran natively, this is a far superior approach to WSL 2's containerisation when it comes to raw speed.

I benchmarked this a few months ago and it was between 300%-600% slower on raw disk performance I/O.

IQ measurements keep going up.
Autism diagnoses keep going up.
The price of food keeps going up.
People get a year older every year.

Something fishy is going on.

Are they going to chip you, or control your brain by more direct means?

Yes, but think how great the fire sale is going to be for everyone else.

Well, some people think AI will extinctify us within four years, whereas if the IRGC gets nukes they'll figure out like everyone else that they can't actually use them except in self defense without getting erased, so the only difference will be that we won't be able to try crush them anymore.

Yes, tell us how easy the current effort is turning out to be. Someone grabbed a tiger by the tail and can neither subdue it nor let go. The IRGC is probably laughing its ass off.

It's not real. It's not intelligent. It's a probability matrix - a very good one, but that's what it is. When people say they 'convinced it', what actually happened was they started using language recognisable in a subset of the model's training data and the model responded using probability with data from that same subset as it's statistically closer.

In this case, they used language which is the kind floating around with people negative to AI, and so the AI constructed a sentence using data in their "negative to AI" section. Nobody got convinced of anything. It's very impressive, but it's 'just' a probability matrix.

I was listening to this on BBC news on my commute this morning (in the UK). They said it attacked a Medicare site, which is the Australian national health system. My immediate thought was "ah, so someone in the US asked it to do something with Medicare records and forgot to limit it to just the US then". So off the AI trots to do exactly what it was asked to do - "collect records on Medicare', without any regard to geography at all. Hence this 'hack'.

I mean, I'm just guessing so that opinion is worth what you just paid for it. It does sound plausible to me though.

The estimates of the number of children who died due to cuts in USAID is in the tens of thousands. Still terrible, but you don't serve any constructive purpose by exaggerating by several orders of magnitude.
