..physical assault or shoving of one’s own children damn. I feel like ideally the police or CPS should be called. Forfeiting the game seems like a mild consequence.

Yeah, its a bit like a medical test that promises to detect cancer 100% of the time, but actually just says everyone has cancer. To be useful, information doesn't just have to have a good false negative rate, it also has to have a goo

Traditionally you cared alot about internet connectivity and latency to your customer base. I imagine Texas comes out a lot better on that front. That probably matters a lot less for AI.

Does it really matter? You really only need to run it once.

out of curiosity, would something like this hurt a human? I assume the sound waves must be pretty powerful to put out a fire.

We are getting a bit nit picky here, but formally it has all sorts of de jure powers (via the security council), just de facto not really. But from a practical perspective you are mostly right, although i think its important not to underest

Well, a bunch of people on the world stage thought it would score good political points (and/or they thought opposing it would make them look bad with no upside because its a non binding vote). That doesn't mean the people who mak

I feel like people are making more of a fuss about this then it is. The UNGA isn't a body that controls what maps its member states use. They can make the recommendation of course, but it has yet to be seen if anyone follows it.

Screens are still 2D objects requiring projections.

UNGA votes are non binding symbolic grandstanding. This vote does not mean the world agreed to it. its more like the world agreed to think about it. Will countries actually change their map projections? That has yet to be seen. Maybe they w

Do we even export any dairy to the US? I'd assume most of the auto stuff is parts not complete product, so banning that will probably just make everything more expensive for everyone.

No, people who believe things without evidence because it fits their personal narrative are consiracy theorists. The thing that makes someone not a conspiracy theorist is evidence.

If it was run by the CIA or russian intelligence, they wouldn't have burned their asset with petty grudges.

i think the biggest tell is that LLMs talk like a politician. They blather on while beating around the bush. It takes 5 paragraphs to convey one sentence of information. I dont care about llm use on any ideological grounds, or believe its a

malvertising is really a method of delivering exploits, but there is no reason to think its relavent to this situation. For non technical users, scam adverts are probably the biggest threat. So i agree ubo is an important security technolog

People who feel lost and disaffected would rather see the whole thing burn down than continue with the status quo even if it is objectively worse for them. And its clearly been building for a while. Trump and Obama are about as opposite as

Seems unlikely given claude would not really be effective for this type of problem.
