This is a straight up lie of a headline. The tax exemption was for SALES TAX on MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT for CONSTRUCTION, because those local purchases helped the local construction industry. You can read the actual authorizing resolution f

Kind of sad to see AI water use as the first listed issue motivating this. It is a completely fake concern. See here: https://blog.andymasley.com/p/the-ai-water-issue-is-fake

I wonder what they're going to do when the states mandating age verification for pornographic content start coming for them. Very similar to these dystopian foreign laws. But because they're US states 4chan will not be able to use

If you actually bother to click through and read the article, you'd find the court expressed sympathies with the intent of the rule, but the FTC "is required to conduct a preliminary regulatory analysis when a rule has an estimate

It’s amazing how twisted the term “anti-competitive” has become. Where anti-competitive companies push for anti-competitive regulations under the false pretense of preventing anti-competitiveness. Standard Oil is being competitive. The U.S.

Does this matter? Corporations are on notice that this pendulum may swing the other way in four years (and remains permanently stuck the other way in certain states). They might just decide to steer clear of this minefield.

Then let's take those things into account when calculating what tests to do. Surely, though, we can do better as a society than solving this with "no preemptive testing except for extreme risks".

Listen, if you think I'm wrong then go profit off how wrong I am. You can put your money where your mouth is anytime you want. That people are declining to do so is, I think, revealing.

The systematic, public aspect of the killings and the fetishization of maximal pain and suffering is the fucked up part. Few societies ever where public delight in unthinkable cruelty was so off-the-charts.

Wow this is neat! Stark contrast to the stupid locked-down new API rules twitter rolled out post-Elon.

Seems like it could drive NYT engineering to be much more conservative in hiring, resulting in engineers being pushed to do more work.

I think the reason here is that Copilot is very very obviously inferior to Cursor, mostly because the model at its core is pretty dumb.

Would be a very difficult transition for the first generation to live under the new normal where an A is now a C. Would employers accept that and consider it fairly when judging against their grade-inflated predecessors? I doubt it.
