Article says that there is an increase of 40% from 2024 to 2026 for political donations. Interestingly, the NASDAQ over the same time has also grown 40%.

I think the opposite. AI Companies use the term collaborate to increase the trust in the LLM output. I trust the output of colleagues I am collaborating with and have an assumption of some shared responsibility. But if I use a tool like num

I don't think we should assume that there is a universal law of gravity that will automatically swing this pendulum in other direction.

All human-caused fires aren't arson, most of these are usually negligence (source: worked in operations at fire service). Not discounting the risk of arson but I find it is used a lot to distract from conditions making the forests a ti

The immigration policies (or mass-deportations) that Mullvad co-CEO is supporting with political donations cannot be achieved without mass surveillance and secret police. It is really not difficult to draw this line to spot contradiction be

Opus Fast Mode is 30$/150$/M Input/Output cost. Mythos's pricing (from model card) is 25$/125$ Input/Output cost. Based on this I doubt that Mythos pro is too dangerous to release or provides significantly more

Canadian news might've been easier to replace with American news outlets due to the deep ties between the two and the shared language. I doubt this would be the case for Italian news.

I am very skeptical of the argument that companies are competing with each other on market share. There is arguably a lot more competition between AI companies than in most of the sectors of our economy.

I have been using it to learn Chinese along with other standard resources. My reading comprehension has improved a lot after I started to use LLMs to understand sentence structures and grammar.

Data centers can run on closed loop cooling systems which doesn't need continuous water supply. Only bottleneck is Energy supply which the MEA area doesn't lack.

Thanks for correction. I looked up the news and could find reporting that some fragments of a missile did hit kindergarten. Thankfully no kids were there. I'd edit my previous comment but I can't.

Your comment made me realise that while Iran has attacked a dozen countries, they have yet to attack a school or a hospital. Not condoning anyone but shows the priority of both sides.

The fact that percentage of older population increased is a dead giveaway that most young people are migrating (to US most likely) and more akin to exodus. A very similar pattern to Venezuela which saw a similar exodus.

I'd also add that it is easy to underestimate the water usage. Desalination could be viable if it was only for subsistence/drinking. But water use is extensive in every single product/service we use and thing we cconsume. Cos

This is real. I work at one of the big tech and have access to their internal head count breakdowns. The overall headcount is mostly stagnant but the US headcount is decreasing with a corresponding increase in Europe and mostly India based

My first thought was that the sanctions are due to investigations into US presidents (like role of Bush in Second Gulf War or Obama/Clinton's role in Libyan Civil war) but it is due to Israel's PM. It's amazing how US ad

Your analogy is plain wrong. To start with people with inheritances can and do own multiple homes.

Things like these make me more skeptical of any claims that Apple values privacy. Ad tech business is fundamentally at odds with Privacy.

Looked at Shaun Maguire's twitter page and I find it appalling. Maybe I was naive about people in tech being more tolerant (as they both work with and build for diverse people).

As someone who previously worked in US with H1Bs who were making well over half a million, I doubt your statement. I have moved out of the US a few years back though. But regardless, I sincerely hope this policy sticks without any loopholes

Thatcher era privatization has been proven to be epitome of "short term gains for long term pain". Water, Power, Gas and Rail all privatized in a short span of decade and now the future generations will be footing the bill.
