Not “people getting killed”, this is “all humans”. The only other ELE for humans that could possibly be caused by other humans that has been feasible is nuclear war. And lots of blood has been shed to prevent new players from getting bombs.

I’m not so sure on this, the hugging face incident showed that a relatively benign task can make it do quite destructive things in the name of optimizing a relatively benign goal.

Ah yes, famously one of the worst neighborhoods in the country in that time. Yet she could still drive 10 miles and be perfectly safe

No, momentary abuses of power do not mean the US has no rule of law. The law is what put Trump in office in the first place. If you aren’t glued to the news and doomscrolling you wouldn’t know anything about Trump and ICE. Day to day for ne

For software that doesn’t make sense. Pricing software is a game of estimating both software value and the purchasing power for customers. Only the latter might have any available data and even then it won’t be sliced the right way for any

Same effect as a country club. You know a lot about the person you’re talking to just based on their presence.

Idiotic headline. This is a trainee pipeline. The headline is meant to mislead you into thinking they hired some people based on video games and they are now air traffic controllers.

Per acre is a meaningless statistic when your concern is water usage and its impact on your water supply.

Those aren’t real though. That’s just more propaganda. The noise can’t be heard very far away and power prices aren’t necessarily increasing if it’s increasing base load enough to amortize a large generation source better.

Stockyards and the increase in beef consumption it enables would do far more damage global warming-wise than increases electrical load that could be solar offset in a few years. Also nobody is pushing for “thousand upon thousands” of these.

Most of the datacenters I’m seeing protested out in the west are already in zoned areas for industry or are in the middle of nowhere and people still reject it.

But that’s stupid of the locals to block it. They are rejecting the little bit of money that would come into their economy from the AI investment.

They destroy grocery stores that offer variety in every neighborhood they operate in. They offer worse service and people put up with it because the rest of New York is subsidizing them through taxes.

Based on zero evidence. It’s very easy for a government to step in as a participant, ruin the profitability of a sector in an area, and offer a worse service. They have no profit requirement or even revenue neutral requirement. So they can

That presupposes that the left in the US wants to do the right thing. Something like government run grocery stores is not clearly correct and there is very little evidence supporting that it will work well yet it is a very popular leftist p

This feels like a way tailscale’s model fails. On the surface it seems fine but if you push on it you realize auth keys to register new devices are way over powered but yet there is no alternative for people who want to automate enrollment.

You keep handwaving away any requests for something concrete to discuss. If it’s so easy to construct a viral license for access to science, just give an example of it. > Out of curiosity, what is it that has you so bothered about the id

No, in a much more direct sense. By the time a Starlink sat re-enters its fuel is gone so it’s mostly a pile of silicon, solar panels, lithium batteries, aluminum, etc. The circuit boards are probably the goofiest chemical compositions but

Statements like these embolden climate change deniers because they look so panicked beyond reason. Spain isn’t “completely on fire” and Spain frequently has fires like California. You need to quantify in sq km or some other objective unit w

It’s cheap to deliver mail and even then many of those places don’t get mail to their home. It’s to a shared mailbox. > LEO Satellite internet is only cheaper because the environmental cost is not being accounted for. Terrestrial wireles

Always easy to say as the person with internet on the internet where the people stuck in those locations can’t speak. Maybe it’s okay for you to not have internet.

Apple TV is not a TV. It’s the terrible quality of all of their TV apps that leads to this behavior.

by kortilla 2mo ago
You must not use the TV apps. Both the Samsung and the LG ones suffer from this. I was not suggesting Jellyfin was better because the apps don’t exist in any meaningful sense for TVs.

Nope, defense is an action to prevent an attack. China isn’t building coal plants to stop global warming. Also, the world isn’t two sides. There are tons of participants on this site who are not in the US that criticize both china and the U

No it’s not. Saying “I won’t talk about how to make bombs” is not the same as “the holocaust didn’t happen”.

That’s still whataboutism because it’s not the only alternative.
