I assume they're using a more candid definition where they're not counting all the countries a company may be based, but rather the primary country they're based in. I don't think they're trying to flex this as a la

There's a comment on the GitHub thread which also mentions pinning rsync version would be a bad idea. Many of the people affected by reversions are those with workflows vulnerable to the prior CVEs.

I don't actually see much evidence the usage of AI here was an issue. I think you can obviously identify areas where the code isn't perfect. I'd blame this slightly on human prompting, slightly on AI. But I'm not a sure

Can you tell me any of the bugs? All claims I have seen so far of people being affected by bugs seem deeply implausible. The current ones I see are: * Can't build on Linux < 5.6. But people aren't complaining strongly about th

Yes, the actual issues seem to be: * People with linux < 5.6 can't build this from GitHub. This to me seems like a fairly minor regression: people using maintained versions of 5.6 (mostly extended security) will have distro maintain

Many of these results don't rely on repeatedly calling Lean. You have no clue what you're talking about. > Just look at the donors of Renaissance Misanthropy. If you're actually interested, who funds each project is listed

This is getting insane. You have no evidence for your initial claims and didn't respond to a thing I said, and are now claiming using AI for education is "child abuse". Please get help.

Is your justification in dismissing Fields medalists that they are impressed by funding? Not even receiving it (I assume you say this because Tao is not funded by AI for Math, but rather an advisor for it)? Not only would it be a leap to

Are we back to magic water and magic soil? Does the energy have some morality attached to it? The emissions per kWh of energy used in providing internet downloads probably is similar to that per kWh of energy used for washing clothes.

I have to tell you something: there is consumer demand for AI.

Unless they mean another "f word", the f word was used in Apollo 10. It's just that the transcripts change it to "freaking": > Oh, shit' What they did, they made it a two - Ain't this smart' Ain&#x

Have you read the DPA? How did you come to your inclusions on its intent? How do you think Biden stretched the definition here? There is nothing in the DPA implying companies it is applied to can't be acting in a hostile manner, or tha

Are you reading things before agreeing with them? Or thinking about them? It doesn't seem obvious these things are contradictory at all. That Politico reports so doesn't make it the case. It is clear that the DPA can be invoked fo

I have agreed tariffs will have an effect, but I'm not being myopic. Lot costs, builder profits, indirect labour (commissioning, financial and legal affairs, advertising) all are far less affected by tariffs. Machine costs could make u

by newtonsmethod 8mo ago
I agree with you, they'll probably worsen the effect, and I assume this is maybe 5% in the long run from all these tariffs (if they're not cancelled).

The claim they went into effect January 1 simply does not seem true. The finished products tariff was delayed: https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/01/business/trump-furniture-... For unfinished lumber, I don

I agree with the first half of what you posted, but immediately jumping to blaming tariffs in your last paragraph seems weak (and a slight attempt at a gotcha). Concrete, gypsum and steel are primarily domestically produced. Similar goes fo

A nonpartisan newspaper could also condemn or blame a political party for an action. But if all of its posts were supportive of one administration, it would no longer be partisan. You can just look through the old white house accounts. For

I don't think the hatch act is supposed to prevent the use of the White House account for political purposes. It seems like basically every administration with an X account has done this, e.g.: https://x.com/WhiteHouse4

Neon has updated their pricing plans to be usage based. Their free tier has decreased to offering a maximum of 50 compute hours per project (down from 190), but now offers a total 500 compute hours across up to 10 projects (rather than 190)

I think the article is highly exaggerating Starbuck's role at meta, and serves more of a role in being polemical. The WSJ have themselves reported on it: https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta-robby-starbuck-ai-laws

For a more charitable interpretation: the pinknews is a source that regularly produces low quality, poorly fact-checked and polemical content, and is to me on the same level as the daily mail. The article here seems somewhat polemical, and

Even if you think a lot of the content captured by the ban should be banned, I don't think age restriction mechanisms should be put on it. Talks around sexuality, the mere mention of certain crimes and unrest are being banned by social

Netflix in fact works better on a VPN for me . Maybe they made it that way.

The energy use by AI probably is just as, if not more, carbon intensive, but the article never says that. It talks about the energy use of the general data center. > The carbon intensity of electricity used by data centers was 48% higher

I agree, the effects of fluoride probably aren't in the top 5 things to be concerned about (although perhaps they are from a political perspective, with it becoming such a strong topic of debate for a variety of reasons). But do you as

by newtonsmethod 1y ago
The issue is that putting fluoride in the water isn't really "treating" the water. It's in essence acting a medication (see my paragraph below for a justification of this), to the benefit of people's teeth. As far a
