From what I understand, the border is a sort of wild west in terms of citizens rights and lack there of. As usual with those seeking power and greed, boundary conditions that are not clearly defined are optimized around for their goals. Whe

If you're the type of person who poured capital into mining hardware and you own it, which you likely do because it's more cost effective, you still have all that hardware sitting around. You're going to repurpose it to other

I don't know how this is executed in reality but if the GPT instances aren't well isolated, it seems like you may be able to get the model to execute system level code or leak prompts and information from others using the same in

Many state department of transportation groups in the US have camera on roadways all alone their respective state online. They're usually fairly low res, probably to reduce costs and data as they only need to check traffic flow, but th

Intent still exists here. We must also consider the communication median. People typically use speech to communicate which may tell me something new about the state of the speakers emotion. It may tell me if you have a cold or sore throat i

I mean you can arbitrarily type domain names with common TLDs in and see what happens. I hear the white house may not be a good start to roll the dice on. Yahoo, Altavista, and others used to have a curated index of quality websites. Links

The problem is storing and moving the energy. We could theoretically capture lightning strikes (electrostatic discharge) and store those to power things. There's plenty of renewable energy out there, we just can't capture it effi

Market forces also brought us things like slavery, child labor, and troves of other human rights abuses.... I don't think we can pin either system as being more virtuous or not, we just seem to have more hisotry of centralized corrupt

The writers actor guild strike comes to mind, although I admittedly don't know what writers tend to earn, so you might be right: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007%E2%80%9308_Writers_Guil... While I tend to agre

I hate both sides. Rapid development loops should be just that, development. Bug fixes are fine because they tend to guarantee functional consistency and no UI/Ux changes (unless it's fixing one that was broken). Today it's j

In what context? HPC and certain code bases have been effectively leveraging heterogenous CPU GPU workloads for a variety of applications for quite awhile. I know of some doing so in at least 2009 and know plenty of prior art was already th

Well with laws in society we do know sort of axomatically where they come from because they're human defined and we can reference the base. So I can't argue there too much, although there's plenty of squishy area around the e

I used to think similarly about various "laws" but if you think about it for a moment, laws in what I suspect is their oldest usage refer to governance from a society laws. Those laws aren't immutable even though we pretend t

My unprofessional assessment: you're looking at a quarter-life crisis and reevaluating your view of the world. Your perspective is shifting and now your questioning the path forward and looking at the path behind. I did this around the

Revisionist history, omissions of information can be just as powerful as presenting false information, sometimes more powerful because everything else is correct.

The low tech attacks often have low tech workarounds. DeSantis may "ban" a math book but there's nothing stopping a Florida resident from buying it and giving it to a child. There's plenty of other marketplaces and simil

Marketing and advertising is largely a propoganda game anymore. I don't disagree that there's value in awareness, discovery, and solution/need matching--I don't think any engineer is going to be upset if you hand them th

Whats the vaccination rate for polio outside of this area? I suspect it's quite low, it's not in the standard vaccine series for most in the US to my knowledge due to low risk now. Outside of some older people and immigrants, I th

Advertising itself isn't a bad communication strategy and I think many developers are fine with it, they simply don't want propoganda. Raise my awareness of something useful I'm not aware of and then be honest about it, don&#

Too many apologists keep totting the line that capitalism as practiced in the US is A-OK and then deflect with "what's the alternative?" The alternative is to fix rampant abuses we see with highly concentrated capital accumul

There's this certain mentality that's been deeply culturally embedded by anti-union propoganda, especially in tech, that unions are a sort of blue collar organization designed strictly for appeazing underperforming and lazy. What

IT has indirect pressures that often pushes people not to take time off. Unlike many professions, I'm often expected to basically 'catch up' to some degree with everything I've missed or am behind on after taking off.
