NYC has Mamdani, who is a very progressive populist mayor, and a longtime (active) supporter of the taxi drivers union. There is close to zero chance it gets approval in NYC before 2030. I'd be totally floored if he goes against the un

The upper ranks of the US military is absolutely littered with guys who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Its the difference between having a CEO who was a competent engineer for years before becoming the CEO, and having a CEO who went to bus

China, in it's modern incarnation, and every living member of it's military, has never seen a single real battle. Nothing. No one has any rank that has bearing on any kind of combat. Just decades of self-congratulatory war games.

The discussion around Ad blocking is, while definitely a needed discussion, is so rife with confusion, dishonesty and and self-serving ideology that we are going to kill the internet while being absolutely 100% sure that never giving compen

A lot of people want to see AI fail/collapse. A lot of publications pay attention to that. A lot of people love reading things (often only reading things) that make then feel right/correct/justified. A lot of publications liv

The labeling and disclosure is pretty much solved. The killer and the cost monster is the handling. That's why you see that "Processed in a facility that also processes XYZ" label on some foods. I had an old coworker with a s

Considering Germany wiffed on the tech boom, and still relies on the same industry as 50 years ago, I'm not sure if you are gesturing that 10% is way too small or way to large. Their three largest exports are all very energy intensive

This is a dumb conversation because the landscape of the discussion is one where the costs increase exponentially as the disability being serviced becomes more rare, and there isn't an objectively correct answer.

But will it by ciphered by the manufacturer? Tons of products already have all manner of information printed on them, but only the manufacturer can readily decrypt it.

This is why it's dumb when inferencing with a model to ask "...and cite all sources". Total waste of time and likely to make the response worse. BUT On models with web search, they can scan the sources in context, and those a

It's dumb that private buyers can buy data profiles but the government can not. It leaves a million loop-holes for government to backdoor a suspects data. It's also going to piss off almost all of society if their data cannot be m

That top paragraph is a masterclass in modern media standards. Tell the truth will hiding facts so your readers can be reassured that they are in fact smart and correct, while you never have to tell a lie.

This has been discussed heavily for the better part of 15 years now, and still no one has consensus on what to do about it. So it looks like it's just going to happen, fingers crossed.
