She's the head of the Department of Justice: and you are arguing that it's okay to not do her job because the criminals might threaten her.

Mass production should be able to make this standard. Walls don't vary that much. Personally I've been printing snap in access panels whenever I have to get into a wall these days - in white PETG they pretty much disappear into th

Because it's based on no evidence, and framed to imply a government official openly breaking the law is somehow the victim here (The files are already meant to be released by law, many of the redactions are illegal). If Bondi doesn&#x2

Does it matter? Microsoft won by default with Teams because it actually turns out no one cares about chat or even has a choice in it: employees use whatever the company picks.

Persistence. Google has a lot more endurance then OpenAI does in this game. The current AI market is going to destroy anyone who's specialized into it compared to having alternative revenue streams to subsidize it.

Which part was misleading? The section you quoted was all references to real stories which happened recently.

It's because these are LLMs - they're re-enacting roles they've seen played out online in their training sets for language. Pr closed -> breakdown is a script which has played out a bunch, and so it's been prompted in

It's mostly a good example of why comedians aren't a source of information. Plantation lumber is a very sustainable industry, and plastic's environmental impact is highly context dependent.

While true we did that years ago and the other side is simply ignoring it. Worse, the people we sold the idea too are stuck on it: they're convinced the solution must and totally be the performance, not the result.

The front camera is the best thing I added to my 2004 Prius. The hood on that car is very good for visibility, but with the birds eye cameras I can roll it up within centimeters of things in front of me (there's a slight risk that you

No this is fixed by physics. 5ghz waves are about 60mm wavelength. Your resolution limit is about 30mm as a result.

Lower frequencies are microwaves and radio waves. We already have the square kilometer array.

This carried more weight when the US wasn't trying to take Greenland.

Yeah but neither makes a difference to taking a taxi. And your skills at catching a cab don't matter for booking a self driving car online.

Maybe so but what here really would've prevented this? The information involved is necessarily public: bank details and credit card numbers need to be shared otherwise why have them? Writing a rule that says the government can't d

The most interesting thing about everyone trying to position themselves as AI experts is the futility of it: the technology explicitly promises tomorrows models will be better then todays, which means the skill investment is deflationary: t

We really need a rule in politics which bans you (if you're an elected representative) from stating anything about the beliefs of the electorate without reference to a poll of the population of adequate size and quality. Yes we'd

The more important question is, are you content with simply dismantling any progress in accelerator science at all for the next century? Because the LHCs successors won't be online till the 2050s at least. If you don't fund them n

This is your regular reminder that epicycles were not an incorrect theory addition until an alternative hypothesis could explain the same behavior without requiring them.

I would suggest that at those times it's when the structure of achieving the same common goal was at stake. Disagreements on the best day to provide services to the public are still attempting the same common objective. Disagreements o

The US historically did not threaten military action against NATO allied nations as well. The past is of no value in predicting the future right now.

There is no master plan, there's a hype cycle, environment and the market. Humanoid robots became possible and so people are racing to be first to market assuming that might be a giant market (it's cheap labor potentially so of co

This is really a failure to understand how oppressive regimes work. The goal is not to accurately target people, the whole point is you don't care. The exercise of power is the point. It doesn't matter who's door you kicked i

The problem is Tesla is a quasi-premium brand, so killing features for cost which cause annoyance is a terrible look. But also frankly I somewhat question what this could possibly be saving them: their model range is very limited.

Fridge cataloging is actually a great use case for image recognition, the problem is fridges no accommodations to power accessories inside them. I have a couple of temperature sensors to alert Home Assistant if the fridge gets too warm. It

Okay but also we all still live in democracies, and people are fairly obviously getting what they vote for a lot of the time. Extrrnalising that to "the government" is to pretend you had no say, or to collectively try and pretend
