You should read the court order you posted here. Specifically these parts: "Sucedeu-se que, nos termos do que demonstrou suficientemente a autoridade policial, essa empresa cumpriu apenas parcialmente a ordem judicial que lhe foi dirig

Telegram has a long history of obfuscation when it comes to court orders. In Brazil, they simply ignored previous court orders until they were banned. They played a similar trick in Germany too, and backed down after heavy fines: https:&#x

Yes, absolutely. They play dumb and pretend they have no responsibility for their platform. Germany already dealt with this and they backed down to a certain extent. I think most people in this thread either don't realize a democratic

My perception is that at least in Europe, mass layoffs have had almost no impact on the tech sector. I would say there is still a shortage of people for desired roles and therefore job offers and salaries are still high. Not talking about F

I know the word sounds demeaning, and I didn't mean to criticise in on technical grounds. I find it an extremely impressive project. I meant that it does not have the refinement you would expect for such a critical tool. A substantial

I wonder how it came to be that such a critical component of a multi billion industry relies on something so amateurish as LAION. This is no offense to the author at all, who organised a gigantic effort which we now see is very valuable. Bu

Honestly I wasn't thinking about Mendel here. That's a big exception of course. I feel that at least some people who cheat imagine themselves to be doing something similar, cleaning up data to show a deeper truth. In reality, they

As someone with an academic background, I would say it is very easy to forge results without anyone knowing it, at least in the biomedical field. The cases being caught are usually lazy like literally copying and pasting bands, if even a me

I just think that if TSMC can find such PhD level employees in Taiwan, why couldn't other competitors find them in places way more abundant in those types of people? Convincing them is a matter of paying them more, there are plenty of

Considering the overall investment goes into dozens of billions, it seems a little hard to believe they wouldn't source worldwide talent to make it 24/7 as well. Also they probably source top talent. I'm always skeptical of t

Interesting, but doesn't go into specific applications. Has anyone heard about someone finetuning ChatGPT/GPT4 on sentiment analysis, for example? I feel some benchmarks would be useful when determining whether this is a worthwhil

Small problem, we don't have enough batteries to power even one large city for a day and we won't have those for at least a decade.

AI can improve using the same corpus, there are many examples of that. Humans will still curate content as well.

What a weirdo. Unclear what sort of benefit he is extracting from this though, certainly not money. And if he wants attribution/fame so bad, why create a fake identity?

They are also letting US intelligence agencies decide what Americans see, sometimes with direct electoral consequences. I think it's past time we decide on an Internet Bill of Rights so that we can fight against any type of unreasonabl

Climate change is an interesting example, because we are obviously making things worse for climate overall for centuries. However, our rate of improvement is dramatically increasing. The other examples you provide are local. I don't th

The article is a quite interesting read, but it paints everything strongly with intellectual doomerism colors. > But today it is hard not to feel that if we have been, in fact, changing the world, we have been changing it for the worse.

Doing your job properly can lead to unexpected rewards. I found great contacts that helped me job hop after I performed some tasks with excellence. Mediocrity or active sabotage as you suggest also do not motivate me at all. Ultimately soci

Yeah, I think part of the difficulty in making friends as an adult is simply because your time is way more scarce and valuable.

Compute will also scale exponentially in coming years. The data source limitation seems to be a harder barrier, I think many companies are experimenting with AI generated content for training at this point.

Your statement about uranium is incorrect for a couple of reasons, but that's beside the point. You're asking us to take a leap of faith and believe in experimental technologies that have not been proven to work at scale at all. I

Two things can be true at once. The Greens may have pushed for renewables and helped in that regard, and they may have made a horrible choice when aggressively campaigning against nuclear energy. The former was possible without the latter,

Genuinely curious, if that's the case, why do you keep using it then? Is it simply that too many customers come through it and you have no choice?

None of these storage technologies are currently being used at scale. Not a single country is relying on batteries or hydrogen to solve the problem I mentioned above.

How many people to you estimate will die because of coal reactors until we hit this 2028 timeline?

by epups 3y ago
Nuclear is for base load. If Germany kept their reactors or increased them, then coal and gas would not be necessary for the times when renewable energy is not available, which is constantly. So yes, nuclear did get replaced by gas and coal

They were not in power but heavily supported anti-nuclear. They also could have changed course now since they are in power and are heading all the relevant ministries. I think it's fair to expect a party with this name to do better for
