This isn’t even misuse. Sharing with other agencies is an intended feature. Edit for clarity this is not a misuse of Flock .

Yes just explain that in the court of public opinion. I’m sure nobody will jump to conclusions.

Flock didn’t build a sidewalk. Flock built the stomp-o-tron 9000 with convenient victim loading ramp and mechanical leg. Flock built a surveillance data repository with convenient sharing mechanisms. Someone then used those mechanisms as

This is a Chesterton’s fence situation. If you can’t identify the problem that this law solves then you aren’t qualified to remove it. The law exists for a reason, I encourage you to imagine what that might be.

I suggest you contribute new ideas and otherwise refrain from adding fuel to the fire of negativity.

Yeah see you’re just putting negativity into the world. I come here for intellectual curiosity. I want to hear new ideas. You’re not saying anything new. You’re leaving the social media equivalent of dog turds on the sidewalk. Please be

If there’s anything I know about summer camp it’s that everyone diligently follows the rules, especially those regarding contraband.

If we can freely recycle water how little of it would we need on Earth before we would see an ecological change?

I'm not really convinced. This sounds reasonable but I can't formulate a good argument in favor.

by mulmen 1y ago
How do you think that works exactly? That data centers cause more rain than would otherwise fall? How is that not an ecological change? Where does it come from?

I didn’t say that he’d have a “take”. I said he’d find the climate familiar.

Why are you being so antagonistic? Are you ok? > Water? I didn’t realize that when you use water it disappears from the universe, or even from earth, or even from the local ecosystem Your own standard includes the local ecosystem.

Converted to steam and carried out of the local ecosystem by wind. From the perspective of anyone downstream the water is gone.

Seems like a reasonable expansion of the concept to me. Why the aggressive dismissal?

LLMs are notoriously bad at math but they’re not LMMs so that shouldn’t be surprising. If you want an LLM to do math you just ask it to write a program with tests.

Can’t tell if you are serious but I will assume you are. Why not? Seems like a logical conclusion. 1. Introduce the concept. 2. Demonstrate an intuitive algorithm. 3. Assist students as they practice and internalize the algorithm. 4. Reinf

Does that only apply when you need to shard within tenants? If each tenant gets an instance I would call that a “shard” but in that pattern there’s no need for cross-shard references. Maybe in the analytics stack but that can be async and e

The winning strategy in the previous US presidential election was to scream obvious lies blaming the immigrants, minorities, or opposition for any perceived slight. I think Orwell would find this all very familiar.

Sounds like one centralized Postgres instance, am I understanding that correctly? Wouldn’t meeting bots be very easy to parallelize across single-tenant instances?

Sure, it is always DNS. But are other sites on that DNS also down? How long has this site been down? Has anyone acknowledged this outage? If the DNS is up and the domain is registered it starts to look like a takedown instead of a mist

Yeah exactly. We’re riffing on how implausible that is, right?

Because you need an enormous amount of energy to run the servers. You may hide the downlinks but you still need power.

Humans are inefficient. The mistake is making a moral judgement about that.

That’s the point of federation. If there’s no centralized target then the Marines have a much harder job.

$500.00 a night is $182,500.00 per year. That’s 20% of comp. What “better thing” does the IRS have to do? I don’t disagree with you that the IRS has limited time and resources and should maximize their impact but comparing a nightly expe
