Courts are extremely reluctant to turn back a lot of government decisions. There'll be some minimal restitution and a promise to never do it again. And then the Trump administration will use Claude next time.

Well, yeah. I get that being the stupid backwater of a huge capitalist union is still better than communism. However, it's not working out so well for (now mostly ex-)factory workers in Germany. Entire cities are emptying because of th

Actually most of the jobs went back to Germany, just ask US car workers. Where the company headquarters are mattered more than those unions. I guess that's why Trump is angry. German management are just not respecting the almighty go

People did that? I took one look at the fees and ... "no thank you", and took cash.

That happened in the reverse way. The government fired and underpaid a lot of people at Nasa ... and Musk hired incredibly experienced people, who became experienced on the taxpayers' dime, to build a rocket, for huge payrises. The b

You mean the courts found a technical legal explanation for why very large scale copyright infringement by multinationals was legal, but infringement by individuals of multinational owned copyrights was to be HEAVILY punished? No shit. Of c

Yes, Iran's tactic is to take as many hostages as they can and then vilifying their opponent. Denying or just resisting that tactic, obviously, means denying as much of this as possible, while keeping general correct information about

Is it? Is showing a fake ID to a private individual or company even a crime? I mean, I understand showing it to a police officer is obviously bad, but you can lie all you want about your name online, in person, ... whatever you want right.

If you have problems with 13 (I believe) GB of docker layers ... how do you deal with terabytes or petabytes of AI training data?

If you implement threads and code that reacts to an input queue (e.g. PostMessage, queue_push, mq_send, ...), you've implemented (probably a bad version of) async threads. And yes, that's exactly what Windows 1.0 did and what made

Come on, AI can work both ways. It's easy to use AI to greatly increase your knowledge of a subject. It's also easy to use AI to prevent yourself from having to learn anything. Both kinds of students will exist.

Yeah, indeed. But you neglect to state why: the population hates the islamist government to such an extent that the Iranian population would use the internet to give US/Israel targeting coordinates for EVERY Iranian official. From Parl

TLDR: we don't have the actuators required to make humanoid locomotion work reliably. Also: something every human actually kind of knows. You need to take impacts on muscles, not on mechanical connections. Even if we had the actuators

If you read the study, the whole conclusion is much less spectacular than the article. What the article really pushes happened: patients -> AI -> diagnosis (you know, with a camera, or perhaps a telephone I guess) What REALLY happened

One of the central tenets of democracy is that NOBODY knows anyone else's voting records. Even politicians are not allowed to reveal who they're voting for (meaning they can't show the paper. They can talk about it afterwards

Huh, you make me curious. Let's actually do that calculation. Let's say you do actually do 24/7/365 AI use. Let's say by some miracle you can do 60 t/s on Qwen 3.6 27b, and let's say this PC cost $3000 (yo

No. I claim that to be neutral you cannot have a stake in the whole situation, nor a strong opinion.

What I think is very ironic is that Blue Origin actually beat SpaceX to Mars, after a decade of SpaceX "make life multiplanetary". A few months after Blue Origin did that SpaceX announced now they'll just go to the Moon, no m

They have always done the same. Just attack everyone and then get the win by getting others to fight for them. Get the maximum reaction through PR/propaganda. It's how they came to power in the first place. It's how they got

Perhaps it's just that Iran believes it's only chance for victory is maximum public attention, and they don't have any real hacker know-how. So they pick a soft but well known target. It's what they do to students inside

Indeed. Except not in the way you attempt to point out. Middleeasteye.net is owned by Jamal Awn Jamal Bessasso, a Palestinian (self-defined, by which I mostly mean he could choose otherwise) who has Dutch citizenship and made a few million

Here's the real issue. Economic innovation only really happens when the government is spending big on some issue. That's at least half the reason war advances technology so fast. It's not like Ukrainians weren't able to

Yes but the point was that supply is very elastic since what happens to old fields is that they get priced out. When an oilfield gets older it's production cost creeps up, slowly. Since most of the oilfields that can produce at $curr
