We'd be using "human" in the same way if we'd met an alien race, for example. LLMs are not alive, of course, nor will they be. But personally I think that artificial sentience counts as a distinct lifeform just as much a

No? This isn't a planning permission question, the federal government has eminent domain and can simply take land for federal use. Just like with the railroads and power grid. Of course building datacenters is absolutely not what e

OLED burn in is not "planned obsolescence" any more than the "self-emptying gas tank". That's pure ignorance. OLEDs burn in because of simple physics. The same reason your car's gas tank empties when you use it

More than that, these emergencies are the kind that collectively end entire civilizations. We've faced confluences like this before as a species and when it happens, nations fall and die. Not fast and violent, but slow and rotting.

Not theory, this is literally just how it works. Only one device can transmit on a WiFi channel at any given moment. A whole lot of the WiFi standard is just dealing with scheduling multiple clients wanting to transmit on the same channel a

Speaking from experience, it cost mW about a week or two per year to maintain GitLab for the startup I worked at. My personal GitLab on the other hand really does take only a day or two per year. That said, a week or two per year is just wh

You disassemble and analyze any software you have access to, and then you put Wireshark in between the software and the device. You watch the bytes being sent to the device and trace their path backwards through the software. Eventually pat
