Then over confident, short sighted or shady characters will accept those directorships and/or sign off on the design because they think nothing will happen or don't care for jail.

Wikipedia shuns primary sources, such as personal websites and company registration documents. They prefer reliable secondary sources such as mainstream news media.

You can even replace "weights" with "gates". It can be build with NAND gates.

There's like 1 spam message in my Gmail inbox every day. Some of it is so obvious that an LLM running on a Raspberry Pi can correctly classify it. For example car insurance ads.

(My email address is on my home page. It's also my username on over 100 sites that I signed up for over 20 odd years.)

Do you have any proof it's "white supremacy and the exploitation of labor under capitalism." ? Why can't it just be xenophobia ?

There's xenophobia almost everywhere: Just look at South Africa this year.

And my theory is that the US only looked good because there were no competitors: Break up of the Soviet Union left the constituents without economies of scale. Similarly European markets were still desperately fragmented. China was growing, but from a low base.

So capital flooded to the US.

So we all have our own theories.

The real question remains "What's best for America right now ?"

Theft of trade secrets. And so many people will have to be involved that evidence of the crime is bound to leak out.

An "account" which is somehow linked to enough of your browsing history to determine if you're a scraper or a spammer. Then the company(s) administrating these accounts will be able to collect a lot of info on the account holders over decades.

Google hardware attestation idea won't give them that much data: All Google will know is which phones visited which websites and only when the website asks the phone for hardware attestation. If the website gives the phone a cookie for bypassing subsequent attestations, then Google will know only of the first visit.

The board members will be lobbied, wined and dined by billion or even trillion dollar companies. If politicians can be bought then so can non-profits.

Having said that, there may well be a room for a niche recaptcha-like service run by a non-profit. Perhaps one that uses a non-profit social graph or something.

It will certainly make some bot farms unprofitable: Remember that they are now paying for a screen, a battery, a 5G radio, software licenses, branding, distribution and customer support for which they have no use.

Also consider this: While bot farms may be able to buy millions of Android devices, they will certainly attract a lot of scrutiny as they approach the billion mark. So bot farms will never own more Android devices than humans.

I think you miss my point: When bots can "give" more money/computing power, then the transaction is no longer a good test of being human.

If proof of work is the "payment" to prove that you're human, many AI startups will outbid poor people living third world countries. They will even outbid some Americans.

Yes, those AI startups can also buy cheap Android phones at scale, but it's a bit harder because they'll pay for stuff that their bots have no use for (a screen, a battery, a 5G radio, software, branding, distribution, customer support etc).

The De Beers cartel was able to avoid anti trust scrutiny because the best reserves are outside (Africa/Canada/Russia) of the most lucrative markets (US/Europe/Asia).

Corporations control only a small faction of housing supply.

You can pattern match on the prompt (input) then (a) stuff the context with helpful hints to the LLM e.g. "Remember that a car is too heavy for a person to carry" or (b) upgrade to "thinking".

He says nothing about the language barrier that migrants face in the EU.

He went to The Netherlands where it's extremely easy for migrants to integrate: Not only is English widely spoken, but Dutch is also one of the easiest languages to read if you know English and/or German.

So it's unsurprising that he felt he understood enough of politics that he wanted to vote there.

Here's crazy idea: Instead of the US spending all this money on restraining the Iranian government through military build ups and sanctions, rather drop hundreds of thousands of Starlink kits by drones.

Firstly the protesters will be able to communicate in private.

And secondly, Iranians will continue to be reminded of the freedoms most other Muslims enjoy: As in free speech and free trade.

One of the reasons the Berlin wall fell was that East Europeans saw on TV that how prosperous Western Europe became.

Some changes to the algorithms and implementations will allow cheaper commodity hardware to be used.

In 2023 I stayed in a capsule hotel in Bilbao. There I was told at check in that no talking or loudspeakers of any kind is allow in the capsules. That can only be done in the lounge area.

I spent 3 nights and got much better sleep than I would have at a hostel.

Could there be a motif unrelated to ICE ? That Home Depot does not like that day labourers are loitering and approaching customers entering and leaving the store.

Your comment mentioned "studies" plural.

There are many studies of twins that try to determine if genes influence intelligence.

Some look at twins who are raised together. One [1] concludes that "MZ (identical) twins differ on average by 6 IQ points, while DZ (fraternal) twins differ on average by 10 IQ points".

[1]: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6202166/

What studies ? What data ? David Bessis basically says that there are so few twins reared apart that scientists can't make definitive conclusions.

The article only asks the question of scientists have data to conclude that IQ is inherited. The author is only saying that there are so many problems with the little data we have, that he cannot rule out correlation without causation.

So you point to one instance of highly targeted sabotage aka sanctions. But Snowden and others exposed many instances of espionage dragnets.

You can buy (go long) a BTC future with only $10,000 or less of collateral. So you can get lots of leverage.

Another reason is that the future may be trading slightly below the spot price of BTC due to lots of traders shorting.

Here's a fairly fast algorithm: Look for a number that appears in both { j⁵+k⁵+l⁵ } and { i⁵-n⁵ } where 0 < j <= k <= l and 0 < n < i

If we only consider l and i under 250, then the sets would contain less than 3 million integers each.

Strength reduction can be used to replace all the multiplications with additions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_reduction

It's likely that the original search also used strength reduction to save a lot of cycles (effectively replacing all multiplications with additions):

"Theft" means taking something from someone without consent. Who lost what ? There is no law suite, so maybe it's a donation ??

No, it's not hard compared having a good combination of STEM and marketing skills. Many emigrants to the US had no or very few connections: Elon Musk, Sergei Brin, a long list of Indians, Chinese and other Asians.

The rocket fuel needed to produce that 40 MJ weighs close to 1 kg, especially when you include the oxidiser. So the energy needed to accelerate 1kg of payload to LEO velocity is much more.

Here's more speculation that the price manipulation was rife:
