They're so out of control. The wiki foundation has had money pouring out of their ears for over a decade, and their new initiatives impact wikipedia only very indirectly. Don't be bamboozled into thinking your 5 bucks is needed to keep the servers running.

The UMD folks are some of the best in the business.

The mapping from latent space to the low-dimension embarassing/correct/offensive continuum is extremely complex.

It would be great if all these people trying to make a career out of sustainability would actually work on solving the problem instead of just complaining about it. The environmental cost of data centers is common knowledge already and the call to action at the end of the article is "idk think about it I guess". Even the scientist they interviewed had no recommendations.

One of the themes of the movie that gets repeated over and over is "these boneheads who draw equations on whiteboards but can't follow security rules are literally the most important people in the world."

"Fears of crime" and also crime...

I'm nostalgic for windows space pinball

Seems like a low blow, is there anyone left to even defend SF?

I don't envy anyone trying to design policy boundaries for technology that nobody understands.

It makes sense to me, there is nothing that any Japan sized military force could do to deter a China sized one, the only lever they can pull is diplomacy and economic pressure. I can also see why Japanese citizens would not want to spend more on a military force to fight in a conflict over Taiwan.

If the product is presented as your own thoughts, words and ideas but they came from chatgpt, then you're a grifter and at the very least you've overrepresented your expertise. Whether it qualifies as plagiarism is just semantics.

Everyone is worked up about losing their gas stove, but natural gas heating is far more reliable and efficient than any electric option right now. This will create a lot of issues until heat pumps catch up. Northern New York is very cold.
