Is this really common behaviour? I do not recognise it. Do people lie? Certainly yes. Do people misremember, or get details incorrect? Yes. But when was the last time you saw someone, say, fabricate an entire citation in a paper? People make transcription errors, they misremember dates, and they deliberately lie. But I don't think people accidentally invent entire facts.

I think the evidence is actually pretty strongly against them doing anything similar to "thinking". Certainly they are exhibiting some behaviour that we have traditionally only associated with thinking. But this comes along with lots of behaviour that is fundamentally opposite to thinking ("hallucination" being the major example).

It seems much more likely that they are doing some other behaviour that only sometimes resembles thinking, in the same way that when you press the middle autocomplete button on your phone keyboard it only sometimes resembles conversation.

This is a very silly argument. The energy expended should be justified on its own (scientific!) merits. The fact the web happened to be invented at CERN has almost nothing to do with the fact that they burn through terajoules of electricity every year.

It is really not any harder to define than "freely". Presumably by "what I signed up for freely" you mean "what I signed up for without any coercion, threat of violence, etc". The people using "exploitation" here just mean that those conditions also include the implied threat of not having money to live. This is a real material condition which affects what people are prepared to agree to (even if they might be able to find a better offer by shopping around).

It is not hard to understand, and I suspect you are not trying to understand it.

How did that turn into "not great, not terrible"? That's still 300,000 homes that could otherwise be powered. It's an enormous amount of electricity!

That's appalling. "Yo let me squirt you"

It is in the "Early life" section.

Built it into the protocol that you must provide bandwidth in order to have your requests served. A bit like forcing people to seed torrents.

> isn't it much faster

No. Radioactive materials decay at the same rate no matter what you do to them.

> the effects of the uranium is largely mitigated

Very different from decaying faster. It's possible that by covering it in algae you block the radiation from escaping. But the algae is still going to have to sit there for 10000 years without moving before the waste is decayed. You're better off sticking it inside lead.

I assume it does not need to be mentioned that this does NOT "clean up" nuclear waste. It just means that the constant energy emitted by it can be harnessed by these fungi. The radioactive material will remain hazardous for the same amount of time as if the fungi did not exist.

What exactly does it mean for something to be a "risky thing that will work"?

The first amendment is not related. I think you are talking about the fourth amendment (protection from unreasonable searches and seizures). In this case the online data is stored by the provider, and there is no private location for which to obtain a warrant. The provider's database is not your private domicile. Legally, it is no different from a cop asking a store for footage from their cameras.

Of course, the claim is that it should not be considered this way, because it is bad for privacy. But the reasoning that led here is pretty comprehensible.

Is it really satire? If so, I'm genuinely angry this was not flagged as such. But there is no indication on the website, and they have some older emails which sound familiar as authentic.

This absolutely does not translate into him being well-known.

Same for me. You can get around it by zooming in.

Why do you think there is increased demand for security in AI integrations?

I don't understand what point you are making. Doesn't the name "Reasoning language models" claim that they can reason? Why do you want to see it explicitly written down in a paper?

No known reason :-)

I didn't know there was a guix package! That's actually what I should have asked in the first place. I was thinking of packaging it, I didn't check first.

Can this be used without KDE, on another desktop environment? Without systemd, even?

Very happy to learn about the Grafana Strava plugin. I have been worried about that data for a while!

I think this is a good idea, but your language seems extremely similar to XML - why not just write an XML schema? Seems like you can leverage a lot of existing tools and abstractions that way.

These are not mutually exclusive properties. Pandemic modellers do not predict exactly when a pandemic will emerge, they predict how a pandemic will evolve once it emerges. The actual emergence of a pandemic is still about as predictable as, say, a stock market crash or a war.

I know it's not what OP meant, but dirty equals expensive, in the medium term. We are going to be paying the costs of climate change much sooner than we would like to admit.

I could never understand why microformats were so popular among fediverse people when XML is right there. Seems like unnecessary fragmentation.

I agree completely. Museums, culture, and other wasteful/pointless excesses should be deducted from profits - at the discretion of the profiteer - only after the actually useful work of poisoning the drinking water to generate pornography is complete.

Long live the overlords.

I don't think either of us think what he wrote is subjective or an opinion. they seem like pretty definitely truth claims to me.

You are being very cryptic. Are you trying to say that the existence of uncountable sets requires the axiom of choice? If you are, that's false. If you aren't, I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

Q: Why should I give some stranger on the internet a copy of my government ID?

A:

Very much handwaving. The question is not meaningful at all without knowing the parameters of the S-curve. It's like saying "I flipped a coin and saw heads. What's the most likely next flip?"
