When a company requires lot more energy, power plants are expected to produce lot more.
When a power plant produce a lot, the low consumption rates tend to get cheaper. It's gets cheaper to produce energy as the demand increases.
This is, of course, considering the input material is not scarce, like hydro power plants or wind power. Everything else (coal, oil, nuclear, gas, solar) should be easy to increase supply/demand.
Languages are lot more than speak, it also describes people and the way they interact each other.
Otherwise you will grow up inside an echo chamber, far away from reality.
People talking about politics IRL makes you understand and reason other points of views. If you can't tolerate others views, then you are clearly a radical.
While I don't care much about AI deepfakes, revenge porn can be very harmful to women, at the point of considering suicide.
This needs to be normalized at some point. While I don't like what Germany usually does, privacy about private photos/videos need to be respected
I'm surprised that Norway, a "progressive" country with a huge welfare state, is only known for their oil extraction as wealth generation.
If they don't diversify their economy, they might face the same problem as Venezuela.
I know there are weirdos everywhere, but not much related to "Hacker News"
This is into the opposite direction about what "free open-source" means.
You get that software into your computer, you are entitled to free unrestricted use or modify in any way you want.
Except by the Firefox trademark of course.
In the same way, personal liberties aren't a thing if are are unable to establish your own business
This criticism is valid for the business who wants to use AI to improve coding, code analysis or code review, documentation, emails, etc, but also for that individual who don't want to rely on 3rd party companies for AI usage.
I just don't trust those companies when you use their servers. This is not a good approach to LLM democratization.
Isn't that the principle of authoritarianism?
Sure, you have vote, you may ot many not have freedoms depending of the country, but did that person accepted that social contract?
What is the difference with slavery? The social contract is basically slavery of born children to do whatever the "nation" says. This is not different than a slave and their owner.
Taxes are already a certain percent. It doesn't make any sense to tax more or less percent to people over certain amount of money.
At the end, poor people dont want to work because they will lose all benefits and get taxed. Middle class people don't want to earn more than certain amount because they will get taxed more.
Because progressive taxes are reliant on certain income (value) or wealth, inflation makes people to pay more taxes over time.
I got some comments flagged for less than that.
- Do you realize Trump assumed less than a month ago?
Even when this government is trying to resolve the huge amount of federal waste, it is normal to wait couple of months until it stabilizes.
I remember when my country did a massive reform to the judiciary, it was entirely chaotic for few months.
Under a certain problem you can always hire more people and expect that resolves the issue, but this goes against efficiency as government doesn't have accountability (just check US debt!).
Resolving an efficiency issue is always difficult and chaotic until it stabilizes, governments around the world are known for never updating their processes. They don't even have a database for Social Security!
It will get better over time, but it will never be perfect using the current paradigm (RNG and tensors)
Just like Ted Kaczynski mistake, technology is there and nothing you or me can do to prevent anything.
I feel this is a right move overall.
Companies who use AI for customer support are really idiots, anyone can jailbreak AI and force them to give you absurd deals. I'm more than happy to see those lazy business go broke
It's not. It started by Trump around 2020 trying to challenge China trade and being considered a propaganda asset.
Democrats later used the argument for their own benefit.
I don't play conspiracies, I distrust everything proven, this includes conspiracy theories with arguments made from air.
I haven't said that was intentional. I blame their errors and mistakes.
> Maybe, just maybe, if people listened to the CDC and WHO we would have better outcomes.
When? They changed their narrative almost 6 times, while killing people with the mechanical respirators or keeping them stuck in-home with no physical activity.
The world already faced this kind of acts during the Spanish Flu, and CDC repeated the exact same mistakes of that time, considering we have better technology and information by that time.
The Wuhan lab research and blame to Chinese people was a conspiracy during COVID, and today we know how CDC was involved into the gain-of-function Wuhan Institute of Virology. Why did they negated everything when questioned?
Do you understand many Chinese people faced discrimination because of this? And this was well known project funded by the NIH.
I can understand some technology/hacking posts may be related to politics, it's inevitably true, but this is not even that.
Secondly, USA is considered a very unhealthy in comparison to Europe and other countries, while that's mosrly related to FDA, CDC also plays a role here by promoting drugs/vaccines in cases you only need a change of habits (like eating well to minimize flu severity)
Third, the way CDC dealt with COVID was unacceptable, their mixed messages about facemask, social distancing, herd immunity, reapiratory machines caused many people to die, and not because of the virus necessarily. This is a 15k people agency.
And worth to mention their controversy to require social media companies to censor posts about Wuhan Institute of Virology, when we all know today it was true, and CDC was partially responsible of the COVID 19 crisis. Also their censorship of scientists who disagreed with CDC conclusions, and some of them resulted to be factual.
After all of this, I do think it's fair to reform the CDC entirely. The economic impacts of their mistakes destroyed millions of business and caused many people unemployed. Even today 2025 you see few large companies struggling or going bankrupt because of their debt under COVID.
You may think we had to do that to prevent COVID spread, but all current data says the opposite, and many countries who never took hard measures had same or lower spread than US. CDC had to rectify all of their errors.
I have many friends who lost their jobs, VISA or green card process, because CDC was incompetent to act against a virus they previously knew, and recommended things they didn't encourage in the past (like paper/cloth masks to prevent spread of a viral virus).
And why posting an article of 2016?
Anyways, this is a good thing if you want to clean up the mess from very long time, regardless of the party.
And finally non-political articles here lol
They already paywall people behind a VPN, so don't care.
If you like Reddit but you complain about their decisions, I would recommend to use Lemmy instead.
Seems like LinkedIn boost people with less useful content ever seen.
There are ton of people (mostly Indians) who just copy good articles from internet and put into Linkedin without quoting the real authors.

Apart from jokes, why appealing to victimization when you have internet trolls bombing your system?
Trolls will always troll, and it's idiotic to blame far-whatever stuff always. If you have an online platform, you should at least keep your site safe from trolls and spammers.
They should stop doing victim-hood things, recognize their site was attacked by internet trolls and fix that thing. Everyone who have online services (including myself) knows this is a common issue.
Our site have attacks from radical left comments instead, and we don't do this "oh no, political extremism is too far, hate is never accepted", instead, we just delete the comments, try our best to keep them out from our platform and that's it.
Trolls will post extremism from left, right, anarchist, porn, ads, whatever in order to disrupt services
If you add regulations, people will use other AI companies from countries without them. The only result of that would be losing the AI race.
You can see this at Huggingface top models, fine-tuned models are way more popular than official ones.
And this is also good considering most companies (even China) offer their models free to download and use locally. Democratizing AI is the good approach here.
