Gambling and fraud are rather different types of problems.

At least they're taking a stand over it.

They recently (~3 months ago) had a call for people interested in "talent engineering" to join them.

I wonder if they found their star and were able to can the recruiters.

Slop and placeholder text on the page, including this one. They should have reviewed their webpage.

"What software frameworks are relevant to Intel GPU D270?

Intel GPU D270 messaging should reference familiar AI software and serving frameworks such as PyTorch, vLLM, SGLang, and OpenAI Triton, where approved. This helps developers and platform teams understand how the product fits into existing AI workflows."

Interestingly, (and independent of the ethnic and cultural background he grew up in) the article said he was a Roman Catholic by the time he expired.

The article reads like slop, to be honest.

The part of American agriculture which employs illegal immigrants is clearly not mechanized; they are not driving combines and are tending vegetables by hand.

Types of food really are discretionary. Beans are an excellent vegetable and can be raised completely without manual labor. Trading salad greens for them would not be an overall nutritional loss. Perhaps the true market price for a head of lettuce should be 1.6x in a properly labor regime.

To draw the distinction more clearly, suppose we had zero illegal immigrants working in the field and someone said “let’s reduce the price of some vegetables by a third and create a permanent underclass”. Does that sound reasonable?

Conversely, the question should be "Who is preventing American agriculture from mechanizing?"

Or, if you are such a pessimist in America's can-do attitude, instead take it from the point of view of market efficiency. If a good cannot be produced cheaply enough for the market to sustain it, the solution is not to modify the social contract and undermine the value of labor for the sake of the good.

We have always solved problems by innovation. The surest way to prevent innovation is to continually provide cheaper and cheaper labor. The Roman empire is an excellent example of this.

Undoubtedly, these issues are more complex. However, this is such a tired old canard. Wages make labor, scarcity makes innovation.

The outputs for the first example aren’t showing up for me.

With all due sympathy and wishes that he can continue his career in America, I have to say that a medical fraud billing charge is unfortunately going to make it much harder for him to fight the legal battle.

Ironically, reads like slop.

That might be true in practice but also 1) completely incompatible with global notions of fairness and justice, and 2) not an especially compelling political argument for getting countries to open up their markets.

I am quite happy to see such a successful outcome for this team. When looking at the landscape of AI-adjacent startups, rarely do you see such a nice balance between following the hype and providing a sufficiently useful and general service that makes technology more accessible to all.

Well, an American farmer cannot sell his grain in India. That also seems to be discrimination simply because he is in the wrong place. Are you arguing that all protectionism is flawed and wrong?

A country's first responsibility should be to its citizens.

This looks like mostly AI slop.

If it is satire, bravo.

If sincere, congratulations.

They're a bit late to the party.

This is a classic!

Very cool. Excited to try this out sometime!

Isn't this way more expensive?

I think you dramatically underestimate the number of motivated, trained people who find the current societal conditions on Earth untenable.

By the way, this is not just a cheap shot at the Trump administration. The issues are much wider than that.

As you pointed out, the viable area with a sufficiently cold winter is probably shrinking every year. Perhaps the better solution is the one proposed by Yablonovitch et al in which they suggest using deserts instead, though I think that is about as risky, and also a tremendous risk for fire.

Deep down, I have the gut feeling that in a century's time, people will think we were clinically insane for not trying to stockpile as much carbon as possible in whatever means we have, since it is clearly the foundation for biology, and widespread synthetic biology will use it (and N, and P) by the gigatonne. I really don't see any fundamental physical reason why we won't be growing entire cities made out of wood with the right genetic engineering and sufficient feedstock.

Thanks for taking a look at that article! In short, you're right on the first item; only a fraction of that total arable land actually experiences subfreezing winter temperatures.

Given your word choice, I suspect you hail from Britain or a commonwealth country and your (appropriate) definition of township differs from mine. I should have defined it as "survey township" which is a USA term for a grouping of land parcels six miles tall by six miles wide. Again, the number presented is a ballpark estimate, as though we may not have as many nice villages and hedgerows in the Dakotas and other Plains states, we similarly do not farm every single literal acre--though many act as if we should, animals and people be damned.

It'd be nice if you just wrote the article yourself instead of using ChatGPT. I know it's a lot of work, but I would be much more inclined to finish it.

I think that there's a major difference in the resulting mindsets that the two types of experiences form, though.

The first learn that nature is always present and doing its best to kill you / wreck your harvest, and that it is only through man's intelligence and social bonds that we thrive. I would argue a corollary of this is that one cannot tolerate malicious or grossly neglectful people around.

The second group learns that other people are a liability and that bad actors are just a fact of life to be tolerated and worked around.

Both approaches are clearly optimal for their respective environment. The former seems like a stronger foundation for building a civilization on, though.

I can tell you wrote the article with ChatGPT. I’m out as soon as I pick up the smell. I don’t dislike the usage of AI, I just don’t trust. It if you haven’t written it yourself.
