contempt for users is the unavoidable consequence of having users.

"someone voting for the "least worst candidate" does not wholly endorse everything they stand for"

yes but somebody voting for the "most worst candidate" is not somebody who's values should be trusted

AI as currently modeled can pretty much never get enough data, so mostly data processing, and model generation.

when a query is asked of an AI it has to generate a response from all of that data and the query and response themselves become data

running an LLM on local consumer hardware can take upwards of 20 minutes for a single query, so an AI service that may be responding to up millions of requests a day would need a massive hyper-parallelized server infrastructure

flying machines and hydrogen has an spotless history without any tragedies whatsoever

nuclear isn't cheap if you are thinking about the cost to build out a new plant under current design.

but the per kw cost is relatively low as i understand it since the fuel is so efficient and its getting cheaper as new reactor designs get cheaper and safer

i would actually like being able to power my mac mini with just a usb-c dock like a macbook

bing accounts for your history in promoting search results. and has a different algorithm to google, inevitable really because google's algorithm is secret and unknowable.

the problem is that google WANTs to promote forums because forums are reliable sources of truth, but with automation all they can do is look for subject authority markers (incoming link count, keywords, text references on other highly authoritative pages, etc)

SEO as an industry is about optimizing those markers to appear above "organic" results in a search page.

changing the markers only means the SEO industry will adjust to target the new priorities, but forum operators are always the last to optimize. it's a fundamentally unwinnable game

does this mean future self driving will require hw4 for full capability?

commercial real estate was considered extremely safe, and competitive, so such deals were a way to build trust in commercial tenants and compete with other banks.

it was considered safe because a commercial tenants was likely trying to run a stable business and moving location is very expensive, so it was unlikely for a business to want to change location on a whim.

> Obvious (if politically impossible) fix - banks that go bust become U.S. Gov't. property.

the assets should become government property and administered long enough to sell off the assets to the market.

the bank itself should be dissolved as a legal business entity, with no protection for the executives

density is not really a critical factor for grid level or onsite energy storage, so it could be feasible in theory

apple is so determined to prevent any serious code execution that even ssh apps require janky workarounds just to provide a terminal emulation that still needs a second device to communicate with just to do any real work

yes, its the difference between the headset being a bold new computer form factor, or just another peripheral.

basically is it a laptop (fully independent), an ipad (excellent secondary device that can do focused work on it's own), or a smart monitor (peripheral with some built in usability)?

each eye is not getting "4k resolution" they are claimed to be each capable of rendering a 4k screen in natural resolution.

meaning a couple 4k screens can be rendered in the visible area without a noticeable difference in quality to real screens at a similar "apparent" distance
