On earth now, radiation causes less than 1% of transposition errors.

So too little radiation would probably not have much effect.

"Sky.net" shurely ?

Lenovo sells chromebooks for more than that, what is that, a refurbished android tablet?

That site is blocking VPN clients (sus) but here's another one you can pick up at CVS:

Imagine how much jet fuel was wasted on being stupid.

This is an example of "sometimes you can be too careful".

The IPO push is tied to their profit forecasts, and they expect to be profitable in Q2. They're revenue is growing rapidly and it's likely true they'll actually turn their first profit, so don't bet against it.

Sure. That could happen again. And again. It's even likely with these LLM operators. A few years from now the necessary hardware be lower cost and lower power. The models they've built will be cloned and surpassed by multiple competitors.

But in the immediate future investors will fill Anthropic's pockets. One benefit in all this is that there will be more scrutiny of the spending, which will create friction in the both the Buy All The Silicon and Datacenters Everywhere departments: the investors of both Anthropic and OpenAI will want to milk the value of tokens while spending as little as possible and avoiding risk.

I've owned several XPS laptops for the keyboard alone.

"offering a premium aluminum design, touch display, backlit keyboard, Wi-Fi 7, 512GB of base storage, and various other configuration options."

Omitting the RAM size in this sentence tells use that this is a Slashvert and not a proper story.

Wouldn't DNA be protected underwater ?

"Also keep in mind we'd have a much less abundant atmosphere, if any without the magnetic field."

Not sure about that: https://www.aeronomie.be/en/annual-report/does-earths-magnetic-field-protect-our-atmosphere

Exactly, we would have had cataclysmic earthquakes if the summary were correct.

The poles have shifted dramatically in recent decades and the field has weakened substantially leading to bright auroras in Florida and Hawaii at low KP numbers.

Models have the North Pole arriving at the Bay of Bengal sooner than anybody would expect. Christmas will be awkward until we change our vocabulary..

The P in PC means Personal which means affordable for the average man.

I suspect these devices will not be.

Luckily, the open models running on actually affordable hardware are good enough for most uses by now and Nvidia's multi-trillion days are over.
The AI bust can't come soon enough.

The magnetic field protects us as we are, it is "vital to our continued existence".

But I think that if necessary, life could well have evolved to protect itself from the extra radiation.
Better DNA error checking, for example.

I always wondered what that old switch in the cellar did.

Well yes, I would be a trekkie. I don't know what starwars fans are, maybe jedists? But what got my interest in this story is the fact that Disney lost to not one but TWO indie films, despite how much they spent on the movie. Shit, they probably exceeded the budgets of both films combined on just marketing and promoting their movie.

Having said that, I don't believe "loud, annoying and stupid" is a valid reason to report somebody. If it was, I'd have done it already.

And the South Park guys had their own take on JarJar:

Very similar here.

Somebody said the new movie has a fifty year old baby as a main character which is supposedly their key demographic.
