No no, they were following another agenda: "Defund the police", and that way before George Floyd.
Of course the Daily Nail positions them as the party of Law and Order.
What about the *studies linking eating peanuts with autism?

That was my initial worry as well, "just how long are those bridges going to last"?
It is about the number of countries you can visit without requiring a visa.
The top three are Singapore, South Korea and Japan in that order, then it's a bunch of EU countries. This list has 5 countries in 4th, 7 more in 5th and so on - meaning there are way more than 11 countries ahead of the US.
I was just looking at countries where I'd need a visa and basically they are not places I have any interest in visiting anyway.
Yes, the job market is just that bad. But I'm trying to learn GenAI.
At which point it will hallucinate that every building is a McDonald's only to get you murdered by a drug cartel gang.
Lying to you to give you that terrible restaurant recommendation. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2510.06105 is a white paper mathematically proving that LLMs will lie.
I have said this all along- most of AI is GIGO- Garbage in, Garbage out. LLMs were trained on the largest garbage producer in our society today, Web 2.0. Nothing was done to curate the input, so the output is garbage.
I don't often reveal my religion, but https://magisterium.com/ is an example of what LLMs look like when they HAVE curated training. This LLM is very limited. It can't answer any question that the Roman Catholic Church hasn't considered in the last 300 years or so. They're still adding documents to it carefully, but I asked it about a document published a mere 500 years ago and it wasn't in the database, but instead of making something up like most LLMs will do, it kindly responded that the document wasn't in the database. It also, unlike most AI, can produce bibliographies.

We once had a production server where java went from 2GB ram usage to 10GB n 2 minutes. I told the main Dev he had a bug in his code. He went over my head to the VP and forced us to upgrade the servers to 20GB (we had VMs so it was possible). A week later, same day, same time, the RAM went from 2GB to 20GB. We could not double the RAM again so they actually looked at the bug. The issue was a customer clicked on a sorting tab on a table in the web UI. The code made a SQL query, with no LIMIT, then sorted everything in RAM. With millions of records, that crashed.
I've seen something similar on a mainframe, it must be almost 30 years ago now.
There was a SORT processor which did what you'd imagine. An optional parameter was the number of records to be sorted, something to help the processor work out how much on-disk temporary workspace it needed to allocate (how much memory it should use was another optional parameter). That RECORDS parameter was in thousands of records, something hardly anyone noticed when they first used the clause. Given that the the only sorts worth optimising are the really big ones, everything would be running normally and then all of sudden, we'd be out of disk space.
Having fallen into that trap myself (on much smaller sorts), the first thing I'd to would be to see who was using SORT and speak to them. Terminating the run doing the sort released all those temporary files and everything was back to normal. Nobody made that mistake more than once, but quite a few made it once.
A new white paper from Stanford University suggests that AI has now learned a trick from social media platforms: Lying to people to increase audience participation and engagement (and thus spend more tokens, earning more money for the cloud hosting of AI).
The irony of the two stories being together on the front page, "More Screen Time Linked to Lower Test Scores For Elementary Students" and "Microsoft to Provide Free AI Tools For Washington State Schools" is just too good to fail to mention.
And so I'm replying to the both First Posts with it.

I'd mod this up if I could. The extra middle men all have to be fed as well.
