"A labor union wants to be, and often is, the exclusive provider (that is, seller) of labor to a company or industry. "

Labor Union do not provide exclusively labor to companies. What they do is have the power of collective bargaining, job protection, safety - which is utterly different to being "exclusive provider of job".
You may confusing normal labor union, with hiring hall union (e.g. in construction/actors/voice actor). That is a widely different type of union. Most union are NOT hiring hall union.

Feel free to correct me.

"The UK may not regulate US entities without the consent of the US government"

The UK can wholly regulate US entity doing commerce in the UK on what they can or cannot do while selling to UK citizen, and their modality of information being saved UK data information for later access in UK.

And the US government can do diddly squat on that except trying political pressure (thus the article), and the company can go out of the UK market if they don't like the modality of it. Which in this case they did not, they agreed to remove some encryption instead, while probably going to thug the dick of the politician they donate to, and whine ask them to do something.

Your point would be valid if we were speaking about navigation only. The reality is that the Mercator map is used everywhere, for politics, news, and education. And that is where the point of the new projection comes in.

Is your only connection a metered phone? Usage on the level of several TB per month on the lowest tier wired connection doesn't make an ISP angry, at least in the civilized world.

Ancient Rome made amazing aqueducts. One day they had built all the ones they really needed and with no new projects for a new generation to learn from, they quickly just forgot how to make aqueducts.

"Big Tech" is now entering this phase. In a generation all innovation will be gone.

900$ for a base model with 256GB SSD is pathetic.

Then make it retroactive. Donate the proceeds to the victims of this program who had to train their replacements.

Not in 2003 it wasn't

Her name is Pamela Jones, she was a paralegal. She's done real interviews in the past. She was/is real!

With executive pay at all time highs and the gap between executive and workers larger than ever, I would agree. This is a failure in the system where boards of directors are not holding executives accountable. The system can't hold for long.

The baby killers always lie. Absolute scum of the earth

"Japan is preparing a nonbinding "comply or explain" code that would urge generative AI companies"

This has no teeth whatsoever

It isn't about what China would find on the moon, but rather that the whole process would mean they are doing fundamental research and this would lead to advancement for them. Since the US is mostly doing "rent seeking" and much less advancement like that, this would lead to the US falling back in the tech compared to China. At least that's the theory, and why some on the US side are frightened by a tech China on the moon.

You sound like an idiot

So powerful that Claude requires a billion little hacks to be optimized so as not to use ridiculous amounts of tokens. The programmers are so good they can't build those optimizations into the model to begin with.

AI was supposed to resolve these issues, not add to them. Claude is the worst offender of them all.
