Yes but the youtube videos of the accidents are much more entertaining than any other power plant type. So there's one in the plus column.

Please take a look at this wikipedia on Limpieza de sangre ("blood purity") from the 1400's and tell me how it fails to qualify as racism.

Wow, the idea that "racism was invented in the 18th century" is the wildest thing I've read in a while. I'm trying to imagine a defense of that statement but I just can't.

I was not trying to heap praise on the guy (I did compare him to Epstein... ) , but if you want to blame him or praise him, I think he's very much responsible for the modern LLM commercialization.

It wouldn't now. I agree. But I think Sam deserves some.. Credit for this current AI cycle. He was the one bold enough to unlesh LLM's and market them to the masses. Google was too timid to do it. Ironically, Open Ai was supposed to prevent this from happening. But Sam is Sam, asking him to show restraint is cuckoo bonkers, its like asking Epstein to start a preteen modeling agency so they don't get trafficked. It would take some one stupid as Musk to put him in charge.

AI isn't ready until it blames previous developers with an appropriate amount of profanity, before resolving in self loathing and self destructive alcoholism

# fuck this shit, fucking lscagg, fuck my life its fucking miller time, actually fuck it. inviting my friends johnny, jim and jack over , fucking three wise men are needed to wipe this fucking shit from my brain

I don't think it is much cheaper in the US, after a paying a 70% to 100% import tariff.

I would call this an immigration cap, not a population cap. Let's say internal growth somehow resumed and they got on track to break 10M even after ceasing immigration. If it's a population cap, they'd have to make their own citizens not have kids, which is an ugly prospect. Granted the distinction doesn't matter unless their internal reproduction zooms back up which isn't happening anytime soon.

"Except Apple."

They are immune to the so-called laws of economics.

To the point, they pay for their utilities - water and electricity. For some reason people seem to think industry gets utilities for free and then the residential users have to pay for it? It's silliness. The utilities require upfront fees and contracts before making an investment for a big new consumer.

Ugh, it sucked compared to google maps and still does. It doesn't have the Steve jobs obsession with usability. Somehow Google is better at that for maps.

But still, I wish both Google and Apple would spend some more time fixing and improving their maps. I should be able to choose route preferences like " Don't make any un protected left hand turns on to busy streets" and have it route accordingly. Google still routes people through really small alleyways sometimes to save a minute, or will route you on an expensive tollway by default to save a minute. I don't want to avoid all tollways, but I want to make efficient use of time and money. Saving 20 minutes might be worth $2, but Spending $8 to maybe save one minute is not.

There isn't a shortage of water in Michigan.

And then we get this: " Last month, Township attorney Douglas Winters told the Board of Trustees that building hosting the data center would make Ypsilanti Township a "high value target." He pointed to the recent bombing of Gulf Coast data centers by Iran as evidence. "

They're grasping.

Forbes has a guess:

Microsoftâ(TM)s standard severance package previously included 12 weeks of base pay plus two additional weeks for every year of employment, though this could vary depending on tenure and level. When the company laid off 10,000 employees in 2023, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said his firm would offer benefit-eligible employees six months of health care and stock vesting and 60 days of notice in addition to severance. If a 20-year employee whose salary totaled $180,000, their severance package would offer $180,000, though itâ(TM)s likely this would be larger for higher-level workers.

Two weeks pay for every year of employment, up to a year of pay, seems to be kind of common in buyouts.
