Comment he is going for the trifecta (Score 0) 58

He is officially going for the espionage trifecta: first, there was the Chinese spy who seduced him through culinary diplomacy; then came the Russian spy who went deep undercover in the liquid-nitrogen server room; and next week, weâ(TM)ll probably find out his third mistress is actually a Canadian agent who bypassed all security by simply walking up to the front desk, smiling, and saying, 'Excuse me, sorry to bother you, eh? Could I borrow the blueprints for the new Blackwell chips for a quick weekend project?' and she didn't even have to watch take off the leather jacket.

Comment Big guy going after the little guy - precedent (Score 4, Insightful) 93

This is classic "big guy" going after the "little guy" in the hopes that they can use their money and clout to financially bury Brave. And when they manage to do it, they've set a precedent they can use in other court cases. Fuck the New York Times. Fuck their new "fair and balanced" bullshit. Direct quote from them: "expand its coverage of conservative viewpoints"

Comment The Enshittification Continues (Score 5, Insightful) 93

I started using reddit *specifically* because I could read answers to web searches. Later I created a login so I could ask specific questions. Blocking users out from even reading content, essentially making it a walled garden that you have to log into to even read is the beginning of the end. New users will see an initial bump as a handful of people make accounts, then disappear as search results become less and less applicable to current problems because they aren't indexed. Reddit is currently an amazing repository of knowledge. Now it's dying, all to appease yet another money making scheme by trashy people with garbage MBA's all about 'adding shareholder value'.

Comment Too Big to Fail (Score 2) 71

Anthropic is one of the 'flagship' US AI companies. They are the first domino in a long string. I don't think it's any surprise to folks here that AI is not profitable yet - in fact it operates at a huge loss.

AI is the big draw for RAM and Video Card hardware. They're also a big contractor right now for construction companies and utility companies.

The US government will *not* allow them to fail. There is a bailout coming within the next 5 years. Why? The technology is 'strategic'. The resulting domino fall will gut the ram prices, the video card prices, and put a huge hurt on construction and utilities.

These AI companies have been using their inventory of video card, ram, and other chips as collateral for huge loans to buy MORE. If Anthropic goes bankrupt, that house of cards falls. Nividia and a number of other suppliers are left holding the bag to the tune of billions or trillions.

We - the taxpayers - will end up paying for all of this. And as it happens, we will see an AI crash, a tech crash, and a blue chip crash. For comparison, there is MORE speculative AI cash floating around than there was during the 2008 sub prime crash.

40% of the S&P is tied up in AI speculation. 50-60% of the Nasdaq is tied up in AI related companies. And 15-20% of the Dow Jones is tied up in AI.

This has every indication that it will dwarf both the subprime and the automaker bailouts.

From what has been released, finland legislature gave the local company permission to start the construction.
The finish government environment agency is the one saying that you might have that approval but you still need to get approval from us and submit the various paperwork.
So it is going to be a court decision to determine who is correct.

Comment Re:Context - UC has no SAT/ACT math requirement (Score 0) 151

Faculty members reported that a growing number of students arrive without the core algebra required for STEM majors, masked in part by high school grade inflation. Students are increasingly struggling to pass standard freshman-level courses, leading to an unprecedented rise in course failure rates, students dropping out, and a surging demand for remedial tutoring.
In response the board of UoC decided to have student to decide if the SAT/ACT needed to be reinstated, suppose to be out sometime next year.
Also eight Ivy League universities along with MIT, Caltech, Stanford, and dozens of other institutions that followed UoC have already reinstated the ACT/SAT requirement.

You got it partially right. The only people leaving are those who had their foot partially out the door already. They'd already been looking for other jobs and considering this move for a long long time. Most people *smart* enough to be in demand are also smart enough to plan for the future and NOT be idealistic enough to shoot themselves in the foot.

You're the 'biggest' social network in the world - and you DON'T have to provide free speech. You could easily remove the bots, the hatred, the fake medicine. You choose not to because profit is the bigger motive than society. Facebook is a cancer and deserves to be destroyed for the way they've acted as a custodian to the power they've amassed.

The district judged only mandated physical access to the White house buildings, not specific travel or pool rotation slots.
CNN has access to the white House, they are currently removed from the flying on Air Force One, and removed from the TV pool rotations.
