This page claims over 400,000 recordings but links to a listing of only 187,034 audio files. I'm guessing the discrepancy is the girth of the suit: IA agreed to take down the files that the plaintiffs could prove were theirs and no money changed hands.

Let's compare, shall we?

Little Bobby Tables:

• No framework required: conventional database entry + payload only
• Wreaks havoc in an instant
• Total size: 32 bytes

This:

• Downloads ollama (672 MB, on Windows)
• Downloads a 14 GB data file for the model itself
• Requires a bare minimum of 16 GB of VRAM—and still runs like absolute molasses, eating up all resources
• Total size: 15 GB

Personally, I'm on Team Tables here. Maybe in a decade or three this will be practical.

> but billionaires are drop in the (expanding) ocean.

In terms of headcount - yes, but in terms of power and authority to do something - no.

These people can exert a greater influence on policies, and could therefore be seen as bearing a greater responsibility, no?

I heard FAT12 had it beat for raw performance.

"Hello, Ecuadorian embassy? Yes, I heard about the weird shit with the cat, but listen..."

Also possible. OpenAI's models do love their bullet points, and especially having exactly three examples in a list. The catchphrase "math magic" at the end also reeks of GPT-4's didactic blandishment.

Yeah, there aren't a lot of popular map projections that fail that test, unless you perhaps count the polar projection used for the UN logo. I'm guessing that sentence is there as a result of editing; perhaps it originally said equally-spaced parallels (which is true of the Robinson projection) but someone math-savvy was consulted to correct the claim to its current form (without seeing the context) and the maintainer of the page wasn't knowledgeable enough to realise it should just be removed.

The thing is... there have been plenty of outspoken and highly visible survivors of school shootings for decades. How the hell do we exorcise this gray paste of untruth?

In English, "IA" is usually understood to mean "Internet Archive." Only "AI" means "Artificial Intelligence."

Well, if each book has its own docker container...

Hmm. Yeah. You're right. Editorializing by Slashdot commenter fuzzyfuzzyfungus, then!

You're not wrong, but first we must all take two minutes out of our days to laugh at the misfortune of political canvassers, whose methods should be illegal.

No primary source suggests that the effect would be partisan—that's editorializing by Daring Fireball writer John Gruber. The GOP letter, which is somewhat internal to the RNC fundraising effort, simply provides an estimate of their own lost revenue.

If you're an unknown sender, you go into the bin. Simple as.

> Europe kills about 50,000 of it's citizens because of lack of AC

You pinned 50K deaths on AC, that's not an accurate view of the situation.

Think about it more generally, there are many factors at play - diminishing tree coverage in the cities, lack of freely available water sources scattered around the city, rigid work schedules that force people to be outside at a time where they could have stayed at home, lack of regulations that allow only energy-efficient homes to be built, lack of subsidies for upgrading the insulation of existing houses, subsidized or free public transport, etc.

If you rely on AC to solve the problem, then what happens during a power outage (such as the recent one in the Iberian peninsula)?

Last, but not least - powering an AC requires energy, that costs money. What about the people who cannot afford AC? Climate change affects unprivileged people to a larger extent.
