Comment What does this teach kids? (Score 1) 102

My daughter was taught by Facebook to lie, because they required people to be 13 or older to create an account. Rather than jumping through parental consent hoops, a whole generation was taught to just lie about their age, because there was no real verification of age. Those kids now all have Facebook accounts that say they are 5 years or so older than they actually are. How does a French person prove they are 15 or older? Get their middle-aged boyfriend to vouch for them? "I, Humbert Humbert, do solemly swear that Lolita is age 18."

Sounds gross, but it is a valuable health reminder. I took my sister-in-law to the emergency room because she was feeling terrible after a heat wave. I kept telling her, "maybe we should stop and get you some water". What did the emergency room tell her? She was just dehydrated. She could have drunk some water and saved be a trip. And yes, if you sweat to much, you do need to replace the electrolytes too. People have harmed themselves just by drinking too much water and diluting thier electrolytes too much.

The demand is real... whether they can scale the workload down to actually make money remains to be seen.

Realistically, they simply need to increase the price which solves the over-subscription problem and expense problem.

Long term there are major benefits to society if they can drive down the cost of energy, cooling, and computational infrastructure to support democratized access to LLMs and diffusion models without bankrupting providers.

At best, that is wishful thinking.

I would just settle for a decent search engine that didn't require me to go to page 3 of search results (and forcing me to verify that I'm a human for daring to click to page 2 of the search)

Welcome to the shiternet. Fuck you because they have you by the balls.

plastic bottle has a raised or imprinted RIC, so they would need to run a separate manufacturing line just for bottles being sold in California.

Where did you get that idea? The issue isn't stuff at the bottom of a bottle, it's what's on the label.

Doesn't that sound at least a little bit silly?

Your argument is what is silly because nobody has complained about the plastic identifier under the bottle. This is all about what's printed on the labels.
