American editor of American magazine hosting American event deems America to be too unsafe to host said event.

American commenter: "Fuck you European liberals."

I get that some level of extra-punitive behavior is needed to not have to cry yourself to sleep every night, but this really is some next level copium.

The TDS argument is funny as hell. We all know about the racism, the bigotry, the misogyny, the groping, the rape, the felonies and the fraud. None of this is a matter of opinion, he either admitted to it himself, or it was adjudicated in court.

Yet, not supporting someone with so few redeeming qualities is somehow considered "deranged", and a clear sign of being indoctrinated? I think it's time to replace the lead plumbing in your house.

Yeah. All meaningless stuff. Penicillin, DNA, transistors, batteries, X-rays, radioactivity, insulin, who needs any of that?

I'd go on to point out that the Nobel Prize in Economics is not actually a Nobel Prize, and that the entire article was not about Nobel Prizes to begin with, but I've spent enough time trying to fix stupid today already.

1) A "price" is an amount of money expected in payment for something. A "prize" is a reward given for an achievement.
2) The article is not about the Nobel Prize, but about the Ig Nobel Prize, which are very much an American thing.

But yeah, screw 'em right? The universal response of the functionally illiterate lemming.

Anthropic should just move to the EU where the first amendment is just a pipe dream

They really did a number on you guys. Take a moment and google through various freedom of speech/expression indices and see where the US ranks compared to various EU countries. At best, you're in the middle of the pack.

And now you're arguing against a company that's in hot water with the government because it doesn't want its stuff used for domestic mass surveillance? Could have left some Kool-Aid for the rest of us dude.

Submission + - Does Apple's M5 Max Really "Destroy" a 96-Core Threadripper? (tomshardware.com)

Ecuador writes: Tom's Hardware currently has a front-page article making some wild claims about the 18-core Apple M5 Max versus a 96-core Ryzen Threadripper.

Reading the article, the comparison is based largely on Geekbench 6 multi-core scores. The author briefly mentions that Geekbench doesn't scale well, but doesn't really make clear just how bad the scaling actually is.

From my own experience doing cloud benchmarking for work, unlike previous versions, Geekbench 6 multi-core is essentially useless for large CPUs. Some of the suite's tests (including workloads that are normally very parallelizable) stop scaling beyond 4-8 cores, and the overall score can actually start dropping as you add more and more cores.

I wrote a more detailed breakdown of the issue last year.

Is this a new low for a major tech site, running sensational headlines based on such inappropriate benchmarking, or is this just the new normal?

It's even worse than that.
If their AI shit actually has the sweeping impact that they seem to believe it will have, it will be Viva la revolución! and the guillotine will need to be fed.
Very prudent of them to have some politicians in place that will keep feeding the culture wars, or maybe gin up an international conflict.
Need to keep the proles distracted, or they'll get ideas and might show up with pitchforks at your secure Palo Alto compound.

Anyone remember that time that Hillary Clinton leaked the IDs of CIA spies in China to China and the CPC executed them all?

No, because it didn't happen. There is no public record, evidence, or official accusation from the FBI, CIA, or Department of Justice linking her to that specific intelligence failure. Also, I think you meant the CCP instead of the CPC, but hey, gaslight on!
