Indeed. I say bring in the Chinese EVs at a 50% tariff rate. They will still be reasonably priced, but hopefully will grant domestic[1] auto makers a chance to change their ways.
[1] by that I mean American. Here in Canada we may make cars, but all factories are owned by and work for American companies. There is no Canadian auto sector in truth.
It's always been about American dominance at any cost, including doing exactly what China does. Sounds like they've learned from the best! The US can scream all they want about others playing fair when they have never been fair themselves. This whole idea the world economy is a zero sum game is highly detrimental to everyone.
I'm not sure what "superintelligence" means. I'm sure the term means different things to different people. I don't see any way to ban what you can't define.
But on the other hand I'm probably okay with a Butlerian Jihad. Bring back real computers!
Why is one data center that uses hydro power relevant to the the original poster's point? Do you dispute the fact that data center demand far outstrips any amount of renewable energy being produced in the US (at least according to his numbers)?
Why would you think that? Can you answer that question with yet more questions?
As I understand it, the base model displays speed and other information in the center display (turn your head to look at it). The paid option puts it on the dash screen in front of the driver. If that's true, that's worth the outrage. I could see them wanting to charge a subscription for this "service" which would be even more outrageous.
He didn't say it would. He said it would offset it in cases where the lack of proper insulation means the ac needs to run more.
I don't think these systems are intended to sell power to the grid. There's no provision for a two way meter. My understanding is this is about offsetting household usage only. And 1200 watts is quite small.
Well, technically, we're letting Natalie do it, which is, of course, worse in every way imaginable, since she's immune to the sense of embarrassment that sometimes restrains him from acting on every little whim.
To be honest that was actually my first theory, since the bots didn't seem interested in exploring the rest of the domain. I suppose there's no way to know for certain. I concluded that it must be an imbecile's attempt at harvesting, though, because the queries weren't really exploring the string space in any useful way. Here's a sample:

The only thing this is fuzzing is the query string parser. It's not testing the limits of string buffers, it's not using interesting characters, it's just brain-damaged. The fact that it's also fetching different page numbers shows it's trying to follow page links and failing badly at doing so.
The site gets plenty of sniffing from garden-variety pests. e.g. this half-hearted attempt to find a framework or two that I don't have:

All this said... I've seen that spammers regularly misconfigure their tools, they'll try to register accounts with names like #[X:\LISTS\NAMES.TXT] and it only makes sense that some other cybercriminals trying to get rich quick have a similar lack of interest in programming shit correctly. Generally people don't turn to script kiddie shit if they have a personality conducive to putting in an honest hard day's work perfecting their craft.
Yes in many respects it's quite astounding it got to 250 years without something like this happening before. We're definitely in a new phase of American history. While the United States will continue in some form (Rome continued for a long time after the en of the republic), it's now a very different country now, and it isn't going to go back to normal.
Both the agent and the LLM model are running locally. There is nowhere to send the data for harvesting or training. That's the beauty of the local models. That's also the downside. They are frozen in time, their knowledge set at the time of original training. You have to download new versions every so often to get the latest updates, latest training.
They don't offer their 128 GB versions anymore do they? For the good models, 128 GB is kind of the sweet spot. 256 would be ideal. Back when they offered 128 GB models, they were $10k.
Currently sort of looking at a computer with the AMD Rizen AI Mac 395 with 128 GB of RAM. Price is slowly climbing. When I last checked a few months ago it was a solid $3k. $3k pays for a fair amount of Claude Pro which is all I use right now. I would love to play with local models though.
I've been watching the youtube channel "No Place Like Localhost" and he's been trying out the various open weight models available now and they are getting a lot better and catching up to the "frontier" models.
Are you fucking stupid? Names actually are useful, which is why we propers nouns at all.
Jesus fuck the supporters of Trump really are a pack of morally compromised halfwits.
I believe the plan was to give that sobriquet to Lake Michigan, in honour of its decidedly flaccid silhouette.
