Thats so condescending. And stupid. You think there are not many data centres in or near NYC?
Moving them frees up power for homes. And it is actually happening, just not enough.
The other reason, it turns out, is greenwashing. More hydro-power in NYC improves their paper renewables targets in a way that moving heavy power users does not.
and a lot cheaper to just move the data centres to northern NY State, and run fiber optics down to the city?
"The space agency said there is a one in 4,200 chance of being harmed by a piece of the probe"
Who is more foolish? The author, the proof-reader (is that still a thing?), or the Slashdot editor who copy-pasted this without question?
I think I can improve my odds by staying indoors.
BTW, 600 kg is tiny. Skylab was 90 ton.
Eh? The use of plural "they" is kind of weird, since Caitlin is very much a singular woman, and identifies as such.
She has long been a political activist, focussing on tribal identity politics, a woman and a lesbian being more important than being a person or whatever the job was. So OpenAI can hardly act surprised when a scorpion bites them.
Indonesia, a country with such extreme relious ideology, the drinking age is 21.
Did you know there was a great show they simply remade with higher production costs?
Was the "You may well ask that, but I couldn't possibly comment." quote not a give-away?
But given the original was a set of 4-part mini-series, I would not say "simply" remade.
As for cancelling Spacey, they had no choice.
the situation became impossible for Netflix to ignore when eight current and former House of Cards employees came forward. They described a "toxic" work environment and alleged that Spacey had engaged in a pattern of sexual harassment on the set of the show itself. At that point, keeping him became a massive legal and HR liability.
Who decides what time zone a state is in?
In the USA? Aside from geography, ultimately it is the DoT.
But time zones are not at the state level. Many state are split.
"Permanent DST" is identical to "move time zones one zone to the east".
Somewhat. But under US law the former is illegal, while the latter needs federal approval.
But if you want to get up an hour earlier, just do it. You don't need to change the clocks.
M$ is an evil corproration run by evil people for evil people, why would anyone want to support that?
Hello and welcome to 2026. i don't blame you, nobody could have foreseen this, but apparently Microsoft is no longer evil.
WSL2, github, VS Code
The final season of "Game of Thrones", or the final season of "House of Cards"?
Sad, since both were so good once.
"You may well ask that, but I couldn't possibly comment."
Communication works because people use words with consistent meaning. You don't fuck around with that without a very good reason.
Similarly, you don't just redefine Greenwich to be your town, so that GMT is now conveniently the same as local time for you.
There's a congressional law that mandates any state that starts using daylight savings time cannot legally stop without permission
Not quite. The Uniform Time Act of 1966 standardises DST, but states can opt out by passing a law, having no DST and sticking to standard time.
It would stop then having permanent DST, like BC, as any DST must follow the federal standard.
And a good thing too. Permanent DST is stupid. Noon means noon. You want more evening sun? Regulate commerce hours to start earlier.
The result is that LLMs tend to go awry sooner than skilled humans over time.
An interesting comparison, thanks. Do you reckon Orgasmatron would understand any of that nuance?
AI models don't "understand" anything.
A popular sentiment, it seems. Can you please explain what you mean by the word in scare-quotes?
What is the intended point? I really can't understand what you mean, and I'm human.
Human understanding comes in degrees, from the trivial to the profound. Its not a binary thing. So I'd have thought the question is how much does an AI understand, what is the depth? For example, I often just need the AI to understand my question sufficiently to look up the answer. It does not need to understand the answer if it is common one. If it is a simple and common question, recognition can count as understanding.
Parent post is obviously using the word in a different sense. Does he actually understand that sense in a way that can be explained, or is it just a gut feeling?
It was originally called "Overseer", but their US-native employees persuaded them to change it.
You will have many recoverable tape errors.
