This is kind of like saying that car wrecks wouldn't happen if we had training and standards that excluded 95% of drivers
More like 99.99%. Maybe need some more nines in there. Large C codebases without regular critical CVEs are basically nonexistent.
Sam et al warn us to take actions that will save them from bankruptcy
What bankruptcy-prevention actions are they asking for?
15-25 kWh drawn by the utility is quite a bit! I hope they're paying him well for that.
Monopolist wants the competition to slow down while they speed up in secret.
They're bringing outside scrutiny into their processes; that's going to slow them down, too.
A few days ago there was a story about how an AI store was failing horribly. It can't do that, but at the same time will destroy us?
Not "at the same time". You're conflating what AI can do now with what it will likely be able to do in a year or five, or 20.
Amodei and others are worried about what AI that doesn't yet exist may do, not about what current-generation AI can do. AI is getting better, very quickly, and unless there's some blocking obstacle that no one has been able to identify will at some point become far, far smarter than humans, individually or collectively. So before that happens, we need to figure out how to make sure that superintelligent AI wants to help us, and wants to do it in the right way.
The rebates on the batteries you earn over time, and to do so you must export some of your stored battery power back to the grid during peak hours.
Is this actually a substantial amount of energy? I'm in Utah (Rocky Mountain Power) and RMP also pays me to use my batteries... but the amount of energy they draw is tiny. 8-10 times per week they draw on my batteries, but it's like 4 kW peak draw (my batteries can sustain 20 kW), and generally for less than 30 seconds, so in any given week I'm only contributing like 0.2 kWh. As I understand it, this is because RMP uses my batteries not really to "serve loads", per se, but just as grid stabilization; brief backfill to keep the voltage from sagging.
Obviously my batteries do serve *my* loads, which reduces the load on the grid, but that's not what RMP pays me for.
Does CA make heavier use of residential batteries to feed the grid?
Most of his donations were to Democrats, so he has no chance for that. https://time.com/6241262/sam-b...
And JD Vance called him Hitler. Trump accepts changes of heart as long as they include sufficient groveling and self-humiliation. SBF's problem is he doesn't currently have any money, and doesn't have a lot of friends to put up cash for him either. If SCOTUS will overturn his fine on a technicality and he can get some or all of that money back, then he'll have the cash to buy a pardon. Obviously he needs to get it done in the next 2 years, four months.
Like another pseudonym makes a difference or changes the value of what I said.
The fact that you're unwilling to pay the incredibly low price of attaching even a pseudonym to your statement speaks volumes. Not even by mentioning it in your AC post.
Informing a woman, her menstrual period is late, is a mixed blessing in some countries: The government would like to get its hands on that data, in order to enforce its religious in-sensibilities upon her. Women with an Apple watch need to worry how committed Apple is, to privacy: If the government demands such data is forwarded to the government, Apple will fold faster than a cheap suit.
To be able to deny this to theocratic neofascist governments like Texas, the data is not available to Apple - it is stored encrypted on the device, and protected with end to end encryption so Apple can't read it. Easier to just subpoena all cell records of fertile women, and see if they are near women's health care locations out of state. Or just deny them the possibility of leaving the state at all.
Not a lawyer, but I don't think intent is necessary for it to be criminal. Negligence and can also have severe consequences that can be criminal.
"Negligence" isn't a magic word that you can say to remove intentionality requirement from any crime law, as you seem to think it is.
"Negligence"/"carelessness" vs "intent" is a difference between manslaughter and premeditated murder, to give one example.
Another: Let's say that you run a popular bar, and you've neglected a lot of regulations - a fire happens, and many die. You can and should be held accountable for that, even if you didn't intend to kill them.
"Carelessness", not "can". Looked ok when I pressed submit.

...why a company with a 4 trillion dollar market capitalization and a quarter of a trillion dollars in cash needs to borrow lass than two billion dollars from the government?
Because it's almost always better to spend someone else's money than your own. Failing that, it's almost always better to spend future money rather than current money. The "almosts" are there because the terms have to be scrutinized, but if the terms are good... you hang onto the cash and revenues you have. Having cash gives you flexibility and enables you to take better advantage of opportunities. And if you end up not needing the cash for anything, you can always invest it. This may not be the first rule of business, but it's got to be in the top ten.
It's honestly a good rule for personal finances, as well. If someone offers you a million dollar loan at 2% interest, your immediate answer should be "Can I get more"? And for more quotidian stuff, it's better to front-load income and defer expenses whenever and wherever possible. Pay bills when they're due, not when they arrive. Use a credit card and pay the balance off every month, letting you keep your money in your account for longer, interest-free. These strategies allow you to make some money by investing it, of course, but mostly it gives you flexibility if you need it. Which if you have decent savings you never should... but it's still better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
System checkpoint complete.
