Social media in its current form is being used to unravel whole societies.

"The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyrany, and it is useless for the innocent to try by reasoning to get justice, when the oppressor intends to be unjust."

This may or may not be true, but that article is indistinguishable from a pretty low-effort Ai summary of three Reddit threads.

I was shown a full page interstitial for Meta Starfire by Kylie the other day, and it wasn't even the good Kylie.

I have doubts they know how to market these if I'm seeing this ad.

I'm finding this really strange. These laws as formulated are just straight-up universal identity checks for all Internet users, not ages checks, right? The end of anonymity and pseudonymity.

Adults somehow feel that they are excluded from showing papers because the laws "target children"?

I mean it is technically possible to prove things using blind attestation etc. but very few of the world's social problems have so far been solved by first choosing two large prime numbers, so I don't expect it will help here either.

Drive-by questions for any OpenTTD aficionados: Can anyone recommend a how-to to get the original MIDI music files working on the Android release?

The music is uncommonly good in the original releases.

The Dutch seem to just do the sensible thing and have mobile e-bike dynos. If they suspect the bike is not properly regulated, they'll test it and keep it if it fails.

The article keeps mentioning "unintended consequences" but I'm not convinced these are. Trying to come across as scary (perhaps because you are yourself scared) seems to be the whole point. "Get out of my way, look at how little I care about your safety, look at the size of this thing." The article mentions machismo but I don't think that quite covers the (profitable) pathology here.

Ai is great. The bubble will burst. We will keep Ai just like we kept "the internet" after the dot-com bubble, but we still won't buy our pets online. I mean London has pretty good train connections and stations because a bunch of companies repeatedly tried to get rich. Most eventually failed, but we kept the rails. I just hope we get our computers back after this round of gambling.

Almost complete inability to sink the ball. I though I was meant to get it to stop in the spinning circle? But it is impossible to putt a short distance, it's always a couple of feet, and when I managed to use the edges to bounce away energy and stop the ball on the circle, nothing happened.

He's trying to position his commercial space launch business in front of the apparently unlimited firehouse of Ai capital. "IN SPACE" is worse in every way as a compute environment.

Good.

I know it was just a convenient pretext for a learning journey, but do not come away from this thinking llama.cpp needs to be compiled on Windows before use. The GitHib project has a cornucopia of pre-built artifacts to use.

For some context, I think this is by mr.doob of three.js fame.

Just say I'm a sender who wants to send an email to someone on this system, and who also holds zero BTC and is justifiably deeply skeptical of anyone pushing it, exactly what steps would I need to take with this system vs hitting "Send" from Outlook?

That's a fine economic statistics operation you've got there. Shame if something were to happen to it.

Something this "shape" has been coalescencing since the first tool calls were done. To draw another Star Trek parallel, this reformulation is what Brent Spiner is during the little stares and pauses made before answering a complicated but constrained problems on the show. Onward!

Tldr: 5% - 17% speedup due to removing a bottleneck by juggling where on a GPU/compute core a computation is done during Flash attention.

The numbers matter. The thermal budget a satellite is an tightly controlled thing. Large modern ones are in the order of a few to a couple of 10s of kilowatts, so something like a few to several low 10s of modern GPU compute power. Even with thousands of yet to be designed or launched satellites, it's going to have trouble competing with even a single current DC, plus it is in SAPCE for some reason, so everything is more expensive for lots of reasons.

I don't think that was the point being made by GearSkeptic, the video creator. It was a demonstration to the lay person who may not be familiar with what 5W "looked like".

I don't think so (either by the vibe/tone of the guy portrayed in the video or from my searches.)
