Linux and Nvidia really need to sort out their shit so I can fully dump windows.

Luckily the AI hype is good for something in this regard, since running gpus on Linux servers is suddenly much more important.

People have honestly no idea about the early history of the US.

The pilgrims literally left England because they couldn't oppress people enough. They can to America to build their perfect religious society.

Many colonies in the South weren't 'fleeing' anything, they were fully funded by the crown with the goal of settling the land and sending resources and taxes back to Britain.

1. Hans has admitted to cheating in the past
2. Hans played a near-perfect game as black against the best player in the world who hadn't lost as white in years
3. Hans made some suspiciously good moves quickly, without much time passing
4. Magnus played a very rare opening that Hans was somehow able to perfectly respond to without skipping a beat

From these, many people think he cheated. The vibrating butt plug is unlikely, but what is more likely is that Magnus' prep got leaked and Hans was able to hyper-prepare for a specific line of play.

Every billion parameters needs about 2 GB of VRAM - if using bfloat16 representation. 16 bits per parameter, 8 bits per byte -> 2 bytes per parameter.

1 billion parameters ~ 2 Billion bytes ~ 2 GB.

From the name, this model has 72 Billion parameters, so ~144 GB of VRAM

They aren't the good guys. A lot (too much if you ask the community) of the fiction is told from the perspective of the imperium/space Marines, but that doesn't make them the good guys.

They go around saying things like "The rewards of tolerance are treachery and betrayal." They clearly are not meant to be the good guys, even in their own stories.

The problem is media literacy is so poor that far too many people look at quotes like that and think "that's a good point". Even the creators have put out press releases about how all the fascists are missing the point.

I'm not sure how the other poster interpreted this comic to be anything else.

It is an expansion on a Stephen Jay Gould quote:

"I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops"

What will actually happen is setting a precedent that Amazon's operations are just fine and not in breach of whatever antitrust law the FTC is quoting.

You do not get 'nitrogen' at the dentist's office.

You are given a solution of normal air with a small amount of nitrous oxide (N2O) to relax you. You are never deprived of oxygen, since the dentist isn't trying to asphyxiate you.

They do that to keep people chasing the new primaries from the war bonds.

The cycle is pretty obvious at this point: warbond comes out, weapon is god, weapon gets nerfed, repeat.

Chevron deference means that federal agencies (FDA, SEC, OSHA, etc) can regulate their respective areas without Congress needing to pass a law for each regulation.

This is important because Congress moves incredibly slowly, and there are far far too many specific instances that would need to be legislated - there is literally not enough time spent in session.

Overturning Chevron would make things like lead in gasoline legal once again - it was only 'banned' by an EPA rule, congress also didn't specify what actions to take in the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Respond Act.

The Safe Drinking Water Act, Clean Air act, and so on would effectively be repealed. These were acts of Congress, but the text of these laws does not spell our allowed levels of various pollutants and punishments for exceeding them, so it would be toothless.

In short, it would be an absolute disaster. Even if you think there are too many regulations, eliminating all of them, across nearly all facets of life, overnight is the worst way to go about this imaginable.

paying a peasant to work

Peasants (serfs) were not paid. They were bound to the land they worked, and were given a fraction of the harvest they produced. The rest was property of the Lord who's title controlled the land.

There was a (very small) artisan class where the concept of payment existed, though often it was payment-in-kind - smith the plow for my oxen and I'll give you some food after the harvest. Money was rarely encountered for the vast majority of people.

Haskell isn't really that hard to learn

A monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors

It's almost like the law doesn't protect equally

The porn bit gets headlines, but it isn't the core of the issue.

All of these models retain a representation of the original training data in their parameters, which makes training a violation of copyright unless it was explicitly authorized. The law just hasn't caught up yet, since it is easy to obfuscate this fact with model mumbo-jumbo in between feeding in voices and generating arbitrary output.

The big AI players are betting that they will be able to entrench themselves with a massive data advantage before regulation locks down training and effectively kills any future competition. They will already have their models, and the worst case at that point is paying some royalties to people whose data was used in training.

Sun Tzu isn't in that story, it is a tale about Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi from the Three Kingdoms period.

Towards the end, drafted troops would refuse to go on patrol, attack their officers with grenades (nearly 500 were killed this way during the war), and refuse deployment while still in the US. 50,000 troops deserted.

The lesson the military learned from Vietnam is that drafts are counterproductive. The civilian protests helped set the tenor in Washington, but it was the collapse of morale within the military itself that ended the war.

If there were suddenly 10 million more people in Alaska, they wouldn't have homes, water access, food, heat, etc.

Building out those services takes time and resources, and the issue with mass climate migrations is they are coming sooner than governments are planning for and will sap resources.

'Those people' are still incredibly valuable for YouTube.

They watch content, and interact with creators which increases the health of the community and draws in more viewers - some of whom will watch ads.

They choose to spend their time on YouTube, increasing the chances they share videos, talk about videos, and otherwise increase the cultural mindshare of the platform.

Lastly, by removing themselves from the advertising pool, they boost the engagement rates on the ads themselves. This allows YouTube to charge more to serve ads.

Forcing everyone who currently uses an adblocker to watch ads wouldn't actually help YouTube make more money, it would just piss off advertisers as they would be paying to showore ads to an unengaged audience that wouldn't interact with those ads.

Early heat seekers wouldn't reliably lock an aircraft from the front, since the heat signature is really only visible from the rear.

Something like this would almost certainly need to be actively guided, but then the RWR needs to be more expensive and that cuts into yacht money for the Lockheed execs.

Yes - this reads like textbook paranoid delusions.

While there are certainly cases of police abusing their authority to harass people over personal grievances, this level, for this long, and involving this many third parties stretches belief.
