There's certainly a bubble bursting. You only have to look at all the layoffs.fyi since COVID. I'm just hoping it's happening in a slow enough way that it's not going to take more legitimate companies with it.

AI is the next bubble. It will hit a brick wall either legally or just on functionality (maybe both). I can see uses for targeted models, bespoke to a use case, but training those is too expensive right now. General models are just toys IMHO. Unfortunately it's going to get a few years for everyone to realise.

To say that Israelis aren't the only people needing protection.

Along with...

Blade... Lazer.... Blazer... And I believe you've met my fitness consignulatory, Michelle

...because none of those groups are Tankies and they are all unified against Tankies.

Tankies aren't socialists or communists (not that those two things are the same either). They are the purist ideologues of communism, where compromise is defeat. Rampant in telling you why you're wrong, and why only the purest form of communism will bring nirvana. All without understanding the consequences of what they propose.

Even the Communists don't want them on their side.

The article uses Midjourney. Nobody is tuning it.

Facebook opening up to non-students was the turning point IMHO. Myspace was big, but everybody knew it was trash so not being on it was fine. If you wanted "a profile" otherwise, you needed your own page. That took effort, so only people with something to say bothered with it. Even Twitter was still SMS based and so only for hardcore addicts.

Facebook gave everyone an effortless voice and lordy, do people talk crap.

Yes. A diamond is just a rock somebody found. Same for gold. They have value because they are scarce and people think they are pretty (up until the last couple of centuries when we developed industrial uses for both). Nobody has ever needed a diamond or a hunk of gold to survive, yet they have value because we say that they are valuable.

Trials in the Hague followed by imprisonment of all those guilty of war crimes. At this point that Includes most IDF members, their leaders, and the government.

Actually bring consequences to bear and let other Israelis know that this isn't acceptable. Israel also needs to be cut off from the teat of the American military industrial complex.

Same standards for Hamas, but that's a much smaller number.

Any further sabre rattling is met with quick and strong sanctions.

Basically the UN needs to do it's job, but that needs America not to veto.

No, it's a melted down speed camera.

i.e. where it all began

Sadly, very true.

He was a troubled man at points in his life, and that takes a toll.

They are showing that the author of the tool has comitted massive copyright infringement in the process construction of the tool.

...unless they licensed all the copyright works they trained the model on. (Hint: they didn't, and we know they didn't because the copyright holders haven't licensed their work for that purpose. )

It doesn't matter if a company charges or not for anything. It's not a factor in copyright law.

A corrollary to what you're saying is that people assume that because you've replied to them, you must be disagreeing with them. Often I'll agree with a poster but comment to add to their point, only to get chewed out for disagreeing with them when I didn't.

69 MJ is 19.17 kWh. About 86p of electricity at today's wholesale price in the UK (£45/MWh: today is fairly average).

The research they are doing is great, but there's so much engineering to be done to turn fusion into something practical; something capable of running streams of pulses, not just single ones.

This was the last experiment for this reactor running it outside of design limits.

I've noted over the past few years, how any company that invests in R&D rather than pays dividends is labelled as "loss making" by the press.

...and then return it to his grieving wife?

Excalidraw is my favourite. Make diagrams look like sketches so that people don't take them too seriously.

It would be far better if somebody sold a single VPN device for the mass public to be able to access home devices. Something wireguard based could be so simple for people to use. Even better if your ISP had this as a standard feature which they made easy to setup Then none of these devices would have an excuse to go out to the company's servers. Any that did would be obviously spying and they could be shamed.

Copyleft is not public domain, and requires copyright law to function.

I think it's more that people confuse the Israeli government with "the Jewish people", when the truth is that they are very separate. The Israeli people are somewhere in the middle. There seems to be a bunch of them who are quite supportive of their government's actions.
