Footnote7341

I'm using grok to help bring awareness to black and brown and latinx communities that live within 100 miles of Colossus 1!

The current bottleneck on compute is power and zoning. Solar panels are 5x more efficient in space, and there is no zoning in space.

IDK what world you're living in, but in the real world Americans are the richest people on earth and richer than ever before in real terms. And yes international seigniorage is part of that.

It is technically possible for mandatory 15 minute support call wait times to increase total user happiness by lowering average wait time in the queue.

Everytime I use Gemini, the pro paid version, it ends almost every interaction with "This relates perfectly with <random personal fact it memorized about me> do you want to learn how it connects to that!?"

and it is just annoying and never useful or interesting. Hilariously hamfisted.

I'll be asking about linear programming and it's trying to relate it to my Italian 1 class or my previous career.

That has nothing to do with the point of my post.

Isnt this silly when you can calculate the chance of war in Iran by oil futures instead. Prediction markets are just explicit markers of information that is already being traded on in 100 different ways.

No, there is hardware based attestation, and it could be set by an administrator / parent for the user account.

Creating a strong image to adversaries, aka deterrent, is a key function of all nations militaries. But the US conducts tough rigorous exercises against impossible odds constantly. All ground forces are rotated through NTC and JRTC where expert opfor units are given all the toys, home-field advantage, and usually win.

We're still moving thousands of pounds of vehicle around a public highway to carry a 1lb burrito, obviously lightweight aerial drones are the future for food and grocery delivery.

I managed to write a fairly large GTK application without the GTK type system encroaching on my code at all. It just meant hooking a bunch of lambdas in where they want you to be inheriting from and extending their own classes to allow all the parts to communicate together.

In the end it wasn't that messy, but probably confusing for anyone used to writing dogmatic GTK applications.

Foreign countries are already banned from owning TV stations in the United States so this is certainly not a speech issue. I dont think its clear that Trump can really save TikTok without passing a law through congress though.

When did we start calling markov chains 'wave function collapse'?

Scalping is good and there is no such thing as a distorted price.

We aren't used to draconian internet control in the west yet, in China and Russia the population is. Everyone who's anyone just uses a VPN and uses western internet when they like. China banned western social media for the exact same reason that the US wanted to, they were just ready to do it earlier.

Ok thats nice and all, but 'a general vibe' doesn't survive actual incentives.

Aren't the civilians in Kherson largely Russian citizens according to the official Russian line here? It's one of the territories they officially annexed.

This looks really fake, especially the anglo-centric british-english list of slurs rather than American slurs.

And the list of slurs is so short and incomprehensive almost like someone made it for a screenshot based on whatever came to mind

This fear just seems ridiculous to me when you compare it to going on a train, bus, taxi rideshare, or just walking down the street.

Does anyone ever feel like they can enter too much of a flow state where you can solve a programming problem or an equation and not even consciously know what you just did and how it works

These plastic lenses pop up on youtube every couple of years, it would be a miracle of advertising if this guy manages to sell any.

The Egyptian calendar didn't have leap days, so the 0.25 days per year difference had their calendar rotate completely through the seasons multiple times. A leap second is small now just like a leap 6 hours is. But it adds up.

Such a vanishingly small percentage of the images its not even worth calculating. Of course search engines also contain these links, LAION-5B only contains links not images as well....

protect the kids!!! or something. Can we do a scandal about how many 'extremist' images are in the data-set next too? anti-vaxer, climate denier, nazi, religious extremist propaganda, scientific misinformation. Maybe we're all safer off using corporate models with closed data sets so no one gets any of the wrong ideas.

And I'm not going to support the inevitable law that has a LLM scan all of my digital communication either. no matter how they wrap it up in a bow of public safety. The world is safer every year, yet somehow there's more and more scary reasons why the state should have its boot on my face.

Yes words can be used for harm too, and there's very strict rules for how the government can regulate and investigate speech. I'm saying the same should be true for money.

You fail to see what the problem is here. The problem is freedom eroding banking laws that do peer into my fruit transactions. They should be first challenged in the courts. Calling for violence isn't legal either, doesn't mean we support the state peering into all my emails.

Why is it always child abuse.... I'm so glad the fertility rate is dropping so maybe ill finally get a breath of fresh air and we can do away with some of these scare tactics once there's none left to abuse.

Justify to me where my rights should end on the spectrum of trading someone a piece of fruit for another piece of fruit, or giving him precious metals for it, or giving him fiat, or giving him electronic dollars, or giving him monero.

please pick the point on that line where my rights should end and I should be submitted to bureaucracy, KYC, etc.

Yes bing image creator uses two different levels of filters, one for the prompt and one for the output. gpt image creator does the same thing, as does the dalle-3 API

People should have the human right to use their money anonymously in ways that they want, as an abstraction of cash, as an abstraction of human value.
