It’s quite simple really: Trump has made billionaires a ton of money and his paedophilia has no ill effect on it. Huang’s affairs have cost billionaires a ton of money.

It’s never been about morals, just money

A baby elephant weighs about 90 to 120 kg at birth. So the density would be in the ballpark of almost 1000 g/cm³, while the densest element on earth is osmium at 22.570 g/cm³. Seems odd to me

Das “schöne” ist ist ja, wenn das selbst scannen mit einer App gekoppelt ist, dann lässt sich daran auch genau die Route durch den Supermarkt nachvollziehen, an welchem Regal man wie viel Zeit verbracht hat und so weiter. Das sind viel genauere Informationen, als zum Beispiel die Banken haben und die Banken unterliegen auch noch deutlich strikteren Regularien als Supermärkte. Da lässt sich dann super personalisierte Werbung draus machen

She’s defending Russia’s imperialism in broad daylight. She’s saying Ukraine is to small to defend themselves from Russia. If that argument was valid, who else wouldn’t be allowed to defend themselves from Russia? Belarus, Georgia, Estonia. Is Russia entitled to invade and conquer all of them simply because they are significantly larger? Ukraine didn’t start an unwinnable war. They are defending themselves and fighting for their very lives

I’m an embedded software engineer, too. While I love my job (for the time being) I definitely need to do other stuff with my free time. A junior colleague of mine couldn’t understand why I bake my own bread rolls when I could save so much time by just buying them, but I’m sure in time he’ll get there.

If they think nuclear energy is the best solution, the AI and data centre companies should just fund and build them themselves. The truth is that no nuclear power plant is ever build without public funds and/or guarantees. They are only ever profitable because of subsidies

I can kind of see why some NIMBYs don’t want wind turbines near their homes (don’t get me wrong, it’s still bullshit), but why would anyone complain about solar?

Ist Audacity nicht aufgekauft worden und effektiv durch Tenacity abgelöst worden? Das letzte, das ich von Audacity noch mitbekommen habe, war das erheben fragwürdiger Telemetriedaten

That reminds me of the old story where they positioned a PC opposite from the server and taped a pen to the CD drive so that opening the CD tray presses the reset button of the server. The PC would automatically detect when the server freezes and open the CD tray. Probably just a legend but still a great example for how a silly and simple solution that just works can often times be as good if not better than a sophisticated but over engineered solution

I think it’s crazy that he’s still at 33%. Here in Germany our chancellor Merz now sits at 18% approval and while he’s a lobbyist shill, commits blunder after blunder and I see him as entirely unfit for the job, Trump is still orders of magnitudes worse. I fear a significant share of Americans are completely out of touch with what freedom and democracy actually means.

I’ve said it time and time again: AIs aren’t trained to produce correct answers, but seemingly correct answers. That’s an important distinction and exactly what makes AIs so dangerous to use. You will typically ask the AI about something you yourself are not an expert on, so you can’t easily verify the answer. But it seems plausible so you assume it to be correct.
