The project would help OpenAI move toward owning AI infrastructure, although ⁠its ability to fund large-scale commitments remains under scrutiny because the company is unprofitable despite a valuation of $852 billion.

Fantasy league valuation, you fucking muppet. Go public, open the ledger and we’ll see what it’s actually worth.

I’m not an expert in law by any means, but isn’t this literally the case for summary judgement? The plaintiff is refusing to show up, so they can explain themselves in sentencing.

As someone with previous defense connections, I’d been wondering when we’d see this.

ITAR has severely restricted access to nav system tech export, but there was always this open question about reckoning position by visual cues rather than GPS + dead reckoning. We all knew it was technically feasible, but we assumed that having “visual” cues was further out because AI at the time wasn’t up to the task.

The answer is the same, though. Nvidia, willing or not, is now a defendant in an unjust war, and must be subpoena’d by the ICC. At a minimum, they should be immediately sanctioned by foundry specialists (like ASML) until they are prepared to account for how, exactly, this tech ended up in a Russian missile.

This is the guy who famously cashed a 13 cent check. Of course he isn’t throwing out the salary lol.

We need to all be eyeing the break glass solution: a general strike. If Trump subverts the elections, then we turn off the economy until fair elections are held.

I think you’re making a strawman argument here. He isn’t arguing that it’s a binary switch that has failed to throw, he’s arguing that we don’t have compelling evidence that the ends justify the means:

In other words, corporate leadership is starting from the premise that AI has (or will) radically change the business, and they’re working backwards from that premise to find the evidence to support this article of faith.

And this is completely true! Supposedly “data informed” organizations are trying to find a yardstick that shows actual, meaningful improvement in business outcomes from AI. In my own organization we have people touting LOC yet again because “big number”, but anyone who’s ever worked in software can tell you it’s an asinine metric to use as a KPI.

It’s inherently unscientific to start with the answer and work backwards to a satisfactory question. His point that this push is coming from the least knowledgeable of real processes- and more closely resembles religious fervor than business acumen- seems to at least warrant consideration.

Welcome to Lemmy! We have beans and corn and practical solutions to eating a salt lamp.

A few years ago I would have agreed with you, but after watching the US’s disastrous campaign in Iran I’m not as sure. I think there are quite a few European countries that could lock the US into an unwinnable conflict.

Blanche, who is up for confirmation as attorney general, wrote in response to a question posed by Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Mazie Hirono (D-HI) that “the FBI pursued all investigative leads in its investigations into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.” To Hirono, Blanche wrote: “Consistent with the long-standing principles of federal prosecution as outlined in the Justice Manual, several experienced prosecutors and investigators have reviewed the materials and determined that additional prosecutions are unavailable at this time.

Yes, as everyone knows, Epstein was the only collaborator and customer in his global trafficking scheme.

Well, it’s becoming crystal clear why Blanche is being pushed through appointment; he’s a bag man.

My company recently acquired another and picked up some interesting legacy infrastructure: on-premises mainframes running COBOL. What I found particularly funny is that this system has deprecated but still in-use legacy components of its own, like a telnet server, and that this legacy component also has legacy components that may or may not still be in use (character mappings for specific teletypes that different remote clients used).

I guess that at some point, everything any of us do will become someone else’s headache.

Are we expected to simply forget that he was in charge during the COVID-19 outbreak and seized medical equipment / PPE for resale, told people to inject bleach and take random drugs, and deliberately allowed the disease to spread in areas that vote blue?

Trump respects science as much as I respect him.

Epstein victim Anya - not her real name - previously told the BBC that Siad had introduced her to Epstein.

“It was a complete set-up,” she said, describing Siad as “essentially a professional trafficker”.

During one email to Epstein released in the files, Siad wrote in badly spelled English: “In This busyness I feel like fisherman some time I cache quick, some time no fish.”

It’s a god damned shame he died in his home instead of an interrogation room.

I cringed so hard that I now require medical attention.

And yet I’m sure these great thinkers don’t want to admit any of these territories as states, and they don’t want to relinquish their claims over them, so… What? They want to create an underclass of people on US soil who aren’t a part of any nation?

Disgusting.

More than 61,000 immigrants held across the U.S. have petitioned federal courts for their release after ICE stopped providing bond hearings, which had been a precedent for decades.

I don’t see how such a case can be anything other than a flagrant violation of a person’s right to due process. Any judge that allows this is a disgrace to law.

My company has been trying a new model when product folks cut through the red tape of “engineering” and just describe what they want to a powerful LLM pipeline and review the app in a beta env. Sounds perfect, right?

Dear reader, in the couple months this has been going on, these people have caused a dozen high profile SEVs due to extremely poor app performance, networking / kubernetes configuration bugs, bad scaling, observability oversights, supply chain attacks, leaking sensitive information, and cost overruns (on practically every resource they provision).

Some very well-paid people are scrambling to figure out the value that was generated by this pilot program; I’m heating up popcorn rather than holding my breath.

With a good weaver stance, proper lean, fingers over fingers grip, and firm isotension, who am I kidding this would suck ass.

If it seems incredibly fucking bizarre for a venue to have facial recognition cameras and a database tracking the sexual orientation of guests,

The surveillance practices implemented by Dolan are also enforced at his company’s other venues: The Sphere in Las Vegas and Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

It’s because the venue is owned by a rich, paranoid weirdo.

Wait, so the DNA found near the rifle they found in the woods was inconclusive until they added someone else’s DNA, and there were previously rumors that the rifle they found in the woods was not a match for the ballistic evidence recovered from the scene?

I’m not saying one way or another about the defendant, but the FBI and state are fucking the dog on this investigation.
