This is missing at least 9bn of Tesla subsidies. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/musk-embraces-trump-scorns-subsidies-tesla-still-lobbies-us-benefits-2024-08-12/

Tesla’s first major manufacturing facility, in Fremont, California, was developed with the help of a $465 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy, repaid three years later. More recently, Tesla has reaped almost $9 billion since 2018 by selling what are known as “regulatory credits” securities filings show.

The boring company also depend on us government contracts.

Ok, but could you take him instead?

He probably won’t be able to do as much damage if he’s out the country.

The infographic says crop farming. Ireland is green because of the grass which goes with animal farming.

The chart is lazy nonsense that ignores most of the farming in Ireland.

Fucking nailed it. My favorite application of it is to brew espresso at exactly the right temperature.

Yeah, and you can really see this in image generation. There’s often blocks on using the names of celebrities in the prompts, but if you misspell the names enough it can bypass the censor, and the image generator still understands it.

You might want to look at Wittgenstein.

In his early work he went hard on this approach, and insisted that “hey philosophy is dumb”, just agree on the definitions and then chase through the implications.

In his later work he realised that this is impossible. Words have contextual meaning that is revealed by their usage and you can’t nail down full and complete definitions in advance.

What you’re talking about absolutely can and will never work. We have tried it and seen it fail.

To be clear they’re both shit from a privacy perspective.

Telegram has effectively no security by default. WhatsApp has better security on paper with meaningful end to end encryption. But Facebook still get your meta data and they scan images in the chat to check for illegal data.

That said I basically agree with you for insecure conversations. Telegram might have access to more of my data in a chat but they don’t connect it up with all of the data Facebook has tracking me across the internet.

Except that in industry no one gets tenure.

If Musk doesn’t pay the loans the banks can take Twitter off him, but then they’re stuck with Twitter.

It’s always lost money, but now Musk has driven off the advertisers and many of the high prestige users; got stuck in a bunch of pointless lawsuits he’s going to lose; and run up a lot of debt by refusing to pay people.

And Musk knows this. The banks are fucked.

As someone working and publishing in the field this is more a cyber jerk about American exceptionalism than actually true.

Chinese universities and companies publish a shit tonne at pure machine learning conferences. They absolutely do a large amount of research into the fundamentals of machine learning as well as the applied stuff. They’re probably the closest to the US in terms of having large firms that are prepared to bank roll the training of the very large language models.

Alibaba in particular has been constantly doing cutting edge stuff in terms of multimodal language models that are worth paying attention to.

The actual truth is that China does both kinds of work. Broad foundational and applied work lead by independent research groups in companies and universities, and focused application driven stuff for direct application by the state.

Google still stands out in terms of the amount of research it does, but this is because Google is different to everyone -other US research institutes don’t compare to it either.

Can he drop out?

Kamala had to be nominated before the convention to make registration deadlines in Ohio.

Shouldn’t RFK be stuck on the ballet? - at least in Ohio?

It’s going to be so much worse than pasting ads if it ever actually works.

Rewriting the search results with LLMs let’s you seamlessly mix the adverts into the text people are trying to read… That’s why I need to sip a refreshing glass of coke zero™ when I’m contemplating the collapse of the internet into pure advertising drivel.

Amazon are also dicks about sick leave. I’m sure forcing people to work, and work hard, when they’re ill leads to complications.

No. The problem with your current bot isn’t that the website authors have a particular axe to grind, it’s that they’re just in a rush and a bit lazy.

This means that they tend to say news sites which acknowledge and correct their own mistakes have credibility problems, because it’s right there - the news sites themselves acknowledged issues. Even though these are the often most credible sites, because they fix errors and care about being right.

Similarly the whole left-right thing is just half-assed and completely useless for anyone that doesn’t live in the US. While anyone that does live in the US probably already has an opinion about these US news sources.

Because these are lazy errors, lots of people will make similar mistakes, and aggregating ratings will amplify this, and let you pretend to be objective without fixing anything.

The app phones home to access recipes.

Maybe it works without access to the server, but maybe it just refuses to do anything.

It’s all pure CEO bullshit though, and none of it is real.

It doesn’t cost money to send a Bluetooth signal from your phone to a sous vide. Maybe the WiFi server costs money but it’s their own fault for adding stupid functionality that phones home.

I’ve got one of these and I’m prepared to bet money that almost all of their server costs come down to every recipe in the app just being a link to a web page with lots of photos. https://recipes.anovaculinary.com/

(Swiss)Germans are completely mad about food.

It’s their culture to complain about everything, except food. All they care about is that it’s as bland as possible and has big portions. If you manage that, they’ll give you five stars every time.

I spent 3 years living in Germany, and not only can you not get anything spicy for love nor money, they also don’t use herbs. It just blows my mind. They’re physically so close to France and Italy, but the food is so far away.
