  • What we need is robust decentralized multimodal energy production fit for the local area where it is installed and contributing to a well maintained distributed grid with multiple redundancies and sufficient storage so that incidental costs are minimized and uptime is effectively 100%. Energy is a tool and its generation is a category of tools, whining about people developing a better screwdriver rather than only using hammers is counterproductive when we're trying to build a house for as many people as possible that doesn't fucking kill everyone.

  • I don't think Gillis is pro-Trump from clips I've seen over the last ~6 months? Maybe I'm wrong, but I get the impression he's just deeply apathetic. Theo Von I honestly dunno--and I'm not entirely sure he knows because I think he's just kind of dumb guy (but relatively aware of it, in contrast to Rogan).

  • If you are "torn" on whether it is a good thing to grant a wealthy campaign donor unfettered and unquestionably illegal access to government and bureaucratic infrastructure, with zero accountability or oversight, and who has displayed absolutely zero competence at managing any public institution (and in fact has a record of incompetence at managing private enterprises), then I honestly think you're one of the millions of Americans who just needs to fuck off and stop contributing to adult decision-making. You're simply not up to the task.

  • I'm an IP attorney whose been pretty specialized in ML-enabled technologies for a decade now, and have worked in-house for fortune 500 companies so I'm pretty familiar with how these queries are often handled, especially at multinats. There honestly probably isn't someone in your legal with all three of seniority, understanding and keeping up with the legal nuances, and understanding of the underlying technologies. The overlap in my experience is few and far between.

  • Well, also if the guy was just dumping AI generated code arbitrarily into your product, that pretty significantly risks the copyright over the entire product into which the generated stuff was integrated (meaning, anyone can do whatever the fuck they want with it).

  • Are you actively having a stroke? You were pretty politely informed and corrected and nowhere in the above responses were you attacked in anything but the most mild and tame interpretation of the word.

  • No, it really and very obviously is not.

  • No, the best choice would have been to empower the one party that actually has, albeit often ignored but nevertheless significant, pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist members as part of its membership. And then to focus on improving that party and/or breaking up the duopoly along the natural and clear lines of opportunity present in the sole big tent party that's left in US politics.

    At the end of the day, there are no significant pro-Palestinian voices in the Republican party. There are in the Democratic party And that indisputable fact alone should inform a strategic vote.

    That said, people are stupid and I don't really blame non- and 3rd party voters for Democrats losing and the resulting shit show-- blame and culpability falls squarely on the many people who actually specifically voted for this. But it would be nice if those people would try to learn from and admit their incredibly disastrous error in judgement.

  • I really do think that a war of bald faced imperial oligarchic aggression would trigger the collapse of the union.

  • I really think this is wrong. These moves arguably harm large business even more than small ones because the complex supply chains that go into most large corporations' goods are getting totally fucked by these tarrifs and the supplier agreements locking them probably more often than not do not give them a clear out for situations where the dumbest motherfuckers in the country elected their chief dumb motherfucker into the highest seat.

    Regardless, the ones most hurt by this are consumers, and especially those without the means and/or ability accommodate this fuckery.

  • Ah, you seem to be engaging in bad faith. Oh, well, hopefully those reading at least now between understanding what these models are doing and can engage in more informed and coherent discussion on the subject. Good luck or whatever to you!

  • Regardless of training data, it isn't matching to anything it's found and squigglying shit up or whatever was implied. Diffusion models are trained to iteratively convert noise into an image based on text and the current iteration's features. This is why they take multiple runs and also they do that thing where the image generation sort of transforms over multiple steps from a decreasingly undifferentiated soup of shape and color. My point was that they aren't doing some search across the web, either externally or via internal storage of scraped training data, to "match" your prompt to something. They are iterating from a start of static noise through multiple passes to a "finished" image, where each pass's transformation of the image components is a complex and dynamic probabilistic function built from, but not directly mapping to in any way we'd consider it, the training data.

  • It's been defined a few ways. Based on registration and also self reporting.

  • That isn't at all how something like a diffusion based model works actually.

  • Basically it means a certain of Mediterranean-adjacent appearance. There is definitely a phenotype, but, like most of these sorts of things, it's a very broadly variable one. This is why I find it so frustrating when people racialize the the Israel-Palestine conflict. People with roots around the Mediterranean all look very similar.

  • The ADL is, and always has been, a metastasized cancer in the heart of Jewish culture. Find your local yiddishist group and tell the ADL to fucking take a nap on the beach at low tide.

  • That's because in practical reality, there are no independent voters. The vastly overwhelming majority of independents actually vote consistently along party lines.

  • The ADL has never not been a horrifically shitty organization and has probably done more damage to Jewish culture than any other group in the last 50 years. They're effectively a bunch of quisling fucks.

  • Blame them both for different but still similarly terrible things. Fucking morons don't escape culpability because they refuse to acknowledge how fucking dumb they are.
