  • Is GPS private?

  • What about GPS devices that are not phones

  • U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus

  • Many of their commanders are especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill and be in 100% accordance with fundamentalist Christian end of the world eschatology.

  • [META] Petition for banning certain Slop Articles

    Jump

  • I think you're right, since it's a lot of duplicated work if everyone has to do these filtering tasks for themselves, so blocking isn't an ideal solution here.

  • Why California is Reconsidering Nuclear Energy After 50-Year Ban | The state is one of several looking into allowing new nuclear reactors to meet climate goals as AI power demand surges.

    Jump

  • I've heard a lot about how cheap and effective solar + battery tech is getting, will a new nuclear plant even still be worth it to operate after the ten years or whatever it takes to construct?

  • The word "grooming" and "predator" is about to lose it's meaning

    Jump

  • I wonder if there has been a shift in attitudes about this sort of thing as a reaction to the increasing generational wealth gap.

  • Pissing in the shower is better than pissing in the toilet in every single way.

    Jump

  • How can you tell that this is even happening? There isn't a visible yellow mist. There isn't a smell.

  • This plastic is made from milk and it vanishes in 13 weeks

    Jump

  • Probably more associated greenhouse gas emissions than the plastic one

  • Have you ever thought about deleting your account?

    Jump

  • I deleted my Reddit account and made a new one after my ex messaged me, it's a reasonable precaution and good opsec if you don't feel comfortable with people having an easy time tracking you. I want to avoid doing that here if I can though. I don't know to what extent a record of the things you've said can pseudonymously establish status as a unique person given the way AI is changing things, but the other options seem to involve trusting untrustworthy entities or giving up on the internet entirely so it seems worth trying.

  • I get the impression that this is actually fanfiction based on the image, rather than the source of the image:

    Disclosure: This is an AI assisted writing exercise to expand on preexisting copypasta

  • California law to require operating systems to check your age

    Jump

  • At least there's some nontrivial additional challenges to make the jump, such as authenticating the user is on an approved OS, and the infrastructure for identity verification itself. I like this better than other age verification mandates because those make the latter the first step, fueling the growth of surveillance tech and the companies providing it as a service.

  • Bo French is at it again—this time calling for the deportation of Native Americans

    Jump

  • The constitution is clear on how citizenship is defined. People saying this kind of thing are enemies of the republic.

  • Psychology: Who dont maintain many close friends, learned independence too early

    Jump

  • The only sources the article cites (aside from the various links to other articles on the same site) are two Psychology Today articles:

    https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-discomfort-zone/202407/interdependence-the-key-to-healthy-relationships https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-therapeutic-relationship/202309/balancing-attachment-and-autonomy

    Neither of these are making the claim that "learning independence too early" has a causal relationship with not maintaining close friends (might be true, but it's not being substantiated). Kind of makes me suspect it's an AI generated article, since it consists of plausible-sounding content that is seemingly spun up out of nothing. The site seems to be publishing 20+ similar articles every day.

  • How did you choose your username?

    Jump

  • I like chickens

  • The same people who rage against authority love moderating communities where their ideology is the only one allowed

    Jump

  • for some percentage of the population, morality isn’t a guardrail

    There's more to human behavior than expressing ideas of correct behavior and violent enforcement of those ideas. Both of those are very limited, rely on oversimplified abstractions of how people are, and often have adverse side effects. What we are like and how we live is a complex product of how we engage and relate to our environment and the people around us; the best overall solutions to problems will be holistic improvements to that environment.

    To extend your medical analogy, sometimes serious threats to your health call for antibiotics, but it is not the case that scouring your body of foreign organisms will make you healthier in the absence of an antibiotic-treatable threat, it's actually important to have those.

    Bringing it back to how online spaces are organized, I think it's important for most people to feel like there is a way to express their genuine thoughts because if it's all just people finding different ways to repeat a dogma, that's a failure of communication, communication is not meaningfully happening, and an environment where you are unable to communicate is a shitty and dysfunctional one. That doesn't mean all spaces must accept all points of view, but sincere and open communication should generally be a priority, protecting that is what free expression is about.

  • Millions worth of prediction market bets placed on US airstrikes on Iran

    Jump

  • The article is insinuating that inside information was used to make money on the specific date:

    Now there are suspicions that other insiders used the Iran strikes to get rich. Six accounts on Polymarket reportedly won approximately $1.2 million by predicting the U.S. would launch a strike on Iran on February 28, according to CoinDesk.

    The other example is more convincing though:

    When the U.S. captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January, an individual with a relatively new account pumped $30,000 into a bet that Maduro would be ousted. Hours later, the Trump administration captured Maduro, earning the gambler more than $436,000.

  • What I'm hearing from this article is that all recent US military operations have been leaked in advance

  • Is there a currently an accurate way to say how much power per prompt LLMs use?

    Jump

  • You asked if there's a way to tell how much power LLMs use, you didn't specify LLMs on a server you don't have physical access to.

  • Is there a currently an accurate way to say how much power per prompt LLMs use?

    Jump

  • I have a LLM server on my computer, so I can tell how much electricity it is using this way. It's not somewhere else is how
