The song about that one guy who could've saved that other guy from drowning but didn't? Then Phil saw it all and at his show he found him?

Are you still alive? How's that blood clot doing?

I'm from Indy - no one is buying the story. The councilor is a complete tool who's hated by his own constituents and will be voted out. He's been caught multiple times making up shit like this just for attention.

Just a thought - if someone was this passionate against new AI data centers, why would they get an anti-data center flyer, put it in a plastic bag, leave it under his doormat, and then shoot up his door? If they're going to this much trouble, they want to stop the data centers. But they'd be relying on the councilor looking under his doormat and that his opinions wouldn't be hardened by this. Why wouldn't they try to kill the councilor, too? Why wouldn't they at least leave behind an actual threat?

What's much more likely is he either did this for attention or it was a drive-by shooting and he either put the flyer there himself or it just happened to already be on his porch.

Calling it a fancy autocomplete might not be correct but it isn't that far off.

You give it a large amount of data. It then trains on it, figuring out the likelihood on which words (well, tokens) will follow. The only real difference is that it can look at it across long chains of words and infer if words can follow when something changes in the chain.

Don't get me wrong; it is very interesting and I do understand that we should research it. But it's not intelligent. It can't think. It's just going over the data again and again to recognize patterns.

Despite what tech bros think, we do know how it works. We just don't know specifically how it arrived there - it's like finding a difficult bug by just looking at the code. If you use the same seed, and don't change anything you say, you'll always get the same result.

You know the one thing I never see mentioned?

These systems were trained on 4Chan, Reddit, Facebook, and Twitter posts and comments. They weren't trained on military communication, guidelines, etc.

They know more about Call of Duty than they know about actual warfare. What the fuck do you think they're gonna recommend?

I've got a toddler and I'm already planning on doing that once he's old enough to retain the memories.

So if I take a glass, fill it with cream, and put ice on top, am I now eating ice cream?

Even if I decided to call it that, you'd probably tell me that no one else would think of that as ice cream, even if I call it such or even if it's the technically correct name, and that arguing that it is ice cream is very pedantic for no discernable reason.

The book does have that. It recommends you use some of their recipes as bases for your own.

The recipe book also isn't that large - it has maybe twenty recipes, about half of them being ice cream (and lite ice cream) and the rest being sorbets, smoothies, milkshakes, gelatos, etc.

If you want healthy without it being high protein, look up the chocolate red bean recipe.

Tastes better than almost any full-calorie chocolate ice cream from the store while being much healthier for you. Seriously - it almost could be a meal replacement ice cream.

90kg is about the average weight of a European man.

Wouldn't be the first time. They got caught in a huge price-fixing scandal just about a decade back and nothing changed.

And again, where are the customers going to go? There's only so much capacity and no one's building new plants.

That's exactly why they can alienate them. The PC manufacturers don't really have many vendors to choose from.
