Blockade is an outright and clear act of war. Europe will fold and huff about it. China will not retaliate with military force but will permanently stop selling the US some resource that's critically necessary to some foundational industry, like they've been doing with gallium.

The overconfident tone is baked in. LLMs don't have knowledge or world models, and all text they produce is nothing more than statistical relation of input to output based on frequency of appearance and semantic closeness. Therefore you can train the things to lean towards doubtfulness (nobody will use them) or confidence (wow, it must be true if it's this certain). It's abusing the human tendency to anthropomorphize to sell a really shitty product.

They never bought the RAM, they put out a letter of intent to buy up to 40% of the global supply. Because business leaders are equal parts malicious and stupid, this lead to a run on RAM before prices spiked due to low supply, causing a price spike due to low supply.

A letter of intent is not a contact and is not binding. It's the equivalent of a New Year's Resolution blog post.

The fabs themselves work on multi-year contracts where the buyer commits to purchasing a certain capacity of the total production. If they expect to produce 100 million sticks in a year and someone offers to buy 40 million of them, it's still in their interest to have many buyers in case that customer can't follow through or backs out.

RFK's entire health policy is oriented around the false belief that all disease is the result of dietary choices, i.e. metabolic disorders that can be treated with supplements. The supplements market is unregulated and larger by far than the pharmacological market, but it doesn't really get a slice of public health money.

RFK is trying very hard to make it possible for government dollars to subsidize pseudoscience health bullshit and the easiest way to do it is by promoting the idea that the cause of good health is diet and exercise and the cause of bad health is bad diet and no exercise. Which isn't strictly wrong, but it is a way for him to crowbar in fascist ideas about people with hereditary diseases and the disabled and so on, while cashing in on that sweet unregulated supplement money

That's just defending itself.

They do but nobody can afford an engine in DPRK so they have to yaba daba doo their cars everywhere Flintstones style, so the parking tickets really rack up at the bases of hills since the cars are too heavy to pedal up

They've snuck an edit in but more to the point is that LLMs are incapable of automating anything useful, and if something useless is automated it'd be cheaper to just not do it at all

  1. there's no such thing as AGI
  2. LLMs certainly aren't AGI or anywhere close to any approximation of it

Iran was attacked twice during ceasefires, they have no reason to trust the USA would ever honor any agreement ever again

No Asians though weirdly enough

 

The way LLMs work is by approaching the most "average" response given any particular input. It's why everything written by an LLM looks similar and always has the same voice.

Anyways, shockingly, the Machine That Generates the Average Output is bad at unique passwords.

Of the 50 returned, only 30 were unique (20 duplicates, 18 of which were the exact same string), and the vast majority started and ended with the same characters.

Imagine that an LLM tries to fit its outputs into a bell curve of potential responses, with each character in the output aimed to be as close to the middle as feasible (with a small randomization factor so it's not always the exact same). A good password's bell curve ought to be a completely flat graph where any character is just as likely to be chosen as any other character.

Use a password manager.

 

Canada is dropping the EV tariffs and will be importing 50k Chinese EVs per year. Carney quoted as saying by 2030 an EV in Canada will cost $35k which is a sure shot more affordable than buying the latest $80000 Child Obliterator

 

Man obsessed with living forever spends 25% of his life trying to stop his aging. I've got a great way to extend your effective lifespan by 25%, you bloodsucking freak, and it's not by selling your supplements

What a life! He won't be lionized or added to their canon of martyrs. His writing won't be added to the corpus. He spent his entire adult life for The Cause and the hogs will throw him away before he's fully cooled because even the greatest among them are ultimately disposable tools to an ideology that forever shrinks the group of who's a human and who's an object.

None of the chuds will learn a thing from this.

 

I don't think pottery can be repaired in a way that restores function. There are no epoxies or glues that can repair it and leave it food safe and able to store hot liquids for long periods. It's just broken now.
