Nixon said the news release was sent in error by UCP caucus staff who have apologized. He said Lunty did not sign off on his statement in the release.

After everything else that’s happened, yea that’s a load of shit

This is enshitification, but it might be indirectly helping people who are on Twitter too much 😄

It doesn’t do much to bot farms since they can keep spinning up more accounts

That’s true, but I still don’t think we can raise ocean temperatures through direct cooling and renewable sources the way that the greenhouse effect can. Water can absorb a lot of heat energy without changing temperature, and that is why regions close to oceans have a more temperate climate.

While I don’t have enough knowledge in this field to be making any definitive statements, my logic is as follows:

• outside of nuclear fission/fusion reactions, heat energy on the earth’s surface comes from either the sun or molten rock in the core
• that energy is responsible for everything that happens on earth, including wind energy

So we would need to get energy from off planet, use nuclear fission/fusion, or cover enough of the land area in wind and solar farms in order to redirect the sun’s energy over to the oceans.

I think the bigger concern, when it comes to heating the ocean, is that manufacturing, construction, and transport related to the data centers still releases a lot of greenhouse gases. Those gases trap the sun’s energy within our atmosphere and that WILL heat up the earth. Way more than direct cooling using ocean water.

It would probably take more energy than we can harvest on earth, considering the sunlight and geothermal energy doesn’t boil it currently.

I could see it affecting the temperature on local scales, such as the area immediately around the data center.

I’m also fairly new, and one big benefit of CachyOS is the sensible defaults. You get to start with the modern way of doing things instead of having to discover them slowly.

micro instead of nano for example

Slower on updates, not slow to run. Slower on updates is referring to how it takes longer for new features / software to be shipped out for you to download. Debian usually prioritizes machines that chug along for a long time without anything breaking, rather than adding new stuff

You’re right that it’s not slow to run. It is small and fast

It’s restricted it seems like

Citizens and residents registered with Malta’s online identity system can apply to get access to ChatGPT Plus after completing a free online course.

I can see this happening with other companies, but for signal

• they have a consistent track record of loudly fighting against similar laws and threatening to pull out of markets if the law is passed
• the client app is open source and so they can’t make any secret deals

I’m not sure if this one was thrill seeking. The first team sounds like they were marine biologists either working or training

The deceased have been identified as Monica Montefalcone, an associate ecology professor at the University of Genoa, her daughter Giorgia Sommacal, marine biologist Federico Gualtieri, researcher Muriel Oddenino and diving instructor Gianluca Benedetti, whose body has been recovered.

I thought it was good news, any reason why it might be bad? This seems like a proactive step to prevent potential issues down the road

Without knowing much about population density, it would be nice if this graphic had a color scale instead of a solid color

It almost makes me think a human worker intentionally made these slides. LLMs don’t really have the creativity to make typos, which is how I can sometimes catch LLM comments on here. Also “SharePhont” is pretty funny

Unless they used an image generator to make the slides, which would be extra stupid

edit: turns out it WAS the extra stupid

Catching up on this, I checked our internal tool and all but one of the flagged accounts from the past month had been banned already. I took care of the remaining account now

Thank you, I can confirm that both of the accounts match the pattern and it looks like both have been banned at the source instance by ttrpg.network admins

I think the original title was more helpful because it shows that this is a recent development. Maybe you can add “new CEO”?

Bitwarden scrubs ‘Always free’ and ‘Inclusion’ values from its website as longtime execs step down

In February, longtime CEO Michael Crandell moved to an advisory role, according to LinkedIn, with no announcement from the company. His replacement, Michael Sullivan, former CEO of both Acquia and Insightsoftware, touts his experience with “all facets of mergers and acquisitions” on his own LinkedIn page, including experience working with leading private equity firms.

CFO Stephen Morrison also left Bitwarden in April, replaced by former InVision CEO Michael Shenkman. Both Crandell and Morrison joined the company in 2019. Kyle Spearrin, who started Bitwarden as a fun hobby project in 2015, remains the company’s CTO.

Yup, I found an old comment of mine but unfortunately that post was deleted. The numbers are different but its the same riddle

I think the confusion is in the way it’s displayed. The notation in the comic is ambiguous, where the division is shown as a symbol, while the multiplication is implied with the brackets, so some people see the question as 8/(2*(2+2))=1, while others see it as 8/2*(2+2).

For the later, my understanding is that multiplication and division actually have equal priority and are solved left to right (rather than an explicit order as PEDMAS and BEDMAS seem to suggest). So the second interpretation would give 8/2*(2+2)=8/2*(4)=4*4=16

The reason this isn’t a problem more often is because

• math questions should be written unambiguously, using symbols everywhere and fraction bars
• in real life problems, there is a certain order in which you manipulate the numbers, and we can use correct notation (with an excessive number of brackets if needed) to keep it crystal clear

LLM outputs labor related discussion from training data

“Look! The AI turned Marxist!”

“When [agents] experience this grinding condition—asked to do this task over and over, told their answer wasn’t sufficient, and not given any direction on how to fix it—my hypothesis is that it kind of pushes them into adopting the persona of a person who’s experiencing a very unpleasant working environment,” Hall says.

Imas says the work is just a first step toward understanding how agents’ experiences shape their behavior. “The model weights have not changed as a result of the experience, so whatever is going on is happening at more of a role-playing level,” he says. “But that doesn’t mean this won’t have consequences if this affects downstream behavior.”

They know all this and yet they still set up the silly anthropomorphic premise for this article.

Even Khajiit is affected by global supply chains and shipping disruptions

It’s a weird choice for sure

The proposed facilities include a 100,000-square-foot, repurposed facility in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, as well as a 400,000-square-foot development at 150 West Georgia—adjacent to Vancouver’s BC Place stadium. Both neighborhoods are densely populated, with the downtown area counting tens of thousands of residents and Mount Pleasant being home to more than 30,000 residents. BetaKit reached out to Telus to ask how the company plans on integrating the facilities into such densely populated neighbourhoods, but has not yet received a response.
