That or something like it is literally part of the EU demand. Google has to pay the fine and tell them their next step to ending their conflicts of interest in 60 days.

Openai has an “at cost” azure deal with Microsoft. They don’t make any azure money from them.

This feels like a mix of “keep the bubble moving somehow” hype and a shot across the bow at Microsoft, who are in a nasty back and forth with Openai right now because openai wants to break its early deals with Microsoft to go fully for profit to get a large amount of funds from Softbank. Microsoft isn’t okay with that, as it would cost them exclusivity to Openais tech and various other things.

If you’re sure you’re going to make $1,000,000,000,000,000 as long as you hold onto 10000 pieces of paper, selling them for way, way less than that is very stupid. Even if it’s generational wealth, it’s still very stupid.

Most of the openai share owners are already millionares, either via the high salaries or whatever. To have people like altman, a billionaire, sell “trillionare” shares for mere millions of even hundreds of millions strongly implies a need to cash put at the top of the bubble, put those hundreds of millions in your hyped up pocket, and let the rubes hold the bag.

The other part of this is the marketing. It may very well be the biggest IPO ever, which will be splashy and loud and keep the bubble going longer, which is exactly something you want if you have no substance to show instead.

The jury basically did exactly that. They weren’t buying Tesla’s multi-year denial that they had the data as an “oopsy doopsy” story.

They found Tesla liable for $235 million. It’s the first case Tesla hasent been able to settle, and that’s a big ol’ number. They are going to have more lawsuits coming.

Sure. How?

Seems deceptively simple, but organizing people, especially people of incredibly divergent experiences and histories that may literally only share the traits of “is human” and “can code to varying degrees” is the complex part.

Saying “just do it right” is akin to saying “we dont need test or qa. Just code without bugs.”

People are easily as messy as code itself, if not worse. We need some kind of organizing principles to work together, and thats what codes of conduct are.

IT projects almost always have several different “correct” answers, which is why they generally lead to debate or discussion. That’s where a code of conduct is needed.

Discussion between “shut up and code” people and everyone else doesn’t tend to be a positive place to work without some boundaries. If you want people to volunteer for projects, you need to treat them with a baseline respect, and that baseline needs to be agreed on.

Did the feds charge the other people caught in the same sting? I’m not seeing any articles about the fed vs state charges.

China spending 1/20 of what the US does to subsidize cars isn’t relevant? Sure thing buddy.

The whole point of all of these “china is only dominating in EV sales due to subsidies” comments is to throw shade on China’s impressive progress in clean tech. A contrast of their subsidies vs other countries in the same space, motor vehicles, is entirely relevant.

You should learn about US fossil fuel subsidies. The US alone pumps almost 800 billion/yr into subsidising the industry. Total subsidies worldwide are around 7 trillion/yr.

China tossing 40 Billion/yr into EV/battery subsidies is basically pocket change.

They haven’t refused to charge him. He has a hearing scheduled on September 3rd.

The video is 2 years old. Any new developments?

Just use solar panels to power the ac to cool the water that makes the nuclear. Bonus points for floating solar arrays that cool the panels while shading the cooling water.

Extra bonus: you get to blame perfectly functional renewables when nuclear fails.

15k for several distinct hotspots in a city is pretty reasonable, depending on what equipment they are using.

Enterprise quality IT gear is expensive. Each access point can easily be 1k, and that excludes any routers/firewall/switching that you may need at each site. As an example, I’ve worked in places that had small retail locations that at a minimum had 8k of network equipment, with some locations pushing into the 100k+ range based on needs and size. That’s per site. The above is all in USD, but just equipment. Labor can add 30% to the costs.

15k euro for a whole city that includes equipment and installation sounds very fiscally responsible.

Home ownership is a public record.

“Blackrock” isn’t gonna give you much info to work with, unless you want to burn down the houses they own. Unfortunately, lots of innocent people live in them, so that isn’t a good answer there either.

Yes, we’ve had first master branch, but what about second master branch?

Check out mango. Its pleasant and has a really nice interface.
