riskable

Regulate data centers already! Make it mandatory that they be self-powered by renewable energy. Problem solved.

Finally, a listicle that could save ~~lives~~ Christmas.

Woah! How much money we talking about? If anyone wants to split it with me, you can "turn me in" 👍

I'll be happy to explain my incredibly boring, not even remotely illegal activities. Can't say them out loud here, though. That's for the FBI to fall asleep to 🙂‍↕️

I wonder how many times we can get the money? "Ugh, not you again! Why are we paying people for this‽"

We learned this lesson in the 90s: If you put something on the (public) Internet, assume it will be scraped (and copied and used in various ways without your consent). If you don't want that, don't put it on the Internet.

There's all sorts of clever things you can do to prevent scraping but none of them are 100% effective and all have negative tradeoffs.

For reference, the big AI players aren't scraping the Internet to train their LLMs anymore. That creates too many problems, not the least of which is making yourself vulnerable to poisoning. If an AI is scraping your content at this point it's either amateurs or they're just indexing it like Google would (or both) so the AI knows where to find it without having to rely on 3rd parties like Google.

Remember: Scraping the Internet is everyone's right. Trying to stop it is futile and only benefits the biggest of the big search engines/companies.

This seems more like a story about global warming killing jobs than anything else.

Of course, Trump's obscenely pro-oil stance is very Leopards Eating Faces.

The entire article reads like a comedy... Of errors. The ICE agents didn't know what they were doing. Didn't know where to go. Didn't have functioning equipment. Didn't know how to use said equipment. Couldn't follow basic instructions (navigation).

Forget the innocent civilian who was pointlessly harassed and detained for a moment: They are clearly wasting US tax dollars, driving around aimlessly, without proper training, accomplishing absolutely nothing.

It is astonishingly clear that ICE is incapable of doing the most basic functions of their job. Better to not even have immigration enforcement at all than this pointless waste of government resources.

This is the clearest demonstration yet that Republicans are completely incapable of governing efficiently. Or even governing at all! If they can't even implement their own Nazi/racist ideals properly, what makes you think they can do something as complicated as balancing the budget or managing a war?

They can't even get villaining right!

We're already at that point. It's already impossible to tell if any given function or class was written by AI. You can only tell when the code is large; where the architecture reached the point where AI couldn't keep it all inside the context window.

Eventually the AI will write better code than humans and that's when policies like this will seem very short sighted.

So basically... There's was no justice for rich people in the past either.

All my dogs wear their collars at all times unless they're getting washed. Don't want to risk the situation where they get out of the yard because someone left the gate open.

They're all microchipped, but that requires taking them to a vet to get their info. Much better to see the name and phone number embroidered into the collar.

My dogs can come and go inside/out back as they please: I installed an automatic door opener and hooked up motion sensors on either side, down low (dog height). They know to put their nose under the sensor to let themselves in and out (to the back patio).

Whenever another dog ~~sounds the alarm~~ barks, they all spread out and cover every area of the yard with ~~additional alarms~~ extra barking. Letting the whole neighborhood know that ~~the visibility perimeter has been breached~~ we're getting a delivery.

We need oil to be more expensive but energy to be cheaper. Then more energy-intensive but more environmentally friendly alternatives can be used instead of (traditional) plastic.

Example: If energy was basically unlimited and free, suddenly the weight of glass as a product container doesn't matter so much anymore. Same for steel and weirder things like products made out of thick, industrially-pressed fungus (which is a real thing, haha).
