I don't trust anything with a HQ in America any more. I guess I lack the imagination to imagine it being a good idea.

In my experience it does not draw on very long periods of data, so most of the time I will be at 100%, then if I spot bad content it'll drop significantly. Nothing really to worry about at all.

Mexico is not one place, it is many places. Yucatán has lower homicide rates than Wyoming.

I wonder where you think the cartels gets their weapons from. Mexico has strict gun laws. Or their money - it doesn't just spawn out of nowhere. Parts of Mexico are dangerous because they are part of an illegal trade route to the US, fuelled by American weapons and American money, and that is that.

Must be easy to get confused when you can only have one thought in your head at a time, and barely even that.

Mexico's murder rate per 100 000 is 24.9, meaning you're on average safer in Mexico than in Newark, Memphis, Cleveland, Kansas City, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Detroit, Baltimore or St. Louis.

Never mind that murders in Mexico are generally committed using American firearms, and for American money over drugs that are to be sold in America. Mexico's problem is America. So while we wait for America to selfdestruct, I guess they might as well get to work on public health issues.

Obviously not saying that cartels are not a huge fucking problem. It's hard to get good politicians when they murder anyone who resists them. But the cartels are in large part a product of America's failures. Europeans are not innocent either - fuck every coke snorting upper class brat who is having their pathetic highs at the expense of a whole fucking continent.

American government: Builds concentration camps

Mexican government: Develops brand new chocolate bars

I'm happy to see there are still some governments out there who rule in the interest of the people.

Large language models and "generative AI" such as Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and DALL-E are all just machine learning models. We do not currently have a real "AI branch" of computer science, we have a branch of machine learning that poses as AI.

No matter how good a machine gets at recognizing and predicting patterns, it will not constitute AI, as intelligence is different from pattern recognition and prediction. Even if LLMs can sometimes appear to be reasoning, they importantly are not.

Before the war, Europeans were obsessed with the Jewish question. The question was basically what to do with the jews who refuse to assimilate. The Germans came up with what they coined as the final solution to the Jewish question, which was of course the Holocaust.

Then, after the war, what do Europeans do? Do they accept that Jews can live among them as equals, even though they are different? Do we manage to leave this fucking Jewish question behind us?

Nah, we give them land where other people already live, so that they can have their own state and not bother us.

It's just another solution to the Jewish question, and it's rooted in the same fucked up belief that we simply cannot afford to coexist.

Israel was not founded against the Holocaust, it was founded with a basis in the same type of fucked up thinking as the Holocaust itself.

I guess this depends on things like location, soil type, and environmentally disruptive neighbours.

I grew up in a Scandinavian forest with a well, no filtering needed. Sure, after heavy rainfall the water could end up containing a few more minerals than usual, but it would never require filtering, and the house has been standing for almost 40 years now without sediments building up.

If they continue like this, their customers will be so fed up with them that they can lay off the entire customer-facing part of the company within a few years! Imagine how much money they can save once they don't have to deal with customers any more. Finally the AI innovation department will be able to focus fully on their work.
