What I'm hearing from this article is that all recent US military operations have been leaked in advance

It's possible for them to stream to multiple platforms simultaneously, it's common for streamers to do twitch and youtube at the same time. If the tools make it easy enough they might do it despite no potential to make money right away.

You asked if there's a way to tell how much power LLMs use, you didn't specify LLMs on a server you don't have physical access to.

I have a LLM server on my computer, so I can tell how much electricity it is using this way. It's not somewhere else is how

Using authority for the personal gratification of feeling powerful

Valid worry, and I would prefer no such legislation, but I can picture a more optimistic outcome where this diffuses demands for more invasive and anticonsumer verification because it would somewhat address the problem of population scale psychological harm to children that there seems to be public consensus about. The sense of "something must be done" is currently giving repressive authoritarian tech an excuse to be implemented, and while there are strong arguments for why that tech is more dangerous and oppressive than it could possibly be worth, the arguments for how the problem can be addressed instead are much weaker. People often point to parental responsibility and the possibility of setting up parental control software, but this argument has some glaring weaknesses; the problem exists on a collective rather than individual level, exists despite the current possibility of parental action, and the argument does not point towards any real hope of improvement.

This all comes back to the reality that the way we use software is largely dictated by the design of that software. Defaults matter a lot. What I like about this solution is that it would work by adjusting defaults, not asking users to take extra initiative, and leaving ultimate control up to the person who bought the hardware. It would be possible, but difficult to get around it for children who can't easily acquire their own hardware, and so most of them just wouldn't, which means there is an actual possibility of it being part of an overall solution to the problem.

Whether it's the best, or a good solution, I do have some doubts about. Banning children from any participation in public discussion seems like a bad thing for a variety of reasons, and it's easy to see any sort of effective age verification going there immediately. The ability to check the OS for age category would mean an avenue for practically enforceable legislation about how online services must treat users by those categories, and most of that legislation can be expected to suck. And of course there's the risk you mention that the law is expanded to try to prevent the hardware owner from actually being in any sort of control. Still, the problem is real, and I don't think the invasive solutions are going to be defeated without proposing effective noninvasive solutions.

You can use a wattage meter between your outlet and computer. I've tried that, and the usage is around the same as a graphically intensive videogame while it is generating.

It might not be so bad if it was just entering the age of the device's user when setting it up, since in that case the system would be essentially just a standard for parental controls.

That's fair as far as accusing him of those things goes, but also maybe people positively associated with Epstein should be regarded with extreme suspicion and kept out of politics from now on as a precaution.

Assembly Bill No. 1043 was approved by California governor Gavin Newsom in October of last year, and becomes active on January 1, 2027 (via The Lunduke Journal).

Sounds like it already passed

Something about the way that garage is organized is so nice

Maybe it's just me but most times I try to compile a software project from source, it's gonna take a long time figuring out stuff not mentioned in the readme and I will probably give up in the end.
