The basic graphing technology used by AI is the same pioneered by Alta Vista and optimized by Google years later. We’ve added a layer of abstraction through user I/O, such that you get a formalized text response encapsulating results rather than a series of links containing related search terms. But the methodology used to harvest, hash, and sort results is still all rooted in graph theory.
The difference between then and now is that back then you’d search “Horse” in Alta Vista and getting a dozen links ranging from ranches and vet clinics to anime and porn. Now, you get a text blob that tries to synthesize all the information in those sources down to a few paragraphs of relevant text.
what if they all come up with that because it has been publicised
Then I’d ask who published and where they got their analysis from. Very possible that we’ve got an AI that’s built up a backlog of Harvard Business Studies and CalTech economics models to reach the ideal hypothetical tariff regime. But it’s just as likely they’re ingesting 4chan reposts of Ron Paul Newsletters and Michael Savage radio transcripts to build up its economic background.
That’s sort of the problem with AI. There’s no specialist-driven guidance on what data is valuable and what data is crap. No litmus test to separate fact from fiction or serious discussion versus trolling. And these western developed models, in particular, are very bad about including the origins of their graphed logical output (because that would make the process of hashing and graphing more expensive, in a system that’s already inelegant and resource intensive).
I just glanced at it and wouldnt know how something like that is even supposed to be, so I dont really know how unhinged the tariff rate thing is.
The problem is less that we don’t know how bad the tariff rate is and more that the people designing the policies don’t know either. They’re fishing for answers in the answer pond, and they don’t even know if they’ve got a fish or a boot at the end of the line.
Bribes to local governments and police, mostly.
Unfortunately, the people pushing AI are the same ones selling recreational flamethrowers
It’s great for getting off the ground in a language you’re unfamiliar with. But a recipe for technical debt when used long term. You’re inviting spaghetti code with some real hair pulling bugs.
Walking in with my pants rolled up to mid-calf and the knees busted out like I’ve been giving head at the local truck stop for the last three weeks. I’ve got a full head of hair, yet I insist on shaving everything but the crown. I absolutely cannot grow a beard, and I refuse to get a proper shave. I’m wearing a watch in the year 2025, purely to show off how much money I can throw at one of the only allowed men’s accessories. Neck. Tattoos. There’s a 50/50 chance I’m wearing socks.
The entire cast of the Jersey Shore is lining up to get my number. Everyone else is staying at the distance necessary not to smell the patchouli.
Several of the apps traced back to Qihoo 360, a firm declared by the Defense Department to be a “Chinese Military Company." Qihoo did not respond to questions about its app-related holdings.
I have to wonder if this headline would be received the same way if it was “US State Department Accuses Chinese Internet Security Company of Conspiring With Chinese Government”, as all this seems to go back to a claim by Trump’s 2020 department that Qihoo leaked info to the Hong Kong police during the protests five years ago.
Still… Qihoo 360 appears to have been an active investor and developer in Silicon Valley since 2014. Chinese investment in the US isn’t new or even undesireable, as of a decade ago.
But consider how the US has also recently attempted to seize the US branch of TikTok and block domestic sale of Huawei phones. Add in the domestic freak out over Chinese AI companies outperforming their US peers. This could easily be American tech companies trying to freeze out their competition on national security grounds rather than Chinese tech companies posing a military threat to US domestic interests.
Would there be enough land for the crops once everyone went crop eater
Yes. Even despite absurd levels of agricultural waste (40% of our crops go in the trash, in large part due to poor refrigeration infrastructure, dismal labor conditions, and market price fluctuations killing a harvest season) we end up with enormous vegetable surplus.
Fish, shellfish, and other sea life are still a highly efficient source of protein and other nutrients. Crawfish, for instance, are basically an invasive species byproduct of sugar and rice harvests in the Gulf Coast. There’s little reason not to eat them, given you’re getting them whether you want them or not. Same with mussels and clams, as anyone who has had to clean the underside of a boat can tell you.
But the degree to which pollution and industrial fishing wreck coastal and deep sea habitats absolutely does make it unsustainable long term. We could live to see a future without tuna or swordfish or halibut purely due to our aggressive ecology-wrecking fishing practices. So it’s less a question of “Could we live without fish?” and more a question of “Will we live to see the extinction of fish?”
C is just a letter
It’s the successor to B, which was derived from BCPL (“Basic Combined Programming Language”)
Incidentally, C++ is a reference to how integer values are iterated in C. And then C# is a pithy take on C++ wherein you’ve stacked two rows of plus signs on top of each other.
There’s often some rhyme or reason to these names.
American Exceptionalism, Baby!
Maybe worked 4 hours over two years?
And you’ve got 450k cans in the back of your pickup?
Sure, dude.
Chuck Wendig is a Tumblr stream from 2010 that somehow keeps getting reposted fifteen years later.
He paid for a down payment with seven years of manual labor earning less than a living wage.
half a million cans over seven years
If the cans are only $.10/ea, then 450k only netted him $45k. It took him seven years to earn just enough to pay for the deposit, not even the house.
Real Boring Dystopia Shit
Seems to be the intent
They have a price that’s still hundreds of times above their earnings. The stock is comically overvalued. It isn’t crashing and it has nothing to do with Luigi posting. Air is just coming out of an equities market that’s been hyper-inflated since before COVID.
P(rice of stock)/E(arnings)
It’s not even about banning people, it’s about the fact that Reddit was never a sustainable business model from the start, at least not in the traditional capitalist sense where you’re actively trying to make a profit to please shareholders
If they’d been stalwart about banning automation and keeping original, legit human content pure, they probably could have used it as a fountain of fresh data for AI, for polling, for engagement farming, and for promotion.
The site was still growing even despite the admin induced atrophy. But they just couldn’t resist killing the Golden Goose.
