If there’s an edit that alters a detail that doesn’t matter to the witness, it probably isn’t important. And that kind of replacement is hard to do at scale without getting caught.

What you end up stuck doing is deciding to trust particular sources. This makes it a lot harder to establish a shared reality

Let’s say it halved. That’s visible light, which at low wattage, is harmless.

If it quadrupled, its still infrared. Also harmless at those wattages

Remember here: youre dealing with something that is less harmful than visible light. So whatever fear you have must be much worse when it comes to things like daylight, indoor lighting, headlights, etc

Here’s the thing: wavelengths shorter than visible light cause cancer. Wavelengths longer…don’t. They’re using the long wavelengths.

Tesla robotaxis had a string of crashes their first day

There is a very large safety difference between Waymo and Tesla robotaxis right now.

With the UK, they can block content that’s known to be NSFW. With Mississippi, they get fined if kids access the site at all if somebody else on there sees something NSFW.

My understanding is that it applies to every site which hosts any NSFW content, whether or not minors can access it

The problem isn’t that the state is blocking it; its that they threatened to impose a $10,000 fine for each user who can access the site without first proving their age.

You can afford that risk if you live outside the US. Not if you’re a US corporation

Mind you, the Trump administration has made it much harder to install the cheapest electric generation available — solar and wind.

The way utility rates are set allows them to spread costs onto residential ratepayers instead of bearing it directly.

For what its worth, Anthropic posted this in their corporate blog. So if its a joke, its coming out of vetted corporate PR.

Given its current state, this is a singularly bad idea.

By customer is easy: they’re each renting specific resources. A fractional cloud instance (excepting the sma burst able ones) is tied to specific CPUs and GPUs. And there are records of who rented which one when being kept already.

You might not be able to break out specific individual queries, but computing averages is completely straightforward

You can produce a remarkably good estimate by looking at CPU and GPU utilization out of procfs and profiling a handful of similar machines power use with similar utilization and workloads.

Network is less than 5% of power use for non-GPU loads; probably less for GPU.

Data center demand has created huge backlog of gas turbine orders. They’re not planning on renewables for the next big expansion

They know exactly what the power consumption of that hardware is though. This isnt tough to figure out just because you use a cloud provider

I’m guessing that there are security guards.

They also burn methane gas, not gasoline, which means that sugar probably isn’t an effective sabotage technique.

They’re probably more afraid that Trump will burn the company down.

Yes, it’s just some colors. If you can’t handle a picture with some colors, you’ve got a problem.
