  • maybe, but logging trucks are second only to hay trucks in rate and lethality of dropped load. It's a really good and basic safety practice, the movie didnt come up with the idea of logging truck accidents.

  • Using GPT-4 to generate 100 words consumes up to 3 bottles of water — AI data centers also raise power and water bills for nearby residents
  • water supply is a limited resource, everyone here appears to be focusing on the wrong thing. when a data center uses water in its cooling noops, that water is made inaccessible anywhere else, such as agriculture, natural habitats, drinking. it does not matter (directly) that the water technically is potable or not after use. Very little water ever leaves the earth system, yet drought exists.

  • "We need warriors, gunmen, stormtroopers:" Russia revives Soviet-style youth indoctrination as it eyes ‘forever war’ with Ukraine and the West
  • Just going to point out: russian culture doesnt use nazi in the same way we do; largely they dont view nazis as ontologically bad because of the bigotry or the antisemitism or the genocide of many peoples, but because they were an existential threat to russia or russian ethnicities. a lot of the associations westerners have about nazis are just not widespread in russia. this is why there are a lot of seemingly idiosyncratic phrasings in this kind of stuff.

  • see certain optical illusions in a way that other vision models cannot.

    eh… but not in a way that is really like what humans see. which is the articles claim, but it makes a clasically cs approach to nuerology: zero effort to prove the quite substantial claim.

    Word soup

    that is most certainly not word soup. it's also an accurate statement, though uncharitable to the authors claims.

    Also, the detail in description of their "quantum" inspiration (an effect not unique to quantum mechanics in fact, at that level of description) reads like they skimmed wikipedia's intro to xyz topic, whether or not the author understands the topics more deeply.

  • Having a seizure? Let me taze you
  • police are essentially unneeded in a society that treats its members with compassion. That role is better handled by social workers. Defunding the police seems like a dumb idea to people principally unconcerned with compassion, but extremely concerned with a governmental occupationary force who, in a fit of paranoia, cant imagine that maybe humans arent rabidly violent without a looming threat of violence. One might in fact imagine that police themselves are responsible in part and often in whole for the many systemic failures that appear to justify them at their incredible unrivaled level of funding to you.

    Also, you described reforms that would necessarily involve defunding the police. You agree with the position but think you dont because of the soundbite.
