Per capita, China uses about half the electricity that's used in the United States, but we're nowhere near putting in twice as much or even as much renewables as they are on a daily basis

If you look at the paper, you find that they are in fact using a generative model based on graph transformers (LLMs use transformers as well). There's much more there, but it's an example why "all gen-AI" is a bad call.

People need to focus on the business/use case, not the specific technology.

A hoped for bipartisan probe where you investigate murder and war crimes with the hope that the criminal self-resigns is pretty toothless.

For Patel it's just a matter of basic corruption. For Hegseth it's a matter of murder. Why take impeachment off the table?

If they can take time to investigate Kash, they can do Hegseth. To get more, expect more from the party.

Hey hey hey -- you're taking over Hakim's job! Let him be in ineffectual one!

And what exactly are they doing in the mean time?

If the impeachment articles don't go up, they will at worst have demonstrated their position and at best perhaps shammed some R votes

Did you notice how the case that they highlighted involved a teen with no helmet going slowly while riding on the back & then falling off?

I.e. probably not what you're imagining & clutching pearls about

What steps has Boulder county taken to reduce the permitting that typically leads to higher costs for solar in the US than incomparable countries? Is it a problem here? That's an opportunity to drop the price for everyone.

And the distinction is important because politicians who want to regulate AI need to know the difference and they need to be able to explain it to citizens.

So much of Internet regulation was complicated because of the tubes versus dump trucks level of abstraction that lawmakers used.

Exactly. But Google Translate is "AI" - the deep neural net (DNN) called "transformer". It runs on my phone and is useful AI.

What you're describing is an LLM not AI in general.

If you say that you hate all AI, or all deep learning. You're throwing out the Translate with the LLM.

I would argue it was journalists who didn't understand and didn't differentiate & most of the harm is from VCs

LLMs are the language models that people love to hate.

Google Translate and LLMs use the same underlying technology but I never hear how Translate will melt the ice caps or ruin knowledge

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.

It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

People react to the broader context, not just the instant image.

All the people in wheelchairs who replied were not, at that moment, opposed by a robot but they spoke to their experience.

Trader Joe's has a pretty good raclette. I overbought for Thanksgiving so I had already been planning on making raclette and potatoes for dinner tonight when I saw this post.

Including the essential pickle family. Also very very good with pickled red onion.

This might be the only reason tech-bro VC's would get behind proper bike infrastructure

Wait till you see how people respond if that was a human on a bicycle on the sidewalk and people had to get off the sidewalk to walk in the street.
