On the FAANG/MAAMA, he said explicitly some winners but a whole lot of losers, so you are agreeing with him. Of those titans, only Amazon and Google were arguably dot com darlings. Apple was pretty much left out of it and in bad shape, Microsoft did "ok" but was not really a darling of that bubble. Facebook, Netflix didn't exist.

The data center explosion has everything to do with the AI boom. That's the only change around the recent inflection point of growth. They were certainly prolific, but this is beyond. They are now demanding incredibly more power and cooling density than before. OpenAI by itself made purchasing commitments to the tune of 40 percent of the entire supply of ram production across all industries. Probably 75 to 80 percent of the recent plans would not have happened if not for the LLM craze.

Dating fine, but if going for a long term commitment, it may be rough to be in your 60s with a partner in their 80s. They have to understand if they are theoretically on that path and that their relationship will transform into elder care at some point. Also before that the older one will stop keeping up sexually.

If both see it as a short term fling, probably ok. The 46 year can probably keep up with a 25 year old in the ways that matter, and may have enough money for some interesting experiences to share.

I think there's generally always been some hackish way around, and the hackish way frequently changes between releases of installation media.

Also, when Windows Update deploys certain things, if you have a system that did this, you may get a full screen thing telling you to set up a microsoft account roughly "for your own good". Even when you bypass that, the start menu and notification area generally are eager to suggest hooking your system up to a microsoft account.

They decided that since Android can so aggressively push Google accounts, they should get the same scheme going, but Microsoft has this pesky pre-always-online history of being an offline capable OS.

Well auto fellating is the trademark tone of LLM output, which the email probably is.

Sadly I can't tell if this is a joke or not because I have met so many people who seriously believe things like this work. They are the ones who eventually get the most pissed when LLM messes up on them because they got the LLM to "promise" not to do the specific thing it ends up doing.

They generally evolve their superstitious ritual to something else that will eventually fail, like changing the wording, or making the LLM specifically include a phrase indicating a promise of quality. They also believe when the LLM "apologizes" and think that indicated self reflection and learning. Very few are prepared to accept that the LLM can go off the rails at unpredictable times and unpredictable circumstances, and their utility has to be monitored like a hawk unless the outcome really doesn't matter.

so far, really early days yet

Hard to say, because the notable people can't generally back down. They were called out as idiots and invested their whole public image around rejecting that. To backtrack is to admit they were idiots.

For those that more casually voted for him, well, they could be shifting. Maybe that MAGA tradwife silently changes their vote, but doesn't want her family to know.

a rapist

Yeah, but he's just getting what men should be getting, the concept of 'rape' doesn't make sense since women shouldn't have a say in it

convicted felon

That's just those libs falsely persecuting him you see.

let Musk destroy the government?

The biggest thing was this super liberal sounding US AID where we help people who should be lifting themselves up by their bootstraps

kidnapping and killing Americans and people of other nationalities

You mean those spanish speaking people who don't speak American good enough? Or the libs that deserve what they got for being libs?

sunk foreign boats in international waters

Yeah, those were some of them non-Muricans again, good riddance

undermine the constitution

Yeah, but imagine how much that'll own the libs!

pretending Covid wasn’t real and told people to try stupid things?

Covid wasn't real, and if it was, it wasn't his fault and I'm sure Fauci is somehow to blame...

he raised the cost of living

Well, that's where we are now, my 10 mile to the gallon vehicle now costs hundreds of dollars to fill up, and that is what matters. All to help out some jews that MAGA largely otherwise looks down upon.

Well strictly speaking the full name field is always there, but a lot of people have the full name "".

But less pedantic, perhaps require was the writing word, but same principle, put whatever you want in dob field, default to 1970 or something.

Yes, the key thing is it might have extracted useful info from otherwise confusing data, it might have mixed up info from the data incorrectly or it might have just made it up.

So it can be useful, if you can then validate the info provided in more traditional means, but it's dubious as a first pass, and sometimes surprisingly bad when it's a scenario you thought it would work well at.

For solutions that back on actually "verifying" the age by requiring credit card or government ID, those suck.

As described, this is an administrator self describing the age, which doesn't mean much to anyone except kids of people who apply parental controls to systems their kids have access to.

Accounts already require your "full name" but we don't consider that "full name verification".

This proposal seems to be in the spirit of least intrusive means to let parents opt into this stuff if they want, with no ties to identity compromising third party/state "verification".

Question is whether this sort of solution that at least gives parents some chance will satisfy the lawmakers long term. For the wave of laws now, it seems to suffice to self attest age.

Offtopic, but I just think the Dow is just the dumbest thing.

We judge the entire economy based on 30 hand picked companies. And that membership evolves basically to fit a positive narrative if possible. One of the companies does poorly and drags the index? Just swap in a better performing company!
