In some cases, aren’t the permits not even being sought? Eg https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/pollution-musks-unper...

Much like his earlier work Westworld which was also scarily prescient for modern times. > These are highly complicated pieces of equipment. Almost as complicated as living organism…

The competence threshold can vary according to the model's complexity and cost to run, but the broader point remains that having a human operator of greater competence that can eva…

If only they had access to a world class translation system, they could auto translate between languages effortlessly :)

I guess my point was that I don't see many algo changes in the commit history, which is a shame if this has been lost; library/* files are largely unchanged from the initial commit…

Not as many changes to the files under library as I expected to see. Most changes seemed to be under a single ‘add stuff’ commit. If some of the solvers are randomised, then repeat…

Locking down children’s devices doesn’t stop adults sharing illegal content with other adults though, so there would still be pressure to monitor communications between adults.

Conversely, buying pizza with MELANIA has left me with zero regrets.

What if while you were eating a cheeseburger, McDonald’s was magically replenishing that burger so that no matter how much you kept eating there was still some left. Moreover you h…

Isn’t the information flow being controlled by the few major social media players another form of centralisation where their algorithms decide which decentralised voices are heard?…

Worth mentioning the case brought by the DOJ against Meta with regards housing ads discriminating on protected characteristics in 2022. https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/just…

Or if they took my deposit and commingled it with company funds and bought some illiquid luxury real estate in the Bahamas for their staff to live in totalling $240m. If they’re up…

The swamp is now a protected wetland.

And even funnier in that context: it’s called ‘roundabout technologies’.

Is this as impressive as it initially seems though? A Bing search for the text shows up some Web results for Dvorak to QWERTY conversion, I think because the word ‘t.fxrape’ (keybo…

Although PA was bundled in with two other organisations in the vote, the vote did pass 385 votes to 26, so it seems there was broad support across MPs, not just the cabinet.

From what I've read, about 1/3 of all asylum seekers over the last 7 years arrived via small boat crossings. Looking forward though, about 90% of those arriving in small boat cross…

The UK did have compulsory ID cards, which needed to be carried at all times, during both World Wars.

Depends on if you are looking at this in terms of numbers of people or cost. The Home Office annual spend on processing asylum seekers has ballooned from just under £1 billion to n…

Seems intuitive: the group passengers are likely to have to cough up another 5-10% more at the time of check-in, in order to sit together, so it all evens out.

You can explore the amount paid out to projects by month, region and partner projects in those regions here: https://blog.ecosia.org/ecosia-financial-reports-tree-planti...

It seems they are also diversifying their investments into other climate impact projects like solar (see some of the projects here: https://blog.ecosia.org/climate-projects/ ).
