>"A DOT spokesperson told NPR in an emailed statement on Wednesday that the department "continuously reviews its policies to ensure each promotes safety, efficiency, and common sen…

Great idea and just a note to anyone doing this (as I just did) - Bloomberg will send a confirmation code to the email which you have to get out of the feed. Took a few minutes, bu…

As a Vegas local I'll say the criticism evolved into "I'm never riding in that death trap after I found out how they skirted fire department approvals". There is as yet no fire dep…

Footnote 20 on page 4: Footnote 20: However, maintaining lawful status in a dual intent nonimmigrant category is not sufficient, on its own, to warrant a favorable exercise of disc…

They just changed the rules for NASDAQ and they are changing the rules for S&P500. The game is rigged. Our pensions and 401Ks are being forced to buy this slop. They can't resist t…

There is one difference between first responders/doctors and the other classes (and the moderators under discussion here) First responders/doctors/CPS investigators see the worst b…

The tape copy protection article is also terrible with nonsense like this "A copy of a Novaload tape made on a HiFi deck produced a normal-speed recording with the correct audio si…

[citation needed] OpenAI have made this claim and maybe it is with API pay-per-use (there's also good evidence eveb that is not if you dive into how much a rack of B200s cost to op…

Nope. The only "all indications" are that they say so. They may be making a profit on API usage, but even that is very suspect - compare against how much it actually costs to rent …

I thought that too, but the map for the UK is very weird - there is no direct connection between what looks like Birmingham and what looks like Manchester or anywhere in the North …

Because we have laws? If you don't care about laws then don't come crying when the guns are turned on you.

I would say normalizing armed law enforcement wearing masks and refusing to provide any ID is utterly bad for the COUNTRY. Or maybe it's only bad for the people who get assaulted o…

What's the best way of reducing this markup if it were true? Not sending in aid (no supply = lots of demand) or flooding the area with aid? Seems to me, if the claim is true, Israe…

I've not read that story in decades - thanks. I got shudders just re-reading it when I came across: '“It’s too late to vid your wife,” the fasrad said. “There are three emergency-r…

1) you ignored my main point about children who cannot be vaccinated. Way to go. 2) with regard to gaslighting, should parents be allowed to send their kids to public schools naked…

No one is forcing parents to vaccinate your kids. It's just that in sane societies we say you can't use a public school if you're not vaccinated and otherwise healthy. A moment's t…

All of your examples tell me you need to find a wider circle of news to read. At the very least you're repeating propoganda. Every one I could easily refute, but what would be the …

You're probably going to have to wait a couple of days for 4 bit quantized versions to pop up. It's 20B parameters.

> As I pointed out, the US hasn't been getting anything in return for the last 25 years of footing the bill, basically since 9/11 You pointed this out but provided no evidence. "I'…

Read the transcript. "...the sunny places, think about Muscat in Oman, or Las Vegas in the US or Johannesburg in South Africa. So places like that get more than 90% of the way to 1…

The people of Greenland do. I'm old enough to remember when that was considered just "one of his jokes".

Rarely? Citation needed. But in this case the issue is not incompetent bureaucracy, it's incompetence put in charge to actually affect change, and be the exact opposite of a figure…

Becasue youtube videos now pass as data rather than self-interested anecdotes. What a sad world we live in.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to endorse it. It's a Bryan Johnson product.
