Easy, Facebook is an American company that spies for the American government. Tiktok is a direct competitor, so the US gov is seeking a ban to protect Facebook.

Why else would Facebook be paying a republican firm to spread misinformation about tiktok?

Facebook funded anti-TikTok campaign through GOP firm

Rivian is pointing the finger at EA. Shouldn't the car also be protected? Shouldn't it monitor the input and shut of charging if it was out of spec?

Competition is good.

Thank you!

Gasoline used in my car's life (215,000 miles so far) - 25,000 kg. Lithium used in a full electric EV - 10 kg. One is much less than the other. Steel in both kinds of cars - about a ton each.

Electricity for EV to drive 215,000 miles in 22 years (my car's age) - about 72,000 kWh. US solar capacity factor - 24.4% (actual average output divided by rated panel capacity). Average power needed to produce that much power in 22 years: 372 Watts. Rated panel capacity needed: 1.52 KW.

Output per panel: 550W from largest US manufacturer rated at 585W but allowing for power loss as the panel ages. So you need about 3 panels. Panel Mass 34.4 kg x 3 = 103.2 kg. Much less than the car, and 250 times less than ICE gasoline needed.

So there aren't zero side effects, but a lot less.

Need to be more specific about your equipment. Write down the models, then ask on /r/HomeNetworking

You protest too much. Lol, you sound like a Twilio employee being disingenuous here.

When it comes to spam, they gotta play hardball. Not like the old days playing cozy with Ajit Pai.

It's a new FCC now....

Watching the US congress grapple with technology has been demoralizing to witness.

Why not both?

Nuclear bombs are a ludicrous amount of energy potential, and if something goes wrong, it goes really wrong.

This is stupid.

How Big Tech is using mass layoffs the media to bring workers to heel.

There have been like 80,000 layoffs, that is nothing. There are 10 million job openings right now. The media is hyping layoffs to make it seem like workers are at risk.

You simply don’t understand the issue beyond what you’ve read, so technically your opinion is literally moot, although I hate to say that because obviously arguing opinion at all is mostly a fools errand.

This isn’t a black-and-white issue, but headlines and blogs won’t teach you that, because that’s not engaging, and clicks rule.

Your suggestion is like banning alcohol manufacturers because kids get access through back-channels and drive drunk. Nice making your acquaintance, nonetheless.

FWIW: I don’t use twillio, but know plenty of non-robo-call companies (that have hundreds of thousands of customers who also are) relying heavily on it. It’s as simple as that. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Nope. No sympathy for any of them. None, whatsoever.

If anything, their CEOs belong in jail. And they wouldn't be the first.

"Gee, people want powerful tools with virtually unlimited applications in their lives...who'da thunk it?"

Anyone can get around the checks through simple botting. You’re asking to resolve an unsolvable problem by burning the building down.

IMO your personal experience works more as a hindrance than a boon in this exact scenario. Objectively, you’re probably too close to it, tbh.

How is it compared to e.g. a Cubra born or maybe even the model 3 now with the price drop

I havent seriously looked at the ID3, but the ID4 didnt even make the short list. When I asked myself “why this car” nothing comes up. The competition is just about on par or better in my view.

I’m not supporting anything, because I’m not taking a biased/jaded/obtuse perspective on the matter, no matter how I feel personally about robocalls.

See the difference?

It's extremely unlikely that regular people will be able to run anything close to as good as ChatGPT for several years. Language models are far more resource hungry than things like Stable Diffusion.

The problem isnt training. If initial upfront cost was the only barrier then yes a free version would eventually pop up. The problem is that each query costs a lot, something that cannot be made up by ad rev so anyone running the servers will require money to run it.

>If you're surprised how quickly ChatGPT has taken off, you're not alone. Even executives at OpenAI, the company behind the viral chatbot, are shocked by its popularity.

>In a Fortune article published Wednesday, executives at the company said they weren't sure what to expect when they released it in November. 

>"I'll admit that I was on the side of, like, I don't know if this is going to work," OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman told Fortune. Mira Murati, OpenAI's chief technology officer, added to Fortune, "This was definitely surprising." 

>Brockman told the magazine that the idea to release ChatGPT for public use a few months ago was a bit of a last resort after OpenAI ran into some initial hurdles with the AI chatbot. For one thing, beta testers didn't know what to ask ChatGPT about in the first place, Brockman told Fortune, and an effort to create chatbots that were experts in certain areas flopped.

>In the end, ChatGPT amassed more than 1 million users in the first five days since its release, according to Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI.

>Altman has cautioned, however, that for all of its possible benefits, artificial intelligence can be susceptible to dangerous misuses.

>"The bad case — and I think this is important to say — is like lights out for all of us," Altman said in a recent interview with StrictlyVC's Connie Loizos. "I'm more worried about an accidental misuse case in the short term...So I think it's like impossible to overstate the importance of AI safety and alignment work. I would like to see much, much more happening."

>but their technician took 7 hours to arrive and was unable to diagnose the problem and remove the charging cable. The technician was so befuddled that he even suggested sawing it off.

I hope they didnt get electrocuted
