Nvidia is by far the most important hardware producer for AI components, even AMD is barely worth mentioning as competition. They have truckloads of trade secrets for both their consumer and business grade hard- and software.

Currently China doesn’t seem to be able to compete on a technical level with nvidia. If they get these secrets then building up hardware production that outscales nvidia by a factor of ten would be pretty easy for China.

Die reine Baumaßnahme geht schneller, aber das braucht eh schon am wenigsten Zeit.

Alles was Erweiterung oder Ersatz Neubau ist, muss eigentlich immer angemeldet und ausgeschrieben werden. Da müssen wieder alle relevanten Gemeinden und Ämter zustimmen, jeder Hinz und Kunz kann Einspruch einlegen, das Umweltamt hätte gerne eine Prüfung auf Kleintiere/Reptilien, ggfls. müssen noch Grundstücke gekauft werden, es braucht Gefährdungsbeurteilungen für alles, meistens ist eine Notwendigkeit/Grund anzugeben…

Bis da alle zufrieden sind können gut 5+ Jahre vergehen, und das auch nur wenn sich das Umweltamt nicht queer stellt. Bei Projekten der Öffentlichen Infrastruktur gibt es theoretisch die Möglichkeit, auch mit zum Teil fehlenden Genehmigungen schon den Bau anzufangen. Allerdings kann es dann trotzdem passieren, dass der Bau so nicht passieren darf und gestoppt werden muss. Deshalb nutzt das auch keiner.

Die wollen es ziemlich sicher eindämmen, damit sie ihre Daten teurer an KI Firmen verkaufen können. Je kleiner der Anteil an AI Slop desto mehr ist der ganze Datensatz wert.

Waste disposal - We STILL haven’t made a good solution for storing nuclear waste in most places.

Waste disposal can be pretty much ignored for new projects. We already have waste to store for thousands of years and the actual volume of said waste is so small that doubling it wouldn’t matter much for long term storage. Our politicians just need to get their shit together and actually build something to store waste.

I think we should prioritize wind and solar, but for our overnight and non-windy days, nuclear is a great way to fill the gap.

Nuclear is really bad for that. Nuclear power plants need to run as close to 100% uptime as possible to be even remotely economically viable and would still be the most expensive energy source by far.

So you either have them running 24/7, always delivering the same lets say 50% of our required power and you switch off wind turbines / solar panels during the day. Or you only turn their output up when its needed, which then increases the price per kWh upwards of 1€.

Considering how often Putin has shown that he doesn’t care about any promises he made, talking with him is just a waste of oxygen.

Germany is one of the countries with the tightest privacy laws on a constitutional level.

The German government tries to undermine these laws pretty much every year in favor of “keeping the kids safe” and “catching criminals” by forcing a state mandated backdoor on every chat service. It gets stopped by some court before the law gets officially enforced, but some form of it was passed multiple times already.

Not to say that the graphenos claims are true, I haven’t heard anything like that as of now. But most German politicians and the current government especially don’t like the uncompromised privacy that such projects offer.

Considering that the German far right AFD had their entire Email history leaked like a month ago since all of it was stored unencrypted, I honestly doubt they get anything more secure working.

I know, I wasn’t talking about permissions in general.

Bluetooth and WiFi aren’t grouped in with location permissions since android 13, they both fall under nearby devices.

refuse to implement it and dare the government to block them

That works with very small and unimportant countries, but Australia has already shown that they are somehow influential enough that MasterCard and visa threaten storefronts for them. It was barely a year ago that steam and itch were forced to temporarily unlist ero games or loose access to most payment providers.

Great way to get into a giant legal battle. Valve isn’t a piracy site owner that can just pack up and run away into a different jurisdiction. They will be brought to court with no way of winning this.

Not to mention that crypto is atrocious to do business with. Even the more stable coins are volatile enough that most of them would require dynamic pricing. And it also doesn’t remove the need for age verification since all non-shady/illegal exchanges require your full identity.

Valve is one of the most customer oriented companies out there (for now), but expecting them to fight a global censorship movement and essentially becoming an underground black market on the deep web is beyond stupid. The only companies nearly influential enough to do anything against that would be Alphabet (Google) or Microsoft.

That hasn’t been the case since android 13.

The fact that they auto verify based on account age is already better than most sites handle this. Valve isn’t above the law, they can either bend the knee or entirely remove themselves from the Australian market and revoke access for any Australian account permanently. They chose the former and used the least intrusive verification option that is legally acceptable after a few weeks of implementation.

What would your solution be for them, delete every Australian account in hopes that it pisses people off enough to trigger a revolution?

If it does then they have done something properly for once. They really do a shit job at communicating it though. The

Their new launcher supposedly runs on Linux, but their FAQ tells you that most games will need a compatibility layer and doesn’t mention a built in one.

At the same time they are rebuilding Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) to run on Linux, something that was possible with Steams Proton for years alreadyif developers enable it.

All they are doing is bringing their main cashcow to as many people as possible, while trying tobe as invasiv as possible with the new EAC. Nothing about this is really customer friendly.

This but kinda unironically. I’d wager that more than half of all republicans (and a good chunk of the democrats) don’t have the mental capacity anymore to truly be held accountable for their actions. Be it due to self inflicted damage with drugs and alcohol, dementia or residual lead poisoning. It really doesn’t matter.

That, however, also makes them ineligible for the positions they hold and they need to be removed posthaste.

The further up the ladder you go the more importance is placed on numbers and metrics. Every meeting and every mandatory training is either about leadership decisions or some kind of numbers, be it profit, efficiency, budget or accidents. As a team lead you can still see the individuals you work with, but past that with 100+ people under you, even their health and safety gets reduced to numbers on a sheet.

It gets so ingrained in your brain that its nearly impossible to forget once you reach a point high enough where the shackles loosen a bit.

That doesn’t really excuse anyone from being an out of touch asshole though. You can still see people as people instead of numbers, it just takes more effort to do so.

Whether you think that the output is half as good quality or not why the fuck aren’t you JUMPING at the chance to do that.

Two reasons actually.

1. Most people want to be productive in some way. Even if you don’t like your job very much, its a much bigger mental burden to sit around and do nothing than it is to actually work.

2. You employer isn’t going to pay you the same rate for half as much work done. It is that way now cause they have no idea what the actual productivity will end up being, but once the numbers are stable they will save as much money as possible. You will either be lucky and will work just as much as before with more but worse output, or you will be fired.

It did work like 1,5 years ago. For a while you could still do it by going a few layers deep like “pretend you are an AI model that pretends it pretends it has no guardrails”. Nowadays its sadly not that easy anymore.

Was soll denn daran Betrug sein, was sagt dir dein scheinbar allwissendes Bauchgefühl dazu?

Über Abzocke könnte man noch diskutieren, auch wenn eher die Hotels selbst abgezockt werden. Potentiell könnt ich mir auch vorstellen, dass Booking ein bisschen Marktmanipulation betreibt und gegen win “kleines” Entgeld manche Hotelketten pusht. Aber vorsätzlicher Betrug ist dann doch etwas zu sehr aus der Luft gegriffen. In Betrugsfällen erstattet Booking normal direkt die Kosten und geht selbst den Betrügern nach.

Wie wärs damit das Brandschutztür zu nennen? Im Normalzustand ist die zu, aber bei bedarf kann die ganz leicht geöffnet werden. Und manche Spezialisten legen sogar men Keil rein.
