He also used an AI video to hide his location.

Oh? Does Ben Shepeepee espouse similarly heinous views and is now scared his rhetoric will come back to bite him as it did his fellow “Great American Patriot?”

Ah, yes, highway sounds

Or the Whitehouse kept an open line with the hospital and Trump lacks the decency to let the family make the announcement on their own terms.

Pretty sure his “truth” avatar is a violation of the flag code.

I don’t fear poor health of POTUS.

On a “respond to an individual query” level, yeah it’s not that much. But prior to response the data center had to be constructed, the entire web had to be scraped, the models trained, the servers continually ran regardless of load. There’s also way too many “hidden” queries across the web in general from companies trying to summarize every email or product.

All of that adds to the energy costs. This equivocation is meant to make people feel less bad about the energy impact of using AI, when so much of the cost is in building AI.

Furthermore, that’s the median value–the one that falls right in the middle of the quantity of queries. There’s a limit to how much less energy a query to the left of the median can use; there’s a significantly higher runway to the right of the median for excess energy use. This also only accounted for text queries; images and video generation efforts are gonna use a lot more.

There are zero downsides when mentally associating an energy hog with “1 second of use time of the device that is routinely used for minutes at a time.”

I think you have blatant security holes that threaten your bottom line and your customers.

• I ask a website for content.
• The website gives me content and a side of shit.
• I instruct my intelligent butler to discard the shit and only give me the content I requested.
• I get only the content I requested.

If a website wants to run ads that’s fine, I’ll just remove them. If they want to gate their content behind a paywall that’s fine, I’ll just make a determination about whether or not what they offer is worth it.

Removing ads is not “breaking a website” if anything it’s the exact opposite–restoring a cleaner layout, faster loading, less privacy invasion, and a reduced chance of malware.

Conversations about impeachment just aren’t complete without the man who was impeached the best and the most!

My family always told me that I’d grow more conservative and want a family of my own as I grow older.

As I aged I went from ambivalence toward politics and kids to decidedly anti-conservative and anti-kid.

You know your own feelings on the matter more than your family does, and letting your family dictate how you live your life will lead to resentment and misery.

Relying on a small child to stay on the ground in order to not accidentally kill themselves is a great way to end up with a dead kid.

Furniture should be anchored to a wall, guns locked in safes with the safety enabled and ammo removed, drugs in child resistant packaging locked in a cabinet, drawers and cabinets secured, etc.

Kids climb stuff, get into things, find things they shouldn’t, AND they emulate what they see their parents do. Putting something out of reach is nowhere near secure enough.

Guns should also be left in the open for children to play with since we’re on the topic of easy things we can change to threaten the life of those that may not know better yet!

WiFi uses a subset of the significantly wider microwave band. Ground Penetrating Radar also uses a subset of the microwave band. While there can be some overlap, the frequencies desired for GPR will very broadly based on what you are looking for, what you are looking in, and how deep you are looking for that thing. The wattage supplied can also differ.

WiFi and Microwaves in general are most definitely not the same thing and I will absolutely encourage you to not set up a 1kW 3GHz jamming antenna for your WiFi needs.

Could you use WiFi for search and rescue? Maybe for a narrow set of circumstances, but in almost all situations a dedicated GPR option will be better.

This also won’t identify a victim, only revealing that one exists.

Microwave based ground penetrating radar is actually different from WiFi. Also the technology referenced in the link is a motion based body locator, not an identity recognition device.

This is different technology doing different things than what the original article was talking about.

VPNs will help. The article is only talking about VPN servers based in a location with a geo ban, which, duh. But if you actually use your VPN to be in a different country and not just a different city it’ll work fine.

Why do you need to identify specific cats over merely the presence of movement or cats in general?

If all you need is presence detection then a motion sensor would be vastly more efficient.

If you actually need identity detection, then maybe, but you’ll still have to have a camera or detailed access logs to associate the interference signature with a known entity and at that point you may as well just put an RFID reader under the bowl you throw your keys into or use facial or gait detection.
