Not enough to cover the healthcare costs down the line from the exposure. Who knows what long term proximity/exposure to data centers does to the human body? My guess is nothing good based on the reports from farmers about bees and cows.

> but doesn't Zoom have a feature where you can broadcast

they're probably using Chime haha, which as of my last use was lackluster

You would think part of the willingness to contribute financial support would stem from trust. I was fortunate enough to have my parent's financial support and they never asked about my grades.

Thanks for this explanation! I'm fascinated by odd legal complexities like this so I really appreciate the concise explanation and context!

Can someone with legal expertise or knowledge on this topic explain to me in simple terms how on earth asset forfeiture without conviction can exist in a country that claims to have due process? How has it been legally justified?

I have limited experience with CUDA but will this help solve the CUDA/CUDNN dependency version nightmare that comes with running various ML libraries like tensorflow or onnx?

"There is a better way to handle this and that’s to use invitations sent by users. You can only connect to someone who invites you. There is zero spam and no need to validate email or phones, since you send your invitation to the email or phone number you personally know."

This does not seem like a robust solution. Also if you think of social networks as a network graph, then this seriously limits reach as you heavily rely on key folks who are a part of multiple networks of friends to invite those friends, etc which makes it really hard to scale. Any workaround to that problem, will inevitably introduce access for scammers.

| A suitably detailed feature ticket isn't much more than a prompt. The ticket would need to get down to a code level in specification of what needed to be done.

This is the part I think folks underestimate when saying that "Coding as a career might be over". Gen AI can write decent code, but constructing software from code, and coming up with implementation ideas and turning those into tickets still feels far away at least from my experience using ChatGPT and CoPilot. Also those systems were trained on code but I don't know that they have the best idea of quality of the code they were trained on.

It's not perfect but to get an idea of adding one more dimension on top of the three dimensions we can visualize is thinking of color as the 4th dimension. There's a game called 4D Maze created by a topolgist that's availble in iphone app store. The visualization is 3d but if you can imagine the colors taking up the same space (instead of being right next to each other in 3d space), it kinda works. At least, it's the closest I've ever come to feeling like I could visualize or understand an additional dimension.

Funny how Dell supported remote work, until Michael Dell's family investment LLC started more heavily investing in office real estate.

Nothing. That's the problem. The articles references heat related injuries and death.

> And if you own a car made in the last ~5 years, here's how to request your "Consumer Disclosure Report" from LexisNexis: https://consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/ . According to NYT, LexisNexis receives at least some data from GM, Ford, Kia, Subaru, and Mitsubishi.

Appreciate this link! I don't have one of the listed brands (own a Mazda) but I am curious to see what info data brokers like this have on me in general.

Also, maybe this is a naive thought but I think data brokers like this are so used to operating in the shadows / being forgotten about so I think the more folks who request is at least a small signal to them that folks are paying attention.

I wonder if this was SIM-swapping and if so if it will finally get a bit more federal attention
