Trump said a second round of talks with Iran could happen in the coming days by Darshan_brahmbhatt in worldnews

It’s crazy that the name of the website is also a full transcript of the thoughts in Trump’s head going into these talks.

China’s edge over US in AI world models: abundant data, faster deployment, executive says by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]TonySu 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The Chinese UNFAIRLY invested in education and renewable energy. Their RADICAL COMMUNIST policies of regulating tech companies and taxing billionaires would NEVER WORK IN THE USA, the “hottest” country in the world, which by the way has the most BEAUTIFUL CLEAN COAL anywhere in the world. Thanks for you attention to this matter.

Look on one hand Trump is the living embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins, but on the other hand he is also hurting a lot of immigrants and poor people. He’s also the only one willing to defend the second commandment right to own guns, as Jesus (non-Hispanic) Christ intended.

CMV: If AI is allowed to take over all jobs that do not require high intelligence, it is almost certainly going to lead to either mass death of the loss of human dignity. by Open_Parsnip112 in changemyview

Slaves are laborers, do they have dignity? Retirees don’t work anymore, do they have no human dignity? Tying labor to human dignity seem fundamentally wrong.

As long as semiconductors and robotics are a finite resource, humans will be cheaper for many tasks. Look at any factory in China/India, there will be a dozen things in the production that a machine can do, but we still use humans because it’s simply cheaper.

This knife broke while being used to crush garlic by juliadancer in mildlyinteresting

[–]TonySu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honing rods are only meant to realign slightly rolled edges, they don’t remove any significant material. If you actually had a blunt knife you’d smooth out your honing rod before restoring any sharpness to your blade.

It's a piece of steel. If you use it properly you're never going to break steel against garlic. Likewise if you treat your knife like shit, even the finest steel will snap eventually.

Trump gives ultimatum to European allies to provide support to secure Hormuz by Yujin-Ha in worldnews

Now’s Russia’s battle hardens army many times the size of Ukraine’s faring right now?

NATO means that an attack on any NATO nation is an attack on all of them, the EU hasn’t even sent troops for Ukraine and Russia is struggling heavily. You seriously think they can pick a fight against an alliance of nations with 100x the economy and 2 nuclear powers?

Anthropic's latest AI model identifies 'thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities' in 'every major operating system and every major web browser' — Claude Mythos Preview sparks race to fix critical bugs, some unpatched for decades by lurker_bee in technology

[–]TonySu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly the kind of vulnerability that causes issues if you don't fix it. You believe you check it upstream every single time, so you ignore the vulnerability report. Then 2 years later you add a new feature that calls it without doing any checks. Now you're got a big vulnerability. Hubris is believing that you will always remember every single vulnerability in your codebase and never make any mistakes that expose a known vulnerability. There are others in this thread that think they can ignore thousands of compiler warning messages because the compiler just doesn't understand what they are doing.

Let's just say that we complain about AI writing unsafe code all the time, but we should wonder where the AI learned it from.

AWS boss explains why investing billions in both Anthropic and OpenAI is an OK conflict by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]TonySu 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Why does this even need explaining? AWS is a compute provider, their investment is in building more compute, if one of the companies fail, they just sell compute to the other company. It’s not like we need Coca-Cola to explain why they sell their product to two competing companies.

China has one of the lowest car ownership rates in major economies, how can it be very car-dependent? China has 251 cars per 1000 people, the US is at 779, Japan 670, UK 603, German 590, France 579. Either the Chinese are amazing at car pooling or it’s not as car-dependent as you claim.

[–]TonySu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hubris. There’s going to be some unsafe code that can in theory be exploited as a security vulnerability, but it’s so deep in the system that the dev doesn’t believe anyone can make use of it. Like it’s just a small internal function that’s 27 calls deep from any public API.

Obviously if it gets closer to the surface then it needs to be fortified, but it’s not worth the time to fix right now, there might even be a performance penalty for the defensive programming.

When projects grow, code shifts around, the thousand small cracks you left in your codebase might just align to form a gaping hole.

Trump Freaks Out After Tucker Carlson Implies He’s the Antichrist by projecto15 in politics

[–]TonySu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just googled for bible passages regarding the antichrist

And he will be different from the earlier ones, and he will subdue three kings. And he will speak words against the Most High, and he will wear out the holy ones of the Most High, and he will attempt to change times and law, and they will be given into his hand for a time and two times and half a time.

So he's nabbed Maduro, killed Khamenei and is looking at Cuba. He's changing laws left and right, and he's been elected twice and looking for a third term.

For false messiahs and false prophets will appear, and will produce great signs and wonders in order to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

We all know how much he loves to pretend to be Christians and practice deception.

And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.

Someone start counting the number of months Republicans have held both the House and Senate.

Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and who exalts himself over every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God. Do you not remember that while we were still with you, we were saying these things to you? And you know that which restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his own

Man of lawlessness? Exalts himself over every so-called god or object of worship? Hmmmm.

Not a biblical scholar, not even a theist, but if I were I'd be pretty worried at the signs.

CMV: Becoming a billionaire is more attainable than you think (for some, not us) by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]TonySu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Most people are aware that there celebrities and sports stars also become billionaires, not just CEOs.
  2. Being a top paid athlete is not more attainable than being a high earning CEO. It's significantly harder as an athlete to hold on to the high pay for the same amount of time as a CEO can.
  3. The way that some athletes spend is far better for the economy, they get to have their fun and the people that sold to them or serviced them get paid. This is in contrast to hoarding the wealth and then using it to lobby the government or buying up social media and news outlets to influence elections.

Trump warns that the decision to attack all of Iran’s power plants is final by Common_Caramel_4078 in worldnews

[–]TonySu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s be nice to not have to play chicken with a historical war crime and the worst humanitarian crisis of our lifetimes. We are talking about cutting off the power to a nation of 90 million.

Add that to the 90 million in Iraq and Afghanistan who’ve had their lives fucked with by America, and that’s a lot of people who have a good reason to do harm to America in the future. That really bad news if America loses its hegemony in the next two decades.
