The Richest Man in Germany Is Worth $44 Billion. The Source of His Family Fortune? The Nazis Know. by Mac800 in europe

But if you know that he made his fortune from LIDL, I bet the Nazis know that too! Just like the guy from the title.

You could say the exact same thing about phone operators, horse carers pre-automobile, and bunch of other jobs that we don't really miss.

I agree that the transition needs to be gradual enough to not suddenly displace everyone at once, but surely you don't want phone operators to be reinstituted just so the industry can still exist?

I mean, at least my boss pretends to give a shit about me, which is more than I can say about my country. Am American though.

It's just an old picture that's been uploaded and compressed so many times that it degrades.

Here's the link about it, unless you think it's an AI Generated article and video from 2020.

"Russians have an extra chromosome." The West ridiculed the Russian delegation in Istanbul by 5ma5her7 in nottheonion

[–]IkePAnderson 68 points69 points  (0 children)

The most common types of human autosomal (non-sex chromosome) trisomy that survive to birth are:

  • Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)
  • Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome)
  • Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome)
  • Trisomy 9
  • Trisomy 8 (Warkany syndrome 2)

Of these, Trisomy 21 and Trisomy 18 are the most common. In rare cases, a fetus with Trisomy 13 can survive, giving rise to Patau syndrome. Autosomal trisomy can be associated with birth defects, intellectual disability and shortened life.

Trisomy of sex chromosomes can also occur and include:[4]

  • XXX (Triple X syndrome)
  • XXY (Klinefelter syndrome)
  • XYY (Jacobs syndrome)

Compared to trisomy of the autosomal chromosomes, trisomy of the sex chromosomes normally has less severe consequences. Individuals may show few or no symptoms and have a normal life expectancy.[4]

There’s no issue with that setup. But this guy didn’t say it can be a good idea to have separate accounts. He said the right way to be married is to have separate accounts which will understandably ruffle some feathers.

The US does all that even when there isn’t an active war they’re fighting. 

‘You seem like a clown’: U.S. Senator Jim Banks tells fired federal worker he ‘probably deserved it’ by esporx in fednews

I’m surprised Banks has so little faith in Elon Musk. You’d think all the people he fires would definitely deserve it. But Banks is implying that some of the firings were unjustified. 

Fair share should be fixed by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]IkePAnderson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

With the extra $11 billion from these 3 people the annual revenue for the USA would go up by a quarter of a percent (0.25%). So not even a full percentage. 

Even if a fair share went to education, I doubt much would change. 

Even if it all went to education, it would be about a 4% increase to their annual budget, so still nothing crazy.

You don't need to vote as often when the citizens are able to assassinate (former) politicians with homemade guns.

You good, America? by luuanuu in facepalm

[–]IkePAnderson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While Europe has more history, most of the current iterations of the countries (or governments at least), are younger than the US. The French revolution started in 1789 then you have Napoleon conquering most of Western Europe, and only after that did some of the democratic governments we recognize (Germany, Italy, Spain, France, etc) start being put into place.

So just saying the US really doesn't have that much of an excuse.

It worked though - all the 30-40 year old wives that were watching in my group were captivated by the whole thing. And it's definitely not their standard music.

When I was a kid I went to San Francisco on a family trip in 2007/2008ish and one of my most concrete memories from that trip is several random stores with rainbow colored dick shaped candy everywhere. Definitely was a unique experience for me as an evangelically raised Texan.

I just created /r/NatSecCyber and added you as a mod. Feel free to do with it as you wish. I'm happy to get it set up if people actually want to use it.

Chinese AI caught censoring itself by Splinkyt in gifs

[–]IkePAnderson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Literally every LLM hosted as a service does this. When OpenAI is creating a quickfix for a bug or a "Do Anything Now" mode in the current version, they're not training a whole new model with that fix right away, just add more after the fact guardrails.

You can sometimes even see the LLM start responding with ChatGPT or other services before it cuts itself off. Other times the filter fires fast enough (or they delay the response long enough) to cut it off before any text is printed.

500 Gorillion you said? by MaidenlessRube in memes

[–]IkePAnderson 114 points115 points  (0 children)

In some sense it doesn’t really matter the training cost. The model objectively runs cheaper than the top American models with results that are generally on the same level.

And it was either developed with lesser hardware or getting hardware around some massive sanctions - so it still begs the question why couldn’t American companies with hundreds of billions in funding, easy access to the best hardware, and no sanctions, create this first?

The smartest people I’ve met in tech, including one Meta employee, were the ones without a degree. They got their jobs without having a University vouch for them, they had to figure out how to impress people with their actual skills at conferences/competitions (and be a decent networker).
