Even more interesting than this whole kerfuffle, are the conversations taking place around it. They look like driven by AIs, with different agendas, trying to discredit and ridicule whatever opponent they identify, rather than interested in finding out what's really going on.
Have the AI Wars started already?
Q: What does it take for $1 trillion of "wealth" to evaporate?
A: Say your state-sponsored thinking machine cost 1000 times less to develop.
Sounds like you are not being bad for the website, but for the advertisers, picking the most paying ones to sponsor your video watching time.
You might be slightly worse to the website, if instead of Atlanta, you were to travel around and decided to skip all the ads from a place where it's barely economical for them:

That's the beauty of a distributed network, not all parts need to look the same.
Nah, just being "helpful and harmless"... when "harm" = "anything against the CCP".
Things could be worse... not sure exactly how, but I bet they could. Last week got some flu again, breathing has been hard for the last few days, stopping to is tempting.
It's about the technology, and who can benefit from selling it to others.
___ means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the ___ reproductive cell
Scientifically, it's nonsense. There is no uniform line to be traced from "conception" to "reproductive cell".
Demagogically, a malicious interpretation could mean "only those who, through their genotype, could be traced from conception to reproduction, are a person".
That's why a key point of Project 2025 is to get both Democrats and "RINO" (or people who voted Republican, then realized their mistake), as far away as possible from any position of power.
From that article (thanks for sharing, btw) it seems like there are a series of relatively simple tools to identify the different kinds of diamonds, the main problem being large assortments of small pieces.
It only mentions laser inscriptions in passing, how easy would it be to counterfeit one? Seems like there are many aspects that can be checked relatively easily to see whether the actual characteristics match those in the inscribed ID?
In the polarizer strain test, I'm not sure which one makes a better diamond, one with more or less stress lines. Since the main aspect of ornamental diamonds is the ability to bend light as many times as possible, would the extra stress lines help or hinder that?
Kind of reflects the difficulty of refining aluminum ore. It's much cheaper to recycle aluminum, which is why it's one of the most looked for materials to recycle, and as more gets recycled the final price drops.
I've seen announcements about Azure making all the Deepseek and later models (Alibaba's, etc) available... but that's at Azure's pricing.
