And how do you feel about a Trump stacked executive deciding what is a blatant lie in 9 months time?

Didnt they launch an attempted coup d'etat last election? Granted an incredibly shittly planned and executed one, but they stormed the capitol trying to hang government leaders.

Steam currently has 35M peak daily active users. Out of the top 10 Games by player count only 2 dont work on proton: Pubg and CoD, those two together have a daily peak of 0.7M players. At number 11 you are already down to 0.07M daily peak.

I think your definition of "most" leaves something to be desired.

The landmark paper that ushered in the current boom in generative AI (Attention is all you need (Vaswani et al 2017)) is less than a decade old (and attention itself as a mechanism is from 2014), so I'm not sure where you are getting the idea that the core idea is "decades" old. Unless you are taking the core idea to mean neural networks, or digital computing?

This Hollywood idea that famous people are owed perpetual passive income for work they did decades ago needs to die in a fire.

I remember reading an article a few years back about physics undergraduates who didnt know how to use a computers file system. They could learn, but these are smart likely at least fairly tech inclined kids and they didnt know how to navigate folders on a computer at 18.

Countries have being cozying uo to China because they dont help protect global shipping?

The main difference is Ukraine can defend itself, Gazans cant. Given that Russian forces have been constantly attcking power and food infrastructure and have even breached dams I think its fair to say they would do what Israel does if they could.

Works perfectly for me on desktop with firefox

The same reason people dont go around harassing nazis when they are talking about football, most people arent terminally online enough to recognise usernames and build up a profile of them in their head and just judge whats in front of them.

They're kinda right, but not in the way they think they are. It's not that the left has being advocating for minority rights that is the problem, it's that they have been focusing on that while dropping policies to support the working class that is the issue. The fact that getting more women and black people on to corporate boards has been more of a focus than affordable housing has been slowly driving alienation from mainstream left wing parties.

Because its a comparison, no one cares how much energy playing a video uses compared to heating your house on may the 5th as opposed to december the 12.

sorry yes, typed it wrong, right final number though

But what are you suggestign they have embraced then extended with the intent of extingushing it? Just buying up competetors is certainly anti-competative but it doesnt fall into the pattern of EEE.

That name comes from typesetting errors rather than factual mistakes (and is also a holdover from the pre-computer era when spell checking wasnt a thing)

this includes the power used on the back end, not just the power used by the end user.

Yes, averages are a thing.

I was just using the numbers given in the article, presumably its an average including any sort of caching.

it actually is an enlightening comparison when you dig into it. It's saying that the energy required to power one play of a song is 4e4*365/5e9 of the energy to heat a home for one day. That comes out to about 0.3%, i.e. if you watch a three minute youtube video three times and do absolutely nothing else that day but heat your house (dont use any other electricity, dont eat anything, dont travel anywhere) you increase your energy usage by a total of 1%

Cant speak for all Europe, but again in the UK it exists but is far less pronounced than in the US. A slight uptick rather than a boom. Dont forget that while the US economy was going gangbusters after the war as the only untouched industrial economy most of europe was either rebuilding from ruins or was close to bankrupt.

w.r.t. voting intension, I slightly over egged it from memory, but it was about 75% left for under 30s and 70% right for over 70s at the last election. link
