Nah, the idea is that you apply by starting with something small, like mugging. You study with the best for a few semesters, do your time, and get released early. When you graduate, you’re ready to start your assassination business.
It’s the university for criminals. How do you expect anyone to pull off a an elaborate bank heist, or build a drug cartel. You need experienced professional criminals for that.
Before long, demonstrations will probably be outlawed, and anyone trying to voice their concerns will be treated like a terrorist. Once that happens, there’s no going back.
I’ve been thinking about that as well. If an author has bought 500 books, and read them, it’s obviously going to influence the books they write in the future. There’s nothing illegal about that. Then again, they did pay for the books, so I guess that makes it fine.
What if they got the books from a library? Well, they probably also paid taxes, so that makes it ok.
What if they pirated those books? In that case, the pirating part is problematic, but I don’t think anyone will sue the author for copying the style of LOTR in their own works.
How many pages has a human author read and written before they can produce something worth publishing? I’m pretty sure that’s not even a million pages. Why does an AI require a gazillion pages to learn, but the quality is still unimpressive? I think there’s something fundamentally wrong with the way we teach these models.
"Revolt Ett, located right next to the gigafactory, is the largest battery recycling facility of its kind in Europe. "

Nowadays EU requires a certain amount of battery recycling, so a project like this can't just fail. I'm pretty sure someone will restart production sooner or later. Maybe the Swedish government has to step in.
OMG, Trump is already providing such an epic show, and Elon is clearly doing his part too. Are you saying that Elon could knock it up a notch? I thought 2020 was crazy, but apparently we aren't even in full-on crazy mode yet. This is already proving to be a popcorn heavy season, but this could only be the teaser trailer?
Precisely. The crypto part might have some extra value. That’s the key difference. The rest of it is just traditional thermodynamics. You pay the same amount in electricity and you get the same amount of heat.
That is so awesome! I’ve been thinking of the exact same thing for years. I already have a cheap source of heat, so there’s no need for a project like this. However, if I did live in a house with electric heating, mining crypto is exactly what I would do.
I would probably make a dedicated server room, blow the warm air to other rooms through pipes etc. it’s a bit of a gamble though, because mining hardware costs something, and I don’t know if the coins would really be worth it. As long as it costs less than traditional electric heating, it should be fine.
If Canada manages to get well connected, this isolation nonsense is only going to hurt USA in the long run. Future presidents sure have their work cut out for them. Repairing this kind of damage could take decades.
On top of that, I think Canada could make a trade agreement with UK. After Brexit, UK has been looking for ways to mitigate their economic predicament, so old colonies like Canada seem like a good place to start. UK really needs the deal too, so Canada could be in a good position to set some conditions.
These sorts of preparations speak about the uncertainty mentioned in the article. That kind of uncertainty also hurts both countries. I don’t think there’s any net benefit to anyone.
