Quite, third of the internet, maybe not but a huge amount, and all sorts of services that other sites rely on

Edinburgh castle failing to render, likely thanks to the AWS outage

Apparently the us West Aws data centre in Virginia is an unholy mess of old tech held together with string

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study

you might have found out already but the ramblas can be pretty sketchy at night, lots of pickpockets, they might pretend to play soccer with you or touch your private parts as a distraction

Goody-bag merch from Tory Conference branded "When Labour negotiates Britian loses" and signed "Kemi Badenoch".

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

supposedly all the AI companies are doing these kind of"deals"at the moment,shuffling money back and forth to keep the stock prices pumped,it's not a bubble! last time I looked openai was spending $130bn more than it earned,maybe AMD
feels safe to offer stock for 1c thinking that oai won't hit goals

Ed has said there is lots of PIP fraud when in reality there is almost none

supposedly repeat covid infections have damaged peoples brains, the part that deals with inhibiting base responses etc. bouncers have noticed a general increase in trouble in the last few years for instance

Apparently, the @EuropeanSlpr is a potent, high-performance machine… www.msn.com/en-us/autos/...

He did some move where he moved to the house next door and rented his own house out, then claimed rent on the other house as expenses, maybe he can come up with some schemes like that

Anthropic agrees record $1.5 billion payout to resolve copyright lawsuit with authors The first-of-its-kind deal in the era of generative AI is hailed 'a resounding victory'

Blimey. Overdue, but important. Now do the UK please:

AI firm Anthropic has "agreed to pay at least $1.5 billion to resolve a copyright dispute with authors — a record amount in US copyright settlements...

"Anthropic will pay rights holders $3,000 for each book it obtained from pirated datasets."

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️

Colour me shocked, triads laundering money

German car industry loses 50.000 jobs in Germany in a single year. Compared to 2019, there are 245.000 fewer industry jobs.

Yet, in the public discussion the China shock factor does not play any significant role.

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read

if you'd had a flip chart with you you could have done a sub waterfall presentation about covid variants ;)

tastes like chicken

if it's getting hotter it's probably worth not going to the office

I went in 2019 and it was nice, I was only in the centre, supposedly the outskirts are much more gritty

I like Pompidou centre but it's closed for renovation, I mostly walked round and took pictures when I was there, I expect there are loads of museums, we went to a science museum place in 1989 which was good and which provided brief respite from French blokes making lewd remarks about my sister

Having a Madame Bovary summer is all about:

-cheating because you're bored
-imagining what Paris must be like
-little treats you can't afford
-ignoring your child
-knowing exactly where the pharmacist keeps the arsenic (just in case)
-hiding in bushes

Some people keep saying "AI isn't just probabilities, AI understands," and then AI puts a toilet next to the office desk, both of which are in the kitchen with no sink.

This is not something an entity would do if it "understood" what those things are.

downton abbey is like Star Trek if the Enterprise was an English estate and instead of going on cool missions they go to dinner parties and such

obviously i walked out of there with 3 high end gpu's i had no intention of buying

yes, it's fine sometimes, for example there was this lady in pc world who called me sir in the dirtiest way imaginable

I'm also not a fan of being called sir by people in stores etc, also "boss" which one guy called me, made me feel most uncomfortable

yes, in court you're supposed to call the judge sir or marm, even that makes me cringe

there was a good dutch documentary a few weeks ago about how nation states have evolved from people who were basically gangsters in history, all the english upper classes were descended from norman lords who were given land by william the conquerer as a thank you for helping him rape and pillage.
