@hhawk Ah, but they don't want to add value to communities, they want to ban data centers!
English
@perrymetzger Ban Banks next?
No one is putting a new massive data center in Times Sq. There are data centers all over NYC.
NY State is large. So many places where data center location would be valued by the communities they are in and the companies that use them.
English
The result of places like New York blocking data center construction will be that the data centers, and the economic development that accompanies them, will end up in states with better governments.
New York's population has been falling, and it will continue to do so; this trend is driven by the economic stagnation brought by bad legislation and bureaucratic mismanagement. People don't like living in places with insanely high taxes and poor economic opportunities.
The remaining population increasingly consists of those who don't mind the mismanagement of the state or who have no options elsewhere, and thus the electoral margins for politicians supporting bad policies in such places will increase over time rather than decreasing, even though those policies are intensely damaging.
It is thus unlikely the trend will end any time soon; instead, places like New York are in a death spiral. Likely the same is true of California.
(It is notable that Senator Sanders also comes from a state with a stagnant population — presumably the same sort of evaporative cooling phenomenon is what keeps him in office.)

Months ago, my AI data center moratorium bill was called a radical idea. Today, New York became the first state to enact a moratorium and a majority of voters nationwide support it. AI must benefit ALL of humanity, not just a handful of Big Tech billionaires.

Mike Johnson: "You heard the president talk about how he wants to effectively double the funding for national defense. Look, we live in dangerous times. We're fighting communism on our own shores."

@nycweboy While it's under 33 million pounds of water. There's 15 million+ liters in the pool.

As a simple thought exercise, try to imagine the force required to “pull upwards” on 300 yards of pool liner.

The Reflecting Pool slashes that no one has seen pictures of have grown from 300 feet to, now, 300 yards!

Billy Bob Thornton says a stranger at a party gave him the most brutal and important advice of his career. The line: “You’re too ugly to be a leading man and too pretty to be a character actor.” Thornton’s first reaction, is this guy being rude, or is he psychic? Then he found out who he was talking to. Billy Wilder. Wilder’s follow up: since you don’t fit the traditional mold, stop waiting for roles and start writing your own material.

Since Ben joined Pangram earlier this year, he has helped set the bar for how quickly we ship while maintaining an extremely high bar for engineering excellence.
Worth checking out his article if you want to know what it looks like to be top 1% at your craft.

Bad sign when Iranians are agreeing with Trumps illegal idea of charging fees to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
Seyed Abbas Araghchi@araghchi
POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service. Iran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait and will remain so FOREVER. 20% is of course too much. We will be fair

@Dan_Jeffries1 I think we've lost already between the tariffs, chips, models, and threatening Canada and Greenland

We kneecapped our own American chip companies with export controls.
We had 100% of the market and China had a bunch of bloated, bedsore, state sponsored companies doing piss poor chip design.
So we did we do?
Killed our own market dominance through a self-own and lit a fire under Chinese scientists and engineers and made the Chinese state see our chip dominance as an existential threat and now they're roaring ahead.
Soon there will be two stacks in the world.
If the US further isolates and bans or limits Chinese models to favor our incumbents, then the rest of the world will standardize on the Chinese software and chip stack while we pay exorbitant token prices and fall behind faster and faster.
We're ahead now with closed but open wins in the end. It out scales. It swarms. It grows through sheer wide distribution, starting out worse and then getting better and better.
The cloud and mass scale came through tech like Linux and Kubernetes and Docker and Postgress, not Windows and Oracle.
We won the American century with openness and having the most innovative companies in the world distributing their tech far and wide.
We're going to lose with closed and protectionist, if we don't wake up fast.

Steve Jobs used to go around to his engineers’ computers and take RAM out of them (back in 1989). Heard this story from the original Mac team. Why? Constraints cause innovation. Silicon Valley knows this, or should. Go talk to Russian programmers who are often running tech companies about how they learned to write tight code on shitty computers. Taking away NVIDIA’s best cards from China will prove to be a remarkably stupid move for America. That just motivated nerds in China.

@IKEAUK, @IKEA, my order has looked like this for a week. Hilariously, I still get text messages saying it's about to be delivered, even though it was a few days ago. Clearly, your ordering system is broken. Called customer support three times; the only fix they could offer was to issue a refund and have me buy from one of your competitors. They apparently can't even escalate the fact that the ordering system is broken. I've tried every avenue to contact you, including emailing your executive directly, but it seems to be no one's problem. I understand the need to streamline and automate customer support, but you need to keep some avenues open for escalation. Right now, you have none, so you can't know about your broken system, let alone fix it. I'm giving it a good 80% chance you'll reply to this asking me to contact support, proving my point.

Fine with acting to understand, not so much guardrails, regardless I would have liked at least a couple words about how this transformative technology that is larger than the Industrial Revolution will make everyone's lives better! Not everything should be about fear.

For anyone excited by the latest (rehashed) fan fiction that Maduro helped rig tabulators for the 2020 election...
A reminder that Georgia has paper ballots.
You can't hack paper.
And it counted those paper ballots 3 times. Once by hand.
Each count yielded the same result.

HUGE: President Trump is allegedly planning to announce that both Senators from Georgia, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are ILLEGITIMATE due to election fraud, per sources from @DC_Reporter This could be massive.

Orgs often imagine prediction markets will help them find "diamonds in the rough" to promote. They do find extra hard (i.e., accurate) folks, but not ones w/ extra sparkle (i.e., usual other status markers), and don't want to promote those.

The problem, ultimately, is that restoration of free passage in the Hormuz Strait would require a massive combined-arms offensive that would be extremely costly in blood and treasure, that would necessitate involvement of Western allies who no longer trust us and won't fight with us, and for which there would be little, if any, domestic political support.
Had the Iranians taken control of the strait unilaterally without our provocation, the conditions for such a massive response—involving ground troops, allies, and Congressional authorization—might have been possible.
Which is why the Iranians never did that.
Now Trump—and we—are stuck. And the Iranian regime knows it. They correctly perceive Trump's flailing as weakness, and their new leaders, having gained the upper hand after a decapitation strike, know they have the upper hand. They don't give a shit about Trump's threats.
It's hard to imagine a greater and graver strategic failure than this one, which has resulted solely from Trump's idiocy, ignorance, incompetence, impulsiveness, and insanity.

Going into midterms in the midst of a war that’s materially impacting gas prices, when the cost of living is the top issue for voters, doesn’t make sense and will certainly have a negative impact on the Republican majority in the House. The incoherent strategy has caused predictable uncertainties for a resolution when the GOP should be focused on the very evident pain points for voters, but can’t. The best thing for the administration is a swift resolution and prioritization of the tangible issues impacting millions who will vote this fall.
