Harvey is a great example of how American companies are building world-class specialized models: they took an open-source base (Kimi K3), post-trained it on legal data, and delivered state-of-the-art performance on legal benchmarks at a fraction of the cost of frontier models. Restrictions that kneecap open models would do nothing to stop Chinese labs from shipping the next Kimi. They would, however, cripple the ability of startups like Harvey to create high-performance, low-cost vertical models. Of course some of the closed labs would love this — it eliminates their competition.

Datacenters are 21st century factories. they are way cleaner, quieter, and make more money then 20th century factories. When a factory goes up in your town that means you have stable tax revenue for decades. funded schools, good jobs, and paved roads. I don't understand the localized opposition

I’m pro data center

I’m pro fracking

I’m pro nuclear energy

I’m anti media hysteria

[Dominic Pino @DominicJPino]

Data centers are the cleanest, least invasive large-scale industrial buildout of physical stuff that we've seen, and people still oppose it.

Good thing to remember when people whine about how "we don't build physical stuff in America anymore."

I am bewildered, and not very impressed, by the visceral, naked, irrational hatred spat out by some defenders of Jason Arday. If a Cambridge professor is accused of being an unqualified charlatan, the accusation might be racially motivated. On the other hand it might not, depending on the evidence. The correct question to ask is not, ”What is the colour of his skin” but “Is it in fact true that he is an unqualified charlatan?” Please examine the evidence before leaping to the assumption of racism.
As for the idea that journalists “piled in on him” and “hounded him to his death”, most attacks were against Cambridge University. Jason himself was widely regarded as an unfortunate victim of foolish promotion way beyond his ability to cope. In appointing him to a professorship for which he was manifestly unqualified – in ludicrously describing him as “the best in the world” – certain senior members of the university showed a level of patronising condescension towards black people that could fairly be described as racism, while at the same time making him tragically vulnerable to such attacks as came his way.

CAIR was designated as a terrorist organization in Florida.

The founder of CAIR Florida endorsed James Fishback.

Ask yourself why.

"How could the boomers have been so stupid as to reject nuclear energy?"

"We need to reject data centers that will fund our schools, cut our taxes, keep China from world domination, and employ our neighbors"

Trump's support for AI is one of his best instincts and policy positions.

His approach of standing against regulation is something all of us will be grateful for in 10 years as the tech booms.

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Rare unironic life advice. It can be great for many people but if you're on the fence about whether to go to some sort of graduate school, i.e. you don't have something fairly specific you're trying to accomplish, probably don't. A much worse value proposition than 20 years ago.

You want an unpopular opinion, let me give you one of mine: Where they measurably assist police and reduce crime, I strongly approve of surveillance cameras in public spaces (like streets). The more cams, the better.

Surveil me all you want! Just don't do it in private spaces.

But the low IQ left and right told me that they are "protecting" farmers.

[Bronson @AdeDetective]

Trump thinks he can bully Canada and push us around. He's wrong. The only groups capable of that are: Indiginous tribes greater than 10 people, the CRA, Sikhs, public sector unions, dairy + cheese farmers, Muslims, climate alarmists, public health units, trans and 🏳️‍🌈 people.

We haven’t truly grappled with the substantial harm caused to our society by the replacement of news with entertainment.

It’s just been progressively degrading into a circus that leaves people dumber at each step. A true path to idiocracy.

It started with news programs becoming more focused on entertaining than informing audiences.

Then it took a substantially worse turn when you had comedians/entertainers who knew/understood little about the world but pretended otherwise. Jon Stewart followed by Jon Oliver did so much damage to the ability of people to process and expect accurate information on relevant news topics.

The latest iteration is conspiratorial podcast hosts who know even less and feel even less responsibility to be accurate or honest.

Now people are just focused on what sounds entertaining instead of what has a basis in reality. And the real problem is that mindset is having a substantial effect on policy and news discussions. The truth almost doesn’t matter and audiences can’t recognize it anyway.

Those seeking to undermine our society (foreign and domestic) have become very adapt of taking advantage of that environment.

Future generations will pay a substantial price because of it.

@TomTiffanyWI @Freespeech212 @DavidCCrowley It would be extremely difficult for me to vote Democrat this would make it a bit easier. Data centers are economic development.

If white South Africans still don’t “belong” in South Africa after four centuries, explain how a Somali who arrived in Minnesota last month is already American.

Obviously true, and also why laser development is very important

From 1979 to 2018, American flu shots increased fifteenfold. American flu deaths didn’t change (i.e. they rose, but adjusting for age and population they stayed steady).

True story, bro.

I’m sorry flu shots don’t work. I’m sorry old people die. Lying doesn’t save them, though.
