The point is, “CEO of <company>” is just as, if not more identifiable than their name, that everyone will forget in a week.

… No. That’s not how it works. AI datacenters are just datacenters with a very heavy focus on GPUs and TPUs. We have plenty of datacenters with GPU and TPU offerings in Europe, just no datacenter that is fully dedicated to it.

No, the chain of comment had switched to where the servers are located. Someone claimed overseas, and that was the topic of this chain, then.

The chain of comment specifically mentions that no one is claiming it will run on AI datacenters.

Sure, but there are definitely AI companies with europe based servers. OpenAI is one of them. Your comment was about servers being overseas because we dont have AI datacenters, I’m saying that’s not true.

Yes, we don’t have AI datacenters, but we still host AI in europe, in multi-purpose datacenters.

You dont need an AI-specific datacenter to have a datacenter serving AI.

Oh yes, it is definitely slow. I was estimating large on purpose!

But also need to account for traffic and uphill!

Exactly what I was thinking, 2.5 miles should be about 4km if my math is right, which is something like 20 minutes if you take your time on a normal bike?

Do you not use a package manager for JS/TS development?

Because there is a much larger number of small libraries that end up in every project somewhere down the tree. So: higher count of opportunities.

Because JS is much more popular than any other language and is used in virtually every web project. So: higher impact when successfully executing a supply chain attack. (this is the same reason why Windows has more viruses than linux or osx: not because linux and osx are intrinsically more secure - even if they are, that’s never going to be the main factor - but because there are a lot more tech illiterate users with Windows than the others)

NPM isn’t particularly less secure, it’s just more attractive to exploit.

Typically people only have trustworthy repositories configured. The amount of people with access to deploy on those is low. Less keys, less chance of someone stealing one.

Plus, let’s be honest, people deploying linux packages are probably much more security-conscious than people deploying a random but useful javascript lib on npm.

And this is one of the reasons C is not more popular. C is not a model for modern programming.

Yes. We even have critical companies in the supply chain of chip manufacturing based in Europe, so it’s definitely possible. It doesn’t even need to be as high performing as the big ones. I’d buy it anyway.

Well, yes, but there was also a lot of bullshit that we simply dont remember because it disappeared after the great purge that was the internet bubble pop

Always been this way, no? Sometimes, though, the imbeciles hire very competent people

Then we have a different experience, and that’s fine

If it’s a tool you can use yourself and it makes you more efficient, you don’t need a study to recognize its efficiency.

If you’re a software engineer, just try it yourself. Your own experience is the best proof you can find to judge if a tool is useful to you or not.

Depends on who writes the books.

Yes, and the problem is not having beliefs, but the organizations exploiting and weaponizing them.

No? An essay is a test, not a proof of intelligence. Humans tend to do the minimal effort on things they dislike. If the task is not something we are interested in, we will tend to do the minimum needed to accomplish the task. That’s not being stupid. What is stupid is forcing humans to do things they dislike.

We are perfectly capable to spend our mind on tasks we are interested in. AI just makes it easier to be lazy on shit we don’t care about.

This is about effort, not intelligence. The article, like 99% of news articles these days, finds a shocking headline that is not supported by research (no serious research will associate effort spent on an essay with intelligence), and is happy with the high number of people it pleases.

My point stands: the technology is not going to disappear. What are we going to do about not being able to use essays to evaluate how well a student understands a subject? Push back on AI? Futile ban attempts?

You’re saying using AI for essays defeats the purpose of essays, I’m saying essays are no longer a good way to evaluate understanding of a topic.
