I don't know why people are so fixated on heating as some kind of gotcha. If we already assumed magical 16km^2 solar array, then we can also assume matching size radiator, with heatpumps. If ISS can do it, then there is no technical issue with doing it on bigger scale. It "only" doesn't make any sense from financial viewpoint, terrestrial datacenters beat it in every way.
NVidia's recent support for warm (45 °C) water cooling for their new racks probably had more impact on price of compute than than space servers will ever have.
Why exactly it is clickbaity? It makes perfect sense to me, I understand title as: people told not use AI fired for using AI - without any need for additional context.
Mechanical Turk was shut down for exactly same reason, it was always a race to the bottom and using LLMs was cheaper than even third world gig workers. Verifying if task were done by humans is probably harder than doing them in the first place.
As I see it, the distinction is between the work of designing and managing the training process, and the work of providing human training data. It's generally considered a good idea to automate the former, but there's a conceptual (information theoretical) issue with automating the latter. I don't know if it makes things more fair, but it's not quite a contractor vs FTE issue.
Really? It’s clickbait because it paints OpenAI as hypocritical: “look they’re marketing AI as valuable, and they won’t even let their own people use it”. When in fact the job description is to not use AI.
Please reread. I am not making the claim that OpenAI is hypocritical.
I am making the claim that the article headline is clickbait because it paints OpenAI as hypocritical for firing workers for using AI to do their job, which is a mischaracterization because the whole job is to give human input.
It will take even longer when they discover supply chain attacks on compilers. I mean they where mostly theoretical so far but that might change any day now.
There's this defense mechanism where people that face criticism on excesses and are proposed moderation, will take it to the extreme in order to defend the excess.
"You are spending too much"
"Hah, if I were to take your advise and reduce all costs, I would spend 0, I would die of hunger and the economy would halt!"
It's less a discussion and more a personal trickery that you do on yourself.
It has more comments than points, IFAIK that causes flamewar suppression to kick in and take it off the frontpage. It would be great for submission to include year in title when it matters but I doubt it can be reliably automated.
If I remember correctly I got a call from GMG, 15 years ago, to confirm a purchase of … $15 game key. Maybe Google Ads have such great deal with card acquirers they don't care about fraud/chargeback rate. Or it is the other way around, the amount of fraudulent spending is so high they don't even try fighting it.

Amazon decided friction during purchase is more costly than asking for CVV/CVC. For better or worse (like in case of Ford Pinto) corporations can count their money.
All previous similar issues got hand waved with "Mozilla has to make money somehow".
I am afraid one day remaining users will decide that Chromium based browsers provide a better experience in most use cases, and now have same privacy guarantees as Firefox. Looking at market share maybe that had already happened and pragmatism won over ideology, and we will all suffer the consequences of such monoculture.
These comments are so annoying and they pop up on literally any news Mozilla releases. Like… ever.
No, Firefox is not malware because it includes an OPTIONAL feature. Yes, chrome is 100x worse than Firefox when it comes to data privacy. Yes, Firefox works in 99.9999% of websites. Yes, the performance of Firefox is about the same as chrome.
Nobody who seriously gives even a single fuck about privacy is going to be dropping Firefox because of this. Because that’s stupid.
The only conclusion, then, is that people who are dropping Firefox because of this don’t care about privacy at all, and just want an excuse to use chrome. But I guess saying “well I like chrome” is too much, so we just lie instead.
It’s fine to use chrome. It IS NOT fine to lie through your teeth and claim you use chrome because Firefox is just as bad for privacy.
Because it’s not, and not a single person would drop Firefox for that reason. You just want to use chrome. So do that, and stop shitting on Firefox as if Mozilla implementing 0.01% of the malware chrome has is the end of the world.
Not a fan of JEP-531, looks the repeat of Optional. Are we really so afraid of extending syntax that we are going to add a class instead of field modifier?
private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(Whatever.class);
This was already verbose enough that Lombok has @Log4j for it, adding `lazy` keyword in front of `final` won't make it any worse.
Do people just not type fast, ignorant of how IDEs work, or what exactly is the deal? I'd rather have the clarity of everything above. It tells me exactly what I need to know and what I can do with it.
I mean, thanks to crazy data center over-investment there is real chance that Oracle will need to sell some of their assets. Somehow I can't imagine many potential buyers that would be a good custodian of Java.
> but unless you're defending against some sort of denial of service attack, in practice it rarely matters.
That "rarely" contains most sites/webservices. Before programming languages started defending against it by applying randomization (and sometimes replacing degraded maps/buckets with treemaps) it was a real threat. I remember people were able to trigger DoS either by specially crafted query string params or HTTP headers. After all both are shoved into some kind of map by frameworks, before request is even passed to application code.
