Lawmakers—contemporary and otherwise—have in fact decided many many times that the state can deprive you of your life as punishment for certain crimes.
I believe what parent commenter is suggesting is that it would be ridiculous for lawmakers to call it a crime to die, say without verifying you are of the legal age to do so. It would be like declaring that breathing is legal: why does that need a proclamation?
I have found it intriguingly difficult in my own tests to make LLMs deliberately fuck up grammar in any way similar to how humans do. I suppose this is actually an architectural limitation.
write a comment about how to use ChatGPT to write a game like you're a barely literate reddit user, short answer, maximum incoherency
and the result was a pretty good simulation. I tried less insulting prompts first, this did not produce a good simulation.
Not perfect, gptzero.me still knew it was AI generated (tayo42 is human by the same measure), but if for some reason someone was using an LLM prompted with that pattern, I suspect it would fool me in a Turing test unless I found the keyword to force the agent to change the role it was playing.
I'll take your word for it, I think I'm in zero groups on Facebook, I only even look at the feed when I see a notification in Messenger; and I barely use Messenger, too.
Sometimes they do. From Gemini 3, some AppleScript:
if something then
if something then
if something then
stuff
end if
end if
</if>
Each time I asked Gemini 3 to fix the syntax error, it acknowledged it had screwed up the basic syntax, and then emitted a new version of the code. With another XML closing tag somewhere. Then it was embarrassed, apologetic, etc. to see it had made the same mistake repeatedly. Eventually it output several attempts per turn as it kept checking its own work in-turn, seeing that it had made the same kind of mistake and tried again, this time definitely fixing it, proudly and confidently presenting me with the correct, final, definitive version. With another 'end if' or 'end tell' replaced by an XML closing tag that it couldn't see until the next turn.
Because it tends to require a lot of thought and effort along totally separate engineering pathways than most of the actual functional coding. Good UI design is not easy, and the skills to do it don't directly overlap with good coding skills. It's hard.
> I suspect part of the reason is that most gui frameworks are not really designed for making dense economical interfaces.
Don't blame the tooling for a broad failing of many developers. It's because constructing a genuinely dense and economical interface for most apps requires considerable time and effort, and frankly, most developers are crap at understanding how users other than themselves use applications. Those that aren't crap at it tend to have worked in large teams with dedicated UX people to help drag them away from their preconceptions.
But TUI's are more likely to have dense, economical, keyboard driven interfaces. Part of that may be the target audience, but I also think TUI Frameworks make it easier to make good keyboard navigation and interactions than most GUI frameworks.
I don't like assisting reddit's monetization/AI training machine by tying my browsing activity directly to an account identity. I would prefer to browse anonymously and make them work at least a little bit harder to compile my anonymous activity into a coherent single-user profile.
If that doesn't bother you, then good for you, and we have different feelings about privacy.
Texas specifically has heavily politicized and demonized wind power, in spite of having massive successes with it prior to 2016 and being a leading producer of it. Solar isn't as bad, but is still seen as "leftist." The political landscape in TX is vastly more friendly to natural gas.
In other words, they are using gas turbines because the politicians are stupid.
They are using gas because it's more reliable during peak usage. Wind generation in Texas isn't optimal throughout the entire state and conditions aren't optimal all the time. They still use wind, but from a pure numbers perspective, gas infra already exists, the gas is there, and gas is more reliable, so wind isn't always the cheapest form of energy. There are also diminishing returns on just adding more wind turbines.
Gas is also incredibly cheap in Texas. Way, way cheaper than you would think. In some parts, it's negative price - you will be paid to use it. We have entirely too much gas, which is actually a problem because ideally we want to discourage its use.
So yes, wind and solar are cheap. Depending on where in Texas you are, gas is cheaper.
Texas is not at all against renewables. Maybe, just maybe, whatever axes the people building data centers are optimizing on rule out solar/wind over factors other than "renewables are for leftists, so fuck that we're gonna burn gas even if it's more expensive."
Did you miss the 1st utility part? It can be quite hard for nonresidential users to retrofit for solar. Not impossible but sometimes not an easy solve.
This is... Not a huge statement to me. My home state is at 16% solar, and we're calling it inadequate. [0] Its not a 1-to-1, as we have probably 10% of the people, and 1/3 of the landmass. More spread out, different demand, so a completely different landscape.
Not sure what point you have. I am not advocating Texas is the best in the world or doing a happy dance but you were quoting a specific number which was nonresidential which captures the various commercial and other nonresidential/utility generation. I would never expect those to be that high, it’s hard to retrofit some commercial roofs, might be a longer payoff and where there is density you don’t have ground space for panels.
I am glad Victoria is doing well. Texas could always do better but keep in mind what % you’re quoting that Texas has 7x the solar capacity that Victoria has. I suspect that will get even more aggressive has batteries have become more cost effective at utility scale.
Avoid it to the tune of being in the top third (for now, they're projected to keep growing), behind only blue states that are known for aggressive rollout and/or climates that are overall more favorable (i.e., Texas gets its fair share of sun but not quite like CA and NV, for example)? Is that your idea of avoiding it because politicians want to own the libs?
Utility scale, solar installs, and will be total solar by end of year.
Texas accounts for 40% of new solar capacity installed per year at this point.
It does lag behind an inefficient and expensive rooftop solar, and has no State mandate for homeowners to build it.
That said, I think this is enough to show that Texas doesn't hate solar, so there's probably a different reason for selecting gas to support the data center. If I were to Hazard I guess, it would be stability and demand curve
I often wonder why conservatives have such a problem with renewable energy.
I can certainly believe that oil and gas pay better bribes, and that this incentivises a certain kind of politician who seem to be over-represented among conservatives in the US. But that doesn't explain the widespread dislike among the conservative end of the general population. Is it just groupthink or Overton Window -nudging using social media? Or is there something more psychological going on? Some kind of disgust reaction?
One would think that self-proclaimed "conservatives" would like to conserve the natural world... Long gone are the days of Teddy Roosevelt that's for sure.
Eh you are posting hyperbole that has nothing to do with this thread. I made a single quip while furthering my position. Posting rules like you are doing are even worse. You have a downvote.
Replace Reddit with hyperbolic statements that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. There was a wave of high points less than 1 year old accounts posting highly hyperbolic statements that had nothing to do with the topic or were so far off from how physics works that it’s a bit silly. The person I responded to is only posting because I disagreed with them in this thread elsewhere.
Going back to the original rule the point is to not have endless meta discussions. I am skirting it imo but I included rationale for my argument.
But instead of continuing a meta discussion the better option for someone like you would be to downvote it.
The personal jab was unnecessary. If it’s because I called out your hyperbole it might have been better to try to educate me instead of trying to name call or be rude in every sentence. Hard to even read your response it starts so low. Sorry!
You’re also mixing up Texas energy policy with the engineering requirements of an AI data center. Those are different discussions.
The claim that Texas wind generation is “back to 2017 levels” isn’t supported by the data. Texas continues to add large amounts of wind and especially solar. Solar has been dominating though as a percentage of generation and wind has fallen behind. Wind input costs are up quite a bit since 2017-2021 era. I am sure some of this might have political motivations but if the economics are in solar companies are going to build solar farms.
The original point still stands: if you need guaranteed 24/7 on site power for a massive data center, gas turbines are a much more practical solution than trying to achieve the same reliability with wind, solar, and batteries. Your post is just a political derailment that does not hit why Amazon did what they did.
Sounds like a poster child for LXC containerization with Proxmox — all the host-level management of a non-ephemeral VM (including snapshots!), without the every-machine-has-its-own-kernel overhead.
I do have a couple LXC for the things that need tight GPU control. Ollama and DS4 permanently, and an ml-workbench that steals the 3090 from my Cachy gaming VM when I get it in my head that I could try implementing some cool gsplats paper haha.
I could definitely slim things down without disko, virtio, etc, and especially whole separate kernels.. but it's also not such a huge diff that I mind. I'm not adding new services all that fast anymore now that I've got my basics + wishlist set up, so I'll grab another box from the local pc recycler if I ever need space for another ~30 VMs some day rather than when I need space for another ~40-50 LXCs.
And in the meantime if OpenAI publishes a scary brag about how GPT-7 popped a shared kernel on accident I can be relieved that my private bookmarks repo isn't vulnerable while the internet burns down.
You'd think, but nope, it def doesn't — the site's TLS cert is issued by Google Trust Services, which issues domain-validated certs via ACME, so no, the only thing the site owner had to do to get that certificate is demonstrate ownership of the `cloudflare.pay` domain. GTS is also one of the default CAs that Cloudflare's universal SSL uses, so that's also exactly what would show up for any Cloudflare-proxied site with TLS enabled.
The cert itself only has CN=cloudflare.pay. It lacks an org, an address, or any other identifying info. It's not OV/EV, so no details there, either.
The domain's whois is also devoid of identifying details:
hah thanks for the deep dive on this. I wanted to investigate myself but figured someone on HN would be faster at it. Makes sense it's not helpful, alas.
