Seinfeld went to Israel and visited the IDF camps where they train people to participate in genocide. That's not a joke, that's becoming directly involved in a crime against humanity.

That's the fig leaf that is always used. "It's just a joke! I'm not hurting anyone!" Then they use the platform and money to hurt people. JK Rowling is another example. "It's just a children's book!" (never mind that she also writes shit adults novels under a male name). She funds hate groups and their lawsuits, which has recently resulted in an extremely damaging change in the law in the UK.

Speech does not happen in a vacuum.

Do you have benchmarks for AI performance? That seems more relevant here.

Also which Apple machine are you comparing to? The M5 performance depends heavily on thermal and power limits. That website is probably using the desktop version with much better cooling and a higher power limit than any of Apple's portable offerings.

It doesn't really matter if it makes a useful contribution to the field.

It's hard to say if it is due to AI being something novel, of it they threw similar amounts of money at humans working in the field they could get a similar result. Maybe it doesn't matter, because humans take decades to train to this level, and their built their AI in years.

Have you tried asking AI?

You can avoid most of the paint by just ignoring DST. Don't change you clocks. Helps if your work is flexible about hours, but you can always move some evening stuff to the morning and vise versa.

Try it, you will find that it's no real effort to remember everyone else's clocks are off by an hour.

Look at Nepal, in the UTC+05:45 timezone. They aren't even the only ones who like to break technology with their non-whole-hour timezone.

The world seems to be moving towards trying to simplify time a bit, e.g. by discontinuing leap seconds. Personally I'd start a project to build a booster large enough to correct the Earth's orbit of the sun to a nice round 256 days, but since there doesn't seem to be much support for that at least we can stop bothering with DST.

You make it sound like not having DST is terrible, but most of the world doesn't bother with it.

It's basically Europe, the US, and a few random others including half of Australia for some reason. Everyone else gets by just fine without DST, and much of the world gave it up when they stopped being colonies.

Maybe it's time to think about the hours we do things in general. For example, in Japan most shops don't open until 10 or 11 AM, and stay open until 7-8 PM. That gives people the opportunity to visit them after work or school. Schools and employers set opening times based on local conditions, because there are vast differences between northern and southern climates. It turns out that everyone doing what makes sense for them works just fine.

With things line linear TV and radio becoming less relevant, times also matter less. It's a good thing, it gives us flexibility.

Just because everyone was operating on the assumption that high energy cosmic neutrinos exist doesn't mean that it isn't worth proving that beyond all doubt. It wouldn't be the first time if the results was unexpected, or if it turned out a whole load of accepted physics were based on a faulty assumption.

So far so good? Surely the camera must have given this cop an image of the car that he could see was the wrong colour. It should never have got as far as her apartment.

Huawei was targeted because it was an R&D powerhouse, and all it did was make them redouble their efforts. Sanctions can't do much about patents because if they tried, it would just make other countries invalidate US patents in response.

Apple charges $300 for an additional 512GB of SSD storage on a Macbook Air. So that 12GB is worth $7.

If it's the hidden nature of the camera that you have an issue with, button and other wearable, concealed cameras have been available for years too.
