In Canada (or BC anyway) they need to pay the time and a half, and there’s technically no such thing as salaried. If you work over 40 even if you’re on salary, it’s over time at 1.5x.
However, there is a clause in BC at least that says high tech workers are exempt from the 1.5x rate for overtime.
It’s utter bullshit. Discriminated against in written law.
I mean ya, that works if they know who you are.
Sorry my bad. The messages will all be converted into AI slop when you submit them so you aren’t actually communicating with someone with your own written words so you have plausible deniability that you didn’t actually write any messages using encryption which is now an offense punishable by death.
It’s because it can’t be taken down. What happens when they arrest everyone working at signal? When they arrest you for hosting a E2E encrypted message relay?
That’s where language like this is headed.
Ethereum also recently introduced something called blobs, which is temporary data that lasts around 18 days. So it isn’t necessarily stored forever if you wanted a not as permanent message. There are archives that will keep all that as well, but it’s not maintained on the regular chain past 18d.
I know this is gonna get downvoted but…
This is all going to lead to needing to use some open blockchain based communication system.
E2E encrypted, routed through a public blockchain they can’t block. Use one of Ethereums L2 systems to keep short messages under a penny or two and route all payments through Tornado Cash so they can’t be tracked.
All open source, nothing to take down, uncensorable.
It won’t be for everyone at first it would he too technical in a lot of cases, but it’s going to be the last option at the end of this road.

At what point does removing garbage become so complicated that they just stop merging anything in at all.
They also show ads unless you pay more than the prime membership.
I haven’t opened prime since that day.
Clearly their adoption of rushing out AI generated code is working well.
I’ve been enjoying my carbon steel more than cast iron. It’s the same as cast iron for seasoning and non stick, but much lighter.
The power usage isn’t even that much on an individual basis once it’s trained, it’s that they have to build these massive data centers to train and serve millions of users.
I’m not sure it’s much worse than if nvidia had millions of customers using their game streaming service running on 4080s or 4090s for hours on end vs less than an hour of AI compute a day.
It’d be better if we could all just run these things locally and distribute the power and cooling needs, but the hardware is still to expensive.
You have apple with their shared GPU memory starting to give people enough graphics memory to load larger more useful models for inference, in a few more generations with better memory bandwidth and improvements, the need for these data centers for consumer inference can hopefully go down. These are low power as well.
They don’t use CUDA though so aren’t great at training, inference only.
That’s definitely a UK/EU thing then. If you get a $5000 cellphone bill in NA because someone did long distance fraud and you have pre authorized debits set up, $5000 is coming out of your account in Canada and USA.
Edit: assuming you have 5k and or have overdraft on the account. Not sure what happens if you have less than 5k and no overdraft. Like I don’t know if it’d take you to $0, or fail and charge you a insufficient fund fee.
The things Samsung has to resort to, to be able to afford ram for its phones after Samsung cut Samsung off from it’s supply.
These services usually have the ability to debit whatever your bill is, and then suddenly their system fucks up, or you get hacked and someone commits fraud, and before you know it a $5000 payment comes out of your account instead of the expected $30.00.
It’s better to have that set up on a credit card in case something happens and you get a much better chance to dispute it.
Thats why any good terms of service have clauses that say if any part of this is deemed unenforceable or not legal or whatever, the rest of the terms remain intact, as I guess at some point in time, people were getting entire documents thrown out based off 1 thing.
I hadn’t really thought about how the furniture is arranged. I wonder if that’s something they sell to designers so they can then see what’s trending. Some of them don’t use cameras, but use lidar, but still getting an overall shape of things would seem useful to a designer.
You’re D:\ has been deleted. I’m very sorry.
We have such copious amounts of excess power but its all in off peak times. We need to build batteries or other storage methods so we can capture it in off peak hours for use during peak hours. It also helps stabilize and strengthen the grid.
We should force these data centers to help foot the bill for that instead of doing the stupid shit they’re doing like portable generators, bring coal plants back online and what not.
In this case wouldn’t it be the leopards eating itself?
A nice roasted tail maybe?
I remember stories of Google intentionally making it hard for people to fork the project and maintain updates on it.
Never heard anything like that about Firefox, but doesn’t mean they don’t.
