Insert required Fuck Intuit/TurboTax/CreditKarma here, who spends billions to make the tax system stays as complicated as it is.

The IRS already knows how much everyone should be paying, so just give us a single bill already.

Pretty sure they're all mirrored off one of the first two? The reflections don't work right.

You may say that jokingly, but at some point if the tech keeps improving, that may be the only way the world continues to exist without destabilizing. OpenAI already says* that their end goal is to make the world powered by a form of universal basic income by having AI do most jobs. Having the AI be paid on task completion and distributing that accumulated wealth, removing a portion to cover maintenance, would be one method of doing so.

*that said, the words of a potential megacorporation aren't really to be trusted, and the whole thing would have massive issues of "how do you distribute the money" and "what am I giving up in terms of personal safety and privacy". Having to make an account with a specific AI company and providing all your governmental identification to receive that funds for example would be terrible.

There's tradeoffs. If training LLMs (and similar systems that feed on pure physics data) can improve nuclear processes, then overall it could be a net benefit. Fusion energy research takes a huge amount of power to trigger every test ignition and we do them all the time, learning little by little.

The real question is if the LLMs are even capable of revealing those kinds of insights to us. If they are, nuclear is hardly the worst path to go down.

Given how repairable the steam deck already is, it'd be nice if it could be pushed one step further and make some sort of mini-socket for the SoC.

Obviously that's not a Valve thing to do but an AMD, and trying to downscale a desktop CPU socket style is primed for failure (a lot of companies are soldering on for a reason), but if AMD could make a standardized "whole system chip" that can just be swapped every generation, you wouldn't have to purchase the chassis over and over again.

Android to take an “upstream first” development model for the Linux kernel (arstechnica.com)

The Linux Plumbers Conference is this week, and since Android is one of the biggest distributors of the Linux kernel in the world, Google software engineer Todd Kjos stopped by for a progress report from the Android team. Android 12—which will be out any day now—promises to bring Android closer than ever to mainline Linux by...

Fidelity9373 ,

Yeah, I saw "Android 12" and got confused. 13's been out for a while now, and 14 has open betas on some phones...

Looking at Destiny. Game worked okay on Linux before they integrated Battleye, which HAS Linux support, but Bungie just doesn't want to interact with it.

By the looks of it, pretty much. Not in the sense of building an AI model, but more like traditional image recognition. Seems to process everything locally too, which is a plus; no sending data off to unknown servers.

Depends on how they're inverting the power. If they're sticking with the DC voltage straight from the panel, that's probably one thick cable. If each panel or group of panels has an inverter to go to high voltage (AC or DC) to a central location, you can proportionally scale the thickness as voltage increases.

Public domain, as the photos were taken by a state employee, so no one is getting sued for selling them... not for that reason, anyway.

Fidelity9373 ,

Aside from the obvious fighting and bidding over an already claimed single domain name, what factors into the inherent pricing of a domain?

Fidelity9373 ,

Not even a conductor at all, apparently.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.06256 this group (mentioned jn the article above) synthesized a fully pure crystal, and found that has a resistance in the several megaohms at room temperature. Just a purple piece of glass, functionally speaking. The thoughts of superconductivity was due to random copper sulfate impurities which DO conduct electricity.

Every battery has a voltage curve though; even alkaline batteries will drop off the 1.5v region after some time. Comparatively, ni-mh rechargeables will hold 1.2v more consistently and for longer than an alkaline, where it's voltage drops pretty quickly as the battery dies.
