  • Gavin Newsom is Not a Progressive

  • He thinks children shouldn't be allowed to transition even with parent/guardian permission.

    By the way, are you aware that transition is most effective when done before or during puberty, which for most people means well before 18? It saves a lot of money overall on surgeries and such, as I understand. Hunter Schafer transitioned as a teenager, and you if you look up photos of her you can see that it worked very well for her.

  • I'm not claiming that this change in how eyes work would be an improvement. I'm claiming that the following does not hold generally: "Doesn't have adaptation X ⇒ adaptation X would not improve fitness."

  • He also thinks children shouldn't be allowed to transition genders.

    Ending purity tests doesn't mean we can't criticize or demand better of someone.

  • The problem is that the landscape of where the global maxima are changes faster than evolution can keep up. If the environment were entirely static, then yes, mathematically speaking any random optimizer would eventually reach a global maximum. However, it could take, say, 1050 years or more to jump from a local maximum to a distant, higher maximum.

  • Okay true, but I still feel the comment was misleading. If it were phrased as "If vertebrae don't have it, it means it wouldn't improve their fitness" it would be wrong. I'll admit that the comment as worded is true, but it does depend on a very literal interpretation of what "needs" means. Why even post that? In my opinion, that makes it low-quality content, so worth a downvote.

  • that's not how evolution works. Evolution is not able to produce global maxima, only local maxima.

  • ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity

    Jump

  • That doesn't seem right. By my calculations it should be like 5¢. Can you show your work?

    Edit: didn't read. You said "per thousand requests."

  • For reference, this roughly equivalent to playing a PS5 game for 4 minutes (based on their estimate) to 10 minutes (their upper bound)

    source https://www.ecoenergygeek.com/ps5-power-consumption/

    Typical PS5 usage: 200 W

    TV: 27 W - 134 W → call it 60 W

    URI's estimate: 18 Wh / 260 W → 4 minutes

    URI's upper bound: 48 Wh / 260 W →10 minutes

  • Meet the AI vegans. They are refusing to use artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons

  • I don't really agree that "everyone knows this" when everyone I know talks about environmentalism almost exclusively in terms of individual impact.

  • We let environmentalism become an individual issue, and that was a mistake. Can we not do this for AI? It's a society-wide problem, not something you can solve by measuring your own personal AI footprint.

  • Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK

    Jump

  • The news can't easily report on users actually returning to piracy; who would admit to it? And how would you get data on it? Much easier to truthfully report on users who talk about returning to piracy.
