  1. No, a user / top 10 public company in the AI space.
  2. I don't know how you check AI without doing long division.
  3. and I think that's a hackberry tree so a shit tree too, protected by the city.
  4. medicine is another one - complex answer but a clear right and wrong one too. we are actively looking at / attempting to use AI in legal but it's not anywhere close yet. too much judgment, nuance, leverage, fact and even perception dependent answers. it will eventually help but I really can't see it dominating law like the doomsday sayers assume. but learning early on will be tremendously difficult because that initial learning curve is pretty mundane, clear outcomes. example, my first tasks were often proof reading a prospectus before it went to print. after a year of that, I graduated to revising for a partner, then eventually doing them as the primary. going to have to find a way to learn differently. it's going to be a serious adjustment.
  5. yeah AI is going to eviscerate jobs where the answer is complex but either right or wrong (and CS is often exactly that). though I had chatgpt 4.0 paid version run some easy date calculations so I could figure out a notice deadline and it fucked up a simple calculation of 120 months from a month certain. I posted the screen shot on the AI thread in DT. fucking nuts. we gonna need AI to check AI.

    that's why the right has gone apeshit over trans rights. they realized they lost the gay marriage issue (but haven't yet lost the gay discrimination issue - married today, fired tomorrow is still a thing). but on trans rights it's an apocalyptic approach to ensure we can never get there.
  7. first thing you do is make yourself mobile. at their age, their values will come from you and how you live your life and your values will dictate so much of who they become relative to their relationship with the US as a country. how do you make yourself mobile? well, for me it's first mexican residency, which in turn gets my kids automatic residency. You'd likely want to visit often, but there are no actual residency requirements outside of the financial means requirements which are low for temporary and a bit higher for permanent. Costa Rica is another popular one but I find Costa Rica to be too remote, too under developed, great for a vacation, hard to make a permanent life there though. from there it's a second passport. Mexico is one but it's like the US, tests, language proficiency, etc. there are several pathways to the EU, from Malta just paying cash for citizenship to the golden visas of Portugal and others. Malta is instant (once approved) citizenship for cash, the others are a 10 year process started with investment and residency first. Rules change periodically but I suspect US expats will always have a route in some form or fashion. the Caribbean island nations also have passports for sale (instant once approved). Be aware the instant passports are not cheap, they are usually well over $100,000 like $150,000 or something. But if you absolutely need one, it's a small price to pay to have global freedom. with Mexican residency, a US passport and a second passport in the EU or in the Caribbean then you can travel pretty much anywhere and if the passport is the EU (or if you have EU nation-state residency from a golden visa program) then you can reside anywhere in the EU. That should be a 3-5 year plan but by the 5th year you should have options that allow you to go when you want - i.e. have at least one residency visa outside the US. from there, it's travel, even if modest it doesn't matter, open their eyes to the world. from there, it's looking at colleges in other countries like the EU. I can't get my kids to think about anything but UT but they are also near adulthood so we can reason with them regarding when to leave, especially if i can convince my ex to allow mexican residency "just because we can" right now. foreign languages, focusing on emerging and dominant fields are all great, but it starts with you building YOUR framework for mobility and then your values for that mobility will nearly automatically pass on to your kids. as for the criticisms for posting - fuck that noise - this shit is horrible. the amount of grief, fear, angst, anger, frustration, sadness, depression, fatigue, lethargy that the decline and the HATE causes is sometimes too much to bear. I'm sitting on our own applications for Mexican residency and haven't sent them to our facilitator for all of those emotional reasons and I have a clear and present danger in front of me that should have me sprinting to the goal. so post away and fuck the rest. but again, focus on YOUR mobility and your kids will have it ingrained in them by the time it matters (plus it's a lot cheaper to drag them along as minors than it is for them to have to qualify on their own as adults later).
  8. Is there a way to record on espn+ ? I have the espn app and YouTube tv… can’t watch until 4pm. Grrr. alternatively anyone know if the Texas game will be on demand after?
  9. I used google and the source I found said it varies but 75MW would power about 75k homes, for purposes of scale 62,500 isn’t much less.
  10. I just negotiated a single data center deal, 75 MW... all for AI. And this building already has an existing 75 MW and may expand an additional 75 MW. racks all water cooled. absolute drain. 75 MW should power approximately 75,000 homes. This one facility, one fucking building will suck up 225,000 homes worth of power. jesus christ.
  11. in the meantime people don't realize it has a massive impact on our energy consumption and our planet. I personally think it should be outlawed except for critical functions where it could make the world better - human assisted diagnosis in medicine, data analysis in astronomy, physics, etc. but this education, pop culture and general business use is a fucking scourge.
  12. my experience today (I'm the one asking questions)... they told chatgpt there would be no math...
  13. for those of you that can relate...
  14. Heard Greg Casar speak tonight at a fundraiser, well spoken basically said corporate incrementalism won’t cut it, we need to be the party of the working class, with promises to raise the SS tax on millionaires, lower Medicare age to 60 (actually Medicare for all), and other similar radical ideas, allow differences on some issues while treating people decently (he railed on Gavin being Republican lite), and rally workers in an us versus the billionaires platform. It was good.

    I’m tired of being the strongest person I know just to fucking be able to live a life most just get to take for granted. Its exhausting. I pretty much want to quit life today.

    might wait to see what happens i'm sure a losing lawsuit will be filed, can't imagine DPS won't look to retroactively make the changes.

    229 passed it’s headed to abbott’s desk. Counter measures activated. One less dem voter in Texas next go round. Oh well. It was a nice run for 49 years. Hook em and uh … God Bless California? Colorado? New Mexico? We’ll see.
  19. It’s just a missing quotation mark, geez.
  20. I think my wife has a clause in her will giving her electronic and computer wire box - which is mostly AC adapters - to my sons.
  21. you sure y'all are talking about the same thing?
  22. that's a fair point, but their pitching still showed up well.
  23. timing is everything. we aren't mid season texas until we prove it on the field.
