Right, but in that metaphor, the study changes nothing, that was my point.

Yeah, I think that's a pretty solid theory. Makes more sense when looked at that way.

Crab Rangoon's. I just don't like them. I mean it's just fried cream cheese.

My understanding is that DeepSeek still used Nvidia just older models

That's the funniest part here, the sell off makes no sense. So what if some companies are better at utilizing AI than others, it all runs in the same hardware. Why sell stock in the hardware company? (Besides the separate issue of it being totally overvalued at the moment)

This would be kind of like if a study showed that American pilots were more skilled than European pilots, so investors sold stock in airbus... Either way, the pilots still need planes to fly...

Where do you people come from where "I don't negotiate with terrorists" is a normal phrase that teachers say to children?

I hear it often enough, I'm from MA. I don't know what to tell you, but it's a common expression.

Here's the scenario, often as an adult you have to tell children what to do, (eat your dinner, get dressed, we have to leave now, etc). Sometimes they start making ultimatums or threats over issues that really aren't up for debate, "No! I won't do X unless Y!" - that kind of thing. It's at that point one might use that expression, it's really not uncommon.

Hey, maybe the phrase isn't in your normal vocabulary, but you're going to have to accept that it is in a lot of other people's normal vocabulary. You don't have to like it, but it's a fact, and it's generally best to just accept facts, cause you don't really have other options.

So given that this is a normal thing to say, it was still a pretty massive fuck up. Being put on leave is probably an appropriate response. Was it racist? I'm like 85% sure no.

The dude makes music. This is a paycheck. You are overthinking things.

A modern marvel. Isn't it amazing what they can do these days?

Unless this means that the mayor and police chief agree to deploy Newark Police to physically stop and detain ICE agents, knowing damn well that a confrontation could end in a bloodbath, that is exactly what they will do.

Bullshit! It would absolutely not. Feds and local cops butt heads all the time, and never leads to a bloodbath, just bruised egos. Local cops would probably love the chance to be the ones to take something away from a federal agency.

This is my concern exactly.

This seems like a neat prank, but a potentially expensive one. Heck, if it works right you could end up with several bots stuck in your maze, perhaps dozens of hundreds. At that point bandwidth becomes my concern.

That's right, protons are just hydrogen nuclei/hydrogen ions. And your right, there is no distinction between electricity and the movement is ionized particles.

The primary difference i see here is that almost always when we talk about electricity we're talking about moving electrons. But there's no reason you couldn't utilize an organism which moves hydrogen ions for some sort of electrical device. I would imagine it's much harder to move protons though as they're immensely more massive than electrons, so I wonder about speed and efficiency, but it could be really cool in some specific applications.

If nothing else, you could siphon off the hydrogen ions as a sort of fuel cell, that outputs hydrogen and electricity.

And even if they could, it would simply end in all management leaving the company the next day, the company going bankrupt and all of the empolyees losing their jobs.

The management would all leave? I wonder how often that actually happens? I'd totally believe never. If you offered the management a lot less money, they could walk, but more likely, only some would walk. And in any case, then you could also promote employees from within the company. I bet there's a department manager that wouldn't mind the huge pay increase that comes with a c-level promotion, even if it does come with a million dollar bonus rather than a billion.

If you adjusted salaries slowly, say over the course of 5 years, managers could leave (if they really wanted to) gradually, you'd have time to replace people for a much smoother transition.

I'm pretty sure that's discrimination at that point. He can change laws and prevent people from being hired, but laying people off/firing people over this will violate some serious civil rights laws, ADA, ADEA, EEOC, that kind of thing.

I think he's probably already crossing the line, i'd be surprised if this stands.
