    In April, Nigeria asked Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to set concrete deadlines for opening data centers in the country. Nigeria has been making this demand for about four years, but the companies have so far failed to fulfill their promises. Now, Nigeria has set up a working group with the companies to ensure that data is stored within its shores. Just onshoring the data center does not solve the problems. You can't be sure no data travels to the US servers, some data does need to travel to the US servers, and the entire DC is still subject to US software and certificate keychains. It's better, but not good or safe. I need to channel my inner Mike Ehrmantrout to the US tech companies and government: you had a good thing going you stupid son of a bitch. You had everything you needed and it all ran like clockwork. You could have shut your mouth, cooked, and made as much money as you needed, but you just had to blow it up, you and your pride and your ego. Seriously, this is a massive own goal by the US government. This is a massive loss to US hegemony and influence around the world that's never coming back. It has never been easier to build sovereign clouds with off the shelf and open source tooling. The best practices are largely documented, software is commoditized, and there are plenty of qualified people out there these days and governments staring down the barrel of existential risk have finally got the incentive to fund these efforts.

    Large language models and "generative AI" such as Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and DALL-E are all just machine learning models. We do not currently have a real "AI branch" of computer science, we have a branch of machine learning that poses as AI. No matter how good a machine gets at recognizing and predicting patterns, it will not constitute AI, as intelligence is different from pattern recognition and prediction. Even if LLMs can sometimes appear to be reasoning, they importantly are not.

    Indeed—semicolons are usually associated wirh LLMs! But that’s not all! Always remember: use your tools! An LLM „uses“ all types of quotation marks.

    Most major content producers have agreements with YouTube such that as their content is discovered, monetization all goes to the rights holders. In general, this seems like a pretty good idea, and better than copyright maximalism. However, I’ve had original works of my own “monetized by rights holder” because they used my work (with permission) in one of their products, and so now have co-opted all expressions of my work on YouTube. So the system isn’t perfect.

    Their previous GPU used an old AMD GPU design if I recall correctly. I wonder if they have in-house stuff now.

    that's because phone makers were pumping out garbage chargers with bare minimum performance for every single phone, isn't it?
