Problem is that what we dont need is beat cops who go around harassing people because their skin is too dark. What we actually need is detectives capable of catching killers and fences, but the incentives are to go harass minorities

Victim race too.

The only Honda electric scooter I’ve actually seen in the US has been the Motocompacto

I suggest checking.

No, but its better to understand what happened instead of some fiction being pushed by local officials.

When you do frequent midnight alerts for missing elderly, people disable the alerts on their phone entirely. Then when disaster hits, they don’t know its coming. And because no planning was done for it, they can’t evacuate a camp full of kids quickly enough even if they know what’s about to happen.

Actually preventing this kind of thing means maintaining preparedness for decades when nothing happens.

Yes, but the city officials had their boss replaced by state with one who had a mandate to cut spending. Wikipedia does a better job of getting that part right:

In April 2014, during a financial crisis, state-appointed emergency manager Darnell Earley changed Flint’s water source from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (sourced from Lake Huron and the Detroit River) to the Flint River.[7] Residents complained about the taste, smell, and appearance of the water. Officials failed to apply corrosion inhibitors to the water, which resulted in lead from aging pipes leaching into the water supply, exposing around 100,000 residents to elevated lead levels.

The problem started in 2014, when a state-appointed administrator took over and stopped measures which had been used to limit corrosion, sharply increasing peoples’ exposure to lead from the old pipes.

If they even have a home country

When someone has been in the US for decades, and now has no real ties to where they were born, deportation is often a death sentence

What’s different is that they’re not grabbing people who are white off the street and out of stores at random.

To be clear, the bill making clean energy expensive and illegal hasn’t passed yet. You can still tell your Senators and congresscritter to vote against it.

No, but it means you won’t be able to eat the rich.

They don’t directly kill people; they make people allergic to mammal meat, so that they can’t eat that any more.

For what its worth, Anthropic posted this in their corporate blog. So if its a joke, its coming out of vetted corporate PR.

The tendency in recent years has been to find that its worse than people realized. Just how much worse is the mystery.

Given its current state, this is a singularly bad idea.

So long as people willing to lie have a megaphone and power, the “debate” never ends

This requires money to pay for the drugs in the first place

That’s why it was a government program. Government doesn’t need to put profit first

By customer is easy: they’re each renting specific resources. A fractional cloud instance (excepting the sma burst able ones) is tied to specific CPUs and GPUs. And there are records of who rented which one when being kept already.

You might not be able to break out specific individual queries, but computing averages is completely straightforward

You can produce a remarkably good estimate by looking at CPU and GPU utilization out of procfs and profiling a handful of similar machines power use with similar utilization and workloads.

Network is less than 5% of power use for non-GPU loads; probably less for GPU.
