Whoever is providing the communications infrastructure to the Australian caller would be offering a service in Australia (5g masts, fibre, customer service etc.)
Only if the call is going via satellite owned by non-Australians could you avoid this.
- Comment on U.S. government takes 10% stake in Intel, as Trump expands control over private sector 2 days ago:
The entomology is irrelevant. No-one should have a problem with MAGA leaders being referred to as Nazis.
- Comment on do what you love 2 days ago:
A PhD is only worth it (both in time and money) if you have a real interest in what you are researching.
- Comment on U.S. government takes 10% stake in Intel, as Trump expands control over private sector 3 days ago:
There were fascists in Europe until the 1970s.
The MAGA movement is fascist but it also has strong overtones of Nazi (blaming immigrants, camps, detention without due peocess).
Yes, there is nationalism without any socialism, but saying they shouldn’t be called Nazis is diminishing the evil that is currently being done.

I am new to this resemblance. Thank you.
- Comment on U.S. government takes 10% stake in Intel, as Trump expands control over private sector 3 days ago:
Nazis are a particularly evil type of fascist. It is the entire point of the lable.
- Comment on 95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds 4 days ago:
We are using the word extend in different ways.
It’s like statistics. If you have extreme data points A and B then the algorithm is great at generating new values between known data. Ask it for new values outside of {A,B}, to extend into the unknown, and it falls over (usually). True in both traditional statistics and machine learning
- Comment on 95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds 4 days ago:
It’s extrapolating from data.
AI is interpolating data. It’s not great at extrapolation. That’s why it struggles with things outside its training set.
- Comment on Jimmy Wales Says Wikipedia Could Use AI. Editors Call It the 'Antithesis of Wikipedia' 4 days ago:
“The metaverse” changed it’s definition depending on who you talked to. Some definitions didn’t even include VR.
“AI” also changes it’s definition depending on who you talk to.
Vague definitions = hype

You need to think about area. That’s a lot of ghost pepper.

Pickering has made copies of the T-shirt, which he is selling through his own website to raise money for the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians. It has sold in 28 countries already.

- Comment on AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over 1 week ago:
Transformers were the kick-start for this generation of AI. Given the flood of money and brains into the area there will be more innovation.
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 1 week ago:
Yes. The capitalist takeover leaves the bitter taste. If OpenAI was actually open then there would be much less backlash and probably more organic revenue.
- Comment on AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over 1 week ago:
Other algorithms and combination architectures will be invented/rediscovered.
Now AI has relationships between tokens. AGI needs concepts to be related, amongst other things.
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 1 week ago:
The thing they created was a mathematical algorithm.
Trust me, it has no feelings.
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 1 week ago:
I’m quite happy for a forklift driver to stack pallets and then claim they did it.
- Comment on AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over 1 week ago:
AI will move past LLMs
- Comment on Crypto mogul Do Kwon, known as ‘the cryptocurrency king,’ pleads guilty to fraud charges 1 week ago:
True. But the recent itch.io controversy was NGO lead.
- Comment on Worst part about living in Europe 1 week ago:
Or drinking less soda
- Comment on Crypto mogul Do Kwon, known as ‘the cryptocurrency king,’ pleads guilty to fraud charges 1 week ago:
It can happen. That would involved cutting off access to all crypto for that individual. It’s not common.
Even on the token side there are often blacklist addresses (e.g. USDC) that perform a similar function. Usually for hacks rather than terrorism.
- Comment on Crypto mogul Do Kwon, known as ‘the cryptocurrency king,’ pleads guilty to fraud charges 1 week ago:
It’s called a use case because you can use it.
What’s the benefit here?
An additional vector to avoid censorship.
- Comment on Crypto mogul Do Kwon, known as ‘the cryptocurrency king,’ pleads guilty to fraud charges 1 week ago:
If the protocol is badly designed, yes.
In theory, the stakers should only be rewarded for correctly confirming transaction and that capital (staked tokens) should carry no votes in any protocol changes.
- Comment on Crypto mogul Do Kwon, known as ‘the cryptocurrency king,’ pleads guilty to fraud charges 1 week ago:
What you’re saying is that it’s impossible to buy porn/erotica online without monero
I haven’t said anything like that.
I’m saying crypto is an additional, uncensored payment channel.

And fancier intellisense
- Comment on Crypto mogul Do Kwon, known as ‘the cryptocurrency king,’ pleads guilty to fraud charges 1 week ago:
You would use real currencies for everything except the transfer. The consumer only sees USD. The provider swaps back to Fiat as soon as necessary.
The use case is enabling payment over the Internet while avoiding traditional, censoring providers.
- Comment on Crypto mogul Do Kwon, known as ‘the cryptocurrency king,’ pleads guilty to fraud charges 1 week ago:
It’s a 3rd use case.
