Friends, what does your work-managed browser look like?

@mindpersephone @neil common misconception, that’s actually double illegal

@whitequark it has to be AI generated at this point, you’d think there would be some interview somewhere saying it but I’ve never found one. TSMC’s own periodic sustainability reports are in dollars, maybe you could convert using price data?

@whitequark the one number I’ve ever seen (couldn’t ever find a source, everyone just repeats it) is that one advanced TSMC fab uses 500,000 cubic meters of helium a year. If it’s used as a purge gas like you mentioned in another comment I imagine it’s very low reclamation but I don’t know if that number takes reclamation into account (even if it’s not made up).

@whitequark helium is non-reactive, so it’s used as a carrier gas and a chamber control gas (fill the chamber with it and flow your chemical vapor deposition gases into that environment). Different gases have different effects on the temperature control of the chamber for different materials’ growth processes. As a carrier gas I believe helium has the most use in Si-doping.

@mhoye there’s a video game about this

@whitequark “surely it just means differing output structure to accommodate the formatting, right?”

No, it just produces code that won’t compile. In a refactoring tool.

(Haha, didn’t see the post a minute before mine with the exact same snip)

@ariadne

@LeslieBurns I am very excited to see if/how OpenAI raises Section 230 in this case. It seems wildly different to other lawsuits against AI companies, the existing litigation looks closer to traditional publisher liability than these facts. In my mind, the fact that the (allegedly) vexatious litigant supposedly went looking for someone else’s characterization of her case’s facts and received a characterization that caused her to take all these actions would go against calling the prompt output user speech, and would support the inducement theory.

@keyboards what on earth is this keycap set

@molly0xfff all my prompts gone
