Vegetables are really bad at rowing though.

For now. 40 years ago, what it does now was impossible science fiction.

Well, the opressed and enslaved usually has no say about changing the law.

On one hand, great; will that extent to software development, architecture and other fields?

On the other hand, sounds like the first step to, when AI and androids reach self awareness and conscience, legally keep them enslaved.

When you can pay to win, to always have the last word… He’ll let them know.

He’s going to be able to harass everyone that had blocked him.

Chess at pro level is brutal. One can get mentally mauled if the adversary has a superior, trained for cruel psychological warfare, mind.

Men just don’t stand a chance.

This headline might be confusing for Americans. Free insulin?

Basically this. I don’t assume that just because it’s E2EE (or says it’s E2EE) it’s privacy safe.

Unless maybe if it’s my own system on both sides, running Linux, connected through some FOSS VPN I’ve set up myself, chatting through nc tunneled through ssh with a 100% silent wired keyboard, no monitor, no network, and everything powered off. Inside an underground lead bunker.

That doesn’t mean I don’t use Teams, Whatsapp, Gmail, etc. I just don’t assume it’s private.

E2E just means it’s encrypted from end to end, iow, it’s not decrypted in the middle of the way.

If I was using an E2E communication application, I, for one wouldn’t automatically assume that meant it was not eavesdropping.

Well, if the loophole works, it’s not like burning tons and tons of fuel for nothing has any downside or consequences at all, right?

Technically they can collect whatever they need, before encrypting to send from E to the other E, and send, with or without encryption, to their servers. The "E"s are the devices on each end, not necessarily the users mouths and ears.

You can send your typed credit card to that site using SSL encryption, but the number can be captured by a keylogger or a screen capture before being encrypted.

It’s the guts of 3.5" floppies, like these, they usually stored 720kB, then 1.44MB, but the latest versions (double sided) were 2.88MB.

The larger one at the bottom is from a 5 1/4" (orange in this picture, the big daddy in the picture is 8", first type I used, with COBOL)

… and now you kids know where the “save” button icon came from.

They were not meant to be removed from their protective envelopes, they’re probably damaged now.

The vegan agenda shows when they crumple everything animal under “meat” and everything vegetable under “vegan”, when there are some vegan foods that have higher cost to the environment to be produced than some animal products, when comparing nutrition to nutrition values.

Instead of going vegan or not having kids, I died when I was 5. Because living also creates more greenhouse gasses.

In fact, having a small footprint is just a matter of choosing how miserable you’re willing to make your life.

Unfortunately the Earth cannot sustainably support so many people living COMFORTABLY, and eating WHATEVER WE LIKE. The more people, the more miserable is the globally sustainable way of life.

Curbing population growth - not Thanos-like, but through education and availability of contraceptive methods - is the only way we can all have the cake (and the meat) and eat it.

Many wealthy countries have their population declining. Maybe if we get to the same level of wealthiness everywhere, less people would engage in procreation.

In any case, if we just do nothing and the doomsday evangelists are even nearly right, extreme weather, plage and famine caused by climate change will indeed curb the population. Eventually it reaches equilibrium.

In this case, the faster we get to the edge of the abyss, the quicker the situation will solve itself.

How would the students fare if they had access to all the information available on the internet, used to train the AI, during the test?

What’s Reddit?
