And how did no one think about a fallback in case of a outage? I bet some of the tech people thought about it and management said: “No, we don’t want the consumers to have a functioning unit without internet access. We need the data!”.
Btw. same with the new Windows 11 setup. There’s no technical reason for a computer without internet access to deny the installation.
Well nearly all right wing parties roll back climate protection policies. We are so fucked.
Yes and no one but crypto needs that. Everyone else is much better served with traditional databases.
Blockchain solves a specific problem: safe transactions without a trusted authority.
It has a lot of downsides to solve this problem without a trusted authority, so in any case where you can use a trusted authority (for example a central server) it’s much better to use that instead of a blockchain.
So everyone who added blockchains to their projects gained all the downsides while never having the problem it was meant to solve in the first place.
AIs, and I assume you meant LLMs with that, are a different breed. LLMs are new: never before could a computer handle natural language to such a degree.
Problem is, that it’s still new. So no one knows what the “killer applications” are or what monetization should look like, or what the laws about it will be.
People just throw every against the wall and see what sticks… And hope for AGI/ASI and to be on the side that rides that nearly infinite potential to the moon.
Or, you know, crash and burn in case AI reaches a wall/diminishing returns/systemic problems that can’t be fixed.
We will see.
Well, if there is a combination of drugs that will give you telepathy, Kanyes chances wouldn’t be bad that he took them.
Ah, I simply avoid that problem by being neither cute nor hot - and therefore single.
Plus he’s probably just not in the files because Epstein had young girls.
Probably creates by a group of middle-aged men who never touched a console.
People with no idea about the product who simply looked at the target demographics and thought:
"What do teenage boys like? Sex.
Let’s go with that since research is hard."
It might be that bad. Most ‘damage’ (as publishers see it) comes from distribution, not the download itself. Depending on how they acquired the books, it might be not be much of a problem.
Just waiting for the first decision made because of AI hallucinations.
With this government? You might get disappeared to a black site because a LLM “decided” that you probably are a terrorist…
Oh yeah, I overlooked that detail.
What the hell? If they just asked ChatGPT it would have been much better:
Repository: A folder of project files on the internet.
Fork: Your own copy of that folder to make changes.
Pull Request: A way to ask, “Can my changes go back into the original folder?”
OG Star Wars - chewbacca, but instead of a guy in a costume just a really hairy dude
All programs can be written with on less line of code. All programs have at least one bug.
By the logical consequences of these axioms every program can be reduced to one line of code - that doesn’t work.
One day AI will get there.
It’s an elder scrolls game… It’s going to be modded into … Oblivion
He was flushing down evidence. Discriminating papers and the like.
And because he is a toddler incapable of distinguishing between himself and other people he thinks this is a general problem.
And they bought Paintshop pro and destroyed it
How the hell are we supposed to install it without a Internet connection? I worked in a company that was so hard on security that only certified machines were allowed access to the net, so virtual machines were not allowed to access the LAN and therefore the Internet. Generally not a problem as we just used them to test software on different OS versions, so no Internet required.
This change disallows all offline installs. What is their gain? Are they that keen on our data or are they planning to use the connection to a Microsoft account for something even worse than just selling personal information? I could think of a few reasons and none are nice…
Tech could make our life easier, if only the fruits of increased efficiency would go towards us all instead of the few rich people at the top.
The ‘S’ on IoT stands for security!
