Or removed "people" they had on employers payrolls who mysteriously returned to India when an audit was done?

My wife - who tends to always forget her password - has a windows 11 laptop.

She didn't write it down? That was too difficult for someone who always forgets their password?

Without profit driven, you end up with what LA has: 5 Billion dollars missing in various "help the homeless" scan non profits.

Or three bankrupt casinos ("The money I took out of there was incredible."), failing golf courses, a failed airline, a failed "university", and other businesses which never turned a profit. It's almost as if the point was not to generate a profit, but scam people out of their money.

Let's say in the next 100 years the Pacific Ocean rises 1 inch. At the same time Shanghai, which is on the coast, sinks 1 foot. That is 13 inches of change. If the city is only a few feet above sea level, that one foot makes a huge difference when it comes to drain water runoff, sewage dispersion, tunnels, etc.

For reference, Shanghai has sunk 3 meters in the past 100 years.

So, that would be aimed at the casino who prey on the naive and desperate?

...unless you have control of <everything> and decide it's more convenient for you if you further increase the distance between moral and legal.

Of course the word 'require' has a peculiar meaning in these situation:

'Want' with a side order of coercion.

This seems wrong to me.

Whatever the reasoning behind the suspect's right to keep a password to themselves in this situation, this should be extended to biometrics.

The thumbprint is a proxy for the password - a convenience which ties something known only to the person to something uniquely theirs amongst all humans.

The fact that someone could use your thumbprint (or key to your house) if you were unconscious is besides the point.

If I leave my personal belongings in the garden, are they suddenly public property? No. If they're behind a door? No.

Inside or outside, they're mine and without permission they may not be removed. Additional convenience does not confer additional rights.

The password belongs to the suspect as does the password proxy and neither may be used by others if the password may not.

Leaving the password in public view does not grant rights to it any more than leaving one's belongings in the garden.

Read that part again. It's not that the school costs that much, it's that the finance charges on these "loans" could pile up over time. Just like any loan which isn't paid off and interest continues to accrue.

Why do you think so many people owe more on their student/medical loan than the original value of the loan? They didn't pay enough of it off fast enough so the interest kept adding to their total loan cost.

An Eisenberg would be involved in illegal monetary dealings. Wonder if he is good friends with this guy.

Stereotypes exist for a reason.

It is not soldered on. It is on-die. The SSD is soldered on.

LLMs cannot do it. Hallucination is baked-in.

LLMs alone definitely can't do it. LLMs, however, seem (to me, speaking for myself as an ML developer) to be a very likely component in an actual AI. Which, to be clear, is why I use "ML" instead of "AI", as we don't have AI yet. It's going to take other brainlike mechanisms to supervise the hugely flawed knowledge assembly that LLMs generate before we even have a chance to get there. Again, IMO.

I'd love for someone to prove me wrong. No sign of that, though. :)

I'll be impressed when one of these ML engines is sophisticated enough to be able to say "I don't know" instead of just making up nonsense by stacking probabilistic sequences; also it needs to be able tell fake news from real news. Although there's an entire swath of humans who can't do that, so it'll be a while I guess. That whole "reality has a liberal bias" truism ought to be a prime training area.

While I certainly understand that the Internet and its various social media cesspools are the most readily available training ground(s), it sure leans into the "artificial stupid" thing.

Clearly this is a great step forward for humanity.

It sure is. Eventually we won't have to put pilot's lives at risk. Just send a machine.

the border crisis,

You mean this border "crisis"?

crumbling infrastructure,

Republicans, almost to a one, voted against a wide-ranging infrastructure bill, then bragged about all the money their districts were getting for infrastructure.

and general loss of civil rights

Yes, Republicans have been working hard to take away people's civil rights. From taking away one's right to control their own body to bannning books so you can't read them, to trying to prevent entire groups from voting, they are working as hard as they can to impose an iron grip on people's lives and destroy our freedoms.
