Suck them both.

"buildings won't be moved and created just because of your romantic notions. Juvenile delusions."

You just replied to a well known bot some clown has created by training a LLM on rsilvergun's posts. And you did it by saying something really stupid. Nice work there, sport.

I am not allowed to install software on my work machine and there's an approval process. IT can have a real text editor but I can't.

Granted this is partly a problem with my employer but it wasn't a problem until Microsoft ruined software I was using daily.

And why do they keep giving them?

At this point it's natural to conclude that B1zX is run by literal Nazis.

Some bitch came along and down modded my last three comments again. What a shock. It's too bad slashdot is now anti fact and anti science.

1) HSR needs to travel at a multiple of the speed of highway traffic to be considered HSR by most people, I suspect. If a HSR train travelled down the median of a highway and the trains travelled at the same speed as traffic (60-80 MPH), what's the benefit (aside from reduced carbon), and you travel to/from train stations (not your driveway) and on the HSR train's schedule (not whenever you want)...

2) The issue isn't the land between cities, it's the land near the cities - If I'm running a train from Chicago to Denver, for example, there's very little "public land" the Gov't could just give HSR lines, and if you have to put the HSR station 20 miles outside downtown Denver of Chicago, that alone becomes a barrier to access (sure add a bus/light rail line, but that only slightly impacts the issue of access from anywhere inside Denver of Chicago, for example).

I don't think a 50% bump in the on-hand inventory is real a dramatic increase. If Lenovo used to keep 30 days on memory in-stock and now they have 45 days in-stock, that's not such a big deal in my opinion - when I hear Mfg "stockpiling" parts, they are making significant investments like one supplier I work with, they heard a particular part required for their current product was being discontinued, so they ordered a 12 month supply to carry then until they can engineer a new product with a different part - that is what I think of when I hear someone is "stockpiling" a component.

The same Technology that made the "white man" more fit is also now destroying the environment and making us all unfit.

Ukraine can't be Nazi because it is not operated along Nazi ideals, and because the majority of the population is not made up of Nazis, not because of who sits in the big chair. Having Nazis in it doesn't make it Nazi. Nazis went all over the place, and there are descendants of Nazis who may still hold Nazi ideals all over the place. Ukraine has a neo-Nazi problem, but so does the USA. Do you call the USA a Nazi country? It sure does look a lot closer than Ukraine right now.

Probably they are tired of people's stupid fucking responses. This is approximately the first time I've pointed that out without getting downmodded, and it's not too late for that to happen either. Only one of these proposed reactors has received type approval and then NuScale decided not to build one because it wouldn't be profitable even if someone else split the costs with them. My only question is, are the people I see frothing for SMRs invested in the scams, or just so dazzled by promises of shiny shit that they will attack anyone who points out the emperor's lack of clothing? I suppose that this can only be answered on a case by case basis, but I'm having trouble imagining a credible third option.

It's the only quote I ever use about AI.

As soon as I realise an article, or an image or whatever is AI generated, I just stop and go elsewhere, and often just block that channel/page/site/user.

At this point, it's openly discriminatory as a policy, as far as I'm concerned. This was AI - NOT YOU - making this and I'm not interested in the output of an AI. If I were, I'd just go onto an AI and have it make that, rather than pick it up from some other third-hand place that reposted it.

The irony of "social" media being almost nothing but AI nowadays is so laughable. Facebook was there for me to talk to my friends and family, see how my old school friends were doing, etc. etc. etc. and after becoming just a bunch of curated junk it turned to shit and I basically stopped bothering. And now it's just AI and reposts because everyone else stopped bothering to post too.

I come to Slashdot, for example, not for the articles. They're just there to promote discussion. I come to interact with people and read what people think.

Native means comes with the system. If you have to download it separately, it isn't native. It used to mean built in and operating without translation layers, but modern software is generally built with layers on layers from the get-go so that's no longer a meaningful distinction.

Windows' support for basic VGA mode does not constitute meaningful support for GPUs which have not been released because you can use almost none of the functionality. So sure, it "supports" them... but only well enough to download a driver for actual support. Anything supported for more than the most trivial mode actually is supported with a driver more complex than Standard VGA already included in the system.

"Linux" does not have printing support, it has support for the technologies needed to connect to a printer. "<x distribution> Linux" has printing support.

Also companies can't grow forever but their CEO's are expected to grow it anyway. They cannot allow AI to fail, because soon getting rid of most of their employees will be the only way to show financial growth.

... The whole point of AI is to fake things!

The difference is that when combines were invented there was plenty of room for every company to grow in many ways. Big companies bought up small farms and became more profitable through economies of scale. They managed the number of people working for them but decreasing labor costs were not the main focus. Also labor was cheap because housing/food/transportation were much cheaper relative to the average wage than today. A grocery bagger who made 25 cents an hour back then could live much better than someone making the equivalent $13 per hour today. Look at Facebook, making billions on social media but still making desperate attempts to get VR and smart glasses going. All the farms are now bought up but companies still have to make bigger profits year over year. CEOs are desperate for pennies these days. The only thing they can do is focus on cannibalizing themselves. This is why there is so much excitement for AI from large corporations. They see it as an out for an issue that they have been fighting for a long time. AI can only be profitable if it means companies can dump employees.. Let that sink in in the context of the CEO lying awake at night thinking about how to find more profits. AI will not be allowed to fail because for a lot of executives this is their only chance to make their boards happy. I'm sorry I don't have better news, but I'm just the messenger.
