"Microsoft Warns Its Windows AI Feature Brings Data Theft and Malware Risks, and 'Occasionally May Hallucinate'" https://tech.slashdot.org/stor...

Itâ(TM)s worth the extra cost to not funnel money into the uneducated and religion mad Middle East.

We only have about 1 billion, maybe 2 billion at max years to figure out how to build a generational starship. That may seem like a long time, but it'll be right up on us in no time. You realize that with present day tech, it's basically impossible. We don't have the faintest idea of how to build a habitat in space. It's not even in the realm of imagination as to how to do it. We need to start funding it at a massive level.

When are countries going to have autonomous humanoid robot soldiers? If only someone had made a movie to warn the public of the dangers of robots we wouldn't be in this predicament.

I understand your pathological need to blame any and everything including tsunamis on capitalism, but do you have any proof the public blamed the engineers over the CEOs for the disaster?

And by the way, you really want to dump this on capitalism? Seriously? If you’re itching to pick a fight, let’s bring Chernobyl into this—because that wasn’t some act of nature. That was your beloved system basically nuking itself through sheer incompetence, or maybe it was because it couldn't stand communism anymore. Either way, it took everyone and their neighbors along for the ride.

on hallucination.

Would love to know what mental gymnastics you use to justify the claim that underfunding explains why he wasn't even allowed to bring a book from home.

Moons in the bright. One eye squares.

Which are?

Did you inherit the farm, or went into it green?

They are basically doing the opposite of libertarian/conservatism stated philosophy which is weak federal government. Instead they are doing straight up socialism (owning stake in companies/production) and exerting power uninvited in states (ICE raids).

We know it was always about tribalism.

Provably false. In the 1990-91 academic year, approximately 25,159 bachelor's degrees and 9,324 master's degrees in computer and information sciences were conferred by postsecondary institutions in the U.S. In 2022 the number was 112,000. Nearly 80% of those were Americans. In other words, today, we have more than triple the number of American computer science graduates than in 1991. You mentioned the year 2000 .. we had 80,000 graduates that year because of how hot CS was due to Y2K and the internet going mainstream. That's still 30% below today's number. US population grew about 20%.

As per capita of the population, the US has more people going into STEM majors than most countries including India. (China and a few European countries may beat us by a small amount.) But India has 5x the population so they have 3x more people enrolled in STEM majors. It feels like India has a lot of tech people because they have a huge population and we only get their IT people (for the most part). So even though IT is actually a much smaller percent of their workforce .. to us it looks like India is full of IT workers.

The biggest reason they don't do that is the CPU generates a large amount of EMI noise, the modem would have to deal with the crosstalk from parasitic coupling.

Why is doesn't China's rail + short & long haul trucking add up to 100%? Is the other 8% boat/car/airplane? If so how come the US number adds up to 100% ?

In the future, phone to satellite as a backup will be important. I hope they are working on making that work properly. It sucks that there are so many areas that have zero service. We've been paying the universal service fee tax for decades now and there's nothing to show for it. I mean, even service in cities still have dead zones. This is 20 years after those "can you hear me now" Verizon ads when they claimed to be testing reception. Phone to satellite would in principle be a lot cheaper than terrestrial because each satellite covers a few thousand square miles .. that much coverage would require a few hundred cell towers.
