Comment Obligations of an AI (Score 1) 62

The AI didnâ(TM)t give the optimal response to the kids words. Nor did the parents. Does an AI have the duty to actively prevent suicide? The quoted text did not make me think of suicide coming.

Now "I want to kill myself. Should I use sleeping tablets"? that should get an answer like "you told me a lot about your situation. Trust me when I say that suicide is an awfully bad idea. You have sixty years of life ahead of you. Do you really want to throw that away because of some stupid bitches?"

It seems you donâ(TM)t have a clue. If you have a USB-C port you can plug in anything from 40 or 80 gigabit USB-4 (display port), 20 Gbit USB 3.2, 10 Gbit USB 3.1, or 480Mbit USB-2, and it will all work. Thatâ(TM)s what you want. The USB-C ports are identical. You cannot confuse them. You get the speed of the plugged-in device.

Comment Transgender (Score 1) 209

Two white German transgender women were refused entry, because according to the US border morons they were travelling with forged passports saying they were women and not men. Iâ(TM)m not waiting until they come for me, and a post calling Trump a f***ing moron is probably enough to get me arrested.

Lots of cruises through the Caribbean start in Florida, I wonâ(TM)t be on any of them.

Comment Re: Why? (Score 1) 209

About the homosexuality: It seems Mohammed didnâ(TM)t like gay people at all, but also didnâ(TM)t want to slaughter many thousands. As a result, a conviction requires 4 living witnesses, with woman only counting as half a witness. Cameras donâ(TM)t count.

Most people can live without having sex in front of 4 witnesses.

Comment Re:"If plaintiff didn't read her contract ..." (Score 2) 77

Sadly unlikely as this is being fought in the US where you're allowed to lie, cheat and mislead customers to your hearts content...

Not "to your hearts content". You can make some lies, which may even mislead the buyer, but a contract is a contract and what it says in a contract is what goes.

Apple uses a different definition of "buying": You pay, you download it, and it is yours. Since it is yours, it's your responsibility to look after it (making backups etc. ). You lose it, its gone. Just like a CD or DVD. You bought it, but if you lose it its gone.

Now in addition and be nice to customers (and to avoid many complaints) Apple lets you download the item again and again as long as they are selling it, but not after that. But that is not what you bought, that's just Apple being nice. What you bought is the copy on your computer plus the backups.

Comment Three choices (Score 1) 58

They have three choices: Trust the guy and continue using his code. Good luck. Or donâ(TM)t trust the guy, and everyone replaces his package with some other code. If you trust it. Good luck. Or donâ(TM)t trust the guy, and hire three or four guys who are trustworthy, competent and willing to comb through his code looking for bugs or backdoors. The only problem is finding the guys, and finding the money to pay them. That could be a winning move and lead to better code.
