You can't have privacy as long as governments depend on taxes for their finances.

To Elon they are NPCs.

Starlink knows the location of its terminals. They can simply whitelist Ukrainian terminals and geofence everything else so that it does not work in Ukraine.

Censorship comments make no sense because here terminals are only being switched on where they are allowed. This condition would not apply to people in countries seeking to evade censorship given Starlink is complicit in facilitating censorship in places like China.

Geofencing is baked into their business model so they very much have the capability. For example there is an extra fee to use Starlink beyond the internal waters of a country.

The real issue is Elon Musk is a Nazi.

Crypto transactions can be traced back through the (public) blockchain. A service where you deposit some tainted crypto and then are handed an equal value of others (minus a service charge) makes tracing those new coins back to their (illicit) source very difficult.

IOW, money laundering.

Miss.

That explains the banner I see in my field of vision: "libavcodec may be vulnerable..."

And here come the studio's black helicopters and SWAT teams. Your bar has just violated one of the most precious market segmentation tools that content owners cherish: The ability to squeeze businesses for playing their stuff for exorbitant fees compared to home customers.

I find it interesting anyone would offload error detection and correction to application software. Not only are you needlessly increasing local complexity in doing that any possible machinery you implement to accomplish this in software is itself subject to failure from same sources of arbitrary corruption.

Why would someone do this instead of using hardware with some sort of RAS with memory mirroring, pool scrubbing, multi-bit error correction...etc? If you are extra paranoid just add more memory and or CPU cycles to meet your desired level of reliability.

It makes sense for high reliability systems to guard against hardware or software failures by having multiple discrete systems performing redundant operations and voting yet here the cause is the legendary cosmic ray. I don't understand why anyone would design a system like this.

Older hardware not compatible with Windows 11. [Ducking and running]

... was against writing. Because it would degrade the memory and reasoning skills of scholars who became dependent on it.

It's not the tools on the institutional end of the educational transaction that matter. Its what the students utilize to accomplish their end.

Want to motivate them to fix the service cabin? Offer them flights on the CST-100 instead.

1. Survival.
2. Blind loyalty. Putin is an idiot. But he's OUR idiot.

That wasn't *all* I said, but it is apparently as far as you read. But let's stay there for now. You apparently disagree with this, whnich means that you think that LLMs are the only kind of AI that there is, and that language models can be trained to do things like design rocket engines.

No, the things I was referring to using LLMs to predict protein shapes and evolution of plasma have already been demonstrated.

No, what you said was the following "Artificial Intelligence is in fact many kinds of technologies. People conflate LLMs with the whole thing because its the first kind of AI that an average person with no technical knowledge could use after a fashion." Your statement is incorrect.
