Scans better as crabby

Nobody is actually ahead in AI, because they're all solving the wrong problem, as indeed AI researchers have consistently done since the 1960s.

I'm not the least bit worried about the possibility of superintelligence, not until they actually figure out what intelligence is as opposed to what is convenient to solve.

As for Musk, he's busy trying to kill all engineering projects in America.

If there's an issue that needs resolving, it's best to acknowledge it. Hiding away, like Microsoft does with their abysmal records on reliability and security, achieves nothing.

If honesty is a problem, then neither IT nor science seem good professions. Politics and economics might be better.

In neural nets, the network software is not the algorithm that is running. The net software is playing the same role as the CPU in a conventional software system. It is merely the platform on which the code is run.

The topology of the network plus the state of that network (the data) corresponds to an algorithm. That is the actual software that is being run. AI cannot be considered open until this is released.

But I flat-out guarantee no AI vendor is going to do that.

Which means that a household of 10 can all connect to different sites and get full speed.

What is with this assuming only one person in a house can be connected?

Limiting that is absolutely malicious compliance.

But it is compliance. That is what Apple will tell the EU. "We complied with your ruling which made no mention of who can work on this."

If you don't spell out the conditions you can't complain when you don't like the results.

I don't quite get the idea that high speed rail would be less of a headache. Most of the headaches in flying are tried to ground transportation and security theatre. If rail terminals were as heavily used as airports, wouldn't all of this follow? I guess you could argue that this is distributed among stations along the route but if you add stops, rail is no longer high speed.

It's one thing to say you're scraping the messages. It is quite another to admit you're scraping people's data, particularly data which could possibly have PII or other restrictive issues, not to mention the usual confidential information.

I'm presuming common sense or legal considerations doesn't enter into business decisions any longer.

so Apple openly flouting the rules is understandable.

They are not flouting the rules, they are following them. If third-party browsers are required to be allowed in the EU but not elsewhere, there isn't a need for someone in the U.S. develop them. Only someone in the EU.

I can guarantee if you look at the EU ruling there is nothing in there that says Apple has to allow anyone access to create/maintain these browsers. The ruling only says Apple must allow alternative browsers, not how it is implemented. Therefore, it is up to Apple how they want to comply with the EU ruling, and here it is.

They figured out that Open Source was the correct direction. True, it took 25 years, but they figured it out.

And that's definitely an improvement over Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle, who have never understood that.

Veronica worked with Gopher, IIRC.
As best as I can remember, WAIS didn't need a search engine.

I really don't recommend telling admins in America that an extended finger is good.

If you click on parent directory, then the beta directory, you find the source tarball.

Apparently not a single company bothered to introduce themselves to these "employees", nor bothered to even speak with them via video. Just another side effect of WFH.

All the companies who were too lazy to do the bare minimum should be named so we know who not to do business with. If they were too lazy to check in on their "employees", what other shit job are they doing?
