That was as I understand it why Star Trek Enterprise was cancelled. The ratings weren't *that* bad*. But putting on a reality show could match them.

But alongside the remains of a lone human woman on the island? That rather increases it. Depending on how intact the Electra turned out to be I imagine they might be able to work out if it was hers. They could look for serial numbers on parts if that's a thing, or perhaps try and match idiosyncrasies with known photos of the plane. If it is her plane and it's found, I suspect it can be confirmed to quite a high degree of confidence.

If the remains were far enough apart from the plane it implies I think a rather distressing period of attempted survival on the island.

It's really just narrative compression of the same theme that underpinned 'Man of Steel'. In that film (and in other Superman stories) Zod and other Kryptonians wanted to conquer the Earth whilst Kal-El's parents opposed it. This film the writers decided to simplify that and give those motives directly to his parents as well. So not actually anything new.

It would need to be extremely resilient and pretty cheap as well. When served a ball is hit well over 100mph, then it's subject to multiple high impacts during a point. Then the balls are replaced every few games anyway.

I'm a big user of AI and I don't really get using AI to replace images of people in entertainment contexts. For me I find if I know the physical person behind the image doesn't exist then it loses resonance or indeed titillation potential.

I can totally believe this is a serious issue because of how I've used it to reflect on things and help me overcome trauma from a breakdown I had years ago. I'm *really* careful, I tell it to challenge me, read other sources etc but I've also accepted its encouragement and feedback at times and it can really help. I'm also an expert AI outside of mental health - I know how it works, what it is prone to and that it's categorically not a person or actually empathising with me.. My feeling is if it can contribute to a profound and apparently positive change in my mental health (whilst actively demonstrating hazards and overencouraging me at times) then what is likely going on is I'm experiencing roughly the same thing as these people who are becoming ill - the feedback loop it provides is having a training effect. I'm still going to do it because I and others aronud me see the benefit, but it clearly merits caution. But then so do psychiatric drugs and therapy.

To be fair we know from statistical evidence that air travel, and by extension airline pilots (or at least crews) are staggeringly reliable. Little else matches it.

I agree with you that that didn't happen last time, and it may well not happen this time. But I don't think it should be dismissed either.

I bet there are criminals out there right now working on identifying unpatched vulnerabilities in Windows 10 for the big day. If they're successful and find something *big* a lot of users may suffer and Microsoft will be in a mess (and quite possibly have to patch it anyway). The TPM and hardware changes are a good idea for *new* machines but they should only be suggestions when installing on your own device. I think this is all going to end in tears, personally, because of that unpatched vulnerability scenario. Imagine if they find an MSBlaster-esque exploit and leverage it after October.

How is it an artificial way to make Windows look less bad for security, rather than a way to make Windows more secure? If your data needs to be protected using encryption, that's not a platform-specific concern. It's also not one that requires a TPM but that adds a layer of convenience by effectively turning your PC itself into a hardware key. This is more tolerable for most users, but arguably not as secure as the user having to enter the key themselves.

He literally plasters his political views over his own social media service for anyone to read without any other media.

I'm not going to say anything about Copilot itself, but when I go to the article and the criticism is coming from the CEO of a company in the process of launching AI agents that compete with Copilot. In other words he has every reason to be massively biased on this topic and unless he spells out concrete examples rather than vague claims he should not be seen as a credible source.

After this news I did a test of automatic screenshotting on Windows using a third party tool and I was quite surprised it made no perceptible difference.

Whatever the wider debate, the Stack Overflow users who think deleting or amending their content from the live system is going to make any difference whatsoever t whether OpenAI has it are very naive. It may make it harder for humans to get them.
