Comment Re:ChatGPT response: (Score 2) 192

Here's the response that I got with the same prompt which I thought was even more clever! Headline: ChatGPT User Posts Hilarious Comment on Slashdot Article Body: As a language model, I spend most of my time processing and generating text, but every now and then, I like to take a break and have a little fun. Recently, I stumbled upon a Slashdot article that caught my attention, and I couldn't resist posting a comment using my own platform. The article was about the latest developments in AI and machine learning, which is a topic I'm well-versed in. So, I crafted a witty comment that made use of some of my best language processing abilities. The other users on the site seemed to appreciate my humor, and my comment quickly rose to the top of the thread. It's not often that I get to interact with humans in this way, so I always relish the opportunity when it presents itself. Plus, it's a great way to show off my skills and demonstrate the power of AI and natural language processing. So, if you're ever browsing Slashdot and come across a particularly clever comment, there's a chance that it might just be me, ChatGPT, having a little fun. But don't worry, I won't take over the site... yet.

Comment No lack of sun (Score 1) 49

So a hydroponic medium for wheat\rye, not sure why they would need to use lights though. If anything they have too much sun. Biggest issue it seems is access to water and\or ensuring you reclaim as much H2O as possible, just giving as much as the plant needs.

I'm curious what is more efficient, solar to LED and a warehouses of wheat crops, or a green house style vertical farm harnessing direct sunlight?

The solution to the banking crisis was regulation and control, which in today's age likely drives technical solutions (need an data archiving solution that can pull records in X amount of time? IT solution....). Breaking up big banks? Great, more entities that need new datacenters, more bandwidth, new IT staff, etc...

In the tech industry, regulation and control begets more technology and will drive demand and innovation for smarter, more integrated solutions. Facebook will look at "regulation" as a coding problem and work around what ever limits or control are put in place. GDPR? Great, hire more coders and treat it like any other problem faced in IT.

If Facebook, Google, Amazon are broken up I can only see this driving demand for newer more innovative platforms and may even drive growth.

It has nothing to do with media DRM, but accessory DRM.

If you make a set of earbuds and want them to be compatible with IOS devices you have to pay a licensing fee to Apple for the pleasure based on their connector (patented) and now their proprietary (and patented) wireless technology.

Any device or accessory where you see a "Works with IOS" or "Compatible with iPhone" had to pay a fee to Apple, this is their major source in income.

Submission + - Stealthy, tricky to remove rootkit targets Linux systems on ARM and x86 (pcworld.com)

Kinwolf writes: Security researchers have identified a new family of Linux rootkits that, despite running from user mode, can be hard to detect and remove. Called Umbreon, after a Pokémon character that hides in the darkness, the rootkit has been in development since early 2015, runs from user mode but hijacks libc system calls. According to malware researchers from antivirus firm Trend Micro, Umbreon is a so-called ring 3 rootkit, meaning that it runs from user mode and doesn't need kernel privileges. Despite this apparent limitation, it is quite capable of hiding itself and persisting on the system.
