I don't disagree. But 20% is a very, very low estimate.

And there I can stop reading, because you do not get it. Your simplistic and, frankly, stupid claim is that relying on rational reasoning is "faith". That is, obviously, a direct lie. Now, it is quite possible you are not smart enough to see that.

Debian offers both things, but I am using nvidia so Wayland won't work even as well as it can work, which is not as well as X11.

I expect to get an error explaining something about why a program failed, even if it's not very informative. Any program which cannot manage that is crap, and I should not have to go out of my way to get some kind of error either.

I will just keep using zoom in the browser when I have to use it, which is thankfully infrequent.

That's literally the whole idea behind all of this software, though. They just forgot somehow.

If they are signing contracts that don't let them service the equipment when they can't get a tech, and if the equipment is so fragile and complicated that you can't use it without fucking it up, then multiple people fucked up badly and at multiple points. And just to head it off, I don't want to hear any ignorant fiddle-faddle about "these are complicated devices" blah blah blah which is all over this thread. No they fucking are not. They are ovens. There is no fucking oven used for food rather than aerospace grade carbon fiber that needs more intelligence than you can get for two fiddy from aliexpress. It doesn't matter how many timers it has, how many fans it has to operate, how many zones it has, or how many energy sources it can run on, an oven is basic fucking shit compared to other systems on the ship that they can service. There is no excuse for the level of incompetence and/or malfeasance that created this situation and it is absolutely incomprehensible why anyone would want to invent one solely to juggle the balls of some corporation not even named in the article.

How can you possibly defend such an indefensible and most likely born of corruption type of decision with some completely irrelevant horseshit about the vendor can blame you for things? The military doesn't give one tenth of one fuck, it's not their money and they never pass an audit and congress just keeps giving them more, they can be told that because they worked on it when they needed to get some meals out that they will need an entire oven and they will shrug and sign the PO.

Nobody is going to reward you

poor wittwe baby doesn't wike facts

Unless they have done some very basic mathematics and figured out that they're going to need more power in the future, that is.

As we have just established, you are a fursuit kind of guy.

When did you start learning English anyway, Ivan?

You cannot change the facts with denialism, clowns.

Modding me down might hide my comment so you don't have to look at it, but you could just look away like you do from everything else you find uncomfortable.

I disagree. Generative AI cannot really do "automation". Far too unreliable. But we will see. Your argument definitely has some merit.

Remember how expensive electricity from nuclear is? That will not solve things...

Also remember that most Uranium comes from Kazakhstan (43%) and they border on China and Russia. Not a critical dependency you want. Place 2 is Kanada (15%), which the US just has mightily pissed off by sheer leadership stupidity. US domestic? A whopping 0.15%...

Indeed. There are a few facts from sociology. Apparently only 10-15% of all humans can fact-check and apparently only around 20% (including the fact-checkers) can be convinced by rational argument when the question matters to them (goes up to 30% when it does not). Unfortunately, these numbers seem to be so well established that there are no current publications I can find. It may also be hard to publish about this. This is from interviews with experts and personal observations and observatioons from friends that also teach on academic levels. ChatGPT at least confirmed the 30% number but sadly failed to find a reference.

Anyway, that would mean only about 10-15% of the human race has active reasoning ability (can come up with rational arguments) and only about 20-30% has passive reasoning ability (can verify rational arguments). And that nicely explains some things, including why so many people mistake generative AI and in particular LLMs for something they are very much not and ascribe capabilities to them that they do not have and cannot have.

There is also the possibility to make general AI a tool that can only be used if you are, e.g., licensed for general AI use and _know_ what it is. But tools offered to the general public need to follow safety standards and cannot make claims like being a medical professional, a lawyer, a LEO, etc. If they do, the become illigal to be offered to the general public.

No idea why all these morons do not see that simple fact. They seem to want their "superintelligence" so much that they have completely lost access to their own natural intelligence, pathetic as it may be.

That is a nonsense arguument and you know it. It is really very simple and your belif is blinding you.

1. If an actor claims to be a licensed therapist in a movie or theather setting, which is very specific, recognizable and non-interactive, no problem.
2. If an actor claims to be a licensed therapist in an interactive setting towards somebody that thinks they are being medically treated, they go to prison.

There, that was not too hard, was it?
