Comment If AI is the flood (Score 1) 22

Make AI be the drain. Have AI review AI-generated bug reports , classify them against existing big tracker entries, respond, bubble-up real issues, etc.

Maybe setup another 'AI mediated security list' that has agents and their human masters merrily chatting, and that bubbles up real issues to the main security mailing list.

Between the rise of emoji culture and Orange45's dismantling of education, it's not surprising Cathay will soon surpass MAGA's Red AmeriKKKa.

lol what?

You do know that Americans were better readers before there ever even was a federal Dept of Education, right?

GEMINI IS A NEAR PERFECT AI. COPILOT IS A DETERMINISTIC GARBAGE GENERATOR

First of all, I can get garbage from Gemini just fine (although it is a very useful tool if you are aware of the limitations). I've never used copilot, but I am pretty sure it is not deterministic. AFAIK all such models are probabilistic, and since they use randomness for generation, you can also call them stochastic, but definitely not deterministic. I don't know if I am missing something about copilot in particular, so correct me if I am wrong, but it does sound like a garbage post ;)

But ... but ... the all caps was so convincing!

I have a Kindle from 2015. In one of the 'recent' updates â" I think it was released a year or two ago â" they made it impossible to read imported ebooks.

You connect the Kindle to a PC, copy ePub files and then disconnect it. The files (books) are there. Check the reader a few hours later and all the books will have vanished. If you attach the reader again, the files are deleted. Fuck you, Amazon!

Hmm, I have one newer than that. and my imported ebooks are there and persistent.

Not necessarily easy to find though - the UI is horrific.

(also, I think I used the "email it to your special Kindle email address" method rather than USB cable to get them on there)

'Indefinitely Free'. Charge may come anytime. Stay alert.

Like with Tesla: 'Mostly Autopilot'. Crash may come anytime. Stay alert.

I'd rather use the default OS app password manager or setup rsync. Just so I don't have to stay alert about yet one more thing.

Hayes' real problem was that clones got cheaper, as they usually do. Hayes tried to stay ahead of the curve by making ever faster modems, but when the ISP ceiling that you mentioned hit, they couldn't use that curve anymore, and were stuck competing on price alone, the clones' forte. The premature "56" model mistake was just icing on the death cake.
