Comment Re: Very likely, nothing much (Score 1) 127

I've been using the Internet for a long time and never stopped... But I think you're being ignorant with statements like "people not only cannot be...trained how to avoid disinformation" when studies show that people can be trained to avoid misinformation. I agree that many people don't want to do the work, but that is the exact difference with AI. It can, every single time, do the work that humans are unwilling to, which means it to can be trained to avoid disinformation and likely can do it better than humans.

Spoilers for episode 4. Seriously you thought the whole mersande plot was remotely plausible? 1) In the middle of a giant sea battle the greyjoy finds, captures, identifies, and detains a single woman and delivers her alone to be the focal point of the queens ire... 2) Or how a bunch of "scorpions" at sea, on moving boats, can completely kill one dragon and scare off another, but a the entire kings landing of them, along with the same fleet, couldn't manage to hit the dragon once? 3) a bonus that the dragons flames now can not only burn things but knock over buildings and huge stone walls, but not people standing next to the same flames. If the dragons breath was that powerful all along why the hell was there any need for an army? 4) after episode 3 and the battle, somehow each of the armies lost only half of their forces. Wtf? So during the last battle they just sent in half of the dothraki? Don't you think somewhere in the plotting / planning scenes for episode 3 they should have at least mentioned they were splitting the armies? Based on watching episode 3 there should have only been like 100 people left in winter fell. Since the only people left fighting where the characters with infinite plot armor, all the extras were dead.. Episode 4 was full of pure TV writing and grandstanding. I was willing to look past 3, but 4 was much worse. My two cents

If you look at this from purely an energy perspective the less energy used, the less energy there is to be added to the equation. If they put this same data center on land, they would need energy to run a cooling system, likely to include air conditioning. Since some of that energy is lost as heat all the way from production to real work, this system of placing it underwater will be devoid of those losses. In the end with less energy use, less heat is produced. So I think that is win.

This is also not true with default settings from LastPass, by default last pass won't let you login from an unknown device or unknown location, it will send an e-mail to a account you specify and require you to click the link to allow access from the remote location. Also you can secure access like I do with a physical token (Yubikey).

Submission + - Blizzard Releases In-House Design Tools To Starcraft Modders (hothardware.com)

MojoKid writes: Blizzard has released a powerful new suite of tools for Starcraft 2 modders and developers that fundamentally change the nature of what's possible in the popular RTS game. Now, players can use the same architectural and graphics design toolsets that Blizzard has used internally to build new units, tilesets, and models. Furthermore, these tools are now available even with the Starcraft 2: Starter Edition kit. Critically, artists will now be able to incorporate images and effects designed in programs like 3ds Max, Photoshop, or other high-end particle systems. The exciting thing about these releases is that Starcraft 2's modding list is as interesting as the primary game, if not moreso. Fans have faithfully created adaptations of famous Starcraft maps, implemented entirely new rulesets that blend the old, micro-friendly playstyle of Starcraft with the modern engine, and even gone total conversion with Warcraft ported over into the SC2 game.
