Our AI which is nothing like a brain or neural network, but we're going to tell you they are even though no one knows how a brain functions. I begin to think these guys are drinking the kool-aid.

So if someone posts your image to an Instagram account without your permission Meta suddenly owns your likeness and the ability to derive images from it ?
What if you are in media and your image is your income ? Does Meta get to remake the images of "Models" for ads on their platform ?
Will you find your own image in some ad ?

But if fewer people performing this behaviour died of starvation (or were too low in nutritional status to raise offspring to maturity - same thing really) than died of Salmonella it would still be a net benefit.

I wonder if I could use on of my old Kindle displays ? Not that I have or am going to have a steam machine but the concept is really cool. I use my old Gal.Tab3 with their desktop emu now to handle messenger and email when I am gaming.

I've got a Oneplus tab 2 and I love it. When my Galaxy Tab3 died I picked it up for quit a bit cheaper than a comparable Samsung. I really like the active stylus.

NO, NO, NO, JUST NO!!! No one needs to Cmdr Taco in any form, much less naked.

LOL sounds just like this place these days. There are many good reddits still that are well moderated and are home to experts in many fields. Funny but /. used to be like that as well. I don't login very often but the requirement will kill it for me.

I remember the space shuttle landing at Vandenberg, 200 miles away. We'd always get the double thump from that, and even in the Orange County suburbs it was enough to rattle our windows every time.

It was cool at the time, but it didn't happen very often. Flights regularly going over at supersonic speeds would get old really fast.

AI and the American dream...what a fsck'n nightmare.

GoG, ITCH.IO, Zoom and other allow you to download an offline installer. Steam is the LAST place I buy a game from.

try that defense in court. It has worked for so many people before. Technically you are correct, but the courts have decided that depriving a corporation of potential profit is as good as asportation.

The point was even if the disc didn't contain the game itself, it allowed the console it was inserted into to connect to the server and download it without needing a key. If you got tired of the game, you could sell the disc, and someone else would just insert it and it would download again for them.

Putting a printed key in the package instead of a disc that will download the game completely kills your ability to sell the game as used, which is almost certainly the only reason they're doing it that way.

Our IT team has been switching to Macs over the past 18 months or so. Started with the network guys, then sys admins and support desk people. Dev Ops and developers are supposed to be getting them when our machines are next refreshed.

For reference, we're heavily invested in .Net, Azure, MSSQL, etc.

As of former DSO and prison guard I can say with some authority, it isn't record keeping that causes recidivism. More likely is lack of opportunity, lack of education, and a severe sense of being indoctrinated in the system. Many of these guys don't KNOW how to act on their own and without supervision they go off the rails. I don't know how you categorize a generally likeable person who makes the worst possible choices in life, frequently, other than convict.

"Try the European system of treating criminals as human beings, not as a profit making workforce.
Put efforts into rehabilitation rather than being highly punitive"
Genius Idea. For profit prisons are an abomination in any country, the US included...

They're guilty, they knew it and still pushed forwards with bad policies. They don't provide ANYTHING that can't be replicated quickly of from a competitor. Sick the dogs on them and let the lawyers feast. Maybe a class action AI is the correct method ? /s
