Orderlies are on the 'least affected' list.

I am actually kinda surprised at that one. It seems like it would be fairly easy to automate that one, not even sure you need AI.

It is just scheduling and some image processing/lidar/sonar/etc to make sure crafts are clear of, properly positioned in the lock before raising or lowering.

I don't really know, I am not lock operator and I am not belittling what they do but it seems to me it should be simpler automation problem than trying to do say, Self Driving for a car.

SE did not really simplify much. It was just Windows but they intentionally crippled / broke some stuff.

Much of the bloat, none of the value; does not a product make. Meanwhile by '21 Microsoft was all on o365 as the future anyway. If that is vision what is needed is well ChromeOS essentially a web browser with a bundled HAL.

This is the same problem with that version of Win2k8 server where you could chose not to install the desktop experience...Reality is that did not mean much more than setting the shell=cmd[.]exe in the registry in actual practice. Windows just isn't modularized and does not lend it self to stripping down. You need "a lot' of hardware/storage just to get a basic UI up.

The common Linux stack is much easier to cherry pick just what is essential to run chrome and little but have it all still work right. That is where the heterogeneity of the Linux world is a strength. Various system components and user-land software a like does not get to make so many assumptions about what else will and won't be there.

You said 'a long time ago' so you could be forgiven for the lack of NAC etc, but no dhcp/helper and snooping?

Even with access to wire closet, no DSL installer should have been able to get off the ground in the first place, not in the last 25 years anyway.

LOL - and here I have just been using an upside down can of air-duster..

You had an answer...Are you sure it was correct?

I remember that; there was a ton of hype around Google's internal search thing. I never saw it do anything better than basic full text search already present in SQL/Sharepoint/Exchange

The problem is software or hardware it is 'how' do you do it in a useful way. Page range for all the fancy academic writing about it boils down to don't actually do it, let humans do it, and pick up on the fact the content is interesting by how much linking to it there is/was.

One kind stupid but maybe not stupid approach I could see Reddit taking is actually

1) train an AI model on all their content and refine or retrain it pretty frequently with their new content.
2) Have users write a query and generate a completion using the model - but -
3) Rather than send the completion to the user, use existing similarity algorithms to locate actual posts / threads with human content that shares the most in common with the generated response
4) send the user the links.

Obviously this is over simplistic and would need some refinement and experimentation like if you don't find many posts that clear some similarity threshold, its a good indicator the generated response was trash, and then what ask the user for a different query question? Not sure..

But I think there could be some value here rather then serving up often garbage AI summaries that get important details wrong, generate the summary and use that to the locate the best original resources or discussion that provide the most coverage of the topic or question.

I think the only answer here is that we need a far less 'global' orientation to these platforms.

I don't know about you, but half of slashdot cheers for EU when they punish X for carrying what they consider 'hate speech' and make arguments like their country their rules..

Fine exactly. Youtube should probably implement different policy and perhaps even different features in East Kerblickistan than they do in the US, and different ones for Oz and EU etc. If other places are to small, to onerous to deal with and won't accept uses being routed one of the existing subsites with the most similar rules then:

youtube should just tell East Kerblickistan, well its on you to police you people and keep them from visiting our site, for our part we will not do business with anyone who has an address in your shit hole. Then our state department should tell Kerblickistan to STFU if they try any legal enforcement against a US person or business; warn them if they grab anyone or something like that 1000000000% tariffs and no visas for any of their people.

230 is basically left over junk from part of a law the rest of which was struck down. The regime it has created is basically full-retard.

Basically it amounts to you can go after the guy/gal who had the idea to lie, slander, libel, publish otherwise indecent material not covered by 1A; but the people that provided them with a free stage, mega phone, and promotion to do it effectively are beyond reach. Even when they were in every way intentional and encouraging because its good click bait that makes them money..

CDA-230 as it exists severed from much the rest of the law is basically just a carte blanche for the several big media cartels to behave in the most anti-social ways possible while printing money. A license we don't grant to any legacy media that also features submitted content. All to enable/protect a few small web forums. I'll acknowledge we probably do need some 'internet' specific law because scale does make things work differently than pamphleteering or distributing copies of magazines to book stores and kiosks. Fine but we could do something better and more sensible the accidental legal regime we landed on because congress a body of mostly lawyers could not manage draft legislation that would pass constitutional muster.

Indeed a law or at least a clarification of existing law around what some phrases like 'authorized', 'derivative', 'novel', 'fair use', etc mean in the context of the web are needed.

Law is the only place you can have your cake and eat it too. A lock does not have to be indestructible. Even if you secured your house with a flimsy luggage lock it would still be B&E, if someone forces it.

Those Anubis screens seemingly being put in front of everything suck donkey balls but if you made it any faster or easier it would not work. CAPTCHA has already reached a point where if it is difficult enough to defeat AI it will defeat a lot of people or at least frustrate them too. However the presence of either should be enough to clearly establish that automated agents are not welcome/authorized.

The answer is someone need to get their prosecutor to go after Altman and company for 'hacking' their site.

The Amish absolutely are actually a great example of the type of immigration no nation should want.

Granted they are not as harmful as some groups but what generally happens is:

The Amish move into a somewhat rural area. They start buying up a lot of property usually zoned agriculture and such so that they don't have to comply with construction standards and building codes that require things like hot water and flush toilets. They keep buying essentially gentrifying they area pushing out the locals which breaks up the community, a community they then don't participate in at all socially and minimally fiscally. IE recall those are not 'residences' they construct so they get taxed usually like raw or crop land. Every thing they do is inward, they don't shop at the local grocery, they don't use the local hardware store, they hire local trades to build anything.

but... what does happen as soon as someone in their community is seriously ill or whatever they are at the local hospital, and its usually indigent care because they don't believe in medical insurance.. When they have structure fire, they call the local brigade to help them put it out but none of them join or become members. Amish country aside (parts of OH, Lancaster PA etc) , Amish groups end up being a massing drain on most of places around them.

I don't dislike the Amish but if you look at the economic impact on the more rural parts of New England where they have moved into, it is plain as day the surrounding communities were better off before they arrived.

So they want to use climate guilt to double dip. First sell the fuel, then offer to buy back the by products ( in comparatively tiny quantity )

Pump it in the same wells the crude oil and gas came out of without any real assurance it stays there or consequences if it does not.

clever, very clever.

Going after the ASP.NET keys is not an unknown technique. It may not be popular bug bounty fodder because in most cases the attack will be highly application specific but they are target on anyone doing targeted operations radar.

Once you have that you have a vector to send serialized payloads that are encrypted not by TLS but inside the protocol envelope. That means it will be opaque even to relatively high-end IDS/IPS/WAF solutions. Importantly you can use it while making requests to resources paths that are likely normally seen, key point monitoring and detection is not going to see the channel even if it is pretty darn good.

Now imagine you could discover and develop such an exploit offline in your own share point environment, it works unauthenticated and across a range of versions, pretty nice tool to go after some high value targets until...

A patch comes out. You look at the patch, its easy even easier than usual to reverse engineer it with or without LLMs tools, because you already understand the problem. You know you can evade it and get an exploit chain going again.. fine but now it has all sorts of eyes on it. Maybe not something you want to risk using anymore depending on exactly what kind of operator you are and what your real objectives are but... you do have an clandestine operation to fund, and the ransomware boys will buy an exploit like that for middle six figures... or maybe you are the DPRK or something and everyone ones you do ransomware to acquire money and maybe just disrupt your enemies economies already, perhaps your 'A' team turns over the details to the 'B' team to make some bank with and embarrass the US government without revealing the 'A' team's real capabilities or operations.

We absolutely know patches get reversed and exploits generated from them to attack the slow to patch. Plenty of history of that, but it is not hard to imagine that certain threat groups were holding onto a high value exploit like this given the range of targets and just saw it got "burned" went for getting as much residual value as possible too.

6.5' is or isn't enough to keep casual observers from seeing into your yard depending on the surroundings

How near are the other buildings are any of them multi-story?

What is the grade like, if your yard falls away from the road, pretty common think walkout basements, and such some in a car might easily see into a yard as they approach or in their mirrors as they pass by.

I don't think without knowing a lot more detail about where the house is and what the land around it is like it is possible to draw any conclusions as to if 6.5' would afford a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Yes or no, as to the lying it is really just semantics.

If some mid level management team uses a bunch BI tools, and pivot tables and 'what-if' projections to develop various pricing rules, and those get rolled into a 'pricing model' that is used quote fares, is that ML? I would would say it inst.

So "lying thru his teeth" seems a bit strong. That is the point though this isn't new price discrimination has been a feature of airline fares for as long as I have been buying tickets. My point is SWA insisting on using last century's approach to problem does not mean anything to me as customer in terms of what I am likely going to be paying buying tickets thru my preferred channels at a given date before I travel. Advertising they are not investing in contemporary methods and tooling is also not something I find impressive, desirable, as a consumer. Actually it just makes me wonder could i be paying less if I shopped around and found an airline that does get their staff the best most effective tools?
