Linguistic drift and all that, being still in that awkward transitional stage. One of those things where expecting everyone to just jump into some new phrasing is a mighty big ask.

Discord is about 10 years old now, so it canâ(TM)t quite come up yet that it would have accounts in use for 16 years. Still leaves the question about would this policy apply in such a case? If it does, that seems like it might imply Discord is treating the account as being used by someone other than the original owner. Which also raises questions.

With summer or winter tires?

Any given AI these days doesn't have any buddies. Each is like an eager to please three-year who jumps on a request from anyone.

And for those with one from the original article, it has your credit card.

Sounds about right. JJ Abrams movies are mindless action/adventure style flicks with an <X> theme/skin/style. Where <X> is Star Trek or whatever.

If that's what you're looking for, great. If you wanted an <X> movie, you're out of luck.

Naturally, that level of mindlessness is likely easy for today's AI to generate....

I did not think they were HO scaleâ¦.

Since sentience boils down to having at least one sense (input) and being able to make sense of it (make a model of it), it seems to be edging into yes.

An analogy I make with things in this field is that a human equivalent to these is someone with a super talent in remixing anything digital, but that is developmentally stuck as a three year old.

From what I recall of earlier work in the field, the three year old equivalency seems to be where things have been for well over a decade. And still is stuck there.

Making LLMs might be a research track to see if that gives people ideas in how to get past the three year old equivalency, but I fear the industry has widespread belief that LLMs will magically directly push past the stall.

Will it also achieve perfect compression down to a single bit?

Is there any job he wouldn't be able to weaponize? He was in the KGB for 16 or so years.

And never feed it after midnight.

An attacker getting a shell is better than them causing a denial of service? I donâ(TM)t think so.

And the same thing has happened in other contexts, with much longer grace periods.

When Solaris 2 shipped, it came with a deprecated Solaris 1 compatibility package. 20 years later (Solaris 11), the new servers no longer had it available. Cue all the developers writing new scripts yelling to be given access to something that was no longer there.

RS-232 is still standard, although it is something of a niche standard. This week I will be adding serial debug ports to five devices.

Huh, that is the same model I have. Small world. (I inherited mine from my grandparents.)

Anyway, this looks somewhat like the enterprise exchange setups I dealt with at some places, which, of course, could only provide such features when everyone involved was using the same server collection. They had various add-ons that handled mail with compatible servers at other authorized enterprise setups, and that blocked mail to addresses that they could not be sure would handle it.

The sites I was at were working on implementing an extension for dealing with the outside world that was supposed to cache the message on some login required server (ftp/http/whatever) and send a message containing an external-body-part to point back to it. Their attempts were horribly mangled though.

Apologies for any incoherence; I have slept about two hours out of the last 40.

In this decade, Iâ(TM)ve worked for some fairly large corporations. In my time there, Iâ(TM)ve been involved in creating migration paths to enable patching flaws that had been in place since some time in the 1980â(TM)s.

It didnâ(TM)t help that people like senior DBAs had been trained that all shell commands needed to be prefixed with sudo. At one site, we had an outside vendor setting up new specialized secure servers. One of the vendorâ(TM)s (mid-level) admins didnâ(TM)t know what file permissions were.

And I also have a few horror stories.
