It's also efficient to stuff 6 people into a 900 sq ft apartment. Neither that nor UBI will lead to anything good.

That's the least of what is possible.

And yes, using a bunch of distributed, worldwide time servers will detect manipulation. But what if your government to too paranoid to use someone else's time servers for the national authority timer servers? Dictatorships tend to be paranoid.

Pediatricians are not trained to heal. They are trained to dispense completely unnecessary pharmaceuticals to children.

If you can control an organization's time servers, you can wreak havoc within the organization.

If you haven't done so already, create an account on all three credit reporting agencies and lock your credit reports. It will prevent people from opening most (all?) lines of credit in your name since they all query the reporting agencies before approving a credit application.

I hope I have misinterpreted the Supreme Court/U.S. Taliban, but didn't they already say the Texas law was constitutional? I hope I'm wrong, because these age verification laws are blatantly unconstitutional.

I totally agree.

I totally agree again.

He knew. He just didn't care, as judges have stupidly been VERY light-handed about attorney AI fraud. If judges did the correct thing, and heavily sanctioned attorneys who openly defraud courts via LLM's, then the problem would resolve itself rather quickly.

That's all they have? Even as far as circumstantial evidence goes, that is incredibly weak. Even the GPS location data is very weak. My wife and I used to have tracking software on our phones, and it would frequently show us MILES away from our actual locations.

The rest is nothing more than guilt by association. I sure hope they have more than that before going to trial, especially if the man is actually guilty.

I'm sure there are lots of people in the Pallisades area that are unhappy and vent on the Internet. This is incredibly shoddy investigative work.

The company I work for dumped RedHat at the RHEL 5 release, because we system admins saw the writing on the wall with the introduction of Entitlements/licenses. We've been all Debian (and will stay all Debian for the foreseeable future), and it's been glorious.

Giving Deloitte money should be a fireable offense. In fact, it should be automatic. No performance review, and no explanations:

1) Did you authorized an expenditure on Deloitte?
2) Yes.
3) Your personal property will be boxed up and made available for pickup at the Customer Service desk. Now GET OUT!

I like using the term, "Augmented Idiocy" to describe this phase of CEO stupidity.

If customer requirements are that the rug be feces-free, and your automatic rug cleaner dumps more shit on the rug than it clean up, then yes.

However, Microsoft and Windows still exist, so point taken.

Yes, much like deleting the database will clean up data entry errors made to the database. Technically true, but rather useless.

That's only after spending the months or years to find a reasonable, trustworthy alternative (Walmart is the only real competitor, with NewEgg being a decent runner-up for computer parts). 99.9% of the time, it goes like this:

1) Hey, StormReaver, I have a great alternative to Amazon and Walmart! It's [fill in alternative].
2) Great! Thanks, I'll check it out!
3) It turns out the alternative has 3-week shipping (that I have to pay for), and a nearly-nonexistent return policy. If it has one, I have to pay exorbitant return shipping, too. Or it has almost nothing I want.
4) Back to Amazon and Walmart I go.

Which is why I stopped asking for alternatives. There aren't any.

I couldn't disagree more. Thinking otherwise is a sign of someone who has gone through the public school system. AI learning can't possibly be any worse than the public school system. I would have LOVED to have been educated this way. I would have gotten WAY more out of school than the gulags of the 70s and 80s.
