Windows 12 will run on a neural implant. It will have DMA use of your brain, as you will no longer need to use as much of it. Your thinking will be done by Coprolite.

I thought the whole selling point of Rust was that it's damned nigh impossible to write something unsafely. Because if the option is to avoid some tedium, there are developers that will find that way. And then you may as well have gone with C.

Well now, Flock is back in my good graces. We've got to wipe all those Pee-Wee Hermans off the face of the planet.

You literally post this on every article about Firefox. Aren't you tired yet? I have replied numerous times that they are *NEVER* going to do that. And then I pointed you to using policies, which will disable updates.

Which is why I don't bother with surveys from company. If they're not going to listen to their customers, why bother doing the survey?

Having to create a policy is not the same as a simple checkbox to disable something.

One would think if customers keep complaining about something that a company would look into changing it. Such as people who complained at having to use a screen in their car to change a/c or temperature or something simple. Car manufacturers went back and put buttons and knobs in to make things easier.

Apparently Mozilla isn't interested in simple. Like so many other companies, the object is to make things as complicated, convoluted, and inconvenient as possible.

A law requiring anyone doing work in or on AI be subject to strict liability. Very strict. And that companies in that business name and publish a governing panel to internally regulate their AI work. And be subject to the aforementioned strict liability. Up to and including prison time. And no discharging liability through bankruptcy*.

The government can't regulate something that it does not understand. And maybe private enterprise doesn't either. But they need to shoulder the risk. This could be something like a mesothelioma trust fund, but set up before people start coofing.

*Hey. If it's good enough for student loans ...

Not really a great place to live. It being the final resting place for some of the targets from the Bikini Atoll tests. Also, the recovered remains of K-129 that we claim not to have are buried on one of the S.F. Bay Islands. Maybe this one.

We choose to do AI in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they look easy.

All I need is support for Mojibake.

... for the lobbying failure. They tried contributing in BitCoin. Then someone converted that to pizzas and got upset.

I just hate it when Firefox trips my breaker trying to sort out Slashdot character encoding.

Oh come on! Slashdot can handle a percent sign just fine. It's just some Slashdditor that can't enter the correct character.

We had better get all those Teslas off the street, parked over storm drains.

Which administration? The DOJ complaints/investigations/consent decree against the Seattle police department started during the Clinton administration (or before), generated findings during G.W. Bush's and was acted upon during Obama's.

Law enforcement in general and the DOJ in particular are less political than you think*. And it's not Flock they will be doing something about. It's the abuse by the local police departments.

*Every time I hear accusations of politicized law enforcement, I just envision the scene of the bank robber screaming, "Attica! Attica!" Get off that high horse. You're robbing a bank.

For all they keep doing, the one thing they can't seem to do is make a checkbox to stop being harassed about updates. Apparently there is no way to do to this. It's much too complicated for them to figure out.

Perhaps they should put out a notice asking if anyone has the skills to create the checkbox and make it work.

Simple solution: Throw in a couple of "2+2=5"* terms in the preliminary draft and watch the AI get egg on it's face.

*Already supported by social media site scraping. So it should pass muster with any AI quality control.
