I find it fascinating that they are failing to apologize to the people they traumatized, but very quick with the press release that it's "not Flock's fault".

While your chances of being shot by the police are tiny, they are additive the more times you get pulled over in this manner. The press release from the police should have been a mea culpa, a confirmation the error has been corrected, and an apology to the victims whose lives were put in very real danger, not the defense of the massive surveillance system that amplified their error.

Yeah.

They completely ignore panserpmia.

They just quote Isaac Asimov's writing from almost half a century ago (Europa). Ignores Enceladus, Titan, Venus, Mars; all of which have *BIOSIGNATURES* of a probability curve not too dissimilar to Europa.

They are likely a dilettante. Those folks do not do "prior art" research because they believe in the Auteur Myth.

  "An auteur is a filmmaker whose personal style and thematic focus are so distinctive that they are considered the 'author' of their films, a concept known as the auteur myth."

Real science isn't that. Real science is a rational discipline. The null hypothesis -- know what that means. Prior art -- know what that means. Mental biases -- know those, too; you'll see what you want to see, hear what you want to hear. Science is the discipline of mind that ensures you're not just spewing random nonsense. You verify what you think; that's the discipline.

As Isaac Newton said ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ), "nani gigantum humeris insidentes."

Ignore them.

Everything seems obvious once it is explained.

Why do 12-14 steps of algebra, when calculus works in 2?

Obvious. People should know calculus.

Yet they don't.

Define Green's Theorem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... -- is obvious.

Everything is obvious *IN HINDSIGHT*.

> Nobody seems to be willing to route both the original video and the ads through the same server

The only ads I ever see on youtube are the ones the content creators insert themselves into their own video. So this is already being done and gives content creators control over the ads being served while receiving the ad revenue they need to maintain their channel.

I don't know anyone who complains about ads served this way. The creators themselves are incentivized to make the ads tasteful and short and they understand that a view has the power to skip past it manually if they are inclined. This seems to be the proper way to handle it.

Google hands off a project which can become a legal nightmare where AI exfiltrates user health records in order to absolve themselves of any liability while still pushing for their AI systems (and all their Big Tech buddies) to have access.

How does a society treat its citizens, specifically parents and children?

Autism -- is human psychology being maladaptive because of this situation. Parents aren't there for their children to imprint-upon. The psychological distress is real. Depersonalization is a result.

This depersonalization happening during acute childhood development phases, exacerbates the problem of social disengagement.

People should be treated as people, not chattel.

Since when did anyone have to register a subdomain?

A fully loaded Surface Pro 12 is a pale imitation of the power of a similarly priced Macbook Pro.

"Despite the limitations of the 1993-era sound card drivers,"

The Gravis Ultrasound ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ), as well as other soundcards which *USED WAVETABLE SYNTHESIS* were available.

Yeah, FM-synthesis sounds like a robot. The SNES SPC-7000 was wavetable. The Sega Genesis used a Z80 for FM synthesis. A GUS card was supperior to the SPC-7000.

If you want to know how good the music is, either run DOOM in DOSBOX with a correct GUS Wavetable patch set (which will let you know how *ACTUALLY GOOD* the music is). Alternatively, the Doom & Doom 2 remaster on Steam has an actual band covering the actual tracks. That also sounds awesome.

Lol; I guess the author wasn't aware of the state of the art in 1993 if that's what they wrote.

Why would I set out to deny something I never mentioned. This is all in your head friend, you need to clean house and join us back in reality.

Nowhere in my comment did I mention America or Trump or any "conservative" view. It's a quote from the UN regarding the Iranian theocracy arresting, torturing, and murdering their own people for the crime of talking about what's happening there.

Iran was murdering their own people by the tens of thousands long before this conflict with America started. Perhaps your focus should be on the atrocities being committed there rather than trying to blame them on the US?

> The UNâ(TM)s top human rights official warned on Wednesday that Iraniansâ(TM) rights are being eroded in âoeharsh and brutal ways,â citing a surge in executions, mass arrests and alleged abuses amid a widening crackdown on dissent

Iran is not the innocent place the media portrays it as.

That IPv8 proposal was confirmed to be AI written, submitted by an anonymous entity in the Bahamas.

It calls for OAuth for authorization of devices but IP operates at Layer 7, OAuth is Layer 3. It's AI slop - complete garbage.

Both the ATSC 1.0 and 3.0 specs include OTA EPG data yet I don't see any of the major vendors using it. There's no reason for Sony or really any OTA receiver maker to have to provide that guide data over the net.

"Journalists" have been caught making bold false claims followed by unread retractions for years, now they will blame it on AI just as CEO's blame AI for job cuts.

Unfortunately the media is rewarded by clicks, not truth.
