I am sure my dedicated 5080 with cuda can run circles around your mac
Old cars certainly can't hold a candle to new cars in the spying department. Practically all of them have remote data connections now, so every aspect of your life can be monitored and monetized by global data brokers. At least my old car won't rat me out to my insurance company if I'm a little happy on the accelerator, or if I occasionally use my brakes to their full ability.
Not really. Diamorphine is a precisely described drug. Heroin might be nearly anything, down to crushed up Draino. Many reports describe it as being cut with fentanyl, which is also a highly useful drug, but the "heroin" that's been cut with it frequently kills people.
You are incorrectly generalizing. There are lots of use cases where AI improves medicine. (Possibly at excessive cost, but still, improves.) But don't expect a generalized ChatBot to provide that improvement.
Whether it is done by "the State" or not may depend on your definition of "the State". If it's done by a corporation, and the government has access, then I feel it's done by "the State". Claiming it's actually done by "a private corporation" if petty word-play, when the government controls which corporations are allowed to exist and what they can do (and how profitable they are
FWIW, "The power to tax is the power to destroy!", so corporations are not independent of the government.

I strongly suspect that the criteria that you claim to be present are only in effect when the person accused has a decent lawyer. There have definitely been multiple cases where a "public defender" has acted in collusion with the police to the detriment of the person he was ostensibly defending.
What makes you believe that people aren't being thrown in jail for crimes they didn't commit? There's absolutely no way to quantify that statistic, but there are absolutely SOME people thrown in jail for a crime they didn't commit. Sometimes on the basis of faked evidence. How often? Nobody knows. It sometimes gets proven, and that kind of evidence is clearly hard to access.
FWIW, it does *seem* to be a rare occurrence. But whether it actually is rare is...unproveable.
I used to think that, but now I believe that BOTH things are going on at once, and they act in a reinforcing manner. With different people, different motives are dominant, but as an aggregate, they are mutually reinforcing.

Good drip coffee really just amounts to something automating the pourover process, IMO. I'm with you, I've never had good drip coffee of the type that most people are talking about.
I read the Guardian summary article, but I guess I missed the link to the full article. It sounds like the experimental setup is just bad coffee being compared against bad coffee, as I was guessing. Thanks!
Housing is a human right is an acknowledgment that humans need shelter to survive, and as a society we should attempt to provide the requirements for life at a basic level. I'm not asking for a lot here: I think governments SHOULD provide basic housing—nobody's trying to take anyone else's private property here, I don't know why you jumped to that conclusion—but if they don't, they shouldn't be tearing down encampments where people have built their own basic housing. Nobody's labour was appropriated, and yet those people are left with nowhere to go and no protection from the weather. Abjectly immoral. If governments are going to tear down encampments, then THEY'RE the ones destroying personal property and should be REQUIRED to house those people.
I didn't say that it requires the labour of others, just that it's a right. If your government doesn't provide it, it should at least not stop you from providing it for yourself.
But I do believe that societies that are moral should provide housing for people that need it. That's basically what society exists for. If we can't provide for the least of us with such abundance, why are we even here?
Torque is cheap.
