Ok, then point me to a post on Slashdot where someone says (roughly, even) "it is all just known" when it comes to human intelligence or the brain."
Your own post is an excellent example.
I have never seen anyone on slashdot claim that "it is all just known" when it comes to human intelligence or the brain. Literally, never.
You haven't been paying attention.
If you want to change the conversation to a metaphysical conversation about the nature of reality and your spiritual beliefs,
The only person talking about metaphysics and spiritual beliefs is you. You've confused "we don't know" with "it must be ghosts!"
Unbelievable...
It's always the future, isn't it? What predictions were you making this time last year? What about the year before?
It's all very silly.
False.
They call them "reasoning models" but that is pure marketing. What a fucking joke.
LOL! Sure, Jan. Whatever you say.
(Just FYI: Your little crackpot fantasy is directly contradicted by your previous post. Try harder.)
and towards the end I got one of the low-profile USB-powered drives.
Got of those, too (the early USB 1 ones, with the exposed ATAPI connector. I ended up buying Iomega's Firewire expansion that attaches on the back of the slim USB and latches on that ATAPI connector, as Firewire 400 had much better bandwidth than USB 1, provided enough power and thus required only a single cable, and I had a cheap Firewire 400 adapter laying around from some video project (funily: the Firewire 400 card was a free bundle bundled with some crappy movie software that was selling poorly and was on heavy sale at the shop I bought it from. Threw the useless CD, kept the Firewire card).
Actually I still have all three of them in storage now I think, and since one is USB I might be able to theoretically recover any data I have on disks still.
Mine still works too. The most difficult was trying to find the barrel power plug (since back in the days I was mostly using the Firewire attachment and because Firewire provides enough power, I wasn't using the barrel jack much. Nowadays most of my machine are USB only.
Zip drives were great when I first got into it
Yup. The slim USB were also a good solution to carry data around.
Bring the slim USB and the cables at the university, download shit with the fast bandwidth, then bring the drive back home, plug into the Firewire attachment and load it onto the computer.
Later the university aquired computers (from Dell) that came with ZIP IDE drive built in, so I only carried the Zip250 disks and kept the drive permanently plugged into the Firewire attachement. And almost lost the power barrel adapter as mentioned above.
Ah, I see the problem. You're illiterate.
What a waste of time you are.
Yet you are quick to judge me because I am "religious."
I'm not judging you because you're "religious", I'm judging you because you're a stupid, dishonest, asshole. Your religious beliefs, whatever they are, are why you have a persecution complex, not why you're being "persecuted".
Now, where were with with regard to respect and compassion? I certainly don't see it in you.
Respect? I respect your basic human rights. That's all. Beyond that, I have zero respect for you. Not because you're "religious", because you're a stupid, dishonest, asshole.
Compassion? I have that in spades. For example, I feel bad that you're a stupid, dishonest, asshole. I also don't kill spiders.
I am 100% sure I can get efficiency closer to 10,000x rather than 100x better. And no, this is not exaggerations.
What makes you think you can easily do what countless educated and experienced experts with access to resources cannot?
If there's anyone in China reading this
...they'll ignore you, like any other crackpot.
If you think you have something, do the work and publish. Fame and fortune await.
Don't be so sure...
Well, your argument is bogus. It's pretty obvious that you didn't read the linked article. You made an (incorrect) assumption about what it contained and responded to that instead. The strong implication that you did read the article I'd say makes you a liar. You also seem to be confused about the concept of hypocrisy. Calling out your nonsense is honestly, not hypocrisy.
Now, I certainly have a lack of respect and compassion for you. Not because you're religious, of course, because you're a dishonest prick.
Photocopiers implemented bank note detection to prevent users copying them, as did scanner software and apps like Photoshop.
Yes, that ass-backward approach came in my mind.
Your bank notes are too easy to copy now that color photocopiers and color laser printers are a thing?
- Rest of the world: make better banknotes (see swiss money, euros, etc.)
- USA: make bank note detection software mandatory on each piece of tech (HP and other US manufacturers have a boner at the thoughts of the sudden illegalness of cheaper competitors from countries without that function) and also mandate yellow dot tracking (now in addition the police-state is having a boner, too) (*).
- Rest of the world: why the hell is my color cartridge constantly empty on yellow and why is this preventing my to print even black and white?
Same here:
USA: has a problem of violence, bonkers level of gun proliferation, on tops of tons of ways to make life shitty for everyone (lack of proper health care, social welfare, etc.)
also the USA: lets add "gun detectors" to 3D printers so nobody prints a gun without a serial number. Surely that's the best solution to address all of the above, right?
I would imagine that 3D printer manufacturers will comply by adding some largely ineffective code to their apps that blocks known gun designs.
Trouble is that this time, most 3D manufacturers ARE NOT in the USA.
Most of them are in China, and the US is only a fraction of their exports, and the required function requires magnitude more compute power to implement than the tiny micro-controller that is usually found in those printers and implementing would require massively driving up the cost of the printer.
Chance are high that the manufacturer will just say f-u, and merely just stop selling complete pre-assembled kit to the USA, only stuff that can circumvent the restrictions (e.g., kits with only motor and drivers that require adding a sold-separately microcontroller).
---
(*): fun fact: on some printers (E.g. with very low memory) those "functionnalities" were implemented in the drivers instead.
My ancient HP color lasterjet works this way. There are no yellow dot when I print from CUPS.
It's entirely possible that the "gun detection" is going to be the same: crappy buggy detection +additional privacy invading tracking implemented into the management software shipped next to the 3D printer as the MCU cannot handle that. Circumventable by downloading Octoprint from some european server and running that on a Pi to manage the printers.
It's a joke, dipshit. Read my post again. Pay attention this time.
For the record, I specifically went looking for a few studies to link here in support of your post, expecting that you weren't just talking out of your ass.
If you don't actually have anything, instead of accusing me of being disingenuous, just say so.
find out the results are rock solid [...] assholes like you that cannot accept them
What results? The pop sci article you linked to didn't cite a single actual study. The author, Steve Taylor, is also
Can you cite a single study that supports your claim?
then you do some tiny bit into who funded what
Can you cite a single example of a study that both contradicts your claim and was also funded by a bias source?
