damn, that sucks.
poor kid but he was an inspiration

He was definitely right when he said the iBook looked like a Hello Kitty purse.

Or Fat Fingers McSpellsbad typoed the correct password and landed on the duress password instead. We'll never know since in the process he destroyed any evidence of what the passwords might have been.

Fortunately for the defendant, it's up to the prosecutor to PROVE that that isn't how the data came to be wiped.

He's real...ly impressive

Will never be Batman or Spiderman but perhaps i can be sorta Daredevil

What a bunch of POS psychopaths.
I have some bonds maturing, and I'll definitely put the proceeds into MSFT and LPL.

As long as you're a white american.

when all they had to do was use a map?
how did they manage to not get slaughtered in Afghanistan and Iraq, without AI?

Some of us work at night.
Several times i've had updates intrude while in the middle of a cutover or other major upgrade affecting the entire org.

You missed the point. Small enough pieces are already understandable. But... Well... It's like the problem with global variables, a few are really useful, but when they multiply the code becomes unintelligible. There are too many interactions.

Whether we know how they work or not depends on how closely you look. If you look closely enough, every single decision is understandable. But it's so complex that nobody understands the ensemble. Even ordinary programs are sort of this way. The Obfuscated C Contest is just an extreme outlier, but any really large chunk of code written by somebody else (or by you over the last few years ... and not all at once) can be difficult to understand. As it gets bigger, and has more patches, the problem gets worse. These things are at an extreme edge of this problem. But every small enough piece of them can be understood...at least by somebody.

this one was a orange drink - i like just about anything citrus very much.
i tried it only because it was a freebie on my loyalty points card from where i usually get breakfast or coffee. i guess i found out it came with an unknown cost.

In this context inappropriate use of AI is a use that gets unchecked erroneous outputs that you care about or it more expensive than you want to pay.

OK, many people don't know how to use it yet.

AI is such a versatile tool that people keep trying to use it in inappropriate ways/places. Again, like computers in the 1960's & 1970's. I suspect that we're still at the point where most attempts will fail (some horribly), but some will be REALLY successful.

N.B.: Computers didn't become largely successful until structured programming and commodity software took over large parts of the market. That greatly reduced the errors. What's the equivalent for AI? We won't know until after robots become common. (LLMs are just touching the edge of what AIs can do.)

I enjoy coffee occasionally but i found out last year that those energy drinks are NOT for me.
I had ONE with about 150mg caffeine and within a few minutes had cardiac palpitations that didn't subside for nearly 20 minutes.
That has NEVER happened to me before & I'm not keen on it happening ever again
