I did a google search, then I wanted to do another related search, google figured out accurately what I wanted on the second one based on the first, and offered as a suggestion exactly the search I had in mind. Could they do this without AI? Maybe, they were doing it before, but rarely did it actually give the suggestion I wanted. I might not have thought anything of it but there were interface appearance changes at the same time.
Problem is, lawmakers are too often on the teat. A proper response to this would be to not only force them to restore literally all of these domains but also allow people to use them for commercial use after this, just to remind Google that they don't run the world.
The problem here isn't scams and grift. It's that by growing the number of bets by orders of magnitude, you grow the number of insiders with insider info by orders of magnitude. Which creates perverse incentives across your entire economy for people to profit off of their status, while simultaneously making it much harder to do so.
Say there's a bet on whether Russia will take the village of Mala Tokmachka by a certain date. Well, now every Russian commander on that front has an incentive to have family members / friends bet against it and then delay / undercut their ability to wage incentives, while every soldier also has the incentive to do so and then do everything they can to spoil the offensive.
Or say the US is planning a major offensive in Iran, and various insiders are betting *on* an imminent attack. Well, Iran can feed Polymarket data into their intel assessments as one factor to help determine when the US will invade in order to maximize their readiness. OR, Iranian intel services could track down US officials / military officers who are making these bets based on insider info and blackmail them in order to get them to cooperate.
Every single aspect of society that gets bet on gets subtly undercut by the existence of these bets. It's one thing to have bets be placed on sports, an action that by definition is entertainment, something that doesn't actually matter. But it's an entirely different thing to have bets on virtually everything in our world. It's already been a problem with stock trading, but sites like Polymarket make it so, so much worse.
That was the last great windows, for windows values of great. I refuse to go find out, but I bet someone has even figured out how to get it past the 2GB limit and implement USB.
Just to be clear are you suggesting the people who design hardware should be working on coding in Windows,
Seems like it would be an improvement.
Yes. And not every wavelength gets absorbed by cloud cover.
Every wavelength of IR is attenuated by cloud cover to some degree, some more strongly than others. Absorption is also not the only issue.
The Novell Netware model adapted to the VM era is what makes sense, where the tools don't require logging in to the server at all in order to administer the environment.
What? You absolutely had to authenticate to administer a Netware server, unless you did it from the console in the early days. That is logging in. If you don't think so, then neither is passwordless rsh, or ssh with a key and no password.
because they won't give up that terrible UI they've invested so much in
Most of the basic behavior of the UI used in Windows was inherited from IBM CUA, and is also shared by all of the commonest DEs for Linux. They also all have an analogue of the start menu. It's unclear what you're talking about here.
Legacy macOS 10 was never meant as a server OS
Back when the OS MacOS is now based on was created, there was no distinction between workstation and server OSes. Therefore MacOS X not being intended as a server OS is a downgrade from the prior product... like many of the changes Apple made, especially the UI ones.
They chose the under-tested alpha version of an OS from a vendor who is running an attack on the GPL. What could possibly be less surprising than that? You need to recalibrate your surprise-o-meter.
Another disturbing point, why was GitHub being used? Standing up a Git server is easy
Yeah that. Why not a GitGov or GovHub? It makes zero sense.
I was just going to remind IS of their password policy recommendations that everyone doing business with the feds are supposed to follow.
So much for that fucking idea.
I did a stint as an RV repair tech but I really don't want to replace more poop tanks and I can't get a good reference because my ex-boss is a POS.
Maybe it's appliance repair next I guess, that was some of the least terrible RV repair work
Imagine if Nazis had access to modern technology when they were tracking every Jewish person.
We don't have to imagine, we have an apartheid regime including ubiquitous tracking and an ongoing genocide which we can just look at.
as you shovel this garbage onto your audience you should know that your audience does, in fact, know the difference.
Some of them will. Some of them will have absolutely no clue, just like now.
AI hallucination in a factual broadcast is like catshit on a pizza: It doesn't matter how infrequent it is, no amount is acceptable.
To thinking people, yes. A lot of people are listening to podcasts to figure out what to think.
