I can imagine Apple later removing the "paste anyway" option and requiring you to go to Settings > Privacy to confirm the action, like how they've done with running apps downloaded off of the internet
It's a function implemented in the shipped terminal.app. If you use a third party terminal app, it won't have the protection. Chances are if you're using a third party terminal you're probably sophisticated enough to not blindly run shell commands
Why is it the business of my OS vendor how old I am?
Because it's an alternative to websites asking your age.
The option is the website could verify your age. Or it could hand it off to the OS to handle that part. (Its not like there isn't precedent - things like passkeys and video decoding are passed from the browser to the OS).
If the OS handles it, great. The age verification gate is passed and you can do whatever you're allowed to.
Else, well, you then need to submit 2 pieces of ID to the website to prove your age where that personal information will be stored for an indefinite period of time on an insecure server waiting for someone to hack it.
OSes from Apple, Microsoft and Google pretty much know your age. This lets sites do the age verification check without you have to lift a finger. Of course, a certain other popular OS is not mentioned. For those wanting to "fight the system", chances are you'll just be like those using a VPN hitting CloudFlare protected sites. Either having to submit ID, or the site refusing you entry because they don't want to hold onto people's ID.
Of course, the better idea is to fix the legislation but that would likely push age verification back to the site and ID submissions. So maybe the better solution is to fix the legislation so sites don't have to check ages and just not do dark pattern stuff.
You also forgot things like virtual memory - both in separating process address spaces and in using disk as memory, protected memory, memory management, and all leading up to virtual machines (partitions) letting you run multiple OSes on the same machine.
Some of IBM's latest mainframes are just wild in their I/O and interconnects. Even the CPU specs are just strange and off the charts.
About the most annoying this about IBM is that their names for stuff like this doesn't match what most people would call the technology today - they have a totally different set of jargon for computing that's basically completely different from what people who didn't grow up with IBM computing had. I know at least one difference that tripped people up - bit 0 is the LSB in basically all of modern computing. Escept it's the MSB for IBM CPUs, and it tripped up people when it made it to consumer stuff like PowerPC. I know the first few PowerPC boards we had needed a re-spin because the hardware engineer messed up the bit orders.
Well no Switch 2 or PS5 for me. Going to stick with my Switch 1 until things settle down.
The Switch 2 is probably one you might want to get sooner rather than later (i.e., before Nintendo jacks up the price - they haven't yet).
Even if all you do with it is play Switch 1 games as memory bandwidth problems with the Switch 1 meant many games were stuck at sub-30 FPS and basically unplayable. The Switch 2 runs them at a buttery smooth 60 FPS locked which turns your games into something actually fun to play.
It's not just that the Switch 2 is faster, it's that the Switch 2 fixed a number of bottlenecks with the Tegra chip so Switch 1 games no longer ended up with sub 30 FPS or such.
The PS5 can be held off especially if you have a PS4 as there's nothing really that's PS5 only that isn't already on PS4.
But going from the Switch 1 to the Switch 2 is well worth the upgrade price especially as later games just couldn't do 30 FPS.
Chips aren't magic. In fact, they're one of the worst things in the world, because they're extremely proprietary. As in each vet has to have a scanner capable of reading each manufacturer's chip
They can detect the presence of a chip, but if they don't have the right reader, it doesn't read. And that gets you an ID number, it has to be looked up in the manufacturer's database.
That's why when that chip manufacturer went bankrupt, they told everyone they had to get their pets re-chipped with a new one, because their chip will no longer have the database backing it up.
Also, if you move, you need to update the manufacturer with your new details - how many pets have chips but their details were not updated so it was not possible to contact the original owner.
Or even worse, because chips are proprietary, they simply couldn't read the chip at all. Each reader is for one manufacturer so vets typically only carry a couple of readers.
Chips do help, as do tattoos. But also make sure they have ID tags on their collars - dog licenses, rabies tags, and AirTags can all ID your pet provided they aren't separated from their collars. (Yeah, yeah, but it's possible to collar train your dog so they always wear them, and many of the nicer ones have built in AirTag pockets). They do make GPS trackers as well, but they're kind of large so it's only suitable for larger dogs.
There's plenty of ways to ID your pet. Use all of them - the dog license and rabies tags offer very up to date information on the owner since they're renewed annually. The AirTag can both let you leave contact information as well as help you track your pet. The chip and tattoo are there in case your pet manages to take off their collar (which they usually shouldn't if properly trained).
in his actual papers on relativity mass does not "create gravitation." Energy, momentum and some off-diagonal terms like stress and pressure gravitate. There is no mass term in the stress-energy tensor
There most certainly is. Density-- mass per unit volume-- is the (0,0) term of the stress-energy tensor.
If the launch fails at a point where it is say 50 miles up, and the reactor has been turned on prior to launch.
The conops says that the reactor doesn't get turned on until after it's successfully placed in a high orbit.
A good feature of nuclear reactors is that they aren't dangerously radioactive until after you turn them on.
Here's a case of a very experienced journalist getting caught by including made-up quotes that had been hallucinated by the AI he'd used to summarize research information: https://www.theguardian.com/te...
Vandermeersch added: “It is particularly painful that I made precisely the mistake I have repeatedly warned colleagues about: these language models are so good that they produce irresistible quotes you are tempted to use as an author. Of course, I should have verified them. The necessary ‘human oversight’, which I consistently advocate, fell short.”
When even experienced journalists fail to find AI hallucinations, you really can't expect unpaid volunteers to do better.
Extremely unsafe reputationally, and extremely dubious in terms of profits.
Especially for an administration who's priority is to eliminate pornography as an evil to society and why the US isn't having more babies and getting divorced way too often.
It's in the book. Everything Trump has done has followed Project 2025 (and now Project 2026) book. Getting rid of pornographic materials is pretty much the first chapter.
it means that arms can be regulated, but cannot be banned
Banning is a form of regulation. "v. to govern or direct according to rule"
Yes. To be precise, banning is a form of regulation which the amendment forbids. Regulation OTHER than banning is not forbidden.
Wikipedia is choosing to die. There is a lot wrong with a lot of what people are doing with GenAI but it is also super useful.
Unfortunately, even the best LLMs sometimes make up information ("hallucinate"), and the stuff they make up is deliberately crafted to appear exactly like real information. This is simply unacceptable for an encyclopedia.
If Wikipedia were written by paid professionals, you could plausibly put in place protocols to check and verify, and fire the ones who fail to check properly, but even paid professionals have been seen to let hallucinations through. As it is, as an encyclopedia that it is put together by volunteers, forbidding AI is pretty much a forced choice.

But a question to ask is, was it actually a robot? Or was it just a remote teleoperated by a human?
You aren't that interesting either and yet you found a way to look interesting with sock puppet accounts, maybe they'll just do the same.
The problem is that a sock puppet uses an actual human to operate it, while bots run with little or no need for human effort. So a human can turn out a handful of posts with sock puppets, while bots can be churn out thousands and thousands of posts, swamping any system with slop.
No it doesn't.
"Root: The term derives from the Latin regula ("rule, regulation, pattern").
Let me verify: you are actually denying that the root of regulus is regus, genitive case of the Latin rex, "king"?
