Can’t believe I’m going to defend this idiocy buuuut of the crypto bros want to gamble their imaginary coins on random future outcomes, what makes this a crime that is worthy of taking up limited white-collar crime investigative resources? Unless there is evidence and accusations of outright fraud, this seems to be the exact stupidity thing people in a free country would be allowed to do. Prove me wrong without spitting on your keyboard.

Problem is, too many code monkeys believe CS is being able to "code" HTML.

I've seen advanced LLMs generate good code down to rare control system architectures now - I've seen your opinion a thousand times before in IT. It's protectionism and a refusal to believe you will soon need to find another niche.

"It went from complete absurdity to surprisingly capable...". Your post reads like someone in denial of the fact their profession will soon be automated away, like so many others in the past. So you think tech will stop at "surprisingly capable" eh? Get on the bandwagon vs. being left behind in the dust.

I graduated from comp sci over 20 years ago, and have had a lifelong career/interest in programming. Of note, my specialty in university was compilers and computer language design.

Thing is, all computer languages exist for one reason: to translate what we want to do, and can describe in English (or other human language), into a language a computer can understand. The sole reason for compilers is to take our high level languages (eg. C, Java), and progressively rewrite them until you have specific language a CPU can interpret (machine code). Over 20 years ago, the holy grail was "imagine if we could just talk to a computer and describe what we wanted it to do vs. the tedious and mundane process of breaking it down to it's language?".

Many looked at the subsequent study of Natural Language Processing (NLP) as impossible, but we simply hadn't invented the raw CPU power (200MHz machines at the time) and statistical understanding of language yet.

My point is, we are nearly there. Deny all you want, it's the same as denying climate change. Soon enough, translating human language to what a computer can do will be a trivial problem. I'm all for it, as a major step forward in our technological advancement. Prepare for it however you must.

Right. We've invented nanoscale architectures which can meaningfully mimic human intelligence, but we won't be able to figure out a way to keep crops a few degrees cooler? Right. Faced with a real problem like starvation, you have to be an idiot to think humanity won't be able to devise a solution.

In before the dumbass who says the poorest few millions will die - we already get that from freezing temperatures. Life in this cold, dark universe is hard but we've made it ~4 billions years in already. The only retards are those screaming end of the world.

"In this case I believe the hottest temperature will be in the limit of approaching zero kelvin from below i.e. just below 0K. It literally cannot get hotter than that."

Nerdiest answer ever. I love it. ./ is baaaaaaaaack!

The worst part of this is there was a recent Canadian election and Carney ran on an “elbows up” platform to stand up to Trump, which happened right at the peak of Canadian anger over his actions. Since winning, he has done nothing but acquiesce and fold to every demand of Trump. I know I’m generalizing here, but Canadian Liberal party voters are among the dumbest people I know. They’ve supported a complete failure of a government through four elections (granted 3 minorities in a row), but they act just like an abused girlfriend who can’t make the right choice. The Liberals make some small change and say “it’ll be different this time” and continue to lie and abuse again and again and again. I’m not saying the other parties may be better, but the point of elections is to throw incumbents out so they make true change. I can’t do the math on their voters.

“micropayments, taking surveys, watching ads, and more” - So more of what made the internet shitty in the first place, yay!! The one thing I don’t mind would perhaps be micropayments or subscriptions to the news sites I really enjoy, but the fuck I would do that through google, who I can promise now is going to take the biggest cut forwhat exactly?

The ultimate advertising technique to get the lefties out to see this movie. Can’t you see how well they framed it in the summary? Pure rage porn for them. Bet they don’t shot the scenes of everyone staying within the velvet ropes.

I heard it from many a poster on here that Rogan is a straight up n@zi what’s the darling of the left doing sitting down with him to have an actual conversation? Their heads must be exploding trying to rationalize this.

I think you're giving them too much credit. If I read this correctly, they're only allowing you to change the y.

By the vast amount of folks ideological invested in opposing the oil industry vs. actually reducing emissions.

Ok great, but this article is about tech support. Just how many of those accounts you protect with such access, where if you lost it, would you find it acceptable that it is truly inaccessible forever more? Your email? Your bank account??

I’ve managed many help desks, and a constant high volume is “I forgot my password” or “I can’t access this please help me”. I get what you’re saying about putting responsibility in users hands, but the large paying customers are not ready for that and probably won’t ever be. They will always pay well for support that can regain access to whatever they have. Just reality.

Ahem, it’s a $5 wrench. Get your facts straight.
