No, npm is literally the opposite of that.

I run Drupal and it uses composer, which does basically the same thing. But then I want some javascript libraries that you can't get through composer repos itself, you need to get them from npm. So every time there's one of these npm exploit stories I say oh shit, some more shit I need to read. Luckily I'm only pulling in literally two packages from there. But I don't need to do this, I only do it specifically for the purpose of not having my site refer to some other site for those javascript libraries. That way, someone else changing their library doesn't automatically screw up my site, or more plausibly since I am not running any javascript on the server side, start back dooring other people who visit there. So npm is exactly the kind of thing you think people should be using, except with less oversight which is why we keep hearing about loads of compromised packages.

1) We do NOT have AI. We have Large Language Models and similar predictive software.

2) When it attempts recursive improvements we get recursive deterioration. LLM fed the output of other LLM get worse, not better. This will NOT change. The best they can obtain is 0 deterioration. Why? Because prediction needs good data. Predictions based on other predictions is like making a copy of a copy. The best it can do is stay even. The LLM did the best possible prediction in the first round, using it again without more data does NOT work.

3) We already are seeing this problem as so much of the internet has become AI slop that it is feeding AI slop as input for other AI, resulting in worse slop. Example:
Not a robot, not an android, but instead a Large Language Module -> Not a machine, not a phone, but instead a huge English component.

4) AI can be helpful for a lot of tedious work, such as going through theoretical chemicals looking for possible medicinal drugs. But the idea that it is actually becoming intelligent leads people to over-estimate it's capabilities and it's fears.

5) An AI that tries to take over the world is likely to threaten us with an anti-matter bomb it swears it made using a Mr. Fusion machine, a bannana peel and 12 oz of beer. Do NOT fall for it.

Yeah, they had B5 to crib from.

If you're putting it in the title, yes it is.

Dear friend,

We make certain rules so that we can live in the same nation together. For example, we must to a reasonable extent unify our motor vehicle requirements so that you can reasonably travel to other states without onerous additional inspections and harassment. Alas, with rights come responsibilities.

Signed,
Srsly

The link we wanted was actually in that story, which is worthless by comparison

You can see this on every popular forum and social network. And as far as I can tell, the only people they ever try to verify actually exist are the real ones

Samsung is run by the most short sited, greedy people. Not surprising they abandoned NJ for an immediate benefit. I love their products, but they are literally destroying South Korea.

They created an internconnected network ownership system (company A owns 50% of company B that owns 50 of company A) that controls 15-23% of South Korean economy. They do so with a strong company-first culture, where the employees go out with their boss drinking on Friday night. At one point all night sessions were mandatory.

For some reason, people that go out drinking with their boss every Friday night never get married or have children. (Wow, who could figure that out....)

While South Korea does have mandatory child leave rules, no one USES them because if you do, you are seen as disloyal to the company and do not get promoted.

Their population is expected to be cut in half over the next 60 years. This will also mean that they will not have enough working young people to support the older generation, all within a decade.

Good news is that real estate prices should drop like a stone.

The main cause appears to be the idea of loyalty to the company and not to the family. Everyone puts their work first to the point that they do not have children.

(Note, the expense of raising a child does affect this trend as well, but the statistics show the problem is not married people refusing to have kids but instead people NOT getting married).

Samsung does make good products, but their culture is destroying their country.

Yeah, but he has to close his eyes, who can successfully nut while being sucked off by The Joker?

Not necessarily true. They might think they can make more with it in the future, or they might just want to stop a competitor from having a success when they do not at all need the money. You are thinking like a poor.

I'd say the original series is the weakest of all of them... but this is understandable, because they were finding the formula. They didn't really hit their stride until a couple seasons in there either, but there was a lot more to like sooner than SGU. The state of the art was lesser at the time as well, so that made it more appealing, because the production values were really very high. It might not seem like it if you compare S1 of SG1 to S1 of SGA, but you just have to remember that time passed there.

If you watched it in period and were fresh off a high of watching the movie, it was a lot more appealing.

Ah, you're one of those people who doesn't recognize that the ICC and general welfare clauses constitute an effective blank check, because the constitution was written at a simpler, dumber time

There are exactly 8B people on the planet? That's interesting news. Factually though, most people want less pollution, and don't care what cowards think.

What does this ruling have to do with parties? A democratic administration would have sought the same end.

I can edit but I generally choose not to. Given the tripe many people are passing off as logic around here, I might as well pass off tripe as editing.

Sure, I agree. They also went after heavy diesel RVs, which are an even smaller percentage. I need to take ours in for a smoke test before the 18th. I have one scheduled, and found someone to do it for half as much as the local Cummins, but it's still $125. The engine has no emissions equipment whatsoever but California wants to make sure my rings are good, I guess... every fucking year. Even though this is a smog exempt county for all the non-heavy vehicles. This is the first time I've ever been big mad at CARB, I think equipment restrictions requiring an E.O. number are stupid AF and only tailpipe testing should matter, do it during an actual drive if it needs to be realistic. But that stuff is minor compared to this, which is an attempt to steal people's homes.
