Since when did they desecrate Cape Canaveral by adding war mongering to its name?

Canonical should pay the Internet Archive to keep a read only copy available.
Not true. POTS phones often use mechanical ringers. They take a lot more power than modern phones. A friend of mine likes old princess phones. Modern phone switching stations aren't designed to handle the power draw of five beefy electromagnets from the 60s: Every time he got a call it blew the breakers. They actually asked him to please only plug in one at a time. And no they aren't powered locally. The little transformers they used to plug in just powered their network on your bill, there was no separation between your home and all the others with similar wall warts. Unplug them and your phones would still ring.
Why not carry both? I'm sure they can integrate their functions in interesting ways.
We are growing into a two-speed network. Lightspeed backhaul, WiFi local. Seems like normal evolution/advancement into suoer-cool future tech.
Not a prediction, but a postdiction: Begun the cyberwars have.
Our brains are good at detecting spatial patterns with our eyes. They are better at detecting patterns in time with our ears. I think bringing a new dimension to the task of understanding "dark matter" has merit. It certainly inspires a new approach and way to think about it. The quotes around dark matter are because I think they are way off on what it really is.
How about banning the editors from using AI? They want more output, they expect AI to be the answer; tell the journalists to use AI however they see fit to produce the various articles the editors want. They will be directly engaged and willing to put their names on the final product(s). Editors can give direction and have final say on what is or isn't published, but they aren't supposed to be writing the articles too.
"We show that in almost every case where you use these fibers, this could be a privacy concern."

"However, this technique worked only for coiled cables, exposed at the surface, at distances of up to 5 meters from the speaker. Burying the cable under just 20 centimeters of dirt was enough to muddy the speech. And straight cables -- even exposed ones right next to the speaker -- did not record speech well."
So interesting, but sensationalized clickbaity BS of no utility. Moving on, slashhasbeen.
Two of the most awesome, enlightenning experiences of my life were each due to mushrooms. The first was 5 grams of dried, the second was an ounce of fresh. I pretty much saw God, and was so happy I laughed for 45 minutes.
They want this in k-12 grades? The AI landscape is changing so fast anything we teach those kids will be obsolete by the time they enter the workforce. Sure, teach them about it as part of proper STEM education, plus language skills, music, and athletic activities, but don't waste too much time on the nuances of dealing with an LLM. In many cases the kids will know more than the teachers anyway.
This will become a vector for malware. Interacts with agents, aware of what's on your screen, has ability to overlay (as in hide other things), implicitly trusted; an awesome target.
This is a great idea. Most homes around the world are built with cinder blocks, not wood. If they were standardized to interlock the buildings would be stronger and cost less due to not needing much mortar, if any.
Dude. We're talking medical devices. Your rant is off topic paranoia. Go outside and get some fresh air.
High-res retinal scans can show Alzheimer's disease before symptoms start. I hope they add that to the software for this device too.
