First, if the method is a video selfie, couldn't an AI video be used to fake it?

Second, do I care if people believe I'm real or not?

"It appears that the agency has an offline copy of the wiped data"

Well, like, duh. Had they not, they should all be immediately fired. And never work in IT again.

I don't mean that in a demeaning way. Z80 assembly language was my first professional programming job and I spent some years being the department SME. I'm very interested in this, but I don't currently have a use case. In the present time, where we have 64 bit Raspberry Pis, I'm sad to say that I'm not sure there is one.

I'd love to be wrong about this.

Unfortunately, the software I need to be able to run makes heavy use of the GPU. I don't think Windows VMs have that level of compatibility yet.

I think the hot setup is to run it in an AWS instance. That way I could have access to the software from pretty much anywhere. But I don't expect that to work either.

Yes, exactly.

Nor will my mom's machine, mother-in-law's machine, and wife's machine.

As I depend on a software suite that doesn't yet run on Linux, I'm kinda trapped. My machine is studly and in fine shape. I'm not going to replace it at this time.

So, Microsoft can continue clutching their pearls.

Or.... they could perhaps come out with a version of Windows that doesn't depend on TPM 2.

Or, I could bite the bullet and switch to Linux. I already have Mint running on a laptop, and it's pretty nifty.

...It's ennui.

It's not clear how the writer, Ana Nogueira, got the job. She appears to be a decent actress, but her only other writing credit was a short film eight years ago.

But anyway, the issue doesn't seem to be "superhero fatigue" but bad movie fatigue. It's not even worth getting angry about. We had a good run, time to look for other genres. Maybe I'll go see Iron Lung.

...and not expect someone to abuse it. Goes for surveillance, back doors, anything that might be conducive to abuse.

In this particular case, it doesn't surprise me at all that a cop would use surveillance for personal gain. What surprises me a little was that he was caught.

"cannot draw general conclusions based on concepts presented explicitly in a text"

Wow, that would explain a lot.

But it goes further, the vocabulary of school age kids is shrinking also.

For me it's MacOS and Mint, but I have a Winders machine assigned to me on which I am forced to do development for a job.

In fairness, MacOS updates have caused problems. Although, not anywhere nearly as frequently.

According to co-workers, the latest patch bundle has caused some problems. Patches are curated, but apparently some issues got through. I've put off updates until tonight. Tomorrow may not be very productive.

So, just so we're clear, all that literature through the last couple hundred years about artificial intelligence doing harm to humanity, has TRAINED artificial intelligence to do harm to humanity?

I guess that would follow.

"It's just like Chrome", they said.

"It's more secure", they said.

I've heard that Nethack is absurdly complicated.

I'm still playing Hack 1.0.3. (On WSL.) Maybe it's finally time to try Nethack.
