That would require real effort out of them.

Serious question - How does the Online Streaming Act work in practice for content on demand? When a Canadian tries to binge the latest season of Stranger Things, is NetFlix required to say "nope, go watch this Celine Dion concert first to get our CanCon ratio up"?

I get how it could apply to randomized content like streaming radio, but the very concept seems incompatible with "choice".

Not quite adequate. More along the lines of tearing down the aqueducts, creating technological barriers to prevent knowledge of how to build new aqueducts from being accessed by anyone who hasn't submitted fealty to them, then going out of their way to destroy the previously available knowledge that led to the first aqueducts so that "the wrong people" don't try to create any without the tech broligarch blessings. And, with an extra bit of kick in it, working every possible angle they can to promote destroying the environment to accomplish it all so we also have the possibility of not surviving the technological regress period.

Move fast and fuck shit up.

Is 98 greater than 56? Yes? Okay then. It's still going up. So much vitriol from someone posting nothing but bare assertion - Cite please, beyond your fee-fees?

Let me 'splain it to you in simple language. The number of qubits doesn't need to scale exponentially on the short term for quantum computing to pose a very real threat; it only needs to hit the mid hundreds. As I mentioned, Grover's algorithm is O(n) - Meaning once we hit 256 qubits (plus some change for overhead), SHA256 is substantially weakened. Is that a full crack of AES, which you'll kindly notice I didn't previously claim, Mr. Goalposts? No. No it isn't - But it's arguably worse - SHA is almost ubiquitous and affects far more than encryption itself. You don't need to crack a tank's armor if you can convince its driver to piss in the fuel tank.

I also happen to think - and to be clear, what follows is my opinion, not psychic knowledge about the future - you're completely wrong on the bigger picture; and once QC hits its stride Gordon Moore will again be relevant. But critically, that's not necessary for it to cause some serious damage in the near future.

The policy is already written to push most of that money straight to funding ICE and enforcement.

Those estimates are super low frequency though. I mean, hundreds of years between samples kind of low frequency.

Treating proxy data as if it is as useful as high frequency measurements in the modern satellite era is a category error.

Of course ENSO is a natural variation, and that it's not driven by human activity - it's literally circulation patterns of ocean heat that are hundreds of years long, untouched by industrialization.

I understand that the contention might be "well, our tiny fraction of human impact is going to be the straw that broke the camel's back on top of much more significant natural variation", but the truth is we don't have any really well supported evidence against natural variation - at best we have smoothed proxies that have lost resolution, and an otherwise very short observational period.

Now, I see being pissed at the boomers because of them building a welfare state that transfers all the wealth to themselves, stealing from the upcoming generations with inflation, taxation, unsustainable debt, and destructive social engineering against our shared american christian heritage. Even the natural climate change denial of the boomers is part of this selfishness.

The "New Deal" and "Great Society" and all the other socialist programs, including the "green new deal" were never a solution - they were a selfish programs that willfully cloaked themselves in faux compassion and charity, and destroyed communities, and virtue. Continuing the communist takeover only means that we're the ones giving the fuck you to the future, and pulling the ladder up after ourselves - there is no sustainable, involuntary application of "charity". Charity must be voluntary for it to work, and the failure of government interventions to force wealth transfers over the past 100 years has demonstrated that clearly.

The fact that the boomers have us focused on "climate change" is what lets them continue to extract wealth from future generations.

The money is already earmarked to go to funding ICE and enforcement. Which, well, I'm not even sure how to word what that vibe is.

The $100k is going to be a cash grab for government, business will make it transferable. Remember, government isnt try to stop an activity, just maximize its own take for it to just barely make sense.

Yeah, thats exactly how it works.

A stopped clock is right twice a day.

That's as simple as it gets. I'm no fan of the orange turd, but it's virtually impossible for him to be wrong on every issue.

Not all webpages need to be creative but I definitely expect them to be informative. So what if someone uses AI to edit or help generate the information. So long as the information is factual, it's irrelevant how it was generated. Obviously after generation, you'll want to thoroughly go over your new website to ensure it's accurate, etc.

AI is just another tool and it's not going anywhere. In fact, it's getting easier and easier to run more powerful models locally. Someone on here said this a couple weeks ago and I'm paraphrasing, but they said AI will eventually just be a device you buy and plug into your network or computer. I thoroughly believe this will come to pass and probably within 5 years.

Did you know they have country rap now? It's actually pretty good.

Nope, though it was amusing watching the boxing robots. The one round house kicked the other but instead of the one being kicked going down, the kicker just fell and couldn't get up. The other one that took the hit just stood there.

Just wait until next year or 5 years. They'll get there while we are just getting older.
