Maybe it's the ghost of Windows 3.1 haunting Microsoft for giving it such a shitty legacy.

Then again, perhaps it's the essence of MacOS, taunting Windows users.

I'm not questioning you. I'd read it just on the author if it was available around here. Rather you should file it as among my personal problems. First, I'm trying to get rid of all of my books, not buy new ones. Second, I choose to live in Japan where the libraries basically treat English books as an afterthought. (By using lots of libraries I'm able to find enough good stuff to read, and I'm reading more and more Japanese books these years.) Third, my second and final Amazon purchase was decades ago...

You misread or misunderstood the statement. Nothing was said or had anything to do with those who didn't vote.

OpenAI said they expect to spend $600bn through to 2030 on compute costs. That's $150bn per year in costs. They are projecting to make $25bn in revenue this year.

They try to get closer to making a profit like I try to get closer to winning an Olympic gold medal by doing a couple of pushups every day.

Hey as long as don't got pronouns all good!

While I agree with you in principle (it's a horrendously bad idea to dox your kids online), the concept of asking children for consent is silly. The entire legal framework we have devised is one of authority over children.

A better answer would be just don't do it, and ban them from doing it too (as a good parent should). Their opinion or consent shouldn't come into it.

Crashes you say?

Can't remember the last time I had one of those.

Republicans:

Button 1: Can't Trust the FBI.
Button 2: Trust everyone in this administration.

AIs are getting the ability to do things other than chat. ChatGPT can write some Python code and execute it. Claude can now write Jira JQL code and execute it. It can modify tickets and Confluence pages on its own. Of course, these chatbots don't understand the difference between chatting and doing, it's all the same to them. So if a bot executes something instead of just telling you how to do it, it's not trying to "get around" what you wanted, it's just an extension of its existing programming.

Neither the law nor the Constitution *prohibit* companies from disclosing private information about you, to the government. What the Constitution does do, is prohibit the government from *compelling* companies or individuals, to hand over private information, without a warrant signed by a judge. If companies like Apple choose to hand over information willingly, no laws were broken.

But still, the question remains why not have it rubber stamped from the very beginning? Why do you need that apparent stop gap?

This is not true. Because whatever your personal motivations, the mathematical result of you not voting is that you are voting for whatever majority comes out in the end. And because only a minority voted against Donald Trump, a majority either voted directly for him or was ready to accept his election win.

They do large models targeted at people who play in their livingroom. Not sure how large they go, I have a 55" one i brought about 4 years ago as my primary PC monitor. They make good monitors as they typically do not have imaging processing features to mess up the image quality and resolution.

Assuming it's remotely true (and there's good reason for thinking it isn't), it still means the FBI director was negligent in their choice of personal email provider, that the email provider had incompetent security, and that the government's failure to either have an Internet Czar (the post exists) or to enforce high standards on Internet services are a threat to the security of the nation (since we already know malware can cross airgaps through negligence, the DoD has been hit that way a few times). The FBI director could have copied unknown quantities of malware onto government machines through lax standards, any of which could have delivered classified information over the Internet (we know this because it has also happened to the DoD).

In short, the existence of the hack is a minor concern relative to every single implication that hack has.

I feel like we're stuck in a time loop with a a really screwed up read head.

I so, so very look forward to pissing on several graves. I'll happily be arrested in Arlington Cemetery, so long as they let me shake first.
