Because filtering the training data is so much harder than just having them swim through the internet swallowing everything, like whales eating krill.

Not sure this is really news. Well, except that Texas has stopped buying American.

It's the time change that's the problem. Otherwise being near the timezone border would be an issue.

On the 5 year post. Don't want to think about how much time I've spent commenting here since then. Damn, I've been here almost 30 years. Still spending my work day in Linux.

Who's this old guy in the mirror?

There is no reason bitcoin can't slide back to being worth a dollar a coin. There no guarantee of value behind it. You can argue about whether fiat money is any better once the US went off the gold standard, but there is still a bit of irreplaceable value there; "the full faith and credit" means you can use it to transact business with the government, both by contracting to do public works for which the government pays you, and paying taxes and fees which are used to perform government functions and give you tokens such as licenses which show that you've contributed your share. Money's very liquidity for these purposes is a source of value, even if you can't redeem your picture of a President for precious metal. By contrast, Bitcoin literally isn't worth anything unless you can find someone (for some reason the phrase "bigger fool" comes to mind) to trade you something for it that does have value.

of production made the USSR what it is today!

Keep in mind that the "American Century" included nuclear nonproliferation. Which, to be sure, was already on life support. But it's dead now. We're all going to miss that.

It also included the US Navy guaranteeing freedom of navigation. We're going to miss that, too.

Whoosh.

Yeah, but it also lead to the kind of feature bloat that turned productive apps in overly complicated whales that were no longer usable for their original purpose.

Or a variant that's closer to Ebola Reston. Airborne, 100% fatality rate (so far only in a couple species of monkeys. So far...)

Google promised that you would never have to delete an email ever? That they would keep all of it forever as though they were doing you some kind of favor?

What are they hoping to achieve at this point?

Both ran without preceding ads. At both, just before the films started, I was thinking the theaters were awfully empty. Then, about 20 minutes in, people started coming in.

Wait a minute, they showed the Artemis crew a story about a guy who is drugged and kidnapped by his space agency and wakes up 11 light-years from home with the rest of his crew dead to bolster their spirits?

...on its face as it boots up?
