I don't think any trajectory that ends under 6% can really be called skyrocketing.
Your personal wealth is less than 0.0009% of the entire worlds wealth. Your wealth suddenly skyrockets to 6% of the entire worlds wealth. Oh wait, it didn't skyrocket... it lazily flopped to 6% of the world's wealth?
I am curious how they identify kids that are using VPNs to non-hostile countries to then do what they want on the Internet. Are they blocking all VPNs? Are they decrypting all traffic leaving Australia? I can't imagine that the law is anything other than the most minor annoyance to minors.
Or are you folks keeping your kids uneducated and ignorant over there like they are in the USA?
Can it clone proprietary software and turn it into an open source project?
If so, then I think the tradeoff is fair.
There is no tradeoff at all. This process takes Open Source code and turns it into unmaintainable gibberish. This same product also takes Proprietary software and turns it into unmaintainable gibberish.
Nothing was taken from Open Source, but something was taken from Proprietary.
You are further from a usable product if you use this on Open Source.
You are closer to a usable product if you use it on Proprietary software.
In the US we do have real choices, sometimes both bad but real.
I can tell that you really believe what you are saying. *sigh*
Have you ever, even once, voted for someone without an R or D next to their name? I have. Needless to say, it was a "wasted" vote.
So you have two political parties pushing candidates at you. Those candidates are vetted for pushing the parties interests above all else before they can even get their name on the ballot.
Tell me again, in more detail, about the real choices that we have in America.
So DJT manages to pull off what environmentalists and advocacy groups haven't been able to do for decades...by sheer incompetence?
I can see why you think that.
Knowing him, he'll probably turn around at some point and claim that it was his intention all along...
He won't, but it was intentional. Look at the words out of his own mouth: "Go get your own oil, or buy it from us"
Who exactly did you think made that multi-billion trade on oil futures just before the war started? Bill Cosby?
There are, in the world, multiple people with different, sometimes even contradictory opinions between them.
I apologize that I did not get to them quickly enough. We all know that it is only my own opinion that matters. If people are having differing opinions, it just means that I have gotten my message to them yet. *sigh*
To be fair, there are a LOT of people, and some don't even speak my language. WTF?
If that trend continues at pace you are out of a job in three years.
Your logic is weak. AI has not shown any real improvements since it was released onto the public. They are dialing in the exact weights and such needed to maintain "accuracy", but there will be no further improvements on the current technology that will lead to future breakthroughs. LLMs are a thing, and MIGHT be part of a future very capable AI; however, LLMs will NEVER be AGI regardless of what is done with them.
One wonders what other skills will atrophy due to AI reliance.
No wondering is necessary. AI reliance will absolutely kill off any remaining critical thoughts/thinking you may have. Reality is going to be absolutely and completely miserable for humanity from here on out. Your life will be miserable, but you will be unable to figure out why... just asking yourself over and over, "why are things like this?", but being unable to come up with an answer.
Hey, wait a minute, we are already like that without AI.
NO MORE WOOL!
So, no, this cluster of patches doesn't tell us anything in particular beyond what we already knew: That emergency patches are relatively common.
Considering that Microsoft has been promising this exact same type of improvement since the release of XP Service Pack 3, the words spoken now are worthless platitudes provided to ensure the smoothness of the theft of your money. There is zero reality behind any of their promises.
and mass surveillance will become the norm
If you didn't know mass surveillance was coming since the 1970s, you were not very imaginative and didn't understand human psychology.
Mass surveillance is occurring right now, it will continue to occur, and it will increase. There is no stopping it. Humans want to know about other humans and they want to control and bully other humans. No matter who gets near the surveillance apparatus, they will be corrupted by its power. The One Ring indeed.
The hate really should be directed at the politicians who pushed for these age gate laws
The politicians voting for this stuff are not voting because they are believers. They are voting because that is what they are told to vote for. Politicians believe in one thing: Bringing in more money to their political party. It is how they found success, it is how they maintain success.
Voting does nothing when your candidate comes pre-corrupted before you can even vote for them.
Fascism is an ideology that is taking root amongst our aristocracy (which we aren't supposed to have, and yet we do). The aristocracy will pay or threaten anyone who they think is vulnerable to such manipulation. Political party is irrelevant to who is vulnerable. You say it is the Republicans and not the Democrats. You are wrong. It is members of both parties that are vulnerable to manipulation.
The politicians aren't going to back down on this and the age gates have to be placed somewhere.
Fuck you. No. They do not.
Either children are going to be forced into the real world or adults are going to be forced into a child's world.
One is a tragedy, the other doesn't even make sense. I am not certain why this keeps getting brought up except for fascist intentions.
It is up to the parent to protect their children, not everyone else. The only responsibility others have is to not hurt the kid themselves directly. But "you" think it is okay to force me to forgo my interests to provide some environment that isn't really any safer for the children and is a HUGE weapon against Free Speech. Ok.
No, seriously. Fuck you.
Imagine if people understood that you vote people into positions to make these decisions. (Currently people keep voting for people against their own best interests.)
It is absolutely amazing at what a captured political process can achieve... especially when coupled with poor and misleading education.
9/11 was not an inside job.
Correct; however, numerous people knew it was going to happen, even myself, even though it surprised me.
Osama Bin Laden had his training camps in Afghanistan attacked by Bill Clinton with Tomohawk cruise missiles in August of 1998. His (Osama) response was (paraphrased) "I may not be able to to use $5 million dollar cruise missiles to hit you, but I can use your airplanes."
It was published in the open for everyone to read. Portions of the government knew. Portions of the government did nothing to prevent it. The reason it still surprised me was that I was envisioning remote controls and how that could be accomplished. I had no idea you could train intelligent and sane people to perform suicide missions. Live and learn (for some I guess)
Center meeting at 4pm in 2C-543.
