Trusting any foreign government is silly if it is about something where your and their interests don’t align (or might diverge in the future), trusting any foreign government makes sense if it is about something where you are sure interests will stay aligned for the relevant time period. Governments are not people, you can’t make friends with governments or trust them with matter 10 because matters 1-9 all worked out okay.
If anything what we need right now is a more skeptical look at the past and the future as people are trying to sell us utopian visions of either as the solution to all our problems.
No one is scared to visit an east/southeast asian country.
North Korea might be an exception here.
Essentially they are doing the math equivalent of using big words to sound smart.
That is before Apple levels of profit added on, right? Otherwise that seems a bit low.
If you spend 75% of your time writing code you are in a highly unusual coding position. Most programmers spend a very high percentage of their time understanding the problem domain and on other parts of figuring out requirements and translating them into something resembling some sort of semi-formal understanding of what the program actually needs to do. The low level detailed code writing is very rarely a bottleneck.
That is one expensive AAA battery.
Cooking meals seems like a good first step towards teaching AI programming. After all the recipe analogy is ubiquitous in programming intro courses. /s
Honestly, AI coding assistants (as in the ones working like auto-complete in the code editor) are very close to useless unless maybe you work in one of those languages like Java that are extremely verbose and lack expressiveness. I tried using a few of them for a while but it got to the point where I forgot to turn them on a few times (they do take up too much VRAM to keep running when not in use) and I didn’t even notice any productivity problems from not having them available.
That said, conversational AI can sometimes be quite useful to figure out which library to look at for a given task or how to approach a problem.
FOSS die-hards may not agree, but this kind of threading-the-needle can be done well, and honestly, IMHO. A good example is the content-management framework Directus, which essentially makes it free to use in most cases, unless you make more than $5 million in finances per year, at which point you need to start paying for it. Not purely open source, but it throws FOSS folks a bone by making it so that versions of the software that are more than three years old revert to the General Public License.
This has nothing to do with being a FOSS die-hard. Three year old versions are basically completely useless if you plan to run anything resembling a secure website.
Meanwhile a license that is attached to the amount of income of the legal entity (company, organization,…) instead of the project is never going to be popular because those values can easily change by reorganizations that have very little to do with the actual project.
That must be why you people are suggesting to turn the extremely old German reactors back on that have had limited maintenance under the assumption that they would be turned off for decades now.
Mostly RSS feeds of either the upstream projects directly (e.g. Rust Blog about Rust news, OpenSSL releases about OpenSSL,…), blogs by people I have noticed write interesting things (e.g. Cory Doctorow) or collections of news like This Week in Rust.
Way ahead of them. I just buy stuff from other websites now without Amazon or AI involvement.
I am not talking about CSA, I am talking about video material of CSA. Most countries with marriage ages that low have much more wide-spread bans on videos including sex of any kind.
As for prosecution, yes, it is still illegal if it is not prosecuted. There are many reasons not to prosecute something ranging all the way from resource and other means related concerns to intentionally turning a blind eye and only a small minority of them would lead that country to actively sabotage a major international investigation, especially after the trade-offs are considered (such as loss of international reputation by refusing to cooperate).
So you are saying it is too creative for the average person in marketing?
Which countries do you have in mind where videos of sexual child abuse are legal?
Does it feel odd to anyone else that a platform for something this universally condemned in any jurisdiction can operate for 4 years, with a catchy name clearly thought up by a marketing person, its own payment system and nearly six figure number of videos? I mean even if we assume that some of those 4 years were intentional to allow law enforcement to catch as many perpetrators as possible this feels too similar to fully legal operations in scope.
Yeah, the problem with enshittification is not that it is something that some companies do but that all companies are heavily incentivized to do under a lot of circumstances (enough that circumstances will come up for practically any company regularly).
Agreed. Even human translations are usually crap 99% of the time if they are done as pure surface level translations without having someone who understands the original in depth essentially rewrite it in the target language.
Our age will eventually (assuming our species survives) be known as the age of responsibility diffusion. Companies, bureaucracies, AI, they are all just different mechanisms to achieve the same thing, detach the people from any sense of responsibility for the outcome of their horrible choices.
