This is far from impossible, and happens all the time when, for example, a company spins off a subsidiary, or any number of other situations.

It's hard isn't really a blocker, it's just saying 'this isn't convenient for us', which is why it would have to be forced by legislation.

So we haven't found a cure for cancer because those silly scientists are too busy farting around with unimportant stuff? That's your take away here?

You also have to consider a ( I would argue large ) percentage of those evangelists are simply lying for financial gain. They see profit, or at least reduced costs, and quite simply don't give a shit about customer experience or anything like that.

Yes? That's a very important piece of information, and I hope would be a thing a doctor asks, especially if there are concerns about weight or nutrition.

How is that useless? You adding the warning tells me everything I need to know.

Either you generated it with AI, in which case I can happily skip it, or you _don't know_ if AI was used, in which case you clearly don't care about what you produce, and I can skip it.

The only concern then is people who use AI and don't apply this warning, but given how easy it is to identify AI generated materials you just have to have a good '1-strike' rule and be judicious with the ban hammer.

So given that the output of an LLM is unreliable at best, your plan is to verify that a LLM didn't bullshit you by asking another LLM?

That sounds... counterproductive

Seeing as how this article is talking about the deportation of US citizens, I'm going to question what exactly you mean by "here illegally".

Expanding the argument: I've just decided that you are illegally, and will thus be deported. As there is no due process, my word is law, have fun wherever you end up I literally do not care.

Does that seem fair? And before arguing "well this wouldn't happen, I'm not here illegally", again, this is an article about the deportation of US citizens. Children no less.

Well someone has to shovel in all the coal we need to power those AIs

>Is he (a) legally (b) morally entitled to open fire on them?

Given how these "arrests" seem to be done by plainclothes individuals who don't identify themselves?

Yes. Legally (depending on state) yes, and morally always.

(Arrests in quotations because anyone arrested has rights, something that seems to be skipped over here)

18 USC 793(f) seems to apply here:

"Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing ... through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust ... and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both."

We can only guess about the "prompt reporting of the issue", but from what I've seen and heard I'm willing to put money on the fact that, no, this was not reported.

Gogogo - very popular, and pretty extensive coverage [0]. The only problem is the scooters themselves are so quiet they sneak up behind you on the street.

Conversely, it's far better to have a slightly more verbose section of code that is immediately readable than a super slick one-liner that like two people can parse.

Maintainability is, in my opinion, just as important as other considerations when writing code. And often the more verbose approach is composed of simpler steps, meaning bugs can be easier to spot during code reviews

> Nothing prevents the next president from having a radically different opinion.

Of course, this is only relevant if they are interested in having a 'next' president, something which it seems a segment of society is less than open to.

> There is a reason no country provides it.

While small, Luxembourg is still considered a country. And their public transit is both free, and fantastic

How do they compete for the same role? Nuclear is the definition of base power generation, whereas solar/wind/etc (when backed with massive battery farms) are perfect peaker plants due to their near instantaneous demand response.

I suspect that if you have ever posted copyrightable material online, you will have valid cause to sue them, as they very obviously have incorporated your work for commercial gain. That said, I unfortunately put your chances of winning in court very low.

Obviously looking at it from today's perspective it's (hopefully) unthinkable, but there is a lot written from contemporary sources which make a fairly persuasive argument.

The main concerns were that the Japanese government was simply not in a place where it could surrender, which meant a ground invasion of the Japanese mainland was seen as mandatory. Given the prior experiences of how dedicated Japanese defenders could be (eg Mount Suribachi), it was assumed that any actual attempt to take the Japanese mainland would result in untold deaths, to the point where the US has enough Purple Heart medals created (in anticipation of the casualties am invasion would involve) that they didn't have to restart production until 2008. As horrifying as it is, the first atomic bomb was considered the lesser evil. That said, Nagasaki is much much harder to defend.

Unrelated, but I recommend everyone who can to visit Hiroshima and visit the museums there. Hopefully it will instill in everyone a fervent desire to never again see such horrific things enacted again.

That's pretty much what Microsoft tried with the UAC prompts, and that was fairly universally disliked. Not that I disagree with you, running as admin by default is a terrible practice, but it's a tough sell to the general public

SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol, and is a way to directly address not just individual hardware elements, but to access specific functions or methods within that device via a "simple" addressing scheme. A MIB file describes the various endpoints available on a device, much like a wsdl file would describe a SOAP endpoint.

So you might have an SNMP address like 2.1.4.3.0.1* which the MIB file would translate to "the current temp for CPU1"

The logical decision then is to entrust the preservation to once of the few organizations capable of surviving thousands of years, and forming a religion based on the preservation of works.

Taipei has single use NFC tokens that people can buy, but they are non-disposable. Instead, they are coin shaped, and are deposited in the ticket machine at the end of the trip so they can be re-used.

>AI reduces the need for low skill humans

Except the focus on AI has been replacing _high_ skill jobs like artists, writers, and developers. The end-goal of AI devotees is that humans will dig the ditches, and AI will do all the 'fun stuff'.

It's not a great plan, but they seem really gung-ho about it.

> I don't think we have the correct word for what LLMs do but lie and hallucinations are not really correct.

I believe 'bullshit' is accurate, as in "The chatbot didn't know the answer, so it started bullshitting".

Wootz (and Damascus) steels for example were of much higher quality than what was usually produced in Europe. I can't say if this is what gave European smiths the knowledge they needed to create their own quality steels, or if it was a case of parallel invention, but for a time Asia was producing much better stuff.

Also previous attempts[0] have been bogged down in endless red tape by groups against the creation of such projects.

I don't have any inside knowledge, but I believe it was a mix of wanting to simplify things for users, and to keep users within their system.

I suspect that the rise of imgur as it's own community was seen as a threat, or at least competition, and the question "why are we basically helping our competitors" was asked at least once.

Imgur for example was created by a reddit user specifically for hosting content posted on reddit.

The move to reddit itself hosting content came much later

They are fairly entrenched in their approach, which has been good for individual developers for sure, but has (in my opinion) produced little of actually legitimate societal value.

Another concern is losses. Water can evaporate, can leak, and tends to corrode fittings.

Sand? If some spills just grab a skid loader and stuff it back in.

To be fair, that is at least consistent with Google's past history
