- xbarPoor Jepsen.
- The app is unusable. I have a subscription available to me. I try to use it from time to time. The app is unusable.
- I am not sure what your point is. Is it that no CS is valuable or that only certain CS degrees are valuable?
- Fujitsu has never been served justice for Horizon.
- This is a joy.
- Berkeley, for disambiguation.
- Google incentivizes takedown vote abuse. 1. 3 Strikes rules for channels 2. Automatic takedown systems based on votes 3. Incentivizing competing channels with ads 4. No verification/limits/punishment of bogus takedown voters and vote bots 5. Lack of democritized, universal takedowns of equivalent content
Does Microsoft unfairly benefit from Google's takedown tirefire? I do not know.
But if I were designing a voting system for takedowns it would be: 1. 1 non-DMCA takedown vote per user per year 2. No takedown votes for accounts less than 1 year old 3. Takedown all equivalent content when a video is voted down. 4. Verification of DMCA ownership before taking down DMCA-protected content.
- It is not a mandatory feature.
- Microsoft denied a bug for a decade that harmed 100% of users every month in an obvious way.
It is the denial that is so very Microsoft.
- Finite, but sufficiently abundant for any human to be clothed, housed, fed, taught, married, and succeeded by offspring as well-protected as they.
- It is hard to see it as anything else.
- I wish them success. I would like more of my vendors to operate their pricing this clearly.
- Are there any workarounds?
- "The idea that we would evade our legal obligations to the US government as a US company, or in any other country, is categorically wrong,"
I can imagine that this Alphabet General Counsel-approved language could be challenged in court.
- Keep Android open.
- I agree strongly.
I drink things that taste bad. No, not always. But when an option exists that I think might taste bad, I always choose it. Someone has determined that it is a worthy drink and unless I explore their thinking, I will never know whether or not I agree. Once explored, I have some data that I can use to compare with other implementations of such an horrific recipe. At once, I am a connoisseur of this awful thing.
Let me know if you are interested in the worst place to get a bean-paste mojito with a cactus apple sidecar. I still search for the best.
- NBA stopped being an interesting sports entertainment product to me by the year 2004. It has generated a handful of interesting narratives since, but not really enough to keep me engaged in the face of its enshitification.
- Well said. There is a large number of inexpensive, long-batteried, powerful devices with lovely designs, good keyboards and trackpads that Asahi Linux has enabled to run Linux on beautifully.
There are a 1st gen M1 Air wedge and M1 Macbook Pro 14 in my home that belong to other family members. I look forward to running Asahi on them when the users eventually upgrade.
- Not at all.
Superintendent approved a system that they 100% knew would hallucinate guns on students. You assert that if the superintendent required human-in-the-loop before calling the police that the superintendent is absolved from deploying that system on students.
You are wrong. The superintendent is the person who decided to deploy a system that would lead to swatting kids and they knew it before they spent taxpayer dollars on that system.
The superintendent also knew that there is no way a school administrator is going to reliably NOT dial SWAT when the AI hallucinates a gun. No administrator is going to err on the side of "I did not see an actual firearm so everything is great even though the AI warned me that it exists." Human-in-the-loop is completely useless in this scenario. And the superintendent knows that too.
In your lifetime, there will be more dead kids from bad AI/police combinations than <some cause of death we all think is too high>. We are not close to safely betting lives on it, but people will do it immediately anyway.
