That makes them extremely illegal devices in private rooms. (German law)

Well, I could do that anyway but that’s not what the law is about. The law says, who uses such a device in a private room (restroom, bedroom), goes to jail for several years.

Bull. My home is full of smart sensors, actors and little controllers. None of them needs a microphone so far. I need one only when I want to talk to other humans.

You sound like a real car dealer 😃

Cameras do not make the society free of crime. Cameras do not make any kind of freedom. Cameras just help the powerful people to keep their power.

AI is not doing this all on it's own.

Where there are fake profiles, there are also real human scammers owning them. And they won't have no problem at all with buying enough real human data from somewhere.

So if tinder wanted to do such a thing for serious, they wouldn't choose such a stupid , short-sighted action.

Or maybe read it as: “we need more time to better recognize the good from the bad guys, and make both configurable…”

A living dog isn’t that easy to fool. It is a dead object moving, like a falling broomstick, or any other of the human’s toys.

Dario Amodei [...] said he does not want the company’s A.I. to be used to surveil Americans or in autonomous weapons, saying this could “undermine, rather than defend, democratic values.”

This is absolutely reasonable and I support this position.

Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, said in a memo to employees this week that “we have long believed that A.I. should not be used for mass surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons.”

But I don't trust this guy who shows regularly that he wants to be the ruler of the whole world by means of his own AI.

rather than prioritizing its in-house needs.

I can't help reading this as "AI has cost us this shitload of money"

Once I have sent a very acid e-mail to 'All' = a few thousand people in the company, including all bosses, when I had enough of how badly all our bosses behaved. I had not written anything wrong, so it took them a while :-) and then I got a lengthy reprimand about one or two bad words I had used, and they said these were not officially allowed (of course such a list of disallowed words did not exist at all, but who cares LOL). I decided to leave this mess, but in my time, so I started looking and then quit when I had found a better job.

They write wikipedia articles that you can quote but do not read 😉

Are all women in the south like this?

This was in Georgia.

Obviously not, but it is only Georgia who is like that, and then only as long as you are in her.

Just because you wanted it :) I can't help *not* feeling inside the crowd / the scene, but behind the crowd. I can't decide if I should watch the white haired man or the painting. I don't know either... it is somewhat meaningless...

You have not understood the situation

LOL but why in the world would BYD say such a thing? I think the question is not whether a company can thrive without Usa, but rather whether Us americans can stand such a statement.

IIRC You simply write/change the fstab as in every system. Then you say "systemctl daemon-reload" once, and this (re)creates your .mount files. Then "mount -a" or whatever you need.

These generators make 3 phases, so they don't have that problem

Ohh... these pictures in my head!!

and in German, IIRC, it's "Infomathics"

"Informatik" to be precise

Mosquitos

Would you prefer

Not at all!

I like serious publications very much, and I was also well humored by all these shoutings about revolutions...

They say, the pen is mightier than the sword.

They actually build roads??

No, but as a whole nation.

Would you be satisfied if all your refurb drives live only for the duration of this warranty? I wouldn’t. Especially as a private buyer (or a small business) I would expect that most of them must live much longer than that. But after knowing all what is really going on with this refurb business, you have to expect to actually use the warranty, that is, see drives actually fail within the warranty period and then request replacements by warranty claims. Not as an exception, but for a good part of all that you have bought “refurbished”.

the people currently in charge They don’t even matter, because here it was some expert analyst super hero at work.

trumpeting the message that space operations can make life better on Earth Is anybody here who’s life has been made better by Musk?

The common solution is not to replace the UPS but only the battery inside. They are standard sizes and for a cheap UPS probably around 10 - 20 bucks.

For refurbished drives, the SMART values are reset to “new”.

and OpenAI Thinks It May Kick Off the AGI Era Oh? Finally? Wasn’t it the same with the last one already? And the one before… Why does it remind me of Jehovah’s witnesses and the end of the world?

Not far. Current LLMs have kinda stubbornness. They cling to their own conclusions even after you told them they are wrong. So if you ask them for proof, then most times they come up with something that’s convincing.

Stupidity has no limits

Today it is obvious that most “AI companies” will never be able to pay back all what they owe. And still investors are shoving fresh money into them. My question is, will these bosses ever treated properly as the fraudsters they are? That would be a start IMHO to deal with the problem in a sensible way. But currently it is regarded from a different angle, and that makes it look more complicated.

How can you work in the surveillance business with the name “Langley”? /SCNR

Why the Flock the new meaning of the abbr. WTF 🙂

fairly cheap refurb hard drive seller Rant: As a private person, you should avoid refurbished hard drives like the pest! Imagine buying a used car where the mileage counter has been reset to zero and the vehicle identification number has been tampered with, so that you cannot find out it’s history. You see that it looks shiny and you know that it has been checked (well, somewhat), but you don’t know that checklist. You even know that nobody knows that checklist. Seriously, you can only assume the worst about this used hard drive’s real condition (years of usage, highest temperature, number of bad sectors…), and also about this reseller. Refurbished hard drives can only be bought by data centers (or other mass users), where their failure rate is calculated by statistics, but not by 5 or 20 failed drives.

OK so 5 years is kinda game changer. Around here, I have only ever seen 1 year.

That car does it all wrong! It leans into the curve, even before the turn. Both is wrong. Real cars always lean to the outside (motorcycle drivers say: to the wrong side), and not before turning.

It was obvious and proven already a few years ago: CEOs are the first and most easy ones to replace by AI.

Oh, please… is it still a text generator, or is it already a religion?

Such a rookie! Didn’t he know, in order to pull such stunts with the general public, you have to live in private jets and yachts only.

Pipes in your neck with black liquid…?
