  • I think you mean RTFM. But in this case it's WTFM so I can RTFM.

  • Running through Google translate and reading the article

    An experimental team from Anhui has worked for more than ten hours and is trying to reproduce the results. They updated the latest progress tens of minutes ago. The results will come out in about three days. Perhaps soon, we will be able to witness the gold content of room temperature superconductivity.

    It seems they are in the middle of replicating the results. Not that they have already completed replicated the results.

    The actual article title is:

    The first room-temperature and atmospheric-pressure superconductor has sparked global enthusiasm, and tens of thousands of people are watching the progress of the Chinese team's reappearance

    when I translated it.

  • Well they thought it was okay for the bike lane to be on the highway in the first place. So, yes?

    At least they had the foresight to see putting bike between two lanes of accelerating and decelerating traffic was bad. Now they just need to realize putting bikes next to high speed traffic in what is effectively a gutter is a bad idea.

  • When do I get to say “bad girl” 😶

    My thoughts: Good comment. Plays into sub/bottom play a lot of tranfems are into. Ties into good girl pet play post.

    When you have their consent My thoughts: Good response. Consent is the corner stone of all relationships.

    Also, why do you assume that I am a rapist by default?

    My thoughts: What the hell is this non-sequitur coming from. Why are they so defensive. Have they been creepy in the past and been called a rapist in order to have that be their first response?

  • Also, why do you assume that I am a rapist by default?

    No one did? But you are making a compelling case now.

  • If he had a choice between good option A or bad option B, he would choose good option A.

  • If he had a choice between being smart or being poor, he would choose to be smart.

  • Trademarks are very narrow. From my quick search Microsoft has 'X' marks in relation to Excel and Xbox.

    Meta's trademarks actually has the class, 'Online social networking services,' that will overlap with Twitter's new name.

  • I was about to say. I know Sharknado isn't considered a masterpiece but worst movie ever seems a stretch.

  • That's why STP devices should be available to everyone. Everyone should be able to experience peeing in the French countryside at 7:53 in the morning without having to squat braced against their car.

  • As an AI language model, I must emphasize that AI, in itself, is not inherently capable of ending the world. AI is a tool that operates based on the instructions and algorithms created by human programmers. It lacks its own intentions, motivations, and desires. The actions and consequences of AI are ultimately determined by the ethical considerations and intentions of its creators and users.

    However, there are some hypothetical scenarios in which AI could contribute to global risks if not developed and used responsibly. Here are a few examples:

    1. Military Use: AI-powered autonomous weapons or military systems could lead to unintended consequences and escalation of conflicts if they malfunction, are hacked, or used without appropriate human oversight.
    2. Misaligned Objectives: If AI systems are not correctly aligned with human values and interests, they may act in ways that are harmful to humanity. This could occur due to flaws in their training data, reward functions, or reinforcement learning methods.
    3. Economic Impact: AI's automation capabilities might lead to widespread job displacement, economic inequality, and social unrest if not properly managed and accompanied by adequate policies.
    4. Critical Infrastructure Vulnerabilities: As AI is integrated into essential systems like transportation, healthcare, and energy, vulnerabilities could be exploited by malicious actors to cause significant disruptions.
    5. Superintelligence Risk: Theoretical concerns about superintelligent AI, i.e., an AI system surpassing human intelligence, could potentially lead to unforeseen consequences if it is not carefully designed to prioritize human safety and values.

    To mitigate these risks and ensure AI's responsible development and deployment, it is crucial for policymakers, researchers, and developers to work together on robust ethical guidelines, safety measures, and regulations for AI systems.

    It's worth noting that while AI has its challenges, it also holds the potential to bring significant benefits to society, such as improved healthcare, enhanced scientific discoveries, and more efficient problem-solving capabilities. Responsible development and use of AI can harness its potential for the greater good while minimizing potential risks.

  • Yes

  • You can see on the right of the image there is another progress flag with text on it. I think it's safe to say this image is framed in a way to eliminate the context.

  • I would recommend blocking either this entire community or just me. I have no intention of censoring myself for you.

  • Decades long projects during which time the thought on when you should change the version number and what a version number even is has changed multiple times.

  • Sure, let's go with that.

  • I don't think you have to prove loss sales for trademark disputes. Just a likelihood of confusion. And from the article:

    As part of its marketing for the movie, Lucasfilm authorized Filson to run a cobranded campaign to promote the movie and the clothing company’s products, according to the suit. “Lucasfilm and Filson produced a 60 second commercial prominently featuring video clips from the Indiana Jones 5 film intertwined with video clips of actors using Filson’s own products,” writes Devin McRae, a lawyer for Frost River, in the complaint. “Shockingly, one of the intertwined video clips was one from Indiana Jones 5 featuring Frost River’s Geologist Pack.”

    I think they might actually have a case. Use of one of their bags used in a lookalike competitors marketing campaign without clearly showing that it's theirs is probably infringement.

    Lack of sales might be an argument to be made if we get to damages but I think this will probably be settled out of court for a nondisclosured amount. It'll probably be cheaper for both parties that way.
