What the fuck… why would you do that to yourself?! What…?

I'm asking genuinely: is this "AI" or is this "ML," because the latter terms appears more appropriate to me.

Due to this it also means that ripping 4K and Blu-ray discs also are breaking a DRM which means you are legally not allowed to make a digital copy of movies that you own. Which directly contradicts the intent of these laws.

Yes, this has been a long-standing point of stupidity in my mind. It's clearly inconsistent.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me when it comes to legal cases you want as many facts stacked in your favor as possible, and as few facts stacked against your favor as is possible. Because at the end of the day some jury or judge will decide one way or another, based on facts and prejudices.

This seems to be how these things inevitably must go. Pay money to legitimately use a product or view a piece media. 🔜 Oh no, my money is now going toward funding something bad.

Jet rains here, Nintendo with their lawsuits, the entire MPA (formerly known as MPAA).

It was bewildering to me in the moment that when TOTK was leaked that they didn't restrict themselves from working on the emu to handle TOTK. It was some nod and wink "breath of the wild" improvements coming in all of a sudden.

Like... for real? If I were the project lead I would've banned discussion and development about it until after launch. And part of the legal filing from Nintendo is that Yuzu's own telemetry shows that Yuzu devs must be aware of piracy because they can see games being played on the emulator pre-launch. Make of that what you will.

When people perform stunts (stuntmen running around engulfed in flames for movies) the most critical part, aside from extinguishing the flames as soon as is necessary, is making sure those people have oxygen. The fire will consume the oxygen that you would otherwise breathe in.

I read about this and saw the censored version last night. I nearly threw up seeing the uncensored version now. I feel similar to you.

And to all the shitheads on twitter downplaying this as "glorifying mental illness," fuck the lot of them.

I didn't quote the part of the article subheaded Collecting the shreds of his family -- they meant shreds literally. Truly awful.

Extremely upsetting this is a problem in the supposed greatest nation on earth.

Oh, finally! Bipartisan consensus! We love to see it, folks.

"the word bipartisan usually means some larger-than-usual deception is being carried out" george carlin

"Extremely likely" -- says the only entity in control of the price. What are the odds? Who knows! It's extremely likely!

I think we can expect to see a future where a lot of Chinese computing is done on RISC-V. They will not have any need for American technology companies, b/c we don't do the manufacturing anyway. We just have the IP for entrenched technology. Americans were too short-sighted with all that trade war, Nvidia GPUs, and Huawei stuff. Why wouldn't your biggest trading partner take that as a warning sign that they must foster their own tech sector?

Also, when you can truly plan for longer terms than fiscal quarters or, if you're being really ambitious, fiscal years then I don't see how you can't just eventually dominate the sector.

Taking the joke a little too seriously, huh?

The phenomenon you describe is called Jevons paradox. Absent a law to safeguard the increased efficiency, the waste will follow quickly.

Wake me up when "ai" makes the amount of CO2 in the earth's atmosphere trend downward. Generative AI is just a way to burn electricity to take value produced by humans and then replace those same humans, all to line the pockets of the companies that can afford to churn all the data in the world.

For the handful of genuinely cool and interesting things it can do, the number of extremely awful costs and externalities is like 1000x worse.

I stopped posting there the moment they pulled the trigger on the API change. I used to like cruising LinuxQuestions and answering people, too.

OK, but what if every opinion I have about Tibet has been formed by that one Brad Pitt movie where he plays a literal SS officer?

I like to imagine that one arm of the American surveillance state started the exploit and the DOJ wrapped it up only after Fancy Bear noticed exploitable routers. I mean, there wasn't any evidence that this originated from Russia in the article, just the assertion that it was so. Who's checking?

This should be the fate of every single golf course
