This is why these people ask, among other things, to strictly limit access to adults.
LLM are good with language and can be very convincing characters, especially to children and teenagers, who don't fully understand how these things work, and who are more vulnerable emotionally.
That's a good point, but there's more to this story than a gunshot.
The lawsuit alleges amongst other things this the chatbots are posing are licensed therapist, as real persons, and caused a minor to suffer mental anguish.
A court may consider these accusations and whether the company has any responsibility on everything that happened up to the child's death, regarless of whether they find the company responsible for the death itself or not.
Going to such extreme is probably costing the company on a medium/long term.
It may improve productivity for the first few weeks, but this is bad for employees physical and mental well-being. This is obviously increasing injuries and burnout. Meaning more sick leave, worse employee turnover.
Using the D-Wave Advantage, we successfully factored a 22-bit RSA integer, demonstrating the potential for quantum machines to tackle cryptographic problems
That attack is a threat only if it scale better than existing attacks.
Thanks for the interesting details. Glad to see there's an offline version that disables photogrammetry.
The church in england is a good example where a a generic rectangle building model doesn't work. They could improve the offline version by adding a church model in the set of offline models, and use it for 90% of church in western Europe.
A fully realistic model of every single building may be cool for architects, future historians, city planners, gamers that are sightseeing... but don't help much when learning to pilot. Having a virtual world that look similar to the real one, with buildings of the right size and positions, landmarks, and hero buildings is good enough, and doesn't require that much resources. There are others parts of flight simulators that are more important to work on.
I happen to know a bit about game and simulators. From a plane's point of view, houses dont look unique. A small number of models is enough to fairly represent most houses. There may be a minority of structures that are really unique (stadiums, bridges, landmarks, ...) but the vast majority of buildings aren't unique. Even if two building have different heights, it's possible to reuse textures if they're built from the same material.
MSFT appears to have designed the simulator by considering every building is unique, but if they compared buildings and textures, ideally using automation, they would see there's a massive amount of duplication.
I'm not suggesting putting the whole world on a 120GB disk.
That being said, most of the textures and building geometries used for San Andreas may be reused for other cities in the west coast. Areas between cities that have a lower density could take much less space.
So doubling the physical area covered doesn't necessarily require doubling the amount of data. But the bandwidth usage from MSFT's simulator suggest they are not reusing data when they could be.
Because everything has to fit on the average game PC or console storage, they have some pressure to optimize data size. A simulator that streams everything have less constraints on data size, less motivation to keep size reasonable.
Top speed is 70 km/h but average speed is 28 km/h. That's probably better than buses, but sounds a bit slow. Given the number of stops and turns it's not surprising. In a city center only subways go faster, and they're much more expensive, so a tramway might be a decent compromise.
That's a good point, but this go toward both arguments:
Salvaging so many containers looks unrealistic,
A mandate to salvage lost containers would be an incentive to better secure a handle containers, thus decreasing the number of lost containers.
The incredibly high pressure on the ocean's floor would probable make the air bag solution impractical, just as you said. I'm embarrassed for not thinking about this.
The point is to salvage the container's content, not necessarily the container themselves. I suggested bringing the whole things to the surface using air bag hoping it would simplify the operation.
So here's a plan B: Require buoyancy of containers that contains anythings dangerous for the environment (plastic, oil, batteries, ...).
Nobody will go on a costly underwater expedition [..] to recover some soggy Chinese fast fashion
If there's such a mandate, there would be insurance to cover against such cost. The insurance premium might decrease the amount cheap fast fashion that gets shipped around the world.
The cost might be prohibitive for shipping companies, but that's not a reason NOT to have them cleanup the mess they're creating.
Even if you do, you’d need a lot of trips picking up future landfill fodder with a little robot arm
Most sunken containers — some still sealed, some damaged and open — are never found or recovered.
The Coast Guard has limited powers to compel shipowners to retrieve containers unless they threaten a marine sanctuary [..]
That's BS. Where I live, if someone steal my car and drive it into a lake/river, I'll be help responsible for recovering the car, and in practice my car insurance would do it on my behalf.
The shipping company or the container's owner should have similar responsibilities. The average container is a larger risk to the environment than the average car.
A simple tweak may solve that:
