  • Kind of the conservative way...

    Chemical plant explodes: Cut more regulations on safety

    Abnormally dry and dangerous: Cut fire department

    Repeat teen pregnancies: Less sex education.

    Disease kills millions: Less doctors, less vaccines.

    Sometimes I feel texas thinks there in a scenerio like the episode of parks and rec, when out of desperation to get out of an emergency scenerio drill, they opted to just fail it on purpose as fast as they could. Bird flu is killing millions. OK our priority is save the birds, instruct everyone to perform CPR on any fallen birds.

  • Well yeah it's still at best a cat and mouse game. Really I suppose the biggest red flag a system could detect is most likely sending out multiple DMs on an account with little other activity.

    can't really ballpark but I'm guessing the bot must hit several hundred if not thousands of us in rapid succession on creation (otherwise it would be a lot slower and only a few of us would have seen it).

    That being said, auto detecting the links, contact information etc... would be pretty direct as well, as that would require every banned iteration to also remake whatever methods it tries to phish etc.. as well.

  • Are we becoming the catholic church or some shit...

    Dem's "we ousted a bad democrat for extreme sexual misconduct"

    Voters: "Yay, so... we aren't going to use him again right?"

    Dem's: "Oh no we're going to shuffle him to go against the most corrupt person we can find to run against, that way he can't lose".

    (He can lose).

  • I'm assuming the issue is the new nicole has already been banned by the time you are responding to it, thus there's nothing new to report.

    Far as solutions, only ones I can imagine are I guess to allow instance owners to auto block and ban messages featuring certain words/sentences, and maybe auto delete messages from already banned users, in terms of technical solutions to getting ahead of the whack a mole game.

  • Yeah, I at least assumed that was understood with just "expectancy", obviously people live longer than expectations, and some die unexpectedly young. Key point is if you were given a mission where you must become a baby, and carry on life until you have 6 kids reach the age of 18. But you could chose what time to be born in (but not pick location, class or race), the lowest difficulty mode of that game would almost certainly be after 1950s... and prior to the 1800s would be viewed as very hard mode.

  • The massive lowering of the bar of "good enough to stay alive". Life expectancy was consistantly in the 30s up until the 1870s. Simply having kids was life threatening... doing so while malnourished even more so.

    Natural selection favors traits that increase the odds of having offspring, as well as those that avoid death before having offspring. Avoiding death is a lot easier than it used to be.

  • idiocracy intro?

    (IE the theory it pushed was in short, smart people do family planning, try to wait for everything to be perfect... and forget to get around to having kids).

    Meanwhile on the less intelligent spectrum. Shit I'm pregnant again!!!... Oh and I got the girl in the trailer next door pregnant.

    Or for a real world example... look at Lauren Boebert, the 35 year old grandmother in congress.

  • Kind of some level of any system isn't it? In short if a system has a means to power that can tweak the rules. Inevitably will result in one group ceasing the rules, turning them to raise how much they can tweak them, and ensuring they continue to be tweaked in their favor.

    Communism relies on a possibly impossible starting point. Theoretically if the starting point were reached, it seems the most sustainable. Whether it's possible to reach that starting point is the great mystery.

  • I'm thinking, it's an attempt to be more succesful with nerds like us? I gotta admit I thought it was possibly a real person the first time I saw it, I'm more than desensitized to supermodel looking asian pictures from when I was on dating apps and occasionally reddit. I'm guessing just a non horny, non model, claiming to be studying in STEM is trying to avoid the obvious red flags for people that know supermodels probably aren't into them.

  • Bottom line, winrar isn't the tool to compress video files. In short it's more complex, but zipping, raring etc... those methods are all the ideal way to compress executables, word documents etc... In short, most likely your video files are already compressed as much as they can be without loss of quality. However if you were to attempt to make them smaller, most likely you'd use something like handbrake or some other video codec converter to actually try to shrink them.

  • So... more laws to stop things that aren't happening. Guessing the driver is still that old satire article from like 14 years ago claiming that schools were adding litterboxes to school bathrooms to be more furry inclusive.

  • Knowledge being the key to power, I can't say I'm inherantly against it (though power in and of itself is a risk).

    The problem of course is, generally speaking... all fields run as a business under capitalism, and thus the top of them is generally the person who runs the business side.

    IE I would love for knowledgable doctors to be in charge of healthcare decisions... unfortunately in practice what we get is hospital CEOs, health insurance executives etc... That specialize in how to help extract money from sick people... and not prioritize helping people not get sick, and making sure everyone can be treated if they are.

  • more accurately. you can complain about their method to reach their claimed goal... and about the fact that they aren't reaching it.

    IE their claimed goal is to save the government lots of money. Objectively the government spending less is a good thing. However losing things that the government does that help people, is objectively bad.

    So yes, it's both too much bad, and not enough good, if the dodge cuts, slash jobs, wreck social security, medicaid, medicare. Harm scientific research in medical and other aspects of life. Wreck the US's soft power by killing goodwill programs that help other countries. Wreck projects that help our own people etc....

    and so yes, if we wreck all the projects that help people and save lives... AND barely accomplish any savings in the process. That is an extreme double fail, in which something like DOGE can simultaniously be doing far too little, and far too much at the same time. (because they are making a huge negative impact to the quality of life for millions of americans... and they aren't even close to making a visible scratch in saving money.

  • I mean huge swaths of basically all security in the world would have to be redone depending on how teleportation works. Admitted depending on if we are talking general beaming, pads/portals etc... I mean inherantly security itself is a factor when it comes to just what to do if someone pops into your house when you leave.

  • well depends on your definition. In short it means attempting to make justice without authorization.

    In the case of doing legal research, accessing things that are happening in public, and turning them in to authorities (be it community wise, or law enforcement. I would say very few have any opposition to.

    Where it gets far greyer is when you are doing things that are illegal or imoral in and of themselves without evidence of what you are dealing with.

    IE say you hack someone's computer to discover they have been doing illegal actions etc... In the case of the guilty person most people are good with that... but it begs the question, did you hack a bunch of innocent people, to find that one guilty person. How did you know they were guilty etc...

    and then of course the more absolute extreme ones, when you apply the punishment yourself in spite of that being a crime in and of itself. Say you beat up, kill, kidnap, destroy proporty etc... That's generally frowned upon, except in instances where most people can agree on the horror of the crime, and completely lack any faith in the legal channels to appropriately enforce it even when the evidence is right in front of their faces. IE why fictional superheros like batman are popular (and why making him popular mostly involves the story implying that gotham's police are either incompetent or too corrupt to enforce the law), as well as say in the real world people like Luigi are loved.

  • well yeah I generally don't use AI for much anything, but in this case used it specifically because it's the opinion on something written by OpenAI, which makes it's disapproval coming from openai's algorythm more amusing.

    Plus funnier for them to have to debunk... is it better for them to argue "well our AI sucks, don't take it's word for anything", or admit the obvious "you asked it for a view to the average person and not our profit margains, of course from that perspective our plan is bad".

  • It's possible to assume that the professor did the math.

    But yeah any time machine would also basically have to have space travel built in to compensate.

    They knew that when they wrote Dr Who (IE the time travel machine is called a TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space).
