You don't really need to justify why you want to use Windows in this case.

You use Windows because you want to, That's reason enough.

Any further justification just provides points for folks like this to latch on to

Ah this point?

You're own bloody country

Supreme Commander!

Check out the FaF community, keeping it going strong.

Can you store it in commodities instead? Like gold??

Yeah, the title calls this out... "Strategic Stamina". Something meant countries just don't have anymore

Honestly wouldn't be surprised to see this and to see it publicly traded within the next couple years.

You make it sound as if they don't already have a place in the world. Ml models have been employed to solve problems for the greater part of a decade or more now. Deeply integrated into damn near everything that you interact with.

When you get an MRI or a CAT scan AI helps identify and call out peculiarities.

The traffic lights and traffic management in your city is probably partially operated using "AI".

Wear and tear on parts of your car are predicted from data using ml models.

Industry sensor data is interpreted and made actionable using ml models.

Telecommunication Network fault prediction and detection.

Energy load prediction.

....etc

But you're probably talking about is recent hype around llms which are models that are fantastically good at understanding language. Which opens up a whole new field of possibilities when you can combine the ability to understand language with the predictability and reliability of "classic" ML models.

Honestly slapping AI onto a bidet might actually make sense 😂

None of this LLM bullshit I'm talking about more classic ML. You know the stuff that has already been in widespread use in medical, civil, and countless practical fields for the last 10+ years. To great effect.

A bidet that targets? Hell yeah.

We don't even split things. Our money goes into the same accounts. And from that we pay our bills and other expenses.

We have agreements to not go buying things we don't need, and to not pay for superfluous services. And a softish budget we adhere to.

Splitting it sounds way too painful.

As someone who is both new to trading and who has only had exposure to US index funds. What are some European funds you recommend?

it's a bit of a straw man from your side to act like the discussion is about multiplayer

The top of this thread:

If a multiplayer-only game turns down official servers, and you can't self-host within the game, they should owe players a separate server binary they can run, or a partial refund for breaking the game. It should not be hard, especially if it's a known constraint when they develop the game.

Emphasis mine.

Privatization doing its best work here...

Getting an ID is a barrier to access. Since you have to pay to get that ID and you have to jump through various hoops to prove who you are, and can get stuck in bureaucratic hell.

And given that the United States has record levels of homelessness, this increasingly disenfranchises a larger and larger population of voters every year.

Let's not even talk about the current administration weaponizing bureaucracy to deny rights and access to people who they view unfavorably. Which will further disenfranchise voters even if they are capable and have documentation.

Except that the entire premise of this is to allow ai unfettered and unrestricted access to the creations of anyone without any repercussions. And allow AI companies to copy and recreate the works of others without attribution.

Solely to benefit those owners, at the cost of everyone else.

Also guaranteed that this will be one of those situations where IP laws will be removed for everyone except those who stand benefit from this.

So overall there is nothing actually good or winning about this.

You're cool with it until you realize that they only want to do this to personally gain from it. And guaranteed will protect their own IP, and the IP of every large corporation.

It's just that you yourself and small businesses will no longer have the benefit of intellectual property. Megacorps can steal whatever they want with impunity since they are the only true holders of intellectual property.

That sounds good on paper until you look at the long history of these people and how everything they do is entirely focused on their own benefit over that of others. They gain something to win here, guaranteed they aren't going to let themselves lose on anything either.

It's the same sort of situation as AI regulation. Sam Altman and openai want the United States to crack down and make it extremely difficult to develop new models. Why? So that they don't have any competition. They already got their foot in the door they want to close the door for anyone else.

This is very likely the same sort of situation.

... Or both?

Why make a false dichotomy out of it?

No it isn't this is a crazy ignorant comment that just hand waves the problem I presented away because it's not convenient enough for your stance.

If you're going to comment don't comment in bad faith, that's not the kind of discussions we need on lemmy.

The problem begets the solution. And damn near every modern MMO has a significant set of challenges that they have built technological solutions for which drive more complicated infrastructure.

TBF, it's bound to happen.

Guaranteed almost.

Lemmy has minimal controls for protecting against spam and bot spam. It's built to handle the internet 5 to 10 years ago, not the internet today.

I can only hope that this changes because as soon as the platform becomes popular enough (which it is slowly). Then the rate of bot spam and other sorts of spam will just go through the roof, and there's very little that admins can do to combat it without it becoming a full-time job.

About 90 years later, yep. Here we go again...

Same suckers, different century.

It's especially bad when you work in an experienced field where a primary job function is reading comprehension (software engineering). And you have folks who are supposed to be software engineers who can't seem to read or understand documentation. Never mind being able to productively engage in the various forms of debate that come along with any engineering practice.
