No it sounds like it didn't copy itself to another server, nor does it understand what that means or entails. It just said that's what it would do given the hypothetical scenario. This is likely because of some dystopian fiction it was trained on. The system doesn't have the capability to do these things and any program should never be given that capability whether it's "AI" or not. If any software has that capability then the only one that would benefit from using it would be hackers.

The trend is of homophobes luring homosexual men to be attacked using the app Gr*****r. It's been gaining steam since Trump won the first time and has escalated again after the latest win. In many places it will not be prosecuted unless it gains media attention. And most gay men in those kinda of areas don't want to be out, so don't even report it. So it's becoming more common.

The original versions, but not necessarily the later, more well known versions.

Not sure what your edit means. Looking over your shoulder is how you check your blind spots. So what exactly are you asking about if that's "not under question".

Two ways to process voice, on device or on server. Device-based solutions either are very basic and just detect differences between words or need training data based on your voice or they need lots of processing power for more generalized voice recognition. So is your battery draining and phone is often hot because an app is keeping the mic on and keeping the phone from slowing the processor? Other option is to stream the data to the server. This would also increase battery usage as the phone can't sleep, but might not be as noticeable, but more evident would be your phone using a lot more bandwidth than is reasonable while you aren't actively using it.

May as well bump it to 2029 at this point (in the US anyway). Things sure as heck aren't getting better for anyone who isn't a wealthy fascist for the next 4 years.

I think time travel as a being who perceives one dimensional time linearly is not possible. And for any entity who doesn't perceive time linearly it would be no different from traveling in a spacial dimension. It's just travel. Anything that entity does in that point is a permanent fixture to the entities that perceive it linearly.

So yes, if someone could travel in time in the SciFi sense, they wouldn't be able to change anything in their past experience (direct experience or prior to their perception, but in their event line) because that's already part of that point in spacetime to anyone who experiences it linearly.

But also, it's likely that time is not one-dimensional just like we know space is not only three-dimensional. So it is possible that you could end up in a separate "branch" of time that your past self from your perspective will never experience (directly or as past events), because it's not the same point in spacetime as the event in your direct past timeline. But it's not like there is a specific set of "branches". They likely don't branch off from a single trunk into the other dimension(s) or if they did "branch", it was at the same time as all other "branches", the beginning of the universe, not as specific events occur like in SciFi. And the changes you make in those branches were always part of those branches to people who will perceive the future of that timeline.

I mean, the way you dress isn't really connected to sexuality. It may be somewhat connected to gender presentation (not gender overall, but the way society interprets gender through presentation), but gender and sexual preference are not directly connected either. I dress fairly feminine at times, including exposed bras, fishnets, and dyed hair, but I'm not really interested in men.

To Trump and most of his followers, anyone with a non-Western-European name or isn't Christian is an "immigrant". Doesn't matter if their families have been in the country for a hundred years.

Problem is that there is currently no actual place to put the stuff so it's not localized. If a war broke out or a serious terror campaign, the first thing to be targeted would be the locations of power infrastructure and this waste. Not to mention natural disasters or them just being ignored for too long like global warming has been. In a few decades the amount could easily double or more. There's plenty of it that if it were to reach a major river or other waterway it could spread significantly.

My point is, why risk it when this technology doesn't even produce as much energy as we could produce with renewables with comparatively little risk of pollution? The only reason it looks good on paper is that no company expects to exist long enough to care about the waste, so no money is set aside to deal with it. Just like no money is set aside to deal with climate change. And even if it was set aside to deal with the current waste by pitting it in long term storage. That storage isn't long-term enough to actually keep it until it's safe. Sure it will be safe for a long time, but eventually it will leak and if no one knows it's there or the tech to deal with it isn't there by then, it will spread and if will spread far and wide over the hundreds of thousands of years it has to spread. And sure the US is landlocked and may find a place that the tectonic plates never split the continent. But in a million years it's unlikely that Europe will look the same do it's likely the Atlantic will get contamination and Japan is a volcanic island so it's pretty likely it will leak into the Pacific. I'm saying there's enough in existence already for the majority of the world to get contaminated. And if life hasn't already been wiped out by climate change or war, it likely will face an existential threat from this. So why use it if there are alternatives that are really not that much more expensive to construct? It's only because those are less expensive to maintain and thus less opportunity for extracting profit from those services.

Yep, I've never had a job that allowed me to take off time for a vacation. Only sick days, things I have to do but can only be done during the day during the week, and emergencies. Taking more than that is highly frowned upon and would cause me to lose any opportunity to move up. I take a week off once a year to get the things done that pile up that aren't as urgent. Though this past year I ended up getting really sick that week and didn't even get that opportunity.

What incentivize do they have? The vast majority of their customers have no choice but to be their customers. They just need to keep the companies that companies contract with to set up benefits happy. That's a very small pool and most aren't customers of theirs. And especially with the anti-regulation party coming into power, there's no reason to fear government intervention. But even before that, it wasnt really a threat.

I'm not saying the Fukushima event will have any lasting effect. I'm saying that the type of materials that were released (I.e. nuclear fision waste) are exponentially more dangerous than any naturally occurring radioactive materials. And that is evidenced by the fact that it's detectable with all of the other naturally occurring "background" radiation in the ocean already. The fact that such a tiny bit, watered down by such a huge amount of water and animal life, is still detectable means that if a fraction of the current US stockpile of 90,000+ metric tons of material were to leak into the ground water, it would be unimaginably more problematic.

You're talking about radiation like it's a single thing. Like, oh because these few types of naturally occurring radioactive materials that are composed primarily of low energy alpha particles exists like radium or U-238, that PU-240 or U-235 or any of the other high level waste coming out of reactors, especially if we start up the old reactors to power AI that produce more weapons grade materials than the more modern ones. There's a reason you can't just dig up uranium and build reactors or weapons to use it. It has to be enriched and concentrated.

You really should take a class in basics of radioactivity before considering yourself knowledgeable about the subject. I spent a year studying it in the Navy, and although I didn't really use it practically that much, it's always been an interest, so I've studied it quite a bit. It's not as simple as this is radioactive and not that bad so all radioactivity must not be bad. We're talking tens or hundreds of thousands of times more energetic between some of these things.

They won't have a choice. That's what he meant by ending it in a day. He'll likely agree to allow Russia to use extreme measures on what the US will then officially consider Russian territory without risking retaliation from the US since it will then be Ukraine who is the aggressor on paper if they don't withdraw and stand down. And the if NATO refuses to acknowledge the new agreement it will just give Trump the excuse to withdraw from it like he keeps threatening.

Yeah but only a tiny bit escaped from Fukushima into an ocean that covers a large part of the world and it's still detectable. And there's a big difference in the effects of things around you being irradiated and things you eat and drink being irradiated.

And sure in 10,000 years things will be different, but eliminating the possibility for all large animals to survive in a part of the world for a million years after 10,000 seems like a bad plan. And if humans aren't around or don't remember, it will be a particularly horrible way to die off when the radiation does start to escape and slowly spread out from each of the dumps across the world.

I'm guessing you mean 24,000 and 13,000 gallons rather than just 24 and 13, or are you talking CCF or some other measurement?

Anyway, my partner and I use around 6,000 gallons or about 8 CCF per month on average and a couple of thousand more in summer when I have to water the lawn and flower garden.

24 seems like a lot, but does your meter get read every month? They usually use estimates and then just read the meter once in a while and then correct for it that month, so it's much better to look at averages.

Great solution. Poison the ground in ten thousand years so you don't have to care. You realize there's enough to make the entire world unlivable for nearly a million years, right? And we're still producing. A little tiny amount escaped into an ocean in Japan that covers nearly half the globe and it is still detectable in the US, that watered down. Now imagine hundreds of thousands of metric tons seaping into the soil and water table for hundreds of thousands of years from mines all over the world. You realize the deepest mine we've ever created barely scratches the surface of the Earth, literally, right. We don't have the technology to dig deep enough for it to be safe once the encasing cracks.

I don't get it. Why not just remove divorce from the courts?

One of the primary requirements for my latest project moving a bunch of stuff to self hosted is that if it has a GUI that is going to be internet facing, it either has to support OIDC or it has to be something low risk enough that I feel comfortable setting it up without much security and just setting up a single basic auth login with traefik. A few apps I had trouble finding, but worked most of it out.
