They weren’t the only airline to give pushback against the use of air tags, but they seem to be the only one being accused of attempting an outright ban.

Nobody wants the AI. They mean nobody wants to be auto-opted into AI so that you have to go in and turn it off.

“US Supreme Court declines to hear arguments of whether or not AI can hold copyright on its outputs” is a better/more factual headline.

Are airlines still actively disallowing the use of trackers like these to track luggage? Because they were very unhappy when apple users were using air tags to do this and instituted policy against it.

There are people in the world who think addiction doesn’t exist full stop. That’s part of the reason I used gambling addiction as an example.

You aren’t going to convince people who don’t believe. It’s not worth it to try to remind them because they aren’t going to change their mind unless they experience it in their real lives.

But the problem here is that the aim of this group isn’t to bring awareness of porn addiction, and advocate for the people afflicted with it. The main aim of this group is to further their religion based vendetta against the porn industry. That’s actively harmful to people like you who have an addiction. Specifically because it makes other people take you less seriously.

And yet here you are trying to (at best) hitch your sail about pron addiction to an article and discussion about a group that are actively harming you, who also did a bunch of illegal shit to people who studied the group and released information about it that wasn’t flattering to them

Those illegal actions include doxxing and inciting people to sexually assault one of those researchers.

Maybe read the room.

We put legal caps on who can gamble and where not because it can be addictive but because it can have damaging affects on anyone who uses money because it is a game of chance, at which you can lose, and it requires an adults ability to make decisions about property (where the law doesn’t recognize the property of minors).

Fundamentally what you are arguing is that there are people who have an addiction and you want advocacy for those people, at the cost of the freedoms of other people, because that’s exactly what this co-opted group is trying to achieve. That’s why you receive pushback against your comments.

Addiction is a psychological medical issue. If you have an addiction it’s very likely that you need medical help to deal with that addiction and treat/overcome it. That doesn’t mean that lawfully people who don’t have that addiction should be forced to put themselves in danger to have whatever materials you happen to be addicted to.

It doesn’t say something like that specifically because it isn’t an algorithm that receives x input and spits out Y. It’s an algorithm that receives x query and spits out the most common variant word that comes after “query” . If there isn’t a most common word that makes sense to a human, the AI doesn’t know that and so it still gives the most common word in its training set.

If the query is “Juicy” it may output “melons” . If “melons” were not available in its training set it might output “grapes” or “cherries” , but if those weren’t available it might output “apple bottom jeans” which would have made sense in 2003 but likely wouldn’t make sense to the average kid today who’s never heard of juicy couture.

It doesn’t understand anything. It can’t reason.

I don’t think businesses are going to be getting any CPU’s to make new PC’s during this shortage either. The average budget laptop cost has skyrocketed.

CPU upgrades? What CPU’s? Are the CPU’s in the Microcenter with us, Microsoft? Can you show us on the shelf where the mystical CPU’s are?

Is the shortage a mirage? Our imagination?

Yes, I’m sure we do, but while things like Battleye and Easy Anti-cheat, and so on do work on Linux to an extent, but they don’t really have access to the Linux kernel.

I don’t think that people are demonizing them for attempting to migrate to Linux.

I’m pretty sure (because of my own reaction to this news, as well as the other comments) that it’s to do with people’s dislike of kernel-level anti-cheat and EA’s attempt to bring that to Linux.

I’m still not gonna buy games with anti-cheat, EA.

I use twitch for one thing and it’s literally to help support a friend of mine. He streams as part of his job to make money. You can’t currently do that on other websites and get the same benefit.

I have never liked twitch but I have a pretty valid reason for using it. He wouldn’t reach the audience he does there anywhere else except YouTube who don’t pay much if anything for streaming and take a more significant cut of donations.

People won’t leave because the viable options aren’t giving the same benefits, and it’s not just about the viewers, but also the content creators.

6 probably. Maybe 4.

America hasn’t won a war (or conflict even) since WW2.

He’s a man shaped entity with the brain of a dementia riddled geriatric because that’s exactly what he is. That man has so many health conditions the only reason he’s not dead is they’re fighting over who gets to kill him.

1. This means they had to verify my teenager is a kid. I don’t want it collecting information on my child.
2. This means that they also have verified I’m the parent or legal guardian of said child meaning whether I use Instagram or not they are collecting information on me, and I don’t want that either.
3. The algorithm for Instagram is a major direct contributor to suicidal ideation and this does nothing to fix that.

No thank you. Burn it with fire.

So, whether they store the information or not, the information may not be encrypted while being processed (lots of IoT tech doesn’t encrypt data streams, and some of them don’t even have a firewall between them and the internet).

There’s no good reason for them to need Internet access to sweep or mop your house.

Upping the size of the conductor adds resistance to the circuit. The wiring in those harnesses are like 20-26 gauge. When you’re sending a signal (rather than just supplying power) that extra resistance causes all kinds of problems.

If you’re making a repair with low resistance wiring, it’s pretty much standard practice to solder in a repair wire of the same gauge and conductor type. A butt splice will also add resistance to the circuit.

You can do a lot of things with power feeder wiring that you can’t with low resistance signal wiring.

You mean Xitter doesn’t hand over data without a warrant when it can harm their products?

Slick went from “you and the horse you road in on” to “has seen some *ish” in the span of these photos.

I’m glad Slick is doing okay now.
