ReactOS is windows. Here’s their front page blurb:

“Imagine running your favorite Windows applications and drivers in an open-source environment you can trust. That’s the mission of ReactOS!”

It’s not Linux, specifically. Its not Linux under the hood, it’s written to be windows without microsoft.

Haven’t tried it myself, but its definitely worth a try if you’ve been using Linux that long and its just not for you.

Yeah it’s a stopped payment. Checks or bank accounts.

Nah there’s legitimate reasons to do that. Banks don’t charge the fees that credit card companies do.

Also, you can have your bank refuse payment, anyway.

I do like choices. Especially easy ones.

You do realize that you don’t get time, generally speaking, to delete things, when a government legally demands your info, right?

As soon as any company sees a lawful order demanding information, deleting it becomes a crime.

If this same thing happened to mailbox.org, you heard about it immediately, and hit all the delete buttons you can find, mailbox.org will still hand over your info to them, as they’re legally obligated to do so. It’s not a gdpr violation or anything like that.

A few years ago, blatant journalistic malpractice was a controversy.

Are people so lazy they can’t even bother to read the headline? Maybe an AI would’ve been useful here to generate its own defense.

I think humanizing them is a fairly trivial thing, in this sort of context.

Yes, it’s true, it didn’t “lie” about health.

But it has the same result as someone lying, it’s another bulletpoint in the list of reasons not to trust AI, even if it pulls from the right sources and presents information generally correctly, it may in fact just not present information it could have presented because the sources it learned from have done so in a way that would get those sources deemed “liars”.

Could write that out every time, I suppose, but people will say their dog is trying to trick them when he goes to the bowl 5 minutes after dinner, or goes to their partner for the same, and everyone understands the dog isn’t actually attempting to deceive them, and just wants more.

Same thing, to me at least. It lied, but in a similar way to how my dog lies, not in the way a human can lie.

No, they’re definitely also expanding.

Not all of them, certainly, but there are a few plans for new factories. Samsung, for instance, is rolling out a new chip factory, if you want something to search.

It usually does, but it doesn’t have to.

I agree with the sentiment but not with the advice “commit a felony to avoid maybe getting a felony”. There isn’t a chance you’ll get charged with destroying evidence if they’re already looking at you under a microscope like your hypothetical.

Anyone that concerned needs to just not store sensitive data on their phone, and use a messaging app that doesn’t permanently store messages, either. That way you didn’t erase your phone, AND they find nothing. Attempting to secure your data from the cops while you’re already under the lens with a warrant is far too late.

Another case is if they get a warrant for whatever’s on your phone, you knew, and then erased your phone.

Warrants make more sense, because a warrant can be issued just due to probable cause. They need that cause, but that cause doesn’t have to be directly related to your phone. Once you know they have a warrant to search it, you would qualify as “knowingly” altering or destroying evidence.

Honestly I feel this was always the goal (one of several), but R&D is expensive. Shipping an odd phone that people still buy keeps the shareholders happy while the multi-year research process can eventually produce more usable results.

Single-flip phones were the awkward teenagers, now this phone can be the 18-20 age young adult, fully featured, but needing refinement. Next gen or the one after this will add a lot more robustness.

Thats part of correctness to me, delivering an order that taco bell actually would make is important.

Semantics aside, though, we agree. That’s very important.

They do, my concern is more about if that JSON is correct, not just well-formed.

Also, 18000 waters might be correct JSON, but makes an AI a bad cashier.

Its just an API.

There’s a few ways they could go about it. They could have part of the prompt be something like “when the customer is done taking their order, create a JSON file with the order contents” and set up a dumb register essentially that looks for those files and adds that order like a standard POS would.

They could spell out a tutorial in the prompt, "to order a number 6 meal, type “system.order.meal(6)” calling the same functions that a POS system would, and have that output right to a terminal.

They could have their POS system be open on an internal screen, and have a model that can process images, and have it specify a coordinate pair, to simulate a touch screen, and make it manually enter an order that way as an employee would.

There’s lots of ways to hook up the AI, and it’s not actually that different from hooking up a normal POS system in the first place, although just because one method does allow an AI to interact doesn’t mean it’ll go about it correctly.

I certainly wouldn’t trust him either, but fact is, he told the cops about the drugs he planted.

He could’ve just not done that, or drugged ice cream from a tub at home, or told the kids they’re sprinkles or something.

To be its pretty clear that he didn’t intend to directly harm the kids, and was “just” willing to put them into a stressful situation where an accident could have resulted in harm, anyway.

They mean he set up the drugs to report and create some kind of spectacle, instead of adding them to drug the grandkids.

Intended to drug the ice cream, didn’t intend to let the grandkids consume the ice cream.

They legally cannot.

In fact, in times where the law was followed, the fact that our law gives the president no choice was used to blame the president for things. Headlines would read “president gave money to {something perceived as bad}”, which is technically true, but presidents were just acting on behalf of congress.

It stems from a time of trust, where the executive branch would do the executing of laws, and Congress would pass the laws and give the president a budget.

I miss having branches of government, they’ve all fused together now. We had them separate on purpose. If Obama or any other president had done this, it would’ve been an impeachable offense on its own, the universities wouldn’t have needed to even act.

Nah.

Live images have the image, and free space. Anything you install while they’re on uses that free space, and when you turn them off, they still have an untouched OS partition. The space you used to install things gets wiped, essentially.

But you CAN use that space, Linux works as it normally would, just on a USB. Steam could even download a cloud save and upload after you’ve played, as long as you don’t restart the computer.
