I think JD is still likely to be puppeted by a consortium of evil, but he may also be beholden to a smaller subset of evil masters than DT. Not sure if that’s a good thing or not

The problem with evil-but-connected people going to jail is that another similarly evil person may get them out again…

What makes you think it hasn’t?

Clover. Clover is great:

• Lush and green
• Holds down soil we
• Soft to walk on
• Needs less water than grass
• Needs less mowing
• Bees love it

Next they’ll just say he killed the guy with a fookin pencil

Ah yes, because bots absolutely haven’t managed to fake/generate faces now have they…

Work laptop: MS Teams is taking 1.2 gigabytes of fucking RAM just to exist. I’m not in a call. I’m not transferring files. Just the basic interface with chats (which still somehow manages to suck more than chat inferences from decades ago).

The LLM will do whatever they tell it to, including making shit up in order to suit the narrative. They’re the ultimate “yes-man” that’s not even human.

Unfortunately for CEO’s, it turns out that yes-men - or yes-machines - aren’t particularly good developers or legal strategists

Right and who was or again supplying Russia with drones all this time… ah right

Governments wanting to identify and regulate speech under the guise of protecting children

Yeah, seriously. Nvidia is too busy fucking over the consumer PC market to be interested to produce a CPU that’d sell in that same market. My bet is that any CPU they release would be targeted at cloud/AI as well.

Yup, but those are the cases that make the news. There’s always gonna be some stupid/lazy ones

AI in the legal field could be useful for assisting an actual legal professional in compiling precedent based against on-the-books laws, so long as it cites sources and they verify them.

In the medical field, it could be useful for spotting anomalies between multiple images such as X-rays or cross-referencing medical documents WHEN USED BY A PROFESSIONAL.

But the thing is, it should be a tool - carefully used - to enhance the existing profession, not replace actual professionals.

What’s the common way for updating these? I have some similar devices that use Wi-Fi but local stores seem to use some sort of nearby transmitter pointex towards the shelves, maybe infrared/optical

Probably more timed towards certain times and demographics, but yeah it just takes a couple seconds to update and there are plenty of customers running “loyalty points apps”

You won’t open the content, and you’ll have absolutely 0% privacy because all of your processing and data will be on somebody else’s system.

AI will go from making cute GIF’s to fully automated surveillance and ensuring nobody uses those systems for anything not approved by the regime.

Yeah PXE boot has been a thing for decades, and with network speeds going from 10/100, gigabit, and now potentially 5-10gbit it’s pretty viable for home environments. It’s great for common libraries, and mine has an emulator plus a bunch of GoG etc games which I’ve been tinkering to make run nicely.

My preference though is still “thick” clients which use the network for boot and OS/storage, but still have their own CPU and RAM.

Other than storage and networking, the server side requirements aren’t huge. My plan is to make a portable environment which people can patch into and play classic games together.

(If anyone has experience with OpenSpy and getting it to work sans-Internet I’d love to pick your brain, as I really want to get BF2142 and other classics running fully without internet)

Don’t worry, to make it work,he’ll only need to open the firewall to the Internet for dozens of MS subdomains and thousands of IP’s in ranges that can randomly change from day to day. Totally more an issue for systems which might have been segregated from the Internet before!

Yeah ironically one of the reasons I used an Anycubic, because while they may have issues with FOSS compliance, the firmware I did load on there (Rinkhals) isn’t

It’s not like that even try to hide a lot of the shit they do.

Stuff like:

• locking authors into exclusivity contracts with Kindle Unlimited/Audible (monopoly abuse/anticompetitive*
• Advertising items as “on sale” - especially around Prime Day/Black Friday etc after jacking up the price a few weeks in advance
• Items with “free Prime shipping” but the exact same item without Prime is less about the shipping cost
• Stuff like Kindle ebooks shown with a discount price when no other medium exists, it was never sold at the listed “regular price” to begin with, and/or it’s only available from Amazon in the first place
