It’s funny, I think Vegas is perfectly fine as the city of sin so things like this really don’t phase me. It was built on the idea of crime and excess.
What does seem weird to me is how in a desert, why isn’t everything solar? The sun is their only natural resource besides sand. Every rooftop and parking lot and flat surface possible seems like it should be a panel.
It also feels like their insistence is doing nothing but hurting them. The average consumer who doesn’t know the difference between a local account and a Microsoft account won’t know or care about MS doing this.
But the users who do have a preference and do want a local account are just going to be irritated at it and give them bad press. They’ll eventually figure out how to make a local account anyway and it may be the push they need to migrate off of Windows.
It really feels like drug users’ demand for drugs that don’t kill them would create a market for artisanal drugs, like with the alcohol industry.
If I had any interest in hard drugs, I would be terrified to use them now. I know we’re dealing with addicts who aren’t making good decisions, but aren’t there wealthy coke fiends? How can anyone snort lines at a party if they don’t know if it has all this lethal shit in it?
Someone answered this for me. It’s just that it’s open source. If that matters to you, there you go.
Ah, gotcha. Makes sense.
Is there anything about Aegis that makes it better than Authy? Just looking at the page for Aegis, I’m not seeing a lot of difference. And it being Android only limits it.
What blows my mind is that the only black councilmember forgave him and basically torpedoed a censure of him.
Would really like to pick his brain to see what he was thinking at that moment considering the guy essentially admitted he was still a member of that white supremist group.
Proving all of it is authentic would be difficult, but I don’t think that is necessary. It isn’t really disputed that reddit is the largest repository of human generated content currently. It was one of the reasons the whole reddit protest thing was even as big as it was, because when the reddit results left Google, searching for real information from people became a lot harder
Not a smart move, right before the IPO.
Really? I think the opposite. He said this in a profoundly stupid way, but what he is saying is that reddit is still the largest collection of human generated content. And not just the sanitized stuff you post on Facebook or LinkedIn, but your actual political opinions, your fears, your hobbies, the totally real secrets you posted to the weekly “What is your darkest secret” AskReddit post, your porn preferences, etc. And that is likely very valuable.
Compassion is definitely needed here the user shouldn’t be blamed.
But it is also true that essentially every smart TV is garbage. Never connect them to the internet or use their built in software. Something like an Apple TV will be faster, provide a better experience and be easier to use than any smart TV. Same with something like the nVidia Shield.
What it was the end of was talentless painters who were just copying what they saw. Painting stopped being for service and started being for art. That is where software development is going.
I think a better way of saying this are people who were just doing it for a job, not because of a lot of talent or passion for painting.
But doing something just because it is a job is what a lot of people have to do to survive. Not everyone can have a profession that they love and have a passion for.
That’s where the problem comes in when it comes to these generative AI.
The people who buy something like this (hopefully) have enough money where $3,500 doesn’t matter or are developers who want to get in early on something that might be big in a few versions.
Everyone else should avoid.
This is nothing new. Buying digital and streaming only versions of media just means you are licensing it. If you care, either break the DRM and reencode, or just pirate it directly.
Do you mean the whole thing or something specific like free commercial use being illegal?
I think the answer to both are the people who created the art, text, etc that these generative AI tools are going to make mostly obsolete.
Imagine both the annoyance and job security having to manage MS-DOS and 3.1 systems for a railroad would entail.
I’m arguing for free commercial use being illegal, absolutely.
And that fee should scale based on who is using it for commercial purposes. Microsoft and Google should be paying far, far out the ass for their data.
I saw other people say that later in the thread. Do we know if that’s why this execution caused pain?
My understanding is that the feeling of suffocation is only due to a build up of CO2. So filling a room (or a mask I guess in this case) should not cause that feeling. Existential dread, fear, etc are obviously not affected, but it shouldn’t feel like they’re being strangled and can’t breathe.
You’re right though, in that obviously doing something inhumane such as killing people can’t be made humane. Its a paradox. And with our system specifically, I don’t think there is a way to do the death penalty “right” because the system isn’t just. Or even effective and logical.
I’d be fine with this argument if these generative tools were only being used by non-profits. But they aren’t.
So I think there has to be some compromise here. Some type of licensing fee should be paid by these generative AI tools.
Thankfully it is easy to not connect them. The newest TV I bought I connected it once via Ethernet during setup to get the latest software, then unplugged it. Has been working fine for a year with no issue.
