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”

We don’t need to mourn the monster killed by monsters, but we SHOULD remember that even in this short time many innocents have also been killed in the process.

Since when has associating with somebody been a crime?

You can have dinner with your neighbor and not be in trouble when it’s discovered he’s a serial killer. Hell, you can dinner with somebody you know is a mob boss.

It’s when you’re involved in the actual commission of crimes (including covering up crimes, or in various cases but reporting your knowledge of a particular criminal act) that it becomes an “go to jail” type issue.

That also doesn’t justify hanging out with repugnant criminals from a moral perspective, but moral and go-directly-to-jail criminal actions are not the same thing.

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 and TBF I’m pretty sure a lot of “right wing” folks would love to have a pet dino.

But they’d get a Tyrannosaurus to go with their Rottweilers and then tell people “don’t worry, he’s friendly” just before it bites some kid’s head off

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

All my banks have apps but I haven’t found any that don’t support just a browser

Second to worst for that is the excessive use of Google stuff, including Chromebooks replacing PC labs, and a bunch of G-software

Yeah my first thought was that Frame should be ok since my intended use-case was “connected to Steam PC via the wireless transceiver” but then I AI remembered it can run standalone so would also need storage, RAM, and a strong enough processor to handle all that.

Now I’m kinda thinking it would be cool if the Frame was more like an updated Index with wireless, local tracking etc etc and an optional daughter-board - for standalone gameplay functionality - that could be connected later or even allow upgrades.

I haven’t watched STSF yet but yeah there’s ton of stuff in Trek that would quality as “woke” right back to ToS, as well as a bunch of stuff that “broke” from an intellectual level.

I think my biggest issue with Picard is the latter… with the “fireworks in space” celebration (complete with sound of course) just making me want to bury my head in my hands.

It’s never been perfect, but it’s still entertaining.

Frigate with a cheap “AI” accelerator (running visual models) FTW!

Seems more likely they’re business partners in a criminal empire that includes child sex-trafficking, likely using DONT’s “modeling” agencies to move or entrap victims

Isn’t it also transmissible by skin contact and not just sexual contact?
