Well I guess it’s true that AI tells us what we want to hear…

Also did Duck Duck Go go stupid AI… I thought that literally was the search engine for people who are sick of googles BS.

how about you guys start telling us what you will do. Your selling point was “We aren’t trump”, now your selling point is “we aren’t trump or Zohran”. How about you start trying to sell your message for what you plan to do for the average american.

Unfortunately the biggest part is, there’s kind of 2 definitions of bias at this point.

There’s the older, what I’d consider should be the truer form where bias is about taking a side or leaning the interpretation of the established facts on things that don’t have a 100% perfect consistant answer. IE Sportsball team A is better than sportsball team B, when obviously every part of that equasion is a dynamic, every player has good and bad days. good and bad weather conditions etc… who they’ve played against and how good they are etc…

Same for political concepts where at the very least it’s worth noting there’s no agreed upon by all of political science good and bad with regards to ideas etc…

Then you’ve got the type B bias where… well one side is outright denying the objective facts. Going to the sportsball analogy, that’s like one side says “Team A won 900 to 0 against team B”, while fans of team B go “look the game’s score is right here… team b won 52-20”. and they call you bias for trusting the sportsball leagues official scores, and the game that aired on national television, over the word of team A’s number one fan.

The enigma machine is over 80 years old now. That was just the last machine before modern computing. There were all sorts of other machines and techniques for cryptography long before the modern era. The first forms of encryption are over 3500 years old.

well of course they existed. But I can’t think of an example of a pre-internet era where forms of encryption of a grade high enough to stop law enforcement, and probably all/most government can read them, was easy and accessible enough that your average highschooler would without thinking about it encrypt a grocery list he’s sending to his mom.

So easy a child could use it… or the current secretary of war (with some minor mistakes of adding in reporters into rooms etc…).

Can’t say I’ve seen much discussion on steam boxes, but generally speaking when hearing non techie people talk about phones etc… when people see a less expensive option with marginally comparable features, they tend to conclude the expensive one is just charging more to squeeze the most out of them… unless it’s apple.

I mean, selling codes in a box is such a silly concept to me to begin with. I want to know it’s marked up a bit to deal with the cost of keeping employees, be unable to trade it in or give it to a friend after I’m done playing it and have to wait to download it, but I’d also like to drive and wait in line to get it.

Most of the business models that enable subsidized pricing for consumer products, on the other hand rely on artificially restricting how people can use those products, which is shitty and abusive.

Which they agree with, that’s kind of the point though, unfortunately the customer see’s the PS5 for 600, and the steam machine for 1000+, and assume steam is the one doing something unethical, when the reality is valve is literally selling a PC. that you are allowed to install windows or a different linux distro on… play games from GOG or whatever on etc… which means valve has to make a bit of profit or at least break even in order not to be bankrupted by people buying a bunch of steam machines and no games.

so first the DOW was over 50,000, and now, we’re on DOS.

I mean depends on the solution you are using, but you can have multiple accounts on the remote backup. IE so upon completion of the backup. The remote machine moves the backup to an offline or read only share (depending if you need those credentials to access the data again later),

Obviously most important thing is your credentials that make the backup… should be very limited in scope to just doing those backups.

I don’t think that’s “passive voice”, it’s intentionally choosing a softer word, (though even that may be more of a liability one. Same concept as the media using every word but “children” to describe people killed in Palestine.

Passive voice would be.

“A baby in a car was shot while police were responding to a shoplifting report”.

Or if they wanted to dial it up to 100.

A male black baby was involved in a shooting with police responding to a shoplifting report.

There’s a republican solution for that as well… “lower/eliminate minimum wage so corporations can hire people to do things that are less useful”. Think of it, we can pay people $2 an hour to have them stand in a park and tell people they should eat at mcdonalds, normally the conversion rate is too low, but at $2 an hour, if they can get one person to go every 2 hours, it’s still profitable.

(and yes obviously this is horribly terrifyingly stupid… and honestly not that far from what many horrible politicians have pushed for).

Interesting, but yeah I guess that still counts in the sense that still it’s pushing say, software engineers that lost their jobs to AI, to absolutely have to take a minimum wage job to, possibly afford enough food to survive while getting evicted/foreclosed etc…

No matter how you slice it, it still does put more people… into a rush to get SOME form of employment. even at the cost of their time that they could be using to get… actually livable employment.

Trump and the Republicans want to kill poor people.

Don’t forget, he’s also very stupid, and I honestly believe the narcisist thinks things are going really great right now, he just can’t find a way to get the numbers to agree with him. Sadly, on a purely metric issue this might be a winning play. Unemployment numbers are counted based on how many people are collecting unemployment. Kick people off unemployment = they don’t count as unemployed. In his narcisism he might actually believe that “fake unemployed people are making the job numbers worse”. Secondly jobs numbers themselves. Take away unemployment, people will work shittier jobs that might delay homelessness, or possibly get food when they are homeless.

was thinking the same thing, the human bones fits, but would be being hammered into a live human.

Do you need one though?

I’d bet money we have something like… "OK here’s the deal, You pay us 300 billion. of US taxpayer money, we pay you 5 million dollars personally in under the table money. No binding rules otherwise, but we won’t draw any extra attention to it when you lie about it.

Well actually that’s probably not a great thing to call, I’d say probably about equal to MS on it, but data rights etc… I certainly don’t trust amazon strongly. Honestly though the outages make me very nervous on it, as the US east 1 was more or less reported to have to do with the increase in AI usage, and realistically both azure and AWS are leaning in that direction, which is pretty likely to result in a huge security flaw down the line.

Lazy quick explanation targetted at… well someone who would ask this question.

Basically http is unencrypted, meaning it’s transmitted in plain text. Imagine it like mailing a letter, in a clear plastic envelope. Meaning that should they care to, every single postal worker that the letter passes hands to between the destination and source, could read anything they want, and you’d be none the wiser. Hell they even have enough information that if one was actually malicious they could open your letter, change what you wrote, and no one could tell the difference.

HTTPS, basically does 2 very important things. 1. it basically turns it into a language that only the intended person can read, meaning no one between the source and destination has any potential to read what is being transmitted. 2. it allows both sides to prove who sent everything.

Kind of typical Microsoft, to fail their main service and have to use someone else who’s slightly less bad at the same job, but also equally bad on security user rights etc… Kind of like how their browsers run on chrome now.

In before 2 weeks from now… after rescuing it fails. “Kraken attacks Florida and Texas, trump says it’s Biden’s fault”.

I mean I do have to ask, what’s the main perk of AI drones. IE finding one guy who can sit on a chair and pilot a remote drone, still seems significantly cheaper and more reliable than hope the AI can differentiate a group of school children from a military opperation. (though with the track records I’ve seen of most militaries, probably not much).
