My major concern would be someone testing response time...

I've been lightly tracking this in my notes...

Convictions

Welcome to (let's be honest, Republican) policies that cut "in-house" staffing for decades at various federal institutions, instead outsourcing important work to contractors, under funding of important projects, and general "backwards" operation.

I think they already do in a sense; that's the standard deduction. If you want to maximize your returns you might be better off itemizing though, and that option is what makes everything complicated (I suspect they'd have a hard time sending you a bill for everything you itemize... I don't know that they really know everything you could itemize; I think that really only comes up when it's suspicious/you get audited).

i.e., if they did that, you'd basically get fewer options, and maybe less money back(?)

A lot of the time these are either people who entered the country illegally or are runaways. It's not an excuse, but it definitely limits the amount of law enforcement eyes that would otherwise be looking (i.e. a handful of families report missing children vs dozens).

A very pro-communist instance was blocked from interacting with all of Lemmy.world.

What is IAP?

Sure it can, "print hello world in C++"

    
#include 

int main() {
  std::cout << "hello world\n";
  return 0;
}

  

"print d ft just rd go t in C++"

    
#include 

int main() {
  std::cout << "d ft just rd go t\n";
  return 0;
}

  

The latter is a "novel program" it's never seen before, but it's possible because it's seen a pattern of "print X" and the X goes over here. That doesn't mean it understands what it just did, it's just got millions (?) of patterns it's been trained on.

Sure, but these things exists as fancy story tellers. They understand language patterns well enough to write convincing language, but they don't understand what they're saying at all.

The metaphorical human equivalent would be having someone write a song in a foreign language they barely understand. You can get something that sure sounds convincing, sounds good even, but to someone who actually speaks Spanish it's nonsense.

No, safari is based on WebKit (which itself is based on KHTML from KDE). Chrome once upon a time was based on WebKit, but it's now based on a fork called blink.

In any case, this is more of a "will Apple implementation what Google wants implemented?" question. Same with Mozilla being in that list, they use a completely independent engine for Firefox that shares no lineage with Chrome.

No it's a clear case for increasing our education budget 😉

I take it as similar to the "cya next week" comments RE RuneScape (or really any other thing on the internet)... they're kinda half serious half kidding acknowledgements of something's addictiveness. I wouldn't read too much into it.

The point is the "other stuff" coming out of the ground is still very likely pollution.

Here's the problem with these things... Even if it's not a thing right now, are you 100% certain it won't be a thing at some point in the future?

Electronics can very easily contain code, or outright hardware that changes after a set time or when given a signal.

It's the equivalent of having an agent of a foreign dictator and hostile power working as part of your police force. You don't know when it's going to turn, maybe it'll never move against you, but it's loyalties are elsewhere.

The US won't, not until it has enough domestic chip production capacity. It would be an outright war, there would be troops sent, there would not be this game of military aid.

Ukraine is not critical to the US interest, it's important but not critical, Taiwan at the current time would cross a line.

Not to mention empower a hostile foreign power. We shouldn't be sending tons of money to China. We definitely shouldn't be sending tons of money to China so that they can send us technology which they could remotely brick or watch on large swaths of the population.

In a selfish way... I'd like for the UK to do this and for it to go horribly horribly wrong for them. Maybe that would finally get the US reps to get their heads out of their butts so l don't have to keep signing petitions and writing essays about why weakening encryption is a horrible idea.

Tbh, I didn't (embarrassed to say). I'll write my rep and let them know that's silly.

It's 100% a new problem. There's established precedent for things costing different amounts depending on their intended use.

For example, buying a consumer copy of song doesn't give you the right to play that song in a stadium or a restaurant.

Training an entire AI to make potentially an infinite number of derived works from your work is 100% worthy of requiring a special agreement. This even goes beyond simple payment to consent; a climate expert might not want their work in an AI which might severely mischatacterize the conclusions, or might want to require that certain queries are regularly checked by a human, etc

I’m curious - does this kind of report make people less likely to go with an AMD cpu?

For me, nah. This is well within the vein of "normal" problems for a CPU these days (neither AMD nor Intel seem to be able to avoid this sort of thing 100%)... and this particular issue seems to be fixed in hardware already for their Zen 3 chips (Nov 2020-Sept 2022) and Zen 4 chips (Sept 2022 - Present).
