  • I mean, yeah, so is electricity, aerofoils, and explosives. Old tech.

    I'm not sure what your point is...

  • I mean probably because the scripting languages typically don't provide the lower level utilities necessary to securely wipe files?

    You're not deleting files in a typical sense. You also need to scrub over those files so they cannot be put back together forensically.

  • You don't really need to justify why you want to use Windows in this case.

    You use Windows because you want to, That's reason enough.

    Any further justification just provides points for folks like this to latch on to

  • Ah this point?

    You're own bloody country

  • Supreme Commander!

    Check out the FaF community, keeping it going strong.

  • Yeah, the title calls this out... "Strategic Stamina". Something meant countries just don't have anymore

  • Decline population is an actual thing...? Not defending this asshole or anything but your statement is seemingly based off of a lack of information.

    Birth rates in many developed countries are incredibly low well below maintenance levels. Meaning that aside from immigration the population in most developed countries is actually going down quite rapidly.

    Which given the way our societies and financial systems are structured generally means some form of disaster for those countries if such decline occurs.

    There's even a pretty good recent video talking about what this looks like in South Korea

    Blue indicates below replacement levels:

  • Honestly wouldn't be surprised to see this and to see it publicly traded within the next couple years.

  • You make it sound as if they don't already have a place in the world. Ml models have been employed to solve problems for the greater part of a decade or more now. Deeply integrated into damn near everything that you interact with.

    When you get an MRI or a CAT scan AI helps identify and call out peculiarities.

    The traffic lights and traffic management in your city is probably partially operated using "AI".

    Wear and tear on parts of your car are predicted from data using ml models.

    Industry sensor data is interpreted and made actionable using ml models.

    Telecommunication Network fault prediction and detection.

    Energy load prediction.

    ....etc

    But you're probably talking about is recent hype around llms which are models that are fantastically good at understanding language. Which opens up a whole new field of possibilities when you can combine the ability to understand language with the predictability and reliability of "classic" ML models.

  • Honestly slapping AI onto a bidet might actually make sense 😂

    None of this LLM bullshit I'm talking about more classic ML. You know the stuff that has already been in widespread use in medical, civil, and countless practical fields for the last 10+ years. To great effect.

    A bidet that targets? Hell yeah.

  • It's actually worse than that this person committed no crimes saw no trial has been kidnapped, stripped up their human rights, and sent to another country to be held and used as forced labor for the rest of their life.

    This person literally just got slave traded.

  • Oops

  • We don't even split things. Our money goes into the same accounts. And from that we pay our bills and other expenses.

    We have agreements to not go buying things we don't need, and to not pay for superfluous services. And a softish budget we adhere to.

    Splitting it sounds way too painful.

  • As someone who is both new to trading and who has only had exposure to US index funds. What are some European funds you recommend?

  • it's a bit of a straw man from your side to act like the discussion is about multiplayer

    The top of this thread:

    If a multiplayer-only game turns down official servers, and you can't self-host within the game, they should owe players a separate server binary they can run, or a partial refund for breaking the game. It should not be hard, especially if it's a known constraint when they develop the game.

    Emphasis mine.

  • Privatization doing its best work here...

  • Getting an ID is a barrier to access. Since you have to pay to get that ID and you have to jump through various hoops to prove who you are, and can get stuck in bureaucratic hell.

    And given that the United States has record levels of homelessness, this increasingly disenfranchises a larger and larger population of voters every year.

    Let's not even talk about the current administration weaponizing bureaucracy to deny rights and access to people who they view unfavorably. Which will further disenfranchise voters even if they are capable and have documentation.

  • Except that the entire premise of this is to allow ai unfettered and unrestricted access to the creations of anyone without any repercussions. And allow AI companies to copy and recreate the works of others without attribution.

    Solely to benefit those owners, at the cost of everyone else.

    Also guaranteed that this will be one of those situations where IP laws will be removed for everyone except those who stand benefit from this.

    So overall there is nothing actually good or winning about this.
