  • Agreed. Removed.

  • Hamas has launched an unprecedented strike on Israel. Here’s what you need to know.
  • Bro, you NEED this information. Fucking absorb it.

  • Driverless Cars Are Worse at Spotting Kids and Dark-Skinned People, Study Says
  • I disagree. I'm not at all trying to dismiss the significance of the problem; apologies that I didn't communicate that effectively. The systems absolutely SHOULD get better and be better than us. However, I think that comparing the difference to human perception helps enable us to discover differences in how these systems view and process the world around them and gives us hints at how to improve them. After all, humans also have these problems to some extent, and knowing how much better or worse AI is at it can either help improve safety for human drivers too or maybe highlight systemic issues that need to be addressed outside of the vehicle (e.g., daylighting, improved crosswalk infrastructure, et cetera).

  • Driverless Cars Are Worse at Spotting Kids and Dark-Skinned People, Study Says
  • But the question is, is it a significant difference from human perception?

  • Linus Tech Tips drama gets even worse as a former employee (she/they) comes out with sexual assault and workplace abuse allegations
  • A lot of this is confusing to me. What is MCN and NCIX? Was the plaque purchased from Linus but then withheld? Or did Linus demand the plaque from the kid after not winning it himself? If so, why would he do that when he presumably has one for his own channel? How did Linus get his fans to harass the kid?

  • Linus Tech Tips drama gets even worse as a former employee (she/they) comes out with sexual assault and workplace abuse allegations
  • Sadly, in order to get good engagement on YouTube, you almost have to use insufferable thumbnails. Lots of creators have discussed this and how much they hate doing it.

  • Alec Baldwin: Report casts doubt over Rust actor's account of shooting
  • I'm not sure it's that simple? I don't know the details of this specific case, but are you suggesting that every actor that ever uses a prop gun has to do a test fire? Doesn't the gun need to be reloaded after firing? How would the actor then know that it's safe after the reload? I don't think this is as easy as you make it seem. The process for such things needs to be tighter with strict controls and responsibilities. There are entire teams dedicated to the safe use of these props, and it's not just the actor's responsibility.

  • User spamming the same comment everywhere
  • I don't know why, but I find it amusing that the dude spammed this post about him.

  • “Is Fish Meat?” One Justice’s Answer Shows Why the Supreme Court Is So Broken.
  • I get the need to have a distinction between fish flesh and other meats such as beef, pork, and chicken, but using the same logic as in this article, I've always thought of fish as part of the general "meat" category. It confuses me how Catholics do the "no meat, yes fish" thing. Maybe there's some etymological explanation for why our current-day definition of meat doesn't explicitly have this distinction (assuming it ever did), but if there is, that context seems to have been lost long ago. For some reason, many people now just reflexively believe that fish is not meat -- even non-Catholics.

  • None that I know of, but you can attempt to make one yourself. However, if you do try to integrate directly to Jibe or another existing RCS platform, you will likely be severely limited in scope and performance (hence the road blocks I mentioned). You could circumvent this problem by hosting your own servers.

  • That is quite a leap of logic, but again, I'll reiterate that Google is not the only one pushing and supporting the RCS standard. Many members of the GSMA have a vested interest in RCS and its adoption. Just because Google is the "biggest name" behind that interest doesn't make RCS "Google's standard".

  • Deleted
    *Permanently Deleted*
  • While Google is a major pusher of RCS, the standard is owned by GSMA. The entire standard is also published and freely available. Furthermore, RCS messages are not required to use Google's Jibe platform; other companies are free to use their own. For example, many EU carriers do not use Jibe servers. Not all RCS messages go through Google servers. Technically the standard is even open enough to use individually, but you will realistically run into road blocks setting it up yourself. In any case, please stop regurgitating this nonsense.

  • Dang, and you don't even know that Wikipedia entries appear in Google searches? Wow. I assumed your age would mean you'd at least know how to Google, but you've proven me incorrect! The funny thing is that my comment wasn't even in response to your link; it was because you said you are old as dust.

  • What exactly is the point you are trying to make? Whether the dev gets money via ads or subscriptions doesn't change the "devs having to eat" aspect. How does it become a cash grab when ads become involved?
