I’m honestly surprised they made 10,000 sales.

AI on its own isn’t a threat, but people (mis)using and misrepresenting AI are. That isn’t a problem unique to AI but there sure are a lot of people doing dumb and bad things with AI right now.

When was the last time you saw a corporation making decisions and taking actions of its own accord, without people?

Maybe they will start to, now, as people delegate their responsibilities to “AI”

People decide who to hire for what roles and who to lay off. People form unions and people bust unions. The shareholders are people, and the decisions made in their interests are made by other people.

You can check the release notes to be sure, but generally you can just perform the update and move on with life. Backing up your data is always a smart precaution.

GitHub is a git hosting provider, but it also has its own service software for all the peripherals - organizations, issues, pull requests, all the user account management stuff, etc. AFAIK those parts are mostly/all proprietary.

“We” haven’t moved anywhere, I just chimed in for the first time with my interpretation of what the other person was talking about. Jeez.

When I fall asleep, the conscious being that I am right now is not going to just never wake up.

But how do you know this? That’s the root of the question.

How would you distinguish “I woke up as the same consciousness” from “I woke up as a new consciousness with an identical memory”, from the first person perspective?

One answer could be that having the exact same memories means you are the exact same consciousness. But this means that your moment-to-moment feeling of “self” is not actually intrinsic to your consciousness, since the memories alone are sufficient.

4z01235 ,

You seem to be missing the point of the philosophical question.

Just because you feel like you are the same conscious doesn’t mean you are, which is what needs proving. We need to demonstrate that we have some way to know we are a different entity without just saying “I know I am”. Is it enough to have the same set of memories? Surely not, as the Star Trek thought experiment implies.

For the record I do have an inner monologue. I just also think that the notion of consciousness and what it means to “be” the conscious process isn’t as simple and clear-cut as you think it is.

4z01235 ,

I don’t accept “I know I am” as any form of proof toward any introspective qualities, whether that is sentience or consciousness or even free will. I also don’t accept “I just know it” as proof of any deity or higher power, or that there is an objective morality embedded in the universe, etc.

I’ll stop responding here, because I think we are just not going to make any progress with each other. Your posit that you can just tell the difference and know it, is fundamentally incompatible with my stance that there must be some method or technique to distinguish what the difference is. I simply do not know that I am the same person today that I was yesterday - I feel that I have good reason to believe that I am, but I also accept that this might simply be an illusion because of the circumstance of having woken up with memories that lead me to that conclusion. I have no way to know that the consciousness that “ended” with sleep last night is really the same one that woke up this morning, outside of the apparent continuity of memory. I find it an interesting and thought-provoking question, but you may also simply decide that you know the answer by feeling.

Generate the binaries during test execution from known (version controlled) inputs, plaintext files and things. Don’t check binaries into source control, especially not intentionally corrupt ones that other maintainers and observers don’t know what they may contain.

That sounds like someone who topped out with highschool level programming tried to implement a hash algorithm.

For example they don’t put the speedometer on the center dash like literally all other cars do.

There are other cars that do this, or did this in recent history. Mini Coopers for example, and some entry-level Toyotas like the Echo.

4z01235 ,

I wasn’t trying to justify it as a good choice. I’d never buy one either. But it is simply not true to say that “literally all other cars” other than Teslas have a common speedometer placement.

You can use it for normal applications that aren’t sort of “system components” like a VPN. So if you want to install some office/productivity software, or a web browser, or a music/video player, then a Flatpak would be a reasonable choice. For most of those cases you would probably still choose the RPM if it is available, but Flatpak is also fine if not.

That’s because YAML syntax is a superset of JSON. Any YAML parser should also accept JSON, not just the one k8s uses.

Wendy’s Vows No Burger ‘Surge Pricing’ After Online Fury (www.thedailybeast.com)

Wendy’s has spoken to its manager after suggestions that it plans to introduce “surge pricing” to its menu received a decidedly frosty response this week, with the company scrambling to clarify that it has no intention of making itself the Uber of fast-food chains.

Lmao, you thought there would be times it would be cheaper than now? Nah. It would baseline where it is now, and become more expensive when people actually want to eat.

Canadians worry US democracy cannot survive Trump's return to White House, poll finds - Reuters (news.yahoo.com)

OTTAWA (Reuters) - About two-thirds of Canadians surveyed this month said American democracy cannot survive another four years of Donald Trump in the White House, and about half said the United States is on the way to becoming an authoritarian state, a poll released on Monday said....

In a scenario where Canada needs a nuclear deterrent against the USA, I don’t think NORAD is really in the picture anymore.

I just went through this exact process (not for the first time) two weeks ago with a bug in the golang standard library. Fun times. Deep in the dependency stack of a container build my team doesn’t own so who knows when I’ll get a fixed version.

I’m sure Google didn’t buy those for the purpose of actually using them, but rather to prevent someone else from registering and using them.

4z01235 ,

Two businesses can trademark the same name if they are operating in different industries. Or, the name could have spaces or punctuation that renders the same as a TLD.

Go Ogle Photographic & Paparazzi Inc. could have a reasonable claim to the same .google TLD. The registration fee is chump change for Google/Alphabet to make sure this can’t happen.

XPS are the exception to the rule of Dell’s quality, really. I guess the Precisions were also half decent, but I never bothered with them - they were ThinkPads but worse for the same price. Everything else is mediocre to bad.

The idea of a emoji is to sound more human, that’s why Ai chat bots use them at the end of their answers, to sound more human and more friendly

This is how you feel about it, but you’re posting in a place full of humans who don’t communicate that way. It’s fine that you like to, but you won’t have much luck appealing to a community by calling their norms less-human and unfriendly.

Why isn't everyone talking about AI generated audiobooks?

I just listened to this AI generated audiobook and if it didn’t say it was AI, I’d have thought it was human-made. It has different voices, dramatization, sound effects… The last I’d heard about this tech was a post saying Stephen Fry’s voice was stolen and replicated by AI. But since then, nothing, even though it’s...

Which leads me to wonder when it will be standard procedure for cameras to digitally sign their footage.

arstechnica.com/…/leicas-9125-camera-automaticall…

The first stills camera that digitally signs its photos is here. Leica is part of a tech consortium developing this as a standard and other major photography brands are also members, so hopefully this catches on and becomes standard, and expands to video.

Depending on how you define a star, you could smush ~13 Jupiters together and make something that is maybe a star. To make a definite star you need ~80 Jupiters. To make it the same size as our Sun you’d need almost 250 Jupiters.
