I suspect they’re jumping on your use of the word “retarded”, since some see using it as an insult as a slur against people with intellectual disabilities. (They also can’t spell “casually” and substituted a word with quite a different meaning, which makes it even tougher to decode what they’re saying.)
Are we sure? Has anyone actually checked to make sure he isn’t a lizardman from inside the hollow Earth, all dressed up in a rubber human suit? I mean, sure, he isn’t an LLM, but there are so many other possibilities!
Confiscate both the gun and the dog, since the dog is obviously being maltreated to the point that trying to shoot its owner seemed like a good idea.
(Only the second half of that is sarcastic.)
the next step is to debate what is AI and what’s not.
Unnecessary, in my view. If you use a tool to produce something, and that something breaks a law, then you are liable, not the tool. Doesn’t matter whether it’s a hammer or an AI. If a human employed by Google had written the incorrect summary on Google’s behalf, then Google would still be liable (the difference is that the human writer might also be individually liable, depending on local law).
Search engines received various kinds of legal immunity in many jurisdictions because they were only presenting information written by third parties outside their control. These summaries are not third-party content, and if they are libelous, the responsibility falls squarely on Google.
…just wait until all your favorite search engines integrate it.
At which point they cease to be your favourites, I hope. There are so many alternatives in that space that only inertia keeps people using the Empire of Evil.
Pale Moon is not a soft fork.
Dunno—are any of them particularly attached to white Persian cats? Or am I misremembering and it was some other Bond villain who had the cat?
Economies of scale have been doing really funky things to chip prices, then. Yet another demonstration that the universe Does Not Make Sense.
The overall hardware package is in the same ballpark as an Arduino (25% less storage, but better processor and RAM), and people put servers on those . . . well, I won’t say “all the time”, but it isn’t an uncommon project, either.
I wonder if anyone’s ever bootstrapped Forth on one of these vapes—given that there are implementations <512b for other arches, it should fit—and then you could program on it directly rather than flashing machine code compiled elsewhere.
(The issue with 10-year-old phones on Google is that Google isn’t designed for low-end hardware anymore. It’s overloaded with scripts, styles, and other things that aren’t necessary for doing its job. Present a ten-year-old phone with a page with no client-side script and restrained styling, and I’d bet it would do fine.)
I wonder what’s needed to include a 10 second on & 30 seconds disabled timer, maybe it’s cheaper
555 timer and a transistor or two, I think?
Nothing wrong with catering to masochists.
If it is, in fact, legal, it’s because there’s a weasel clause in the clickwrap that says, in effect, “We can change this agreement in any way at any time. Not you, just us.”
Haven’t read the book, but I presume that’s why she left.
I would translate that as, “The people who fought harder to get into higher education value it more and actually want to learn, so they’re more likely to do their own work. The ones who are just there because it was kind of expected of them don’t care about learning and would be happy to just get handed the piece of paper.”
Standard procedure would be for the bill to go through several rewrites until the PM decides to do the Cabinet shuffle (the most boring dance in history) and the current Public Safety minister is moved to a different portfolio. Without a champion, the bill will then linger in committee until Parliament is prorogued (or dissolved for an election), which will then kill it. Or at least, that would be the ideal outcome at this point.
For example, Logseq has a fancy text field that can bring up a submenu if you type two left brackets. Something like this is pretty specific to Logseq (or at least certain notes apps) and this would be much harder to replicate in a native app.
Not something I would consider terribly hard to implement, but it would depend on the toolkit. A function for getting the text in a textbox and a callback to alert you to the fact that the user is typing is something I would expect to find in any modern GUI toolkit.
Although, to be fair, there are likely some costumers among Bambu’s customers, since 3D printing cosplay props is definitely a Thing.
Pretty sure you can be charged with something if you do it on purpose and just leave it there. Littering, maybe.
Actually, it would probably be more appropriate for the municipal website to display the location of any vehicles he owns, and what speed they’re travelling at if they’re in motion, at all times. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, and all that. Automated software that watches the page and tickets him every time he exceeds the speed limit is optional, but recommended. Additional intrusive software on his phone that tickets him if he uses it while driving is also optional but recommended.
It’s niche hardware: a smartphone in a flip-phone formfactor (with a headphone jack). Of course they’re not producing them for <$100. Ars Technica costed out other phones in a similar market category ( last paragraph here ) and by that standard it’s middle-priced, or a bit above.
