This is pretty standard.

Gotta find a guinea pig somewhere, I mean they already tested real pigs.. now they need to test other pigs. I mean people. Can they implant Elon as a test? Clone him first obviously, they need a backup at least.

I don’t trust anyone enough to ever have a chip on my brain. You never know what they could be doing. Your thoughts could be controlled , just so much that could happen I would never trust it.

what, exactly, about the way our society, systems, and economy is set up says "oh hell yea install a computer in my brain this will have no bad outcomes"

What WOULD you want in your head that’s not already there and wasn’t essential

Go to r/spicypillows Reddit. You probably don’t want a lithium battery in your head!

Apple would just laugh since this will hurt those companies more than it would for Apple.

Paging Sarah and john Connor…

What they really need is people who are actually qualified for the job. Look at all those useless politicians, all they ever do is talk dumb shit on Twitter every day while getting paid big bucks.

I have a feeling it works just fine on other browsers.

Manufactured consent-manufacturing factories?

PS5 still continues to be an amazing deal

Firefox is actually pretty good now, runs way better than Chrome for me

It takes it out of the atmosphere for the short term, but that is still part of the cycle. All organic compounds are part of the cycle. It isn't until it is trapped in rocks that it leaves the cycle.

Creating calcium carbonate is one way to remove it. Geological processes are not very fast though. It would be interesting if we could help speed up that process.

It isn't a popular way to fight climate change,but adding aerosols to the atmosphere would reduce climate change. The aerosols we inadvertantly release actually does reduce climate change now. The problem would be worse if not for it. Adding more internationally is a solution.

Some people say we should not geoengineer the planet. The problem is we already ate doing it unintentionally. It might help if we do it intentionally.

> and you and i can stand at the same spot and take the same photo with the same camera and it will turn out the same.

But both of our photos would still be protected by copyright despite being near identical to each other. Yet the AI image, created by giving it the exact same factors as input, down to film stock and exposure time, lens selection, time of day and weather conditions etc, would not be.

And there would be some differences in our photos, mostly random factors like the exact pattern of clouds, or visible lights on/off at the moment, passing birds in the sky etc.

And that random factor is something to consider, random imagery generated by nature is copyrightable in an image - like a cloud pattern, vegetation or natural landscape - but not if that random imagery is generated by AI.

> you and i can use the sample computer and provide the same prompts and we will get something different for the same prompt.

The more specific information we give the prompt, the more similar the results would be. I bet we could get pretty close by being providing enough information in the prompt, with the minor differences in detail being reasonably considered inconsequential.

I’m trying to be generous here. I don’t know if this is a 5G nano cell, or a 5G hotspot, or a 5G signal repeater. The article provides no specifics other than comprising a software-defined radio and a Raspberry Pi. Considering that all of the above already exist, I’m thoroughly unimpressed.

6 core is standard since 2017 thanks to AMD… 4 more years for a decade. The entry should be 8 cores. Intel messed that up with e-cores

How? Explain.

Or just refuse to because it's a ripoff.

The EU's aim is to unify connectors and reduce waste, not to crack down on accessories sales profits.

It's not malicious, it's just compliant.

It’s phased in over ten years as free allowances in the EU are phased out. So, no. It won’t affect inflation

Great! Can't wait for people's laptops to start professing their undying love to their users. A'la Bing.

At this point, if you're still using Windows I have run out of sympathy for you.

My 75 year old mother uses Pop_OS like a champ.

I can play AAA games via Proton on my Manjaro box.

It's the command line too scary? Too complicated? How many Windows fixes require going into the registry to change some arcane DWORD value? How much sketchy "driver installer" software will the average person download trying to fix a simple problem?

Windows, MacOS, Android, and iOS now have tracking and ads baked into the goddamned OS! Take your privacy back, people! Learn a new operating system. Trust me, nothing ignites as resume like "Linux experience".

The US also has a huge amount of money. Taxes and population scale together.

Spend some and get it done.

C'mon, EU. Bring the hammer down.

This is textbook malicious compliance.

So, if we're not supposed to count any power generation source that's over a generation old, does that mean we can ignore most of the coal and gas power stations too?
