I’m guessing it’s blue because there is a decent amount of sulfur in the water which is forming copper ii sulfate around the leaking joints.

I think you’re spot on about everything else though. Rip this out and replace with new connections.

“Mr. Trump, we’re losing money because Canadian tourism is massively down. What should we do?”

“Let’s make coming to the US even less attractive. That’ll surely help”

LLMs are not peers. It should have no part in the peer review process.

You could make the argument that it’s just a tool that real peer reviewers use to help with the process, but if you do, you cant get mad that authors are shadow-prompting for a better chance it’ll be seen by a human.

Authors already consciously write their papers in ways that are likely to be approved by their peers, (using professional language, good data, and a standard structure) if the conditions for what makes a good paper changes, you can’t blame authors for adjusting to the new norms.

Either ban AI reviews entirely, or let authors try to game the system. You can’t have both.

I mean, there wasn’t an incredibly well documented, active genocide happening 8 years ago.

That has a lot of sway on public opinion.

Number pairs where the 1st and 3rd digit match or where the 2nd and 4th digit match.

Eg: 1315 or 4676

This will rely on having an executive team that can predict trends beyond the next quarter.

Doubling down on advertising, telemetry, and AI in an overly bloated OS looks really good if you only care about the profits that brings for the next 3 months, rather than how much your userbase resents it. MS is fully capable of turning this around immediately by just making LTSC available to the public without needing to buy a MAK through an enterprise channel, but that means throwing away some recurring revenue in favor of claiming a lost userbase

How have I never thought of this?

I want to get some real practice in, but social anxiety is a huge roadblock.

The technology doesn’t concern me that much. It definitely has uses. The thing that concerns me about it is how much money has been sunk into it. It’s basically the root cause of everything wrong with it.

So much venture capital has been pumped into the technology, and with the use cases where it shines alone, there is no way they’ll recoup their investment, let alone make money. So what they’re doing is trying to go all-in on this gamble by creating a ton of hype and putting it in everything to hopefully get back their investment.

They’re spinning up huge datacenters, that are sucking up unprecedented levels of water and power to run these things, and the end result is a tool that is not reliable enough for technical and scientific uses unless the training data is very specific about the topic in question. The generalized models are really only good for taking notes and composing emails.

The other big concern is how they’re trained. The tool sucks up truly staggering amounts of data online with no regard for anything. Privacy, copyright, and server bandwidth are simply not factored in, because the tool would be even less usable than it is now.

This is going to be the next dotcom bubble and things will get worse before they get better, because some rich assholes will need to lose some money. But after that happens, the industry will collapse to a point where things are reasonable again.

I’m not sure this will be an issue.

When a piece of software is checking for chain of trust, it’s done primarily for security or DRM reasons. The benefits of verifying this chain of trust would make it a little harder for cheaters to inject code and it would be an extra hurdle for pirates to overcome, but the cost is that everyone that bought your game with the intent of playing it on Linux now has absolutely no way to make that happen. I’m not sure the loss in ~4% of your sales would be worth the benefit.

I believe that’s just fear-mongering. This has been a thing that Microsoft has wanted to do for a while, largely because having 3rd party code with direct kernel access is a huge problem in terms of stability and security unless you can be sure you know what all that code is doing.

They tried to do this in the past, arguing that anything that wanted kernel-level access had to Windows API calls instead, however Windows Defender which was bundled with the OS was exempt from this restriction. The EU argued that it gave Microsoft a competitive advantage in the AV space and mandated that if they wanted to do this, they had to follow their own rules which MS was not willing to do.

Instead, Microsoft dictated that any code that was going to run in the kernel had to be submitted to Microsoft for review, who would then approve or deny the code for use. The problem with this method is that it’s slow, so any AV that wanted to update their engine had to go through a code review process every time. Crowdstrike (and likely every other AV provider) got around this by having a component of their software with kernel-access that could read in data dynamically. This is what caused that worldwide BSOD problem a couple years back. The Crowdstrike component with kernel access loaded in a bad update that was not properly reviewed and it broke every system with the AV installed.

Overall, this change is a good thing and will force software vendors to actually operate securely rather than just asking for ring 0 access when they don’t need it. As always, if you’re worried about the changes MS is making, Linux is available and getting better day by day.

What if the play field is the whole leg and it’s O’s turn currently?

Edit: Then X wins regardless and I’m a dummy

This is a thing. It’s called Call Screening

Super Mario Bros (1993) is one of my favorite movies of all time.

It’s a bizarre mess of a film, full of counter-culture icons in a weird sci-fi dystopian setting. Despite being objectively awful, there isn’t another movie quite like it, and it’s a fun watch.

It’s a shame that the nightmarish production took such a heavy toll on everyone involved in the project because I’d like to see more screwball adaptations of things

Remember to drink a ton of water to replace everything you’re losing to the throne.

Last thing you want is to feel extra shitty due to dehydration when you’re already recovering

or just any other Islay scotch if you don’t smoke and don’t have an ashtray

There is something especially charming about genuine amateur art.

When you can tell exactly what they intended to depict, but couldn’t quite get there skill-wise adds something to the piece as a whole.

I love when people want to express some idea they had, so much that they’re willing to put themselves out there, even though they know that the final work is not as good as it could be. To say nothing of the separate joy of following an artist and watching their work improve with time.

Basically any sitcom made for TV and not a streaming service.

Honestly, Hackers gets a lot of shit for being ridiculous, but it only deserves it sometimes.

A lot of the actual hacking that is done in that movie is stuff like social engineering and phreaking payphones. It’s exaggerated in the movie to make it watchable, but it’s largely based in reality.

But then you have scenes like this

“I think a lot of the political stuff is keeps us divided. I think we should stay together and help each other out and not fuel into a lot of the political theater and division that they perpetrate in the media,” said Rioux.

It’s a nice thought, but no amount of pleasant thoughts is going to reduce the active hostility of your current government. I likely won’t be entering that country ever again.

The Alberta premier. This concerns provincial politics, not federal.

As far as I can tell, Carney is not an anti-vaxxer
