Unionize

Currently, mainly just cooking.

In the future, I’m hoping to leverage it to create video content. I’ve actually been disappointed in its usefulness for writing sci-fi, it tends to want to argue. But based on the surreal images that it can created I am hoping that can be translated into creating 3D scenes that can be used to extract video.

Microsoft and Nvidia are investing but they are both positioned to gain a return on investment by cloud hosting and hardware sales respectively.

Apple dropping out indicates they saw behind the curtain, did the math and realized they can create their own platform for less.

There is no path to profitability for them. Unlike other recent billion dollar tech companies there are no human workers to squeeze. Hardware doesn’t work for less than minimum wattage.

That’s not the incentive you think it is.

Make sure you go deep. Need to get the whole thing to real show you’re serious.

Yes. We must know where they live so we can shit on their country to make ourselves feel better.

'Merica!

Tech papers are not anecdotal.

You will never regret or acknowledge the error.

Enjoy your hill.

Cool. Every tech paper I’ve read has said how terrible their hearing aids are compared to AirPods, so your anecdote is meaningless.

Also, did that hearing aid retail for under $300?

You would rather be indirectly gouged by a no-name brand that creates an inferior one-off product than buy an Apple product.

This is the hill you chose and no amount of government healthcare can save you from it.

Fuck Everything, We’re Doing Five Folds.

Are you suggesting such an app can be purchased outside Google play but not used?

Having an app check a license server isn’t exactly new. Google play is simply a third party license server.

That’s sounds mostly correct.

His relative also admitted their involvement and flipped on him which destroyed the narrow avenue he had to throw out the original evidence for the warrant.

Of course we only ever hear the cases of people who get caught. If he relative hadn’t gotten lazy he may never have been caught.

The lesson there is not to involve other people.

It sounds like he created material, not only AI but actual children then distributed it. The tools to track down the creators of CASM is only getting better.

A single legal image of any of those children posted to social media is going to allow algorithms to make the match and its routine detective work from there.

It only takes one child to talk. No amount of encryption is going to stop that.

I haven’t had a problem.

iPhone with Screen time and communication limits means I can control how much time they spend in the device and in which apps and I control who they can contact.

Don’t approve any apps that allow social features.

Talk to them about the realities of the internet and the wider world.

All of this has to happen at some point. If you just hand off a phone to an 11 year old or even a 14 year old workout doing any of the above, you’re still going to have issues.

Much of what is being said about tech is the same as was said about tv and video games. The only studies you’re going to hear about this are the ones that confirm the societal biases.

If you don’t seek counter opinions of this topic you’re playing into the same fear mongering every generation of parents has had about the new thing.

Dancing, rock and roll, tv, video games, and now phones. Every time, everyone thinks this time is different and every time it hasn’t been.

What’s the test for Linux user’s fantasizes moral superiority?

“Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.”

I hope he spends billions on it only to resell it for millions after the internet moves on.

Google’s death spiral will take a while but it’s clearly circle the drain.

It will likely never completely die the same way IBM never died but it will stop being the desired placed for new graduates.

It would be easier to record than upload. Since upload requires at least a decode steps. Given the fleeting nature of existence how does one confirm the decoding? This also requires we create a simulated brain, which seems more difficult and resource intensive than forming a new biological brain remotely connected to your nervous system inputs.

Recording all inputs in real time and play them back across a blank nervous system will create an active copy. The inputs can be saved so they can be played back later in case of clone failure. As long as the inputs are record until the moment of death, the copy will be you minus the death so you wouldn’t be aware you’re a copy. Attach it to fresh body and off you go.

Failure mode would take your literal lifetime to reform your consciousness but what’s a couple decades to an immortal.

We already have the program to create new brains. It’s in our DNA. A true senior developer knows better than to try and replicate black box code that’s been executing fine. We don’t even understand consciousness enough to pretend we’re going to add new features so why waste the effort creating a parallel system of a black box.

Scheduled reboots of a black box system is common practice. Why pretend we’re capable of skipping steps.

I agree.

One can’t claim to love programming while calling the act of writing code being a code monkey. Whatever they actually love about the process may not exist in the industry.

I would suggest they explore alternative roles and perhaps alternative industries. They sound like they are new to the industry so their ability to land a senior role is likely to lead to different disappointments.

The best way to do something, often isn’t the best way to implement something. That’s why this is a senior role. The author does not appear to understand this concept and will be horribly disappointed when their perfect architecture is ignored by the realities of development.
