If you have kernel access you can already do almost everything so a vulnerability on top of that isn't that bad since no one should have kernel access to your computer

Medical use is absolutely revolutionary. From GP's consultations to reading tests results, radios, AI is already better than humans and will be getting better and better.

Computers are exceptionally good at storing large amount of data, and with ML they are great at taking a lot of input and inferring a result from that. This is essentially diagnosing in a nutshell.

Nice to have authorities being premature instead of late as usual. Plus education require time, so you can't warn people too soon I believe.

There are uses for NFT, but it is clearly not what they are famous for.

NFT aren't pictures of monke, they are a way to authenticate something in a decentralised way, so no trust in another entity needed. The picture isn't the NFT, and that is why you can just right click-copy it.

You can't however just copy the NFT, the actual token. Having a token that's verifiably owned by someone is useful for certain things. It's like a certificate of authenticity, but digital.

It make sense, when you make a decision you make it based on the data you have not the truth. So security theaters are effective as long as people who are thinking about commiting a crime think it is working. And they care about getting caught.

Why do airlines still buy Boeing? New airplanes they make are clearly dangerous, and they don't seem to be able to fix it for the next one, as we are already at the next ones...

I have a VPS that uses 1GB of RAM, it has 6-7 apps running in docker containers which isn't the most ram efficient method of running apps.

A light OS really helps, plus the most used app that uses a lot of RAM actually reduce their consumption if needed, but use more when memory is free, the web browser. On one computer I have chrome running with some hundreds of MB used, instead of the usual GBs because RAM is running out.

So it appears that memory is full,but you can actually have a bit more memory available that is "hidden"

We use nextcloud where I work, it is a smaller company (less than 100 people) but it works just fine.

That is a great quality post! Congratulations and thank you

Your home network is not too shabby either ;)

Slavery is not good for the economy... Think about it, you have a good part of your population that are providing free labour, sure, but they aren't consumers. Consumption is between 50 and 80% of GDP for developed countries, so if you have half your population as slave you loose between 20% and 35% of your GDP (they still have to eat so you don't loose a 100% of their consumption).

That also means less revenue in taxes, more unemployed for non slaves because they have to compete with free labour.

Slaves don't order on Amazon, go on vacation, go to the movies, go to restaurant etc etc That's really bad for the economy.

I'm not sure I see the point, AV will end up being better than humans if they are not already for the cutting edge tech. There is nothing a human does a computer can't do faster. An AV has 360° view and can react in a matter of one millisecond, while being just as precise as if it had all the time in the world to do the maneuver.

Plus, and this is the part I truly don't understand with the quote : a computer can't get drunk, sleepy or get distracted. So by nature it fixes what the quote considers to be the biggest problem of human drivers.

Proof n°1093866 that being rich has nothing to do with being smart.

It's not what free market is though. Which is what capitalists pretend they are for.

That excuse only works for people who have no ideas how programming works. New features can't appear because of a glitch.

The only thing that can indeed happen is the feature was developed and tested, and it was enabled by a glitch. But the feature necessarily was developed intentionally, because things don't just appear like that in a program.

Yes but why stop to the new adults when you can keep your user base? More growth more money.

That is the end of the reflexion for companies.

Does someone know how you could get that as a Screensaver on Ubuntu?

Ozone is also used to disinfect, that's double the disinfection power!!!

Dashy is great : easy to install, easy to configure, and it comes with a lot of integrations with different services, so you can put a lot of things on your dashboard, not just links to your apps.

Anecdotal evidence, but in my group of friends, the only platform where people, me included, post regurlaly is bereal and I suppose it's because it's more like a group chat when you only watch what your friends post. We are older than teens though.

Commercial fusion is not a few years away, and I've never seen the claim apart from deranged individuals on Twitter. If everything goes to plan, commercial fusion won't be here for a few decades.

What the claim may have been is experimental fusion, which does exist right now, we have generated power using fusion, and we even made more power than we put into it recently. It's moving, but it's slow, as planned for the last few decades.

I have the exact opposite problem? I can skip around just fine in shorts, but can't in reels... Is this due to A/B testing or am I dumb?

What theme do you use for your dashboard? It looks really nice!

That looks great, thanks!

Request entity too large does mean that the data you sent is too big for the server to handle.

I don't know if you could split in half your book list and import it in two parts, otherwise there is nothing you can do, except post an issue to their issues tracker, probably github.

I can assure you it happened. A C-level decided who should be let go, of course the list was dumb, they still all got fired and no one who knew anything about who should be let go had anything to say about it.

Because their GDP comes from exporting a very rare and valuable natural resource. This is a rare case in the world, and not the one I was talking about.

Plus who's to say they wouldn't have a better economy if those exploited people could consume more?

I have a poweplant for you to run, it's near a casino it will be great!

Edge is based on chromium, so yes you can say it's just a reskinned chrome, the only other rendering engine now is gecko, which is what is used by Firefox and it's forks.

You can't but some parser allow them. But those that do do not respect the standard.

Which is precisely the reason you shouldn't use an AV apart from the one packaged with Windows

At this point any web service is encrypted because it uses https then. Technivamly true but as everyone is doing it it doesn't mean anything anymore, so the meaning has changed to mean E2E encrypted.

I absolutely agree, but it isn't an issue with automation in itself, but rather the political system that doesn't allow to correct that issue.

Very far from reprogramming though. The general shape of the NN doesn't change, you won't get a NN made to process images to suddenly process code just by training it.

LinkedIn doesn't openly supports nazis though. Plus I only ever see real people that I know, and the rest I don't care about, I'm not on LinkedIn for the posts made by people I don't know.

Those are very specifics examples, with two of the biggest oil producers, and the factory of the world. Thus their whole economies is based on export, so internal consumption isn't important.

Moreover what proof do you have their economies wouldn't be in a better shape if they didn't exploit some population but made them citizen with purchasing power?

Plus knowing how most companies operates, there are all kinds of secrets, API key and others in the repo that needs to be thoroughly removed before releasing to the public.

And isn't the economy much better now than before the industrial revolution?

Microsoft a key player in security ?

There is between 75 and 80% of the French population that disapproves of Macron, the rest will probably all be dead in 10 years. So no, France does not love big brother, the old boomers do, and impose it to everyone else.
