Wow that’s a huge variety of utility apps. And most people are used to granting permissions to apps at this point without considering since most have that pop-up.

It’s stealing. Training is theft. It is NOT like “a person looking at art in a museum and gaining inspiration”. AI has no inspiration or creativity. It’s an image autocomplete algorithm using millions of other people’s images as bases to combine and smooth out. That’s all it does. If I took a bunch of Monet paintings and creates some brushes in Photoshop and used it to create a new work, those brushes would still be theft. At best, it’d be a collage art piece I’d have to credit Monet for.

I just noticed something about this scene from R&M: they have solid color wallpaper. Do people actually do that? I think I only ever saw patterned wallpaper. Also the idea you can just grab the paper in the center implies such a degree of hand strength to be silly.

(novice) Why would you get UDP packets multiple times? UDP doesn’t check for acceptance I thought.

You all see ads?

What’s more practical? Redesigning all of US’s cities to work without cars? High-speed cross-country rail? Mass transit in every town?

That’s more practical than passing regulations that allow the few companies even attempting automation to test it? This is just a “if it’s not perfect don’t do it” mentality that stops any attempts at progress.

Autonomous cars are the only viable solution in the near to mid term. Human drivers are awful. Building out mass-transit and transport infrastructure is a generations-long process and very politically unpopular. Autonomous vehicles will have issues that can only be ironed out in live testing. Which sucks but that’s how all innovations go.

Bing is too good,

You mean that they just don’t frontload ads on results?

When I built my PC last year I decided to just let Edge and Bing go for a bit instead of immediately downloading another browser or changing the search engine. I can count on one hand the number of times I needed to enter in Google.com to get a different or better result. And almost every one of those was because I wanted a google maps results and not whatever weird maps MS has.

Corporate death penalty. Revoke their corporate charter. No more company.

Yeah that’s straight fraud. FTC should penalize them for every fsd car sold. And make them liable for each crash when it was enabled.

Is this something that Linus does normally? Or is this a joke that a sponsor will make him do this?

Can you get well paying coding jobs with upward mobility without at least a BA in CS?
