Sometimes, the feeling of “how big” a thing is, is extremely attractive. It is easy to fall into a trap of enjoying the bigness so much that it makes absurdly unfounded but attractively dramatic outcomes feel more “correct” than boring but realistic ones.

Keep that in mind when thinking about AI

Whut

I think this doesn’t really make sense for MS as a cost saving measure. It is a signal in order to sell copilot and other snaike oil to other companies hoping to cut costs.

The main risk on company laptops is confidential data on the machine itself or any access the machine has to internal resources, so most locks are designed to be hard agaist that. The device itself tends to have more “bypassable” protection.

By which I mean: If the machine is locked down, it’s usually possible to clear and reset the lock somehow as long as you’re fine losing the data on it.

The specifics vary, but try looking up the model and instructions for resetting and wiping the BIOS/UEFI and see if that has any hurdles.

Are you jealous people who aren;t bothered by those errors?

Resistance to shifting grammar annoys me.

Educated linguists know really well that language changes over time. It is natural and expected. There are also living valid variations of grammar outside standardized “book” grammar.

People who are zero educated just go with whatever.

People who are half educated juuuust enough to be smartasses but not enough to be smart will say shit like “I don’t know, can you?” in response to “Can I go to the bathroom”. Or pretend an emphasized negation - aka double negative - can be interpreted as a positive.

Part of the answer is that the UI is “designed first” and coded to follow the design. If changes are seen as necessary when coding the UI, the design is updated first then the code made to follow.

So any UI behavior will already have a lot of accurate design and animation resources for them to work with.

I hope the word “natural” in rubber doesn’t cause the illusion that it is safe.

Natural rubber is pretty bad if you are allergic to it, and repeated exposure increases risk of developing allergy.

But that’s minor anyway. The process used to create/extract the material and create the product can add toxicants for both rubber and silicone.

Then check for degradability. Anything that degrades develops cracks and pores, i.e. bacteria breeding grounds.

Make sure you pick “food grade” or “cosmetic grade”, and either pick should be perfectly safe.

Take a bag of those pebers and dump them in a bottle of vodka. Let them dissolve overnight. Bring to a party and you will be instant friend of any scandinavian.

That may have been one of the Scandinavian countries. Sorry.

If you have any leftover, plz send.

Edit: Not our fault this time, but thanks for the tip!

Covertly recruiting a person on another team to start a small project that was in direct opposition to a project my team had planned to start on in a few months and aligned with all relevant stakeholders. He …disagreed… with it so his solution was to make this other thing happen and then there would be no room for our project when we were going to start.

Yes, there was liuqid hellfire when we found out. He kept his position as CTO for a few more years. Eventually he pissed off his own boss too many times and got fired very hard.

Let me guess: There are ways for Google’s scraping, search engine, and AI model training to bypass this.

This depends on how big hands you have.

A fully usable system good enough to watch Youtube, do spreadsheets and play Minecraft can be a few inches wide.

So basically what is the smallest keyboard and screen you find usable? There’s likely a laptop around that size.

With that level of indirection gymnastics, you can accuse anyone of anything.

(This comment written in the language of a brutally colonizing and genocidal empire.)

It is a sentiment that separates politics from the people.

I believe/hope it is not a popular term because enough people believe it’s bad for democracy.

Depoliticaztion of the populace is what allows governments like Russia’s to happen.

Desktop computer: Installing a keylogger, for example, is cheap and require skills like “can purchase a cheap and simple technical part” and “can plug in a USB”, which are skills you can assume a CS student will possess.

Laptop: Same, but have to open the laptop and install a less standard straightforward loggrr on the internal cable. This require more effort and patience.

Phone: I have no idea, and I am a computer scientist who spends time thinking about this. I mean, all phones can be opened with corresponding equipment, and the touch screen is connected to the internal computer with a cable, but they differ in details per model and the space to work with is tiny. The research investment is significant and model dependent. Meaning, the effort cost is quite high and they’d need extremely strong motivation.

Fencing: Allow shields.

COME. Out. Of. The. Spaceship.

Jawohl, Herr Kaleun!
