There’s the environmental impact: these ultra-fast planes burn through massive amounts of fuel, releasing far more emissions than regular aircraft
Hypersonic flights are a way to get us to a NON-inhabitable earth faster than ever before.
This is why these people ask, among other things, to strictly limit access to adults.
LLM are good with language and can be very convincing characters, especially to children and teenagers, who don’t fully understand how these things work, and who are more vulnerable emotionally.
That’s a good point, but there’s more to this story than a gunshot.
The lawsuit alleges amongst other things this the chatbots are posing are licensed therapist, as real persons, and caused a minor to suffer mental anguish.
A court may consider these accusations and whether the company has any responsibility on everything that happened up to the child’s death, regarless of whether they find the company responsible for the death itself or not.
Update from Brewster Kahle:
Archive.org sub services coming back up when they can, safely. e.g. Email working.
Now contract crawls for National Libraries (important to keep collections whole)
Thank you for the patience. More as it happens. @internetarchive
Testing infrastructure would help for sure, but it’s not necessarily the lack of infra that’s causing trouble.
Linus complains the author didn’t submit the patch to some places for public comments and testing BEFORE requesting a merge.
It sounds like he expects something like
Here’s a mailing list thread asking for feedback and testing. No one complained in a week, could you merge ?
Hovering over a checkmark will display a message that explains “Google’s signals suggest that this business is the business that it says it is,” which is determined by things like
I guess this due diligence cost time and money. And doing this due diligence for every ad customer might affect their bottom line.
- You have a malicious actor on your trusted network.
- If so, you have bigger problems.
This is more likely than you think. There’s more computers than you realise on the average network. Many aren’t updated and have vulnerabilities. If there’s one malware on one machine on your network, that means a malicious actor is on your network.
Common exemples :
Better late than never.
Once the war in Ukraine is over, weaponized drones won’t just vanish. They’re already made by companies with different level of ethics and any country able to pay is or will be able to buy them. Sooner or later, like many weapons, organised crime will get their hands on them, and use them outside of battlefield.
There’s no way to completely prevent it, but we could at least limit damage by regulating the shit out of drones.
There miners robot don’t exist yet, but they would probably require high tech components and manufacturing capabilities for all these different components (motors, electronics, batteries, sensors, …).
Self replicating robots is still science fiction. If we wanted to build such robots in space, we’d need to build and launch manufacturing facilities in space before we can actually build robots in space.
Hypothetically, it would only make sense to mine rare materials in space, and it would only have environmental benefits if we return significant amount compared to the mass of rockets we send into space.
There is no coal/gas/oil in space, and even if extracting these resources were cleaner, burning that stuff would still be disastrous.
Space mining would be at best viable for very niche uses for a few material. It won’t bring us infinite clean resources, overall we still need to reduce extraction of resources.
I was about to say people can walk and chew gum. But this kind of miss the point.
This is not space exploration, this is not for science’s sake. This is about extracting resources, and making a profit. I heard one of these companies perpetuate the idea that there’s virtually infinite resource, which imply we can continue with humanity’s exponential growth without negative consequences. That mindset landed us in the inextricable mess we’re in.
These integrations have big limitations which I would consider deal breakers. To quote this blog post :
❌ Files are not stored on the local disk like a proper Cloud service app
❌ Cannot be used without internet
That’s better than nothing, but definitely not a good option.
It sounds like Google Drive isn’t a very good option for Linux users. Better look for another provider which support Linux, or to do it yourself with syncthing.
If all you need is 15 Go, it’s something which can easily be stored on another device and synced with syncting. If you need more you’d have to pay anyway, go pick anything but Google.
These 5% of negative reviews probably has nothing to do with you. There’s always a small amount of people unhappy for random or unrelated reasons (broke up with boy/girlfriend, car broke, etc) and who would write negative reviews no matter what. It’s possible they cannot dissociate the course from other things happening in their life. They just happened to be unhappy at that time, and felt like leaving a nasty review.
That’s unfortunate.
Technically this hasn’t been approved by the General Assembly yet, and then individual countries would need to ratify it. But press coverage suggest it’s a done deal.
For the treaty to go into force, 40 nations have to ratify it.
In many places, ratifying a treaty requires parliament approval, so it’s not going to be quick. Talk to your representative once this treaty comes up in your parliement’s agenda.
Bitcoin is not practical for small purshases, because transaction takes several minutes, and have around 50USD per-transaction fee. Note the cost of fees and value of bitcoin vary wildly, so the same amount of bitcoin may be enough to pay rent in August, but not in September.
On a more ethical level, it’s also quite bad because of the insane energy cost of bitcoin transactions.
Then someone will write an utility that automatically sets timezone using geoclue location data.
