Maybe you’ll the drug dealer

If it’s an actual human right how come it gets cut off if you don’t pay your bills?

I used to work for a water company in an admin role and one of the things that I learned was we can’t actually cut people’s water off because it’s a safety issue and a human right to have access to water at all times. If people didn’t pay their bills all that really happened was they got threatening letters but nothing ever actually happened to their water supply.

Also cutting off water is a pain because you have to physically send an engineer out to go do it you can’t do it remotely. At least not in 2011 when I last worked there.

Yes I think they would like that

But only in that order.

The fact that it is useful technology though means they’ll always have a fullback. It’s not going to go way like bitcoin I guarantee it.

The blockchain bubble burst because everyone with a brain could see from the start that it wasn’t really a useful technology. AI actually does have some advantages so they won’t go completely bust as long as they don’t go completely mad and start declaring that it can do things it can’t do.

Put a sticker on it. But realistically, I’ve yet to see any products that were made by an AI on the market. So what exactly is this sticker going to go on?

I’ve never understood the supposed problem. Either AI is a gimmick, in which case you don’t need to worry about it. Or it’s real, in which case no one’s going to use it to automate art, don’t worry.

I think they’re from the mirror universe Canada where they drive on the left.

This almost certainly wouldn’t work in the United States but it does in Europe because Europe has loads of these tiny abandoned rail lines (often single track) that were built in the 1800s and then abandoned. They don’t go anywhere particularly densely populated, you know because of the industrial Revolution causing everyone to move to the cities, so there isn’t the demand for a full rail service. Meaning they’re not going to spend the money upgrading the infrastructure to modern standards.

This means they can be used at relatively cheap cost. As long as the tracks are still physically present all they need to do is cut some weeds down and put these things on the line and they’re good to go. It’s a cheap project that a local municipal authority can handle without having to involve wider government.

They explained that one in the article as well.

This is a prototype so it has the mechanism so it doesn’t fall over if the prototype fails. The actual production version won’t have that. It’s also running at low speed for the same reason.

They use one rail so they can pass each other on single line tracks. Which are quite common for rural lines.

If only there was some sort of article you could have read.

I’ve seen one of those in Japan. Even they admit that the only reason they continue to run it is for the novelty factor, it’s apparently quite expensive to keep going and not really that efficient.

It takes a good while to convert between the two modes since you have to be really careful you don’t misalign the thing and result in a derail. So it’s done, very, very, slowly.

Isn’t it better to have a train that runs when you want rather than having to wait potentially hours for the scheduled commuter train. Isn’t this better?

The web is just a fad. We’ll go back to watching VHS tapes any day now

It’s just a problem with the whole copyright laws not being fit for purpose.

After all, all art is theft.

Well of course if you redefine words all of the time then nothing is anything right.

Most of the time they’re either just googling a different skin or Bing in a different skin, which is why they are never any better.

GOG doesn’t really have pirated games or any of that gray market nonsense. It is on the same level as steam in terms of it being a first party seller

They are saying they would like you to buy the game either from them directly (I assume on their website or something) or via steam, or GoG or if all else fails for you then pirate it.

I assume they are stating in order of preference.

Presumably if you buy the game directly from them they get 100% of the cut.

Can we possibly have a better source for this “story”. Because that one’s not reliable.

Although in reality it’s not really a story is it

Americans find it odd that other people have legal protections.

However It gets interesting because under EU law TOS that violate GDPR are not enforceable. So at least EU citizens could probably have some recourse.

I don’t think I ever actually bothered deleting my content because I suspected that they would just do something like that anyway.

Presumably most of the current AI models have already had access to reddit data in the past, so I am a bit confused about why they would pay 60 million for it now.

Hell even the users didn’t exactly contribute good quality content.

Although it’s going to be really good at anime porn too. So there’s that.

Yes, its in the Vaseline cut

On UK keyboards the £ replaces the $ and $ replaces '

Double quotation marks " are in the same place though so a lot of british programmers don’t use single quotation marks because they are hard to press. If your touch typing you have to reach all the way to the bottom right with your right hand little finger and it’s just not worth it.

I don’t keep the subscriptions that’s the point.

The lack of content is really bothering me.

Disney plus is the absolute worst there’s nothing on that platform for like 9 months of the year. Then they’ll have an interesting program (usually Star wars related) you can binge and then nothing for another 9 months.

Gate keeping by calling out BS and anti customer business practices? Interestingly definition of gate keeping you have.

When has any election in Russia been free since 2000 when he took power?

It helps that a lot of people don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.

The way people complain about AI is the same as others complain about immigrants.

AI is both terrible and useless, and also going to take everyone’s jobs.

That seems like one that would go down to the wire. Mark Zuckerberg essentially is responsible for genocide.

Not a boring kid, but a pirate kid sounds fun.

I host in Iceland and they practically pay you to use their service it’s so cheap.

I get what you’re saying but copyright is necessary otherwise nobody would create anything. If you can’t get compensated for your work then why put the effort in?

Hollywood wouldn’t exist without copyright and you might say oh well Hollywood doesn’t produce much good, but it does produce the vast majority of media you probably consume. I’m not saying you’re completely wrong but I don’t think you can just go Copyright = Bad, and leave it at that.

I know that’s treason talk

It’s a false economy buying a Windows laptop for most people, because you absolutely do need to upgrade sooner rather than later.

I think you missed my point.

You want to keep laptops for ages regardless of what OS it was it runs (really not sure how that would have any bearing on spec fall off), but the MacBook M1 is only competitive now, but it won’t be competitive in 4 to 5 years. The chip is good for its power consumption but it isn’t a particularly high performance chip in terms of raw numbers. But the laptop costs as if it is a high performance chip.

There’s no such thing as a Windows laptop you just buy a laptop and that’s the specs you get so not quite sure what you’re comparing the MacBook too.

11 gigabytes of that is probably being used up by Teams, it’s a memory hog.
