Oh, I’m not trying to talk you out of it, I’m just making sure that you see all sides of the scenario.

I looked at some of the Y2K patches, I don’t strictly know cobol either , but it’s not that hard to read.

You’d think that code lying around would be refined as they had limits on space and everything was so mature. It’s still pretty trashy :)

The problem with using GPT as it is currently, you can ask it the same question 27 tomes and get 18 different answers. One of them a hallucination.

Oh it’s deeper than that, it’s money coming out of our pockets slipping through a third party and going back into the government offers. It’s an extra tax on goods by proxy. He then has a fresh revenue stream without any earmarks on it.

You could most likely find some damn spicy contracts. The real question is, is it worth it?

You’re going to retrofit some old code to fix an upcoming date bug, or try to make some changes wrapped around security vulnerabilities. But these systems we’re relying on, they’re in banks, air traffic control, and in hospitals, we’re not just depending on these boxes but critically depending on these boxes. There’s almost nobody sitting around to give you a second set of eyes on the code, probably almost nobody capable of doing proper QA on the systems you’re working on.

Sounds like greed needs to have some cognitive feedback.

I think it would be really cool to spin up a open source project using conventional programming and one of these light duty models as a teaching device. Do some specific tuning around different subjects, also set up guardrails keeping them boxed into the subject at hand or related topics that have been tested.

With the exception of Girl Scout cookies, I don’t buy anything from anyone that shows up unannounced.

If I didn’t know I needed it until now, I need to do research before I buy into it.

If I did know I needed it and you showed up randomly, I have no reason to expect that you provide any reasonable value with your services.

Door to door sales are as dead as cold calls and email.

that’s just a modified Peltier device :)

Piezo converting pressure or vibration to electricity

hell for all we know, that was part of his concession for putin helping him get elected.

Prepare for Russian Oil Imports.

Rats live like 2 years.

In two years, they learn how to be better to each other than a large part of the human race.

It’s gotta be what, a thermostat, a peristaltic pump and a heater/heat exchanger? Replace the brains with an arduino or a pi and a couple of relays.

requires less development time

Here, step into this 200GB repo with about 50 third party plugins and someone else’s game engine and find all the states that aren’t exactly like they are on the design docs, and do it at scale, across a cluster of servers that all have to interact.

20 years ago, i’d be right there with you.

It’s actually hard for a big game to do those things. The people making the cheats are as good as the developers and only need to find one nick it the armor every time.

FWIW, I’m against kernel-level anticheat, and I didn’t downvote you :)

I see this as more of a quadrant chart

Damn, Wonder if the us is going to be there in a decade… Really nice read.

Let’s see, he could not impose tarrifs and make everyone happy that he’s not going to burn down the economy OR he could impose tariffs, shut down taxes on the ultra-wealthy and embezzel/stock trade his ass back to billionaire with cash on hand.

he DGAF what anyone wants unless they’re going to make him significantly richer.

Now I want to take an eight sleep apart and see if I can lobotomize it…

Hypocrisy and corruption are easy to breed from that, true. But the NT is also get a nice set of useful tools from it as well, like choosing their battles, and not painting people into corners.

How those tools are used are basically down to core morality and how you want to apply it to your subordinates, co-workers, and management.

I suspect I’m not fully ante and a lot of those lessons were difficult to figure out.

It’s not like they’re going to change their hiring practices, as long as they can pay minorities and women less money they’ll continue to hire them.

We’re still losing, but not The way the article frames it.

You know, I get it. Right now any opposition to our God King is likely to end you up on a list for retribution.

Those authoritarian screws are going to turn pretty quickly.

But most the news media is just a mouthpiece for the right or the left there’s very little fair and balanced reporting these days. Here is good off getting your news from Reddit, Lemmy, or TikTok as you are from getting it from anywhere else.
