Right, do they even have the funding to use n1+1?

Kind of fucked that Iron Mountain has refused to help
- Comment on Ford's affordable EV pickup is named Fathom, and it will start at $28,350 1 week ago:
Can you fathom how much junk you can fix inside the fathoms frunk and trunk?

More incorrect than a text prediction algorithm?

We traded it in for something that will hallucinate a solution.

Tbf, I feel like a large percentage of BMW owners deserve all of this…
- Comment on Open source project fools AI scrapers with poisoned font 2 weeks ago:
I assume a screen reader that used OCR instead of just copying the text would work (for example, being able to read text in images)

But… but… I thought closed source was more secure!
- Comment on Google shuts down its Nobel-prize winning AlphaFold project as it focuses on Gemini 3 weeks ago:
Mind you, theyre killing it in favor of an LLM, which is arguably further biased (you know, the giant “predict the most likely next work” algorithm, which doesn’t predict anything new).
- Comment on AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books 3 weeks ago:
To pay authors a fair compensation for consumption of their book, right?

He could just as easily argue he was forced to give the password under duress and accidentally gave them the wrong password.
As such, its highly improper for them to have tried to take data from his phone without a warrant and try to argue he destroyed evidence when he has not been charged with a crime.
The motion also states that Tunick asked four times to speak with a lawyer and was denied each time.
Also highly illegal.

Fuck all the way off. This man did nothing wrong during this interaction, its police that fucked up.
- Comment on Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds 4 weeks ago:
Except that the tariffs that were placed on Nintendo’s products were ruled unlawful and refunded (to Nintendo).
Imagine that it was found a city tax was calculated incorrectly - you’d expect a restaurant to refund customers, not keep the extra sales tax for themselves.
- Comment on ICE shared Medicaid data it wasn't supposed to have with Palantir 4 weeks ago:
Further proving ICE is a lawless agency and needs to be abolished.
- Comment on Meta used AI to tag workers who took leave to be laid off, lawsuit claims 4 weeks ago:
Given that we have no AI laws, honestly probably not a stupid decision, just very unethical one.
- Comment on Microsoft’s Secure Boot has been broken for a decade and no one noticed until now 5 weeks ago:
Really funny that, the thing Microsoft used to try and
prevent people from using Linuxsecure systems, was broken this entire time due to laziness revolving around ensuring Linux worked via Secure Boot. - Submitted 5 weeks ago to technology@beehaw.org | 5 comments
- Comment on Has there ever been a game whose name was intentionally suffixed with "2" despite no original game? lol 5 weeks ago:
Star Wars became Episode IV in 1980, when its sequel, The Empire Strikes Back, began with the title card “Episode V”. However, the 1977 original did not officially have the “Episode IV: A New Hope” subtitle added to its opening crawl until its theatrical re-release on April 10, 1981.
You could say Star Wars 2 was released as “Star Wars 5” I suppose

- Comment on Steam Machine costs more than I hoped but the price isn’t crazy 1 month ago:
Yea already having a desktop and steam deck not worth it for me (but I wasnt really considering one anyway, Im more interested in the Frame).
But having the option to install SteamOS myself is nice if I did want to have the same experience (with a machine I built myself).
Hopefully we return to sane prices sooner rather than later…

We should shame him into fixing it.
I bet Elon Musk couldn’t fix it! There’s no way he could figure out how to spend a billion dollars fixing it!
- Comment on When it comes to total water use, AI data centers are a drop in the bucket 2 months ago:
This is a shit article, from what’s clear to be a shit author Kyle Orland, Ars’ Senior Gaming Editor.
Yea agreed - though it does make an important point (in perhaps the opposite way it should have been made). Local water use is being impacted greatly - it may not lead to us having no water nationally, but its absolutely leading local communities to struggle to get people water.
