Not just Russia.

Israel, US, China, North Korea, India and other countries… Nuclear Lobby, Fossil Fuel Lobby and countless other industry lobbyists… Private companies advertising their products…

I know that people here generally like to shit on Brave, but it seems that the claim “Privacy by default” has held up in this context.

Using machine learning including neuronal networks, generative AI based off of neuronal networks and so on exist well longer than since the past few years.

“DeepDream” was released as a software ten years ago. Research into LLMs exists since at least the 90s.

“AI” also has been a hype term in many industries since a decade, just that it reached the general public with the ChatGPT hype.

“our crypto is backed in value by bitcoin”

If i understood it correctly, meta wants to slap its own crypto-currency on everything.

Well, the decentralization of Bitcoin only lasted so long. Now it is in the hand of a few large “mining” corporations who can afford the hardware and have access to cheap electricity.

LLMs among other things lack the whole neurotransmitter “live” regulation aspect and plasticity of the brain.

We are nowhere near a close representation of actual brains. LLMs to brains are like a horse carriage compared to modern cars. Yes they have four wheels and they move, and cars also need four wheels and move, but that is far from being close to each other.

And that part is entirely independent from whether the electricity is generated with solar, wind or fossil fuels.

My uncle. Very smart very neuronal. He knows the entire Internet, can you imagine? the entire internet. Like the mails of Crooked Hillary Clinton, that crook. You know what stands in that Mails? my uncle knows. He makes the best code. The most beautiful code. No one has ever seen code like it, but for him, he’s a genius, like i am, i have inherited all his genius genes. It is very easy. He makes the best code. Sometimes he calls me and asks me: you are even smarter than i am. Can you look at my code?

You joke, but western governments regularly pull the “our surveillance is good because we aren’t an authoritarian regime” trope.

Because the company being complicit in serious crimes against humanity and war crimes is a work related issue. You know like your boss demanding you to be an accomplice in a crime is a work related issue and most likely you have signed somewhere that you would report any suspected criminal activity to HR or your higher ups. Problem is if these are part of the crime too.

If we lived in a world where there would be a rule of law thousands of Microsoft Employees would face life imprisonment for being accomplices to serious crimes.

Calling this out is definitely work related.

AFAIK they would remain tied to your old account. The instances copy everything off each other. So if reddthat.com would go down, your comment would still show as [email protected] If you were to make a new account on a different instance it would not have your posts and comments “attached” to it.

This could be an issue if you rely on reputation for something that is tied to your account. In that sense having some mechanism to proof the old account to be owned by you would be good.

You can transfer all your subscriptions and blocks. What you cannot transfer is your imaginary internet points that aren’t summed up by default in lemmy anyways.

Yeah, but Palantir is based on using AI in Saudi Arabia to execute people for being gay. Proof? The computer said so.

And in any other country it boils down to variations of that principle. Justify oppression, discrimination, torture and murder by the “impartial” decision of the computer algorithm fine tuned to make exactly that decision.

I have a question. Everyone keeps speaking of the “tech” sector. Does that only refer to IT or does it cover engineers as well? Because in Europe it seems they keep struggling to get enough people with IT knowledge into engineering projects.

Its 16 years ago and the series continued. Last year my wife got all games and played them because she remembered playing the first one back then.

I don’t think it is “culturally forgotten”. Also as the amount of media increases it becomes more difficult to define a “mainstream” that everyone remembers as defining. This has happened to literary eras like a hundred years ago already. Now with music you dont have just MTV, the local radio station and maybe the one internet forum where all the fans of one genre gravitated to. So it is more difficult to be exposed to other people who didn’t forget

Drought resistance refers to whether the plant can survive droughts. it does not necessarily refer to the plants yielding well under drought. However if the plant is still yielding, it could even become more profitable as other plants stop yielding. The deep roots of the plant help it under drought, as the Soil drys top to bottom. Plants that have deeper roots maintain access to water, while the top is already dried out.

To try a poor metaphor: Someone who is 2m tall but short-sighted will still see better in a crowd than someone who is 1.60m but has the best eyes in the world.

I get that. But the game is “finished”. there is no need for alterations. translating the assembler code into c++ in this way could serve to quickly get it in a format that is then compileable for other platforms.

But do we need this information then? E.g. shouldn’t it be possible to just write what the assembler is doing as a c++ code?

E.g. high level languages also support stuff like bitwise operators and so on.
