As far as I remember, the US interpreted “their end of the deal” differently than NK did.

That’s exactly my point: Trump will “negotiate” the same way, will brag about a “deal” in the same way, and nothing will change in the same way, because both sides aren’t really interested in substantial change in the same way.

But Trump made a deal. The best deal in the history of deals.

I’m sure they will denuclearize in the same way North Korea did after Trump negotiated.

It sadly is, or at least the data protection agencies don’t act against it. They only declared it illegal under the digital services act for big gatekeepers like facebook.

I see no reason why “post right wing propaganda” and "write so you don’t sound like “AI” " should be conflicting goals.

The actual argument why I don’t find such results credible is that the “creator” is trained to sound like humans, so the “detector” has to be trained to find stuff that does not sound like humans. This means, both basically have to solve the same task: Decide if something sounds like a human.

To be able to find the “AI” content, the “detector” would have to be better at deciding what sounds like a human than the “creator”. So for the results to have any kind of accuracy, you’re already banking on the “detector” company having more processing power / better training data / more money than, say, OpenAI or google.

But also, if the “detector” was better at the job, it could be used as a better “creator” itself. Then, how would we distinguish the content it created?

If you could reliably detect “AI” using an “AI” you could also use an “AI” to make posts that the other “AI” couldn’t detect.

any cognitive Task. Not “9 out of the 10 you were able to think of right now”.

Same here, but I did occasionally get a similar full screen reminding me of that fact and urging me to buy a new PC. I installed Mint instead.

People keep saying “Linux is user friendly enough these days for even non techy people” and I’m sorry but it’s totally Not.

I guess people who say that think of the average non techy user as someone like me: I don’t really know how this works under the hood, but I do troubleshoot my own stuff, am willing and able to search for help and apply advice on my own, try different things, and hopefully realize when that advice starts to sound fishy.

The thing is, that’s not the average non-techy user. That’s already “dabbling in tech”.

The average non techy user is Homer going “oh, a talking moose on the Internet wants my credit card number? Sounds fair.”

The same is true for windows though. I have to help my dad with some minor thing at least once a month.

Often, they’ve forgotten the fucking password, if you’ve made it so they don’t have to put a password in when they log in

The second my father asks me about this is when I revoke his computer privileges.

It’s not useless. It will enable MS to build the walled garden they want, where you are forced to use the software they permit you to and nothing else.

That doesn’t mean all fact checks are bullshit, just that fact checkers are people with jobs and opinions too.

Nuclear has never been profitable without massive government subsidies and guarantees, and Google Kairos too will either manage to collect those or lose money.

It’s unclear how Google and Kairos set up the deal — whether the former is providing direct funding or if it just promised to buy the power that the latter generates when its reactors are up and running. Nevertheless, Kairos has already passed several milestones, making it one of the more promising startups in the field of nuclear energy.

I guarantee you, they are shouldering on none of the risk (like the Chinese and French at Hinkley Point), and this startup will be going down.

Nuclear is only competitive if you don’t factor in the negative externalities ( it has that part in common with fossil fuels) and the massive amount of government guarantees and subsidies that go into each and every plant.

Nuclear accidents are not insurable on the free market, that should tell you everything. If they were and owners had to factor in a market based insurance price, that alone would be so astronomically high that no investor would ever touch nuclear.

So governments guarantee to pay for damages in case of nuclear incidents. Governments bear the cost of waste disposal. Governments bear the cost of security (as in military /anti terrorism measures, because these things are awesome targets). Governments pay huge amounts of direct subsidies or take on debt via government owned companies to cap consumer prices. None of this is factored into electricity prices, none of this is factored into most studies.

If small nuclear plants are so impractical, why is Google funding seven of them?

Because, again, google won’t ever have to foot the actual bill. Also, google has a history of investing into things that don’t work out, so I wouldn’t necessarily cite them as an authority.

I keep hearing about micro nuclear reactors

They are not becoming a thing and they are an asinine idea from the start. It’s basically decentralizing something that can only profit from centralization as it requires massive amounts of infrastructure for safety and security reasons in each location.

Nuclear is the most expensive way to make electricity and that will not change anytime soon.

So, basically like a massive UPS with some physical, local energy storage. Here’s hoping these will become practical in the near Future.

They are practical, and they are already being built.

They are not making ads private, they are adding another tracking vector. This will not get rid of the other ones already there.

There is no reason to trust Mozilla more with your data than anybody else.

I think people don’t hate Mozilla, they want them to do better as there are not many options left if you care about privacy. It’d just be nice to not have to pick the lesser evil for once.

The same software purchased digitally doesn’t magically become a “service”. Coincidentally, you can absolutely download and backup all your GOG games and then “own” them the same way you own your old CD ROMs.
