"computer culpability" That idea is really weird. Culpa (and dolus) in occidental law is a thing of the mind, what you understood or should have understood. A database does not have a mind, and it is not a person. If it could have

Legally, in a lot of jurisdictions, a dog is just your property. What it does, you did, usually with presumed intent or strict liability.

If they'll publish it through Copernicus, it'll probably show up here: https://browser.dataspace.copernicus.eu/

The author put some text in base64 in the URL:s, perhaps the original had information encoded in such a way that might leak something interesting. "Not the real HSBC", and "Also not real HSBC" respectively.

"All major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave) have native Linux builds. Full support. No compromises." This is kind of true. It depends on whether you're doing Serious Stuff on MICROS~1 365 and probably other similar ser

COINTELPRO included assassinations. They kind of didn't stop there either. https://web.archive.org/web/20170201130225/http://www.nytime...

What "narrative"? You made a claim about "desperate appeasement", and if that was true, I imagine that iranian politicians and twelver clergy would brag about it incessantly.

By before, what do you mean? COINTELPRO?

by cess11 9mo ago
That'd be a lot of surveillance and bookkeeping.

Fine, show some quotes from "Mullahs" where they acknowledge this supposed appeasement.

Clinton using executive orders and legislation to keep Russia and Iran from cooperating on defense was a desperate act of "Mullah" appeasement? It was the iranians that called for the Negev summit?

Right, and then you also have public sector software, and transnational software generally, where the provider actually needs to cater to a plethora of rules and regulations.

I found fuzzy search in Manticore to be straightforward and pretty good. Might be a decent alternative if one perceives the ceremony in TFA as a bit much.

The authors try to study the effect of people not engaging directly with OSS projects because they substitute for this with a gang of chatbots, and draw the conclusion that this lack of contact with actual people means they'll be less

I think it would be tricky to develop a package manager in JSON.

As I understand it synthetic data and information, and likely also synthetic code, is already used in training of large models.

Eventually my so called smartphone will be a device for authenticating against a few services that require a special application, that I can also tunnel a serious device through for doing the things that I actually want to do. It would be i

I've had very few issues with Lenovo and Toshiba. They're generally somewhat repairable. EliteBook and Z Book from HP seems fine for Linux too, but I've never had to fiddle with hardware except that I once removed a battery f

You should carry around a Ventoy stick with Debian/XFCE and perhaps Mint on it, and a 16 TB external disk, and nag people in your local environment to let you back up their stuff and move them off MICROS~1 operating systems. Tell them

Worthy of the Ig Nobel. Not surprised it's a management consultant factory in Israel that have uncovered these titillating results.

I'm not sure what "exponential improvement" would mean in this context, but large models have been a massively hyped and invested thing for what, three-four years or so, right? And what do they run on? Information. The produc

No, it does not, it just adds to the risk that you'd be fooled by them or the corporations that produce them and surveil you through their SaaS-models. It's a person in the same sense as a Markov chain is one, or the bot in the re

It would be like JPEG if opening JPEG files involved pushing in a seed to get an image out. It's like a database, it just sits there until you enter a query.

No, it is still just a database. It is a way to store and query information, it is nothing else. It's not just the weirdness in Mongo that could exhibit non-deterministic behaviour, some common indexing techniques do not guarantee orde

No, it is not. It's a funny way of compressing and querying data, nothing else.

by cess11 9mo ago
No, it does not. It's like saying 'I talk to angels' because you hear voices in the humming from the ventilation. It's precisely like a database. You might think the query interface is special, but that's all it is

Some take that in consideration, I did when I until recently was in a CTO role, and I've come across companies that take compliance seriously and have decided against such code synthesis due to the unclear legal status.

I had the same thought. In high school around the turn of the millenium the warhammerers either got a few injections per year to their collections, as presents from relatives or from saved up allowances, unless they made a small business ou
