Yea, this paper is useless if that is the starting point.

I'm fairly certain this is an AI-generated answer.

uh huh... 99% of the flavor is going to come from "Natural flavors" which is never defined.
35.
by cirrus3 2y ago
Exactly.. I feel like "AI" is starting to get used for things that in the past may have simply been referred to as "sensors". Even things like identifying objects in video is a stretch to call "AI" at this poin

That would probably as big or bigger project than the entire rest of the app itself, and since it is such a single developer and not a super profitable app it likely makes no sense to do this.

I wouldn't even really call that loop example an "optimization", it is just the obviously more efficient implementation.

Steve is an interesting guy and while his website and software development methods are downright ancient, I would trust his programs over almost any other vendor. SpinRite has saved me also. I'd encourage anyone who isn't familia

Steve Gibson of GRC (SpinRite, Security Now podcast, etc) made a free Windows tool specifically for this called ValiDrive: https://www.grc.com/validrive.htm If you are a Windows user, ValiDrive seems like the much easier ch

Huh? I don't think one was traded for the other.

by cirrus3 2y ago
Right, this seems good to me, or at least better. At least they are not required to out them anymore. Why is Elon so upset about this?

Exactly... so, you prevent the schools from telling them in the moment. The kid knows best how and when to navigate that, not the school. Your comment hasn't clarified this for me =\

I don't understand the urgency here... are there tons of SpaceX employees who are thinking "oh shit, if my kid tells the school they are transgender, the school won't be able to tell me"? > if you still work for him y

I don't understand why it is bad thing to prevent schools from outing kids to their parents. What am I missing or misunderstanding here?

by cirrus3 2y ago
Why would that be your first thought?

I don’t see that the publicly available evidence would exclude the possibility of aliens causing the breakers to open either.

by cirrus3 2y ago
I don't think anyone who has used it frequently has any assumptions it is correct. You almost always have to edit it either for bugs or just plain incorrect... but it can still be a very helpful tool to get you a nice starting point.

That is hilarious.

by cirrus3 3y ago
Yes, it is all based on assumptions of the dynamics of the cost/benefit calculations of the ransoming-business which I am not familiar with. I did not see anything in the article that took that into account. I fear the lawmakers may no

by cirrus3 3y ago
It just comes down to the cost-benefit for the bad guys. As long as it is profitable it won't stop. Yes, many big businesses may stop paying since the executives don't want to go to jail. Realistically if they are that big they ca

by cirrus3 3y ago
It is unrealistic because as long as just enough victims pay to make it worthwhile, the bad guys will keep doing it. My assumption is that the cost to find victims and make the request is low enough and that number folks that will still pay
53.
by cirrus3 3y ago
This would never work. The assumption is that the bad guys would stop doing ransoms because they think they won't ever get paid since the victim would face legal consequences if they paid. The problem is the assumption that finding a

by cirrus3 3y ago
Yes, obviously they don't care about the legal consequences for the victim. The goal is to make them think they won't ever get paid due to the threat of legal consequences on victim, and therefore they wouldn't bother doing r

You may only get 3 cents in the same time period if no one likes your music enough to listen to it. You don't just get to throw anything up there and expect to get the same $250M. Certainly you understand that they don't pay by ti

Because then you'd have no apps left for food delivery or rides, to name a few categories.

jeez, yea someone got very lucky. I'd love to have the whole rainbow lineup on a bookshelf in my office. CD was all you really needed, but the books were glorious.

TL;DR if yer kid steals a computer book, look the other way. Confession: As a teenager in the 90s, I was a klepto. I stole CDs from Musicland. I stole Zip/Jazz disks/drives from Best Buy. Heck, I stole padlocks from Ace Hardware
