I think I triggered some people by saying "AI" here, and you're right. This can definitely be used at a much wider scope. It's not specific to AI. The "AI" comes in where the cost of processing all of the dat

It's the basis of the root of trust. Describe to me, how would you perform secure processing of encrypted workloads without it, and know it was secure? That the workload was not in a VM and the hardware was not issuing deliberately we

Not particularly "show the world" because he's been very demonstrably weak internationally. He's a showman who makes very bold sounds, but his actions show that he will give in to China on Taiwan, like he gave into them

This presupposes that the move won't be forced. It'll show up as competition in the gig economy. And there will be slower adoption in the long-haul or commercial receivables market since someone will need to be responsible for t

No, we won't need horse drivers either. But you might decide to build in enough additional taxes on the self-driving vehicles to cover at least the state's increased costs in terms of unemployment, medical, and services. This way

Hmmm, conspiracy theory time, all speculative: The TPM 2.0 requirement for Windows 11 was to offload compute tasks from the cloud. Make end-users process their own analytics, particularly with the AI-based workloads based on private models

Unfortunately, "do no harm" has become "cover your ass". This often translates to a slew of expensive test procedures before one can get diagnosed and treated, which deters patients from seeking medical care. eg, at one

My great-grandfather stuck around for a year or two with various eldery-issues after his wife died. Then he had to hang himself, because there was no legal or easy way to humanely end his own life. Apparently he did it wrong, but died anywa

I bet it's even more annoying when you participate with those complaints and give them your attention. Then you can get really mad at them for stealing your attention instead of just moving on.

I _really_ wish that if Element has an update prompt for me almost every single time I open it, that it would just update during the startup sequence on its own. Or at least have an option for it. Not a 'Oh you loaded, now click this

Agree, it's all in how it's actually used. There are ghosts kitchens renaming themselves to avoid bad reviews, or to inflate their presence. But there are legit reasons to do it too.

A ton of places are doing that. Restaurants that want to price things differently from their main. Or primarily in-store restaurant chains that don't want branding impacted by crappy delivery reviews. Keyword competition to improve

Maybe this is what it looks like when corporate doublespeak and AI hallucinations merge. Is that support rep implying that we won't get extra ads on top of our ad-free experience if we opt out of ad personalization google-wide?

Except, the first prospective renter can report you, and the second, and the third, and the fourth... all before you get an actual renter. And more likely, the vehicles these brokers depend on like Zillow, etc, will end up bearing the burd

I agree someone needs to look into this more directly. The bits he was specifically interested in and wrote most about were the thermography pieces. And that's where the focus of the article was. The author notes only skimming the pa

Looking at those permissions, I think whatever fear he decompiled this out of was justified. I guess that's one way to implement industrial espionage. Build telemetry and malware, or code that can become malware with a little tweaking

China has barely started with Taiwan. There are projections of China moving to forcibly take Taiwan within the next two years. It may be a bit later than that. If the US doesn't take a strong stance in support of its ally in Taiwan,

Look at all of the major government spending and determine who benefits most and where funds are sent. If the recipient of funds is a corporation, also review how their profits are spent and which humans eventually profit from that.

ANY call to set a debt ceiling needs to be directly tied to converting all for-profit corporations into public-benefit corporations. That doesn't restrict corporations from generating profit. It just balances how they use said profits
