I'm not sure who you're arguing against. Where did I say we shouldn't allow AR or this technology? I stated why it might be a problem (which is what you asked for), and why we should possibly pay attention to the negative c

We have enough of people acting like their own experiences are indicative of the norm or are evidence of something happening or not happening, and using that to spread that message, that making this even easier seems like it would be a real

There may be a difference between what we currently know as "bots" and when someone finally links generated images/video, and content through text and speech together into something that does a good approximation of a person.

Yep, that was one of the aspects that came to mind. I wonder if anyone has trained up a bunch of Marilyn Monroe images to generate new content of her? What's the legal precedent for for those images? Does it depend on the source set

My main point was to note that regardless of reason, we do seem to punish thoughts in some cases, so the last part of the statement I quoted doesn't quite match with reality. The second part of my comment was more along the lines as

My point was the last sentence of what I quoted doesn't quite match reality. We do prosecute people for sick thoughts in some of these cases, regardless of whether we should.

The really smart models will put together an AI to generate images of them using only their own images as training data, and then they can sit back and profit. Eventually we'll be watching generated personalities on twitch playing vide

Given some of the more interesting body horror I've randomly encountered so far, that might be enough to put some people off their fetish, at least temporarily. At least for those who don't have that as their fetish. It's an

Lol, there's some good ones on there, and some things that look like the beginning of the crazy scene of a horror movie, where certain orifices are not quite anatomically correct...

Sorry IncRnd, your app has been rejected on the grounds that it duplicates functionality of a core (about to be) included app. Apple's Relax Time does this, and will be out on the next release. P.S. We cross-our-hearts-promise we didn

Doesn't that assume that those local producers are only using local resources? It's very hard to be insulated well in this day and age. Livestock feed price is up. Fertilizer price is up. Equipment shipping costs are up, when

It's not that I think reading it is necessarily bad, but Perl does shift the onus of writing from making it correct to making it legivlem later. It's easy to write correct perl code, there's often many ways to do it because

I wasn't very clear, but I view this specifically as something interpreted languages have to deal with far more than compiled languages. Compiled languages have a slightly different set of trade offs that make this less of a problem (

Pick your poison. Either you evolve your language to keep people interested and old code becomes stale and eventually stops working, or you don't and you lose your community and interest in the language, like Perl. We run twenty year

There is no one answer in the linux world. It's distro dependent, with different distros choosing different policies which you can choose from to match what you're looking for. For example, Fedora will upgrade package versions an

Books have paragraphs, which are newlines and indentations, specifically to help people read in the face of what would otherwise be a wall of text. Being able to read large chunks of text with minimal or no formatting is useful, but so is k

A central rotating knob or directional jiystick that can be pressed is also fairly intuitive. I fortunately they've futzed that one up often too by making it rotate and a directional pad (such as in Honda Odysseys, at least circa 20

The trade off of modules, which it pays to be aware of, is that they have different support lifecycles to the distro they are in. They publish a list that is updates as new modules are released.[1] what this means in practice is that some

It provides close to nothing, because it doesn't indicate whether there was no evidence because there could be no evidence - you keep no logs - or whether there was no evidence in spite of the fact there definitely should be if it was

The flip side of that is people feeling/assuming there's nothing they can really do with the resources they have therefore they choose to do nothing. Also, those that are actively using mitigations that are going to be outdated at

Sure, I kind of assumed that when used appropriately in this way it would say something appropriate that wasn't untrue as well, such as "warranty implications if broken", which them people might at least be interested in look

Which, maybe an appropriately placed sticker can help determine. Note I said help. Whether the sticker is enforceable or not, it's an easy way for the manufacturer to know whether the user even accessed internals that aren't

Another way to think of it might be that it can be relied on - until it can't. Be ready and wary of that happening, but until then you have what's probably a good mitigation of the problem.

No, I didn't argue nuclear anything. I merely noted that I would be worried about relying on a resource which we might expect to get scarce during a time when energy instability is already high.

I'd hate to be relying on cars feeding back into the grid when a natural disaster happens which encourages people to evacuate, or prepare to evacuate such that they want to ensure their batteries are charged. I would hate to weather an
