I was reading The Hacker's Mind by Bruce Schneier and he relays an experiment where a clearly imperfect navigation robot gives wrong directions to people repeatedly. Then a simulated emergency occurs, and the robot changes to saying &q

And while they're doing that, I'm making a voice interface to Claude 3 that I've used for PDFs.

Supposedly, the win11 refactoring of the code base made it infeasible to allow. My hot take on this is if their code is now so unmanageable so as to disallow where a rectangular bar with some minimal interactions is positioned on the screen

I don't disagree with you that it would be a disaster, I'm just saying that fundamentally crypto is not a store of value. But don't listen to me, I only deliberately burned my early Bitcoin after evaluating it on its merits

Not me. When Win 10 goes out of support, I'll have a nice, pretty darn modern (all things considered) (yet another) Linux box. And I'll happily pick up any other computer artificially deprecated by Microsoft too.

You are not alone. Among other concerns, this is practically my greatest reason to not switch to win11 at home; professionally I use it but I would never choose it for my personal OS.

For what it's worth, I don't have evidence that you are conscious (and I never can; your qualia of the concept of the color red and your other internal world-state representations are solely yours, assuming you are not a P-zombie)

Here's a simpler explanation that fits the facts. Humans are practically genetically identical, are raised in roughly similar cultures with similar expectations of reality, and are being dosed with drugs generally assumed to be chemica

Truly, it's a sad day for the Russians when even their own mouthpieces are unable to fully conceal the extent of their losses. I'm not upset at all.

Sure. The US has a treaty to defend Taiwan against foreign aggression. China has abstained from attacking the Taiwanese people since before I was born. Ergo, you are the only one who thinks China is stupid enough to behave in a nonsensical
