We wouldn’t even notice we’ve become pets of any kind of superintelligence; one can’t notice intelligence vastly superior to their own, same way your cat can’t even remotely grasp what the code on your screen is for.

>China is more than willing to manipulate cultural messages with money Compared to a country where companies literally buy congressman, and freely manipulate public opinion for the highest bidder?

>US (sadly) adheres to the One China Policy How terrible of them to adhere to the policy Taiwanese themselves prefer! EDIT: To clarify, from what I remember the public opinion on Taiwan independence has been steadily shifting and now it’

What is a human though? Corporations aren’t all humans, there are also machines there, buildings, vehicles, custom software… If it’s “any of it is human”, how about AI cooperating with a human? Or perhaps connected to a human brain? But d

Even university libraries? What kind of books do you have in mind?

Network effect; can’t really compete until the current monopoly is solved. Also it’s disputable whether a business model based on invading peoples privacy should be legal.

You wouldn’t hear about it at all because of NDAs. And people wouldn’t be “leaving in droves”, because they are already used to it.

Inferior products can still be popular, how surprising. Seriously though, the only actually valuable thing Google has at this point is its market share.

It’s actually free, unless you live in some weird country that doesn’t have libraries.

Except that “improving search” here means maximizing Google profits, from ads in particular, as opposed to what users would consider an improvement to search.

Nope, just yandexed for “bucha massacre”, 2nd place is already Rashist propaganda.

What won was what _appeared_ to be something useful, at least at first glance.

Sigh, sorry, it should read “more reliable”, or “less prone to failure”; somehow failed to notice this in my previous comment.

Plot twist: they’ll eventually sunset both at the same time.

Any kind of military action. To US, Taiwan is a “stone aircraft carrier group”.

In every way. Any Google service can fail for a myriad of reasons, from internet connection problems to some random failure of one of billion fantastic engineering pieces involved, to Google blocking your account for whatever reason, to Go

Its not compartmentalization if your airlocks are broken or unsecured.

So it takes fantastic engineering to fetch a value from a single input box and then echo a string with some CSS around it? :-D Once again - instead of reasoning about the usual piece of the stack try to understand the whole thing - from us

If you wrote a code that contains some bug, usually your your tests won’t catch it either. You’d need a fuzzer instead. But then again, it just doesn’t work this way - you can’t write perfect code, you need to follow the principle of leas

Tests aren’t particularly useful for detecting this kind of bugs though.

So, why don’t we have a separate kernel (a VM really) handling WiFi hardware and perhaps some other network stuff? For a laptop the overhead shouldn’t matter match.

It should be sustainable if those two hours were spent building something useful, and not just another random thing to be forgotten in three years.

1. Sure (if you didn’t need incremental builds, why bother with make at all? Just use sh.) 2. It doesn’t, it’s programmers job to make an effort to append a file name to a single line in a single file. 3. It’s portable in the same way auto

Not feeling obliged to raise own kids - as opposed to just making sure they survive - seems quite common in the West.

Yeah, China seems focused on making actual products people buy for being useful, instead of fake ones (“MVPs”) just to get bought by investors.

US would lose a strategic bridgehead, so it’s not going to ever happen.
