It occurred just like gasoline shortages occur. If the media doesn’t make headlines that suggest buying as much as you can immediately, even if there is a supply chain problem things can adjust to meet normal demands. But when everyone takes all the stock at the same time, even a running production can’t keep up with that demand in a just-in-time system. I experienced a local fuel shortage before because of news of a damaged oil pipeline far away, and gas became unavailable for a few days, then started filling back up, all long before the pipeline issue would have affected us.

“A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.”

I know this is a stupid question, but is that even legal?

That’s a bit of a reach. We should have stayed in the trees though, but the trees started disappearing and we had to change.

It may vary between models. Mine if you spam the wrong finger it just counts down 30 seconds before you can try again. But restarting does force a pass entry before fingerprint will work again. I guess the caveat is you have to be able to hold down the power and then select a restart.

Lots of attacks on Gen Z here, some points valid about the education that they were given from the older generations (yet it’s their fault somehow). Good thing none of the other generations are being fooled by AI marketing tactics, right?

The debate on consciousness is one we should be having, even if LLMs themselves aren’t really there. If you’re new to the discussion, look up AI safety and the alignment problem. Then realize that while people think it’s about preparing for a true AGI with something akin to consciousness and the dangers that we could face, we have have alignment problems without an artificial intelligence. If we think a machine (or even a person) is doing things because of the same reasons we want them done, and they aren’t but we can’t tell that, that’s an alignment problem. Everything’s fine until they follow their goals and the goals suddenly line up differently than ours. And the dilemma is - there’s not any good solutions.

But back to the topic. All this is not the fault of Gen Z. We built this world the way it is and raised them to be gullible and dependent on technology. Using them as a scapegoat (those dumb kids) is ignoring our own failures.

Then maybe we should avoid a trade war with Chi…oops, too late.

All companies will eventually try to become monopolies if they get large enough. It’s the nature of capitalism, to do whatever it takes for the bottom line of profit and company growth. That’s why regulations are a good thing, to put limits where a company alone will never do.

“Skeptical of arguments”

Now I’m no lawyer and I can see how the details of this makes it seem like a complex issue, but my gut reaction was that it should be unconstitutional first and foremost for one group to be able to through their religious beliefs deny basic well being for others, especially in such a broad manner.

And my first response days ago before even seeing the specifics of this case was “the best way to topple ACA is and always has been to propose something better”. Almost 20 years later and this has never been a route the Republicans have tried.

AI certainly can be a tool to combat it. Such things should have been hardcoded within these neural nets to have some type of watermarking way before it became a problem, but now as far as it’s gone and in the open, it’s a bit too late for that remedy.

But when tools are put out to detect what is and isn’t AI, trust will develop in THOSE AI systems, and then they could be manipulated to claim actual real events aren’t true. The real problem is that the humans in all of this from the beginning are losing their ability to critically examine and verify what they’re being shown. I.e., people are gullible, always have been to a point, but are at the height now of believing anything they’re told without question.

Under President Joe Biden, the Education Department tried multiple times to forgive millions of people’s student loans, only to be stopped by courts.

Both sides, something something.

“American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said.

You’re hurting a large number of those taxpayers by doing this. This is akin to looking for budget cuts by going after who has the smallest amount of funding like NASA and the Arts.

Plus, some countries actually consider investing in their students to improve their overall society. They don’t try to make profit off of them while minimizing who can get an education. I think our goals in the US are a bit messed up.

I agree, possibly starting with the Southern Strategy for our situation now, but even before that since influencing people to think certain ways isn’t anything new.

It’s a problem of education as well as isolation (purposeful or not). You can’t know what you haven’t been exposed to, nor can you easily argue against something that you’re surrounded by (especially as a kid). That being said, there is absolutely no excuse for the older crowd to be like this, as they have heard something about the experiences of parents or grandparents who first hand knew what the fight was about. The Greatest Generation, and certainly many before them, would be shocked at what’s been forgotten about authoritarianism, dictators, and nationalism.

Not to be on Samsung’s side, but maybe they slowed the end charge to avoid any battery overcharge issues?

He just gave the orders, someone else actually did the crime. If need be they’ll take the hit and later get a pardon or something.

Same thing, and I only use Messenger now because Facebook broke Pidgin when they dropped using the standard XMPP protocol. The 3rd party plugin worked for a while, but as far as I know it still has lots of ongoing issues, which is exactly what FB wants. Pidgin was so much better as an app too.

Sometimes they need a fall guy otherwise the peons start to see a pattern.

This is common knowledge by now I think, and yet evidence shows common doesn’t mean people remember. If you ship anything, fragile or not, be sure to pack it like it’s going to be thrown, dropped, get wet, and stepped on. It’s not even that workers in shipping do this (most damage is usually either bad packaging or mechanical damage in the automated parts), but things happen between point A and point B, many of them unavoidable. And I see SO MANY packages that consist of just some thin cardboard with a few pieces of tape, or a plastic bag that’s easily torn, or documents/letters that are smaller than the label we put on them(??? That won’t get lost :/ )

Pack things like you want to to make it there. Just look at packages you get successfully, and I guarantee on many you’ll see marks of the war zone they went through. Now imagine if they had been sent with an old worn out box you found in the garage and threw some tape on and didn’t bother putting any protective packing inside because “it’ll be fine if it bounces around a bit”.

Going through hospice with my parents I saw this first hand even in that brief time, and imagined how it must be going on constantly in every hospital and facility everywhere. And the thing is, it’s necessary in most cases because going back to how it was done before would be a nightmare just from the aspect of things being sterile.
