Applying normal engineering practices where human lives are at stake, you build in a safety factor. Your design speed is 25 but it's built to be safe to drive at 50. Drivers figure this out and do 50. Now you have no more safety factor.
If you can't rely on signage, then you need to design roads that aren't safe. There are some obvious ethical considerations with this plan.
I think, in this particular case, it's aggressive apathy/incompetence and not malice. Remember, Trump didn't even know what Nvidia was.
AI's don't have a skin color or use the bathroom so you can't whip your cult into a frenzy by Othering it. You can't solidify your fascism by getting bogged down in the details of IP law.
You need to properly detect that they're bots first and then they'll just figure out how to spoof that. Then you're back to square one.
Abstractly, POW doesn't need to determine if you're a bot or not. To make a request, as a human or bot, you need to pay in cpu-time. The hope is that the cost is not so high that a human notices very much but for a bot trying to hoover up data as fast as possible, the aggregate cost is high.
I think the more horrifying aspect is that they'll just build ever bigger datacenters to crunch POW tests faster and the carbon cost will skyrocket even more.
Reddit has downvotes. That hasn't saved it from misinformation, trolls, and radicalization.
Was the tape to cover the write protect notch on the floppy?
Careful. Lemmy is too small to draw the attention of sophisticated, persistent abuse. As a company, Reddit has struggled with revenue and we've all seen those struggles quite publicly. Lemmy instances with those same challenges would probably just fold and close up.
Federated networks give you freedom but the potential for abuse is proportional to that freedom while at the same time, federation is far more expensive taken as a whole.
Don't you also need a developer license? So that's like an additional $8/month subscription to sideload on iOS.
Or I could be wrong 🤷
If it's not a tree, why call it a branch? Maybe branch doesn't make any sense either. Maybe none of this makes any sense! Oh my God, what are we even doing here?!?! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
I'll never understand why we didn't just go back to saying "trunk".
It was a tongue in cheek strawman or if you want to be fancy, a pedagogical tool.
If "providing housing" is a job/service/whatever produced by workers then I, as a theoretical landlord, own some means of production and split the profits with all of the workers: myself.
It seemed like a funny twist of words.
I found it fascinating beyond just the geopolitics of video cards (although the existence of that right there is wild).
It's a really neat look inside China with "real people" (not trade shows, uptight salesmen, or politicians). I don't speak Chinese but it also seemed like Steve Burke had spent a lot of effort learning. He seems very talented and smart while staying humble. That's rare.
Despite it being a 3 hour video about smuggling, the most discomforting thing for me was the left-handed driving in HK and I find that hilarious.
