I’m the administrator of kbin.life, a general purpose/tech orientated kbin instance.
I’m wondering what combination of features would use 25w on a phone. On flagship models the battery would last less than an hour at that consumption (and might even melt :P).
Your point still stands by the way, sensors take next to nothing in terms of power. I guess the point of the article is perhaps the processing of the signals is more efficient with this hybrid chip? Again though in real terms it’s a nothing-burger in terms of power consumption.
I don’t think there’s ground even for an arrest in my (non professional mind you) opinion.
The act requires that a message be sent by any electronic means (including transmission) so, this meets that part. But the message must be indecent or grossly offensive. I would argue some pictures of a couple of buddies together shouldn’t be grossly offensive.
Unless it’s the police’s view that it is offensive because of what Trump may, or may not have done with said now deceased criminal friend. In which case, they should be arresting someone else too.
Yes, it’s a common police tactic to make arrests around the time of a visit like this. But, they really do need to be grounded in a realistic application of the law.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure it would be nice. It just feels like there’s a constant resistance to our lives, in total improving too much.
I have a theory, and it ties in with Agent Smith’s theory from the Matrix. Mine is, that as soon as we remove one cause of stress in our lives, we add at least one new one to replace it.
Maybe we’re just not meant to live in a utopia.
It’s worse than that! When we breath in the oxygen goes into our blood. You know what else is in that blood? Iron! It’s literally rusting our blood!
I really feel like you should read my comment more carefully. I’m not defending them. I’m describing their rationale. My very last sentence should make clear I am not one of the normal users that will be happy and fine with this. I’m typing this, on Linux, right now.
Normal people don’t care, and they would be happy with the thin veil of extra security they will gain (and be told they’re going to gain), in exactly the same way the sales of the top tier mobile phones when they’re boot locked and sideload locked will not dip in any meaningful way.
Well, it’s for a good reason in their view. Also, pretty much everyone here is not the normal computer user. The normal computer user is only dimly aware they use something called windows. The use a web browser and perhaps 3 other programs on their PC. They’re going to be happy when they’re told that having a walled garden improves their computer’s security.
We are the minority.
It’s not “arbitrary” I’d say. It’s part of a long term plan to probably push a fully trusted platform. Yes, so they can ID you by hardware etc but also lock down driver installs and maybe even software installs one day.
It wasn’t canon in my case, but I found with other network printers on Linux that not bothering with “auto finding” and just putting the IP address in manually (give fixed devices fixed IPs on your router to make this kind of thing easier). Most desktop environments have a printer tool that should allow manually adding a printer.
I have to say with the work provided HP PoS I last had, it was equally as difficult to get windows to talk to it, to be fair.
On mbin it looks great when you click it. The transparency makes it overlay the thread perfectly.
I would have been very disappointed if no one had posted this.
Well, they were quite literally compiling all the worst behaviours of modern subscription services and applying it to the medical field. I guess the sad thing is that it could really happen one day.
I would say each of the things that they applied has happened on a service somewhere before (just perhaps not all on a single one). It’s fiction uncomfortably close to reality.
Incoming Spotify premium plus subscription tier. With lossless audio. And then shortly after some previously premium tier features to go plus. Then ads appear on the premium, I mean basic tier (priced at the old premium price).
I think the issue is that there’s usually competing targets here. From the top they wanted to see use of copilot. But direct reports likely expected the same performance.
So are you going to a) do it the way you’ve done it for 10 years and know will deliver on time or b) ask hal9000 for help potentially actually slowing you down, at least initially.
I think there’s gains to be made for some jobs in some cases with ai. But most people probably just got on with their work.
It was obviously a very slow change starting in 2012. The mayans knew what was up!
We’d also be entirely unaware of reboots. Our reality would just resume from the last save point and we’d just move on like nothing happened.
Here you go
#include <iostream>
#include <csignal>
#include <unistd.h>
void sigusr1_handler(int signal)
{
std::cout << "Signal USR1" << std::endl;
}
int main()
{
std::cout << "Installed handler for USR1" << std::endl;
std::signal(SIGUSR1, sigusr1_handler);
while (1 == 1)
{
usleep(5000000); // 5 seconds
std::cout << "Waiting for signal" << std::endl;
}
}
That will help you read at least one of them.
Now see, I like the idea of AI.
What I don’t like are the implications, and the current reality of AI.
I see businesses embracing AI without fully understanding the limits. Stopping the hiring juniors developers, often firing large numbers of seniors because they think AI, a group of cheap post grad vibe programmers and a handful of seasoned seniors will equal the workforce they got rid of when AI, while very good is not ready to sustain this. It is destroying the career progression for the industry and even if/when they realise it was a mistake, it might already have devastated the industry by then.
I see the large tech companies tearing through the web illegally sucking up anything they can access to pull into their ever more costly models with zero regard to the effects on the economy, the cost to the servers they are hitting, or the environment from the huge power draw creating these models requires.
It’s a nice idea, but private business cannot be trusted to do this right, we’re seeing how to do it wrong, live before our eyes.
Yeah, no prices. I move on. Same with job ads, no salary no application. If I get an intrusive ad, I’m not buying that product, I’ll deliberately seek out another brand in fact.
Is that a weird attitude to have? I thought it just made sense. We shouldn’t be rewarding this BS.
