That doesn't sound viby to me, though. You expect people to actually code? /s
You'd have a point if this was an artist community, but coding AI as it exists does not work that well.
I'd give a better example, but most of the technologies that didn't actually work are lost to history. Hmm, maybe reapeating crossbows and that giant 40-reme boat that the one Greek king built?
Does common sense no longer exist?
Yes. A government that's out to get you is pretty much outside Western living memory, and now people seem to think that their rights are a law of physics.
I wonder what the conversation about digital privacy is like in former East Germany.
Look at the Luigi situation. Police tipped accidentally that they have advanced AI they’ve been using for a decade that we didn’t even know about.
Except that's not what did it, and I suspect any such thing is shitty corporate bloatware. In the end, distinctive eyebrows and a good-old-fashioned snitch did him in. He wasn't anywhere close to the radar before that.
Privacy defeatism was already fully going in the days of MySpace. That should tell you a bit about how empirical it ever was.
Mostly the latter. Name a private thing, any private thing. most people will punch it into GoogleMetaX without skipping a beat.
Shit, you answered before my ninja edit.
Yes, I know. I wouldn't really call it a conservative province, though, and I don't think the Quebec outbreak happened because of the 2018 election.
Nuh-uh, there's certain underdeveloped areas of Africa with more expensive internet than Toronto! /s
Actually, I can't rule out Starlink having changed the calculus there, even.
How? Just, how?
What they have is a money printer. Most of the work they do does appear to be bullshit, but when you're running a monopoly you should be able to get away with that. WTF.
I'm not sure there's any way you could make a computer work that non-technical people would question, at this point.
No, we're not. It's the third least Christian province or territory.
It's the most conservative province for other reasons. The biggest thing I see where I live is blind tradition, but massive oil sector and agricultural employment also has an impact.
In general, the Alberta stereotype is exaggerated. Kind of like the Texas stereotype is in the US.
Wasn't there a massive outbreak in Quebec a bit ago? I guess they do have a conservative government right now, but I feel like that contradicts the spirit of this.
At a community level you're almost certainly right about how the people vote, but those pockets are all over the place.
I meant the ones in their closet, but when it comes to methods of disposing of political enemies, you never know!
Smart glasses as display-only don't get enough love as a concept. You can already buy these, although birdbath displays have the weakness of being visible from outside as well.
The other stuff is still pretty speculative, I don't see any reason the technology is all that much closer when it comes to reading minds or reliably interpreting complex spoken instructions. Sure, smart phones are all the same, but they've been that way stably for many years now. Ditto for cars and mops and any number of other things.
They meant it in a homeostasis kind of way, not matter conservation. If a cell responds to an increase in osmotic pressure with more osmotic pressure it will not be a cell for very long. Ditto for body heat, hormones, cell growth or any number of other things in a multicellular organism. I guess it was just an interesting, birds-eye way of approaching the topic, and most of the other stuff was not as memorable.
I live here. It's still fringe.
Danielle Smith is already to the right of the population and trying to do the David Cameron thing, basically. Hopefully it will backfire less destructively.
Norway's is literally the single largest investor in the world now, and makes most of it's money from it's money. Alberta also has almost as many people.
The rest of Canada likes to scapegoat us as inbred racists, but the concentration of that is vastly exaggerated. The affliction we do struggle with is more like a kind of self-righteous entitlement. Dipping into our savings to fund whatever political goodies is one example.
And America would rejoice for no longer having the most overstuffed flag.
TBF David is portrayed as the underdog in that story. IIRC Goliath had armour and may have had ranged weapons as well, but David got lucky (through divine intervention) with a difficult, imprecise weapon.
"If I was dictator for a day", "who made you king" and so on. Autocrats have a lot of power, but it's always leaky as hell and their position is always precarious. In some ways they're just the first among prisoners, since if they ever go against the system itself they're out as fast as Gorbachev was. None of the top officials want their skeletons coming out.
