Kids, this is why pension plans are bad and you should instead have IRAs/401Ks. By established court precedent, pension plans have no legal protection, so the company can raid them for anything, including paying down debt. That money isn't going back - ever.

Are you assuming his claim is true? He didn't get rich telling the truth. Three different AI apps have reached #1 this year. Deepseek, Perplexity, and GPT.

You're confused or replying to the wrong person. I never made any arguments regarding human evolution or historical diets nor did I make any argument against anything.

My guess is because vegetarians believe it will be easier to convince omnivores to be vegetarians if there were at least a transition-period meat-substitute product to make the transition easier, i.e., not have to give up burgers cold turkey.

Yes this is the simplest solution either have another instance of the llm reject or censor the output or even simple text classification models could detect most of this in either the input or the output or both.

I don't get why you or anyone puts up with such people. I'd start the dinner on time. If that person misses it, oh well. Actions should have consequences.

I dream a lot lately, too. Mine are also in color. But mine, while they contain dreamlike elements, in that some stuff usually happens that doesn't quite make sense, they're generally about pretty ordinary situations, even if things like people and locations are made-up.

As for why I have frequent dreams, I just associate it with getting good, restful sleep.

I couldn't read the full article (paywalled), but the first paragraph mentions night hags, "night mares," succubi, and incubi. These are now all believed to be historical ways of describing the phenomenon of sleep paralysis. Many people who experience this phenomenon describe the experience as terrifying. They see things like a large, shadowy figure at the end of their bed, or crawling toward them, or sitting or pressing down on their chest.

One of the causes of episodes of sleep paralysis can be chronic obstructive sleep apnea. Even if you don't experience sleep paralysis, sleep apnea can also be associated with nightmares.

You know what else is associated with sleep apnea? Stuff like heart disease, COPD, Type 2 diabetes, and even stroke. So, you know ... don't scoff. It's research.

Not kidding in what I'm about to say. Just want to be crystal clear about it.

This is because most Slashdotters don't program in C any more. If it was obfuscated Rust, it might get a lot more interest. Shrug.

A counter to the buggy and hard to maintain problems with AI code is that it allows entrepreneurs to quickly bootstrap their business with a good-enough solution, then use the revenue or investment that it attracts to hire humans to redo the code properly. So freelancer sites can profit from this second wave. But they do lose all the business writing software that commercially fails.

Are humans going to fight back by reducing their source-available code, putting it behind bot-proof walls, or poisoning the well by sprinkling in some incorrect code?

Not directly. But if you own and administer the site hosting a page containing such a link, you can write a crib job that goes through all the hosted HTML files looking for such links and effectively "click" them. But if you can do that, you could almost as easily replace the goo.gl links.

There's a legit reason for nobody in Congress understanding tech. It's because the vast majority of members, including in this case Schiff, are lawyers. I'm an IT guy with a lot of lawyer friends from my college days. How this ended up being the case is a long story I'll skip. But none of them are great at tech at all. One lawyer friend for years had a "cell phone that's just a phone" until he grudgingly had to give it up and got, and can barely use, an iPhone. Another is very tech challenged. He basically just asks Siri everything rather than type anything into his phone and I can tell you because I've seen it firsthand that if he has to do something on a PC that requires more than 2 button clicks, his brain just shuts down and it's "too hard" for him to do and understand.

I had this feature turned on for a few months with the older iOS' and it worked great... until I got onto a waitlist at a restaurant and then "never" got the text telling my table was ready. There was no notification indication at all which normally is what I would've wanted.

AI filterting would be great for that sort of stuff but then the spammers would immediately jump on that "Your table is ready! respond to me about your inheritance is Uganda!"

Though I didn't plan on it, my phone's area code doesn't match my geographic area code, so allegedly local calls from my phone's area code aren't actually geographically local to me. So I'm not interested in such calls.

As far as the rest, whether they spoof the numbers or not doesn't matter since I'm not interested in talking to anybody from their alleged area codes anyway.

Sure, some spam calls would get through from my geographic area code since it would be white listed, but it would still be a huge improvement. It's rare I get a spam call from my geographic area code now anyway.

What I want is deny/allow lists based on entire area codes.
