I retract what I said about healthcare, that needs exactly one single payer only - health insurance is a scam we have to be done with. As far as service providers, there should be many, but maybe not competing ones, that hasnâ(TM)t exactly driven down prices.
If we ever again have even remotely sane management, it will be time for the U.S. to break up that industry into at least a dozen actual competitors. Also healthcare. And a lot of others.
It's not even a legal stretch to do so. If I encourage a 6 year old to drive a car and there is an accident, I'm legally on the hook for the lot of it with criminal charges on top. Why shouldn't the AI companies face the same liabilities?
Moving from 1024 to 2048 when 768 is broken is one thing. But so far, quantum computers have only managed 6 bits and had to cheat a bit to do it. It took longer than a child with pencil and paper would take. The new improved quantum computers that were going to do better than that some 6 years ago just kinda didn't happen. We'll get 'em next year?
The fact that this RSA weakness is not based on quantum computation is irrelevant
It's extremely relevant. An actual computer that we can build today can exploit the new RSA weakness. We have no computers today that can run Shor or Grover and the timeline for one that can on a useful scale is somewhere between years and never.
Also how we got to post-quantum when quantum computers have yet to factor anything faster than a 6th grader with pencil and paper.
You are both done laughing and not done laughing.
The government told social media companies to silence people who were critical of Biden.
When did this happen? Citation, please.
You are aware that Joe Biden, while seemingly a nice enough guy, was wildly unpopular as a leader, including among the left? It was the Democrats, after all, who convinced him not to run for a second term.
Nothing what is being accused of here covers the act of monopolising. Following a common standard approach is not anti-trust, in fact whole bodies exist to standardise how things are done, and whole industry bodies self regulate the way industries operate.
What's being alleged here is closer to price fixing, which is also an antitrust violation. Hypothetically, let's say four major automakers got together and said, "We all know we have access to the latest in brake technology, but we collectively agree not to deploy it until two years from now," presumably for business reasons. That kind of collusion is illegal.
Everybody seems to be complaining
So I ask you (everybody): Is anything good? Cuz we ain't gonna have the Year of the Linux Desktop without a UI. Do we all switch to Enlightenment?
If they would reprocess it, much of that 3.6 million pounds would become either valuable nuclear fuel or totally inert scrap.
The rest would only last 200-500 years before becoming totally inert.
Who wizzed in your wheaties?
And I stand by what I said. Practically no phone that still works at all does it at the low level of a capacitor anymore.
Your comment is pants.
North Korea is using a TRS-80 running Eliza
Surely you know that's an absurdly dismissive opinion? North Korea has the capacity to gain access to anything anyone else does, especially if it comes from China.
Exactly. For example, spreadsheets were often used day to day but the accountants kept the actual books as books and had the final word. That changed over time, only after spreadsheets proved out (and got the bugs out).
Also, humans stayed in the loop. Sure there were occasional funnies like a medical database claiming a few male patients had a history of pregnancy, but humans were in the loop and cited those as obvious errors. There were still backup paper records to fall back on.
We all agree on the necessity of compromise. We just can't agree on when it's necessary to compromise. -- Larry Wall
