I have mixed feelings about the team behind the AI that called itself MechaHitler getting tons of taxpayer money
All of the large AI platforms have similar issues.
xAI is the only one opening admitting it happens and trying to resolve it.
So I'd rather give my money to them then a company pretending the well they are drawing training data from is not poisoned.
You are about 8 billion cycles behind on news it seems like, this story should clue you in as to how far off you are.
I have a hard time believing that a particular encryption will remain unbreakable, quantum computers or not. At the moment, we have Shor's algorithm for factoring numbers on QCs, so we should avoid relying on the hardness of factorization. How can we be sure that there won't be new algorithms in the future that break the current "post-quantum" encryption?
During my advanced math studies, I only took a rather introductory course on encryption, including stuff like Galois fields and elliptic curves. I recall my professor saying that none of the current encryption methods (besides something like the one-time pad) are proven to be safe; we just don't know any efficient methods of breaking them at the moment.
Why is it so important to you that he gets credit for the vaccine when he was more than happy to disavow his administration's botching of other aspects of the pandemic response like testing. His exact words were "I don't take responsibility at all" and blamed (of course) Obama of all people. He only takes credit for successes and blames anyone but himself for failures. Our country is screwed because millions of people like you cannot acknowledge that, let alone call it a character flaw.
Why would you think the Trump administration's program for developing a COVID vaccine has anything valid to compare with the Biden administration? Were you expecting Biden to make them start over so he could try to do it faster? That's actually the kind of petty, self-sabotaging, ego-driven thing Trump would have done.
It's 2025 and that feels so incredibly silly and we keep it going because "that's the way it's always been" and that seems silly.
To the extent that the situation you refer to is a problem, it's a problem of market share and the resulting funding for ongoing development of an open source OS. Google's ability to enforce requirements on Android OEMs is limited because the big players or any significant consortium of the smaller players can simply choose to cut ties with Google if Google is too pushy.
Yes, Chrome established a different business model from the outset. Android went a different direction because, rightly or wrongly, it was believed at the time that it was necessary in order to fend off other participants in the smartphone ecosystem, and over time it has gotten harder to change the model, not easier. In particular, one major Android OEM has amassed so much market dominance that they can and often do simply refuse Google's requests. Legally, Google could cut ties, but that would be bad for Google and i think it would be bad for Android users, since it would instantly fragment the ecosystem. IMO, Android users (and I am one) are better off with a slower-moving but relatively unified ecosystem.
I think these are two different things. This is the merger of the Chrome OS and Android OS Teams inside Google. (Aka fire everyone involved in Chrome OS except for a few key players who have real value.) From what I heard, this actually mostly already happened in 2021.
No, this is about the merger of the platforms. It probably will eventually result in some reduction in staffing, but it's not happening now, and hasn't happened in any significant way. Both Android and ChromeOS have been relatively untouched by layoffs.
ChomeOS can also run most Android Apps. So other than running more Android apps faster or more efficiently the only other goal would seem to be more platform "lock-in."
The goal is to reduce engineering effort. Even Google has to consider costs.
This was announced on June 12, 2024.
It doesn't mean Android and ChromeOS will share a common UI. Android already supports several distinct user interfaces for different platforms (mobile, wearable, auto, TV), and there's lots of customization even within those spaces. I expect that once the transition is complete, ChromeOS will still look and act much like it does now. It may run Android apps a little better than it does now (though it already runs them fairly well). It'll just share a lot of infrastructure with Android underneath the surface.
And the data that makes this a "fact" and not your opinion is.... where?
I think the Tioe index is great. Ever since I used it as my random number generator the results haven't been cracked.
YOU should probably try reading the summary, they were not here legally, but were given forbearance because of supposed hardships where they came from - but no one really vetted the claims they made. They could still apply for legal immigration.
Biology is the only science in which multiplication means the same thing as division.
