Current AI has no reasoning facility, it is just serving up a mix-up of content that has been collected around the topics queried for. As such responsibility cannot be applied as responsibility requires reason and there is no way to reason with current AI. It can present what it finds, but it does not understand it.

The quote I focus on is this "Each training phase compounds prior compromises".

Its potentially compromised in the training data sets (and given the size of these this is highly likely) and the prompts supplied. If you train over half the internet, you will include compromises.

Moths are drawn to artificial light sources, this as they use the light source to facilitate finding a mate, and whilst you could potentially argue this is "natural", these plants will end up spreading in the outdoor environment, and we end up upsetting nature.

So the delivery company (where I live) for Amazon prime claims to be "Carbon neutral" - and this I find really hard to believe, given that the chap performing the delivery is driving around a diesel van that is chucking out black smoke everywhere. Clearly this is more about Carbon neutral cooking the books in some ridiculous offset scheme or other. Companies should not be able to make claims like this and offset schemes are the biggest scam of them all... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Fen...

Thom Hogan has a good writeup of the challenges posed by Tariffs posted yesterday from a Nikon point of view https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbythom.com%2Fnewsviews%2Ft...

Also not in the US - but as I see it the "motivation" to base manufacturing in the US will take a whole deal of time to achieve, and crucially it requires stability. You need a stable business environment to make these kind of plans. If you are basing your new business on the sole basis of these tariffs, tariffs that appear one day and disappear the next, that would appear to be a gamble, that may or may not payoff.

Kodak actually produced their own sensors for a while - including the full-frame 18-megapixel KAF-18500 used in the Leica M9.
But to go back to that... would only require an updated fab... and then all of the components needed to integrate... Cameras are complicated as is their supply chain, tariffs are unfortunately not very sophisticated...
Hence why Nikon has to raise prices, as they have a lot of complexity just to try to guess what the new price might be.
It looks to me - with these new prices - that the same lens is now considerably cheaper in Sweden than in the US - and I can tell you as a Swedish resident and a grey haired photographer - this is the first time I have ever seen that.

Maybe some kind of solar power option would work best... or one that generates power from pollen gathered (chemical energy)...

Well there is more ice in Chicago in mid December than in Texas... I suppose, and more space rockets launched from Texas than Illinois... Here in the UK we use the measurement "The size of Wales" which I personally prefer and would highly encourage.

and was replaced by ECC on Netweaver, that got then replaced by business suite that then became SAP S/4 Hana, which is now SAP HANA on cloud.
The problem is not so much standardized workflows... its more this - the original design of SAP R/ and ECC was tightly coupled, with dependencies everywhere, which initially gave a massive competitive advantage. Customers added a lot of custom code to this and created even more dependencies. Since 2018 SAP have been asking their customers to keep the core clean, this message is just and I mean only just beginning to sink in... Customers have a long way to go.
Then S/4 Hana has a different database model, so upgrading involves a DB conversion, with a lot of effort required to achieve, and the benefits, are perhaps less than super clear to customers, although the main appeal to developers is that they can start to build less tightly coupled solutions (around CDS, RAP etc).

whats to stop someone relacing the restaurant QR code with a sticker QR code for whatever hostile URL. QR codes are really not good for security... people seem to trust them, but they are just as bad as opening any URL that you are being spammed in your emails.

For me - Nethack was the origin of the RPG

Cadmium arsenic and chromium, all highly toxic. We put out one immediate ecological disaster, and in the process we create another, that is more hidden and potentially a longer term problem.
