Comment Great idea to create more dependents (Score 1) 276

Get those youngsters hooked up to government handouts from an early age and they will never amount to anything. And with the infinite wisdom of 18 years old kids, we know where that 20K Euros will end up. Don't we? Weed and the latest incarnation of XBOX or PlayStation.I don't see any 18 YO kid to go enroll at the college or start a business with free money he or she was handed, with no strings attached.

Comment Just wondering why made a sudden 180 degree turn (Score 0) 160

My guess is, people are awake to the truth and thought contro via media bias is not working. Now they will say, "see we changed our decision" after the tide turns against their overlords.A day late, a dollar short Sundar... I hope you can answer some hard questions like your twitter cohorts did, not too long ago.

Comment WHo will watch the watchers (Score 1) 77

As if nukes can be launched by the ordinary, law abiding folk, who will think twice before hitting the red button. Who is this law made to control? In ddition, if Russia or the the chinese commies launch a nuclear attack on the US, who cares if AI launches the nukes vs a human being? Again, this is a distraction from something bad government is doing right now or planning to do, while people are discussing useless but controversial subjects. Just watch what else is happening while this idea floats around, in the political theatre. Brace for a new AI tax, or some unlawful government power grab.

Comment Finally... (Score 1) 121

Finally, someone at USCIS is waking up and smelling the coffee. I bet my dollars to your pocket lint that, those companies in this collusion scheme, are all Indian owned sweatshops. I think it is time to put the companies, which only farm out their H-1B workforce to other companies, out to the pasture. Enough is enough.

Comment So, you want JPEG-XL huh? (Score 1) 130

Then find a goddamn browser other than Chrome. What is it to you that what google wants ? They are a company which is profit based. And they do not see a future profit, pursuing this standard. To be honest, other than te term passing in a couple of articles in the past, I don't even know the importance of this format and what would happen if my browser doesn't support it? Will I, one day need JPEG-XL? Maybe. What will I do then as a chrome user? Switch to a different browser. Firefox anyone ? What is the big deal? Oh, you said this will slow down the adoption of JPEG-XL? So ? Are you using it every day today? I didn't think so. Again, what's the big deal? You as a tech elite want this to be the way web based images should be? Population in general don't care. Get off your high horse and look at the picture from business perspective. Nobody is giving you something for free. Every free horse comes with a lot of hidden expectations. You are free to reject the free browser and go with something else. Just because you said something is better, nobody should take your word for gospel and follow you. You're neither Moses, Jesus or Mohammed..

Comment Interesting turn of events. (Score 1) 248

The investigation must have been getting too close to an inconvenient truth for the shadow government of the world, so they had to pull the plug on that. Ansd people still do nit want to see the truth and eat the spoon-fed fake news about why we lost almost 3 years of our lives, locked up in our houses. Makes me furious hearing these stupid stories.

Comment Hypothetically speaking... (Score 1) 115

If I see a Latino person commit a crime, when it comes to a police sketch, regardless it is by AI or by a sketch artist, I am not going to say this person was white or black. If I have to skew the truth due to my racial bias, no matter hiw you generate that drawing, it is syill subjected to the same bias. This is just a tempest in a teapot by race-mongers, nothing more. If you don't want bias, then don't resort to skettchig the subjects.

Comment And the truth in Turkiye is very fluid (Score 1) 100

If you speak against Tayyi Erdogan, it is always false information, regardless you tell the truth 100 with irrefutable proof. If you call Tayyip's cohortsd thieves and scheemers, again false information. This is not any different than Biden's fact check police which was abandoned. It is a muzzle on free speech. And people who want to puth the kibosh on free speech are NEVER the good ones. History tells us.

Comment Studies show... (Score -1, Troll) 174

Studies show that. 97% of scientists side with whomever is funding them. Remaining 3$ are labelled conspiracy theorists (thank you CIA for coining that term by the way) banned from social media and made a pariah for speaking the truth. Therefore, those scientists who side with these findings can kiss my Lilly-white arse.

Comment How can this be ? (Score 1) 197

Last I checked, hardware, as in CPUs and GPUs do not talk any human language. You can not command them to add or multiply or move things. You still need to tell them how to do that and at the bottom end, this is machine code, as in "1"s and "0"s.. Go one level above, it is assembly language. Even another step above it is a high level language of some sort, Let it be C or Go or Rust or whatever. Someone needs to write that program. This is not no code. At the end of those coders' effort, one newbie can come and claim that he/she could organize thse preprogrammed, proverbial Lego, bricks and created a killer app but we, the old timers know that, this newbie didn't write anything. He just reused others' code. Low/No code programming is not programming. It is just rearranging the code someone else wrote.
