They tried that after the Ferguson Riots and caught the wrong people. AI Face ID is faulty because some people look alike, which is why rioters now wear masks.

Star Trek's Federation is still possible, but we must overcome our dislike for each other and work as a team.

Re:The importance of taking effective microbreaks at work
on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @04:10PM (#50265092)
When I hit some stress from coworkers or management, or get stuck in programming, I take a 15-minute break for a soda and chips. Helps clear my mind to take a walk and get something to drink and eat from the vending machines.
Re:Software is slow because of bad design, not slow languages

I used to program in Classic Visual Basic, which was considered slow by many. I optimized the code and used ADO ReadOnly when I didn't write data but only read it. What used to take 15 minutes took 15 seconds in Crystal Reports and other tools.

Yes, it would.

That would be a very unpopular move if they do. It will make surrounding countries mad that they can't get the Internet.

Re:Does code quality still matter when AI writes the code?

When I worked in a law firm as a programmer analyst, I would comment and document my code as well as work with QA for zero defects using a Japanese quality management system of continual improvement. Does the AI follow that? Does it work as a team?

Innocent until proven guilty, but the evidence points to his guilt. I wonder if he wanted to sell the information to another AI company or a Middle Eastern nation.

There are emulators for the PC, Mac, and GNU/Linux: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/114005/anyps5-now-translates-... https://bolxemu.net/
Who needs the original when you have an emulator? Microsoft and Sony can still sell games for the emulators.
