Re:Corporate America Is Getting Hooked on Open-Source A.I on Saturday September 05, 2026 @06:23AM (#49575082)
The burden of proof is on you.

I doubt they want to risk their reputation, trust and agreements to make money in the ways you describe.

Is this not true for everything then? All cloud services, all Internet providers, everything within M365, OneDrive and Databricks?

I will never forget the feeling of reading this for the first time on my iPad some years ago. It kind of helped me get out of a rut, his grit is inspiring.
Re:Saying “Sup” with `Net Send` on Friday December 30, 2022 @03:09AM (#34183012)
Hehe yes, the API was called something with named pipes IIRC. I created a GUI in Delphi that could spoof net send sender and used it at LANs and school.

Re:Google fires engineer who called its AI sentient on Saturday July 23, 2022 @02:32AM (#32200938)
There is no "you" nor "self". Western indoctrination made us believe free will exists.

When seeing the world with the ego dissolved it is very hard to grasp what sentient really means.

Amen.
Re:Web3 is the big idea customers didn’t ask for? on Wednesday June 29, 2022 @11:59AM (#31922018)
It is not even a big idea.
Re:Sanctions and Strategic Bombing on Saturday June 04, 2022 @04:58AM (#31618338)
Free will and the self does not exist.

Edit: with this I only meant to say that it is unfair to judge or blame - policies still need to be enforced which is in line with the established consensus of moral philosophy.

Re:Vintage computer ads on Saturday May 21, 2022 @03:15PM (#31460875)
Seems to me there's not been much progress.
I am a Swede and I think most of my peers are delusional fans of our institutions and leaders. The leaders tries to cover up everything, and holds no accountability. People are such fans of Anders Tegnell - the man who uses an extreme amount of words to say almost nothing, in addition to almost never admitting to failure or being wrong. They go hand in hand with the politicians on this part.

This is based on the assumption that it all has to do with media exposure.
How much does it cost to store the actual asset only within the actual blockchain, for the most popular chains?

Re:What the Omicron wave is revealing about human immunity on Thursday February 03, 2022 @11:33AM (#30194555)
What if I had prior infection of Covid before vaccines were available? Why would I need to be forced to be vaccinated? Given that my health care system actually registers this prior infection. While we don't have vaccines for everyone in the world.

Could the global obesity epidemic not also be handled through mandates?
What is natural immunity? Can it only be achieved by anti body response? Or also T-cell response?
Re:Saving on egress switching from AWS to Hetzner on Tuesday January 25, 2022 @03:20AM (#30069498)
Is everything about to move fast? When you read a book, is it a race to get to the last page? When you sing a song, is the goal to get to the last word as soon as possible?
What if I got infected before being eligible to be vaccinated?
I have also only actually worked about 10 of 40 hours a week as a consultant to a giant enterprise, only getting great feedback.
Re:Mess with DNS on Wednesday December 15, 2021 @12:54PM (#29569295)
How many would actually be able to build anything if it was purely random? How many tries of 100 people batches until they've built something?

Not arguing, just questions that came into my mind.

Re:“Please don't add any of my stuff to this project” on Tuesday June 15, 2021 @11:55AM (#27517304)
I was interested and also searched, here are the results:

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues?q=is%3Aissue+n...

https://community.home-assistant.io/search?q=nixos

I sampled a few of the closed issues and it cemented my decision to not use Home-Assistant for my Zigbee setup at home because of the recent behavior of frenck and other Home-Assistant top tier persons.
