One is definitely racist.

plus the idea that the country might be gone in two months

The CAPTCHA is question is Cloudflare Turnstile, which slowly ramps up a different assortment of invisible challenges while not tracking your mouse movement or cross-site activity.

If a bot can find all images with crosswalks in grainy photos faster than we can, surely it can check a box as well. Bots definitely can check a box, and they can even mimic the erratic path of human mouse movement while doing so. For Turnstile, the actual act of checking a box isn’t important, it’s the background data we’re analyzing while the box is checked that matters. We find and stop bots by running a series of in-browser tests, checking browser characteristics, native browser APIs, and asking the browser to pass lightweight tests (ex: proof-of-work tests, proof-of-space tests) to prove that it’s an actual browser.

The article talks about Cloudflare’s very different CAPTCHA, not Google’s, but I agree.

It seems to have an endless radio mode. Am I missing something? https://community.qobuz.com/news-en/l2cyyji08ktj0w94hcfcjbbuyui2dw

Doesn’t that make it 41.4% US-owned? I don’t see how your criteria make Deezer better than Apple Music. Plus Access is the same company that owns Warner Music Group, and I’m fairly sure it’s only 41.4% because they later went public in 2022; the 2016 acquisition decision says the percent of Deezer owned by Access is confidential but says Access would have exclusive control. Which also brings the question of where the 41.4% figure is from.

Do you really want to support something that expressly funds the policies and aspects of the US that you hate or something that’s simply based in the US and helped fund just Trump’s inauguration event instead of any policies?

What’s brain-dead radio?

indeed, i find the fact that there’s an empty webpage there with absolutely nothing, not even a redirect or 404 notice, on a FAANG website, very interesting

I don’t see what’s so crazy about common law. With how dysfunctional the US Congress is, common law means you have a stopgap when a bind prevents rights from being upheld in a situation where the law doesn’t apply.

All the more reason to see what’s different about that outlier.

This was apparently on June 18. Here’s NBC’s coverage of it: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fda-hiv-prevention-drug-prep-lenacapavir-rcna208387

I’m trying to find other outlets that confirm “The makers are also providing affordable access to the drug in the US and beyond, signing royalty-free licensing agreements with six generic manufacturers to produce and supply it.”, which NBC’s article doesn’t say.

there’s no spelling mistake here. whether or not you agree it can be a verb (probably not), “shutdown” definitely can be a noun. it’s not that AI shut it down, it’s that this happened during the shutdown

Implementation is a huge part but not the major part. Figuring out bugs is a part of design, and implementation probably seems to take more time because one hasn’t thought about the design and designs it on-the-fly, which is what we often do. Figuring out APIs does also take time but not nearly as much as all the design in engineering.

I don’t think anything in the post applies to using AI to figure out syntax.

Jobs like coding now look more like architectural design jobs rather than typing jobs.

I don’t think you’re a programmer. The major part of programming has always been design, not syntax.

I’m not sure if you’ve even read the post. The entire point of this thread is that AI shouldn’t be replacing thinking, that it shouldn’t replace the architectural design, creativity, or the generation of original ideas, which people are using it for. Photos did not replace framing and composition, while limiting stroke style but giving the benefit of authenticity (which I admit was short-lived) and speed. AI gives the benefit of speed while heavily compromising the creativity and reliability of its output and should not substitute the ability to think for yourself. Not that you can’t use it for clerical tasks.

That’s a confusing way to describe it which also seems to have no impact on this discussion. IQ is standardized each year or so to always average at 100. You’re probably referring to people in the 21st century getting lower scores on older tests, which is called the “reverse Flynn effect”. And it’s called the reverse Flynn effect for a reason: this is a new observation only in the 21st century, while the Flynn effect—where people scored higher on older tests—was observed for a much longer time throughout the 20th century, which saw a ton of innovation as well; in the USA, most notably the societal upheaval into suburbanism and consumerism among other things. And even the reverse Flynn effect so far has been observed independently and before AI, before the prospect of the replacement of thinking.

I think the argument remains intact if you just s/thinking/cogitation. The argument is that it can replace cogitation and shouldn’t, not that it shouldn’t be used at all. Plus it’s non-deterministic unlike the other tools.

it’s not even taut, it’s somehow just “floating around” and slicing the neck every single time
