This kind of article, that just stretches out a simple point over a few hundred words, is absolutely infuriating to read.

TL;DR : Steam Machine has a laptop-grade low consumption GPU and will probably be more console-class than desktop-class. (Also, author has likely never taken a statistics class)

What movie is this ?

Maybe they think market research is for suckers who aren't confident enough in their ideas 🤡

My mind would be blown if the computer always answered correctly.

I am unimpressed because a majority of answers are at least slightly bullshit, and very often they are entirely incorrect.

Bitcoin has at best 5 years left until quantum computers just destroy the cryptography they use, so they are right to look for an escape.

I just wish they realized how futile this all is.

Yes. We don't need even more fragmentation on the fediverse.

That's annoying (or at least, takes some work) to set up, and more expensive.

Out of order cameras are basically (sometimes literally) free, need no wiring work, and don't "accidentally" record any embarrassing / private moments you then have to delete !

Hot take : almost no one actually needs security cameras in their home.

For the very few who do, visible fake cameras do 95% of the job of real cameras with none of the drawbacks.

EDIT : I'll go even further and say an official looking sticker / plaque that says something like "this house has cameras" does at least 50% of the work already.

Of all the organs, I cannot fathom why this is the one we decided we should remove bits of. Imagine if we had instead made a ritual of removing earlobes, no one would give a fuck.

Problem is that doomsday keeps happening, repeatedly, but at a tiny scale. Games, movies, shows, albums, all keep disappearing...

Isn't it also possible that their biology would be different enough that there would be basically no interaction ? 🤷🏻‍♀

I don't think we have any micro-organisms that would be particularly dangerous to silicon-based life, for example, if we did I'd expect it would be a problem already for our computers and everything made of glass ?

I have been thinking of adding a license clause to everything I make (code especially) that makes any AI trained on it my sole exclusive property, but I don't know how defensible that would be in court ?

Or any other sort of trap clause. But again, I don't know how to word it. Like "this makes your model public domain" or "you grant a free worldwide unlimited license to every human on earth".

Something that makes the mere inclusion of the code in a training data set into absolute legal poison to the would-be owners.

I am not a lawyer, not even slightly...
