I’ll agree with this. GIMP is the most user-unfriendly piece of photo editing software i’ve used to date. I can pick up video games like Shadow Empire and spend dozens of hours figuring out how it works but GIMP is a wall to me.

2028… so plenty of time for appeals and there will be basically no downward pressure on the housing market there since there is no big rush to offload 10k units that won’t make money.
It’s too bad, would have been better if they just revoked it immediately and banned it in the city.
High paying jobs with tons of new graduates have an oversaturated supply problem. It’s no surprise that when people figure out that becoming a software developer is easy street to 150k+++ WFH that there was a huge rush to get those jobs… now that there are TONS and TONS of young junior devs there is no shortage to hire someone for near minimum wage.
Why pay 400k for a senior developer when you can hire a mid-level for ~100k to be a manager, and 4 juniors for 60k a piece, and augment them with chatgpt to help them learn what they are skill gapped by.
Plus junior devs are so desperate you can force them to come into the office, something the dev divas ten years ago refused to do back when there was a huge shortage of coders.

yay billion dollar lawyer paycheck
wow lets poison DNS, surely no one will start linking these piracy sites via ip addresses or create alternative domain names. wcgw.
“as a first priority.” Nakasone will “also contribute to OpenAI’s efforts to better understand how AI can be used to strengthen cybersecurity by quickly detecting and responding to cybersecurity threats.”
So what you’re saying is that the guy is there to setup data collection to feed to the NSA surrounding any and all inputs and ensure that the inputs are not able to be used for any meaningful intelligence actions by US competitors. Got it.
Hypothetical question: If you omitted the couple bucks of income from the 1099 on that one savings account and you later got audited- how much money would you be on the hook for? what would the consequences be in worst case and likely case scenarios?
I honestly think the government has next to no resources now to go after tax cheats that aren’t hiding tens to hundreds of thousands of owed taxes… but would love to hear what others have to say. I suspect missing out on less than a dollar of taxes from omitting a single figure 1099 would not be big enough to chase and if found probably less costly than hiring a preparer every year when averaged out over your lifetime of tax returns.
I’m not really thrilled about almost all the money in show business being funneled to a couple of actors and actresses and giant studios/big money.
Over and over again the majority of writers, actors, actresses and supporting teams strike for a real share and they never seem to get one.
Meanwhile big companies get billions in tax credits every year for shooting movies. The public subsidizes the costs and then pays again once a show releases. It’s insanely big bucks going to the ownership class.
Yeah, no… edison was way late to the game. https://www.energy.gov/articles/history-electric-car
At one point steam cars were 40% of the market, electric was 38%, and gas was a paltry 22%
I’m super not okay with a government (which we have) gaining free access to that information for anything they want (which they would)
I fully believe they already have it.
I have nothing but admiration for the guy willing to be the human experiment. He’s like an astronaut paving the way for a potential future for mankind.
Even if someone else finds the right way of doing it, this is driving us towards having practical man-machine interfaces. It’s really cool.
Also completely terrifying to think about being the experiment myself.
Honestly it doesn’t really matter what you or I are really in favor of when it comes to privacy and surveillance. Today we’re already tracked everywhere. Data privacy is a nice idea and even with all the laws in the world there is no transparency to make sure companies follow them. Our car tracking us is annoying and all but we all carry these things called cell phones which have GPS in them and we keep them on all the time. How many people have apps like facebook installed which harvest all kinds of data and then sell it to whoever is willing to pay? Speeding is already going to be seen with just that data. Even if you turn all the tracking off on your phone the fucking cell company knows where you’re connecting from and that data goes right into a little database in a three letter agency.
The US Government today can legally get whatever data they want from anywhere in the US and most of europe. Maybe not your local cop, but someone, somewhere, taking orders from the US government in the name of something like terrorism has access to everything. Corruption is everywhere and everything can and will be abused. Opaque systems like we have today only proliferates corruption.
Technological solutions can absolutely be developed that are transparent and don’t give exceptions to cops driving personal vehicles. We absolutely can develop systems where senators, representatives and even billionaires are not above the law, but today in practice they essentially are.
But hey, like I said. My opinion doesn’t matter. Yours doesn’t either. We don’t get any say in how this stuff works. The idea that enforcement of our laws might be applied consistently across the board is terrifying to people because we all do illegal shit all day long in our own little personal corrupt universe. We just want to believe the cops will stop “the other guy” more than us and that we’ll be able to be smarter than the system. It’s fucked and nothing will change. The owners of the US just want the cops there so they can punish the ones who act out in the order of things in a way that might hurt them or their friends and family, and that’s how it’s gonna work.
Without absolute transparency and total accountability it’s going to be abused, but we already live in a surveillance dystopia. Have you ever seen what happens to whistle blowers today?
it’d suck you had your car wrecked by someone broke and were SOL
Welcome to New Hampshire, land of 0 auto insurance.
can you going to mcdonalds twice a day be shared with your health insurer?
You think this data isn’t already shared?
Call me an asshole but I think giving driving habit information to insurers is great, so long as good habits are given discounts and bad habits are punished.
I’m one of those people who would love automatic enforcement of driving laws as well as user reportable incidents of other drivers (given you can provide footage of something you’re reporting.)
If people don’t like living under the law… maybe the law shouldn’t exist. “That’s the way it is” is a terrible excuse for fucking anything.
Oh, and make audit trails for this shit public record. Someone creating AI videos or fake reports? Punish that too. It’ll never happen though. People want laws for others, not themselves.
About a month after surgery the implant started to perform poorly. They tweaked some software settings and now it’s running better than it did before the drop-off for a longer period, based on the actual blog post the story is talking about https://neuralink.com/blog/prime-study-progress-update-user-experience.
This is obviously prototype technology with insane risk. The guy only signed up because he’s paraplegic. It’s not in any way remotely ready for normal humans and probably won’t ever be in our lifetimes. IMO this is like self driving technology, it’s easy to promise the world but hard to actually accomplish what they say.
Why pay for the prime account? What are you getting out of it?
Have you done the math of what you could do with $140 per year instead?
Sounds like e911 or pots lines.
