It’s not hard to find out what’s being pirated, BitTorrent isn’t private.

If you don’t think centralized currency controlled by neo-liberal capitalist states isn’t a problem to solve, we aren’t even in the same plane here.

friend of mine had a ford like this. and it cost more than the car to fix after only 10-15ish years of use. its terrible.

Yeah, that’s just how it goes as the engine becomes more complex, leaving a dipstick there is not gonna change that…

This is a reactionary response, you’re just arguing, slow down a bit.

Do you see a value in a check engine light that tells you something is wrong in between full inspections? This is similar, this is telling you there isn’t enough oil and damage is occurring before you get a chance to inspect the dipstick.

It’s not planned obsolescence unless they also make it unreasonable to service. We already expect to routinely service engines, and they are already very complex and full of sensors, sure this is adding to the complexity but it’s relatively pretty minor.

The argument being made, and I agree with it, is that the benefits of an additional long-serving sensor way outweigh the con of having one additional sensor in your car. You get early warning before damage occurs, you get built in fraud protection when you’re changing your oil at a shady chain, you eliminate a direct access port for dirt to contaminate the oil.

Just because it’s built on a block chain doesn’t mean they relinquished control and decentralized it. But it’s a platform that allows you to decentralize.

Is this worth it as an upgrade to our existing centrally controlled currency? That’s a different discussion.

Does it solve the problem blockchain provides a solution for? Does it allow for decentralization? It appears the answer is no.

The opportunity to take you usb drive and copying its content real quick while you are distracted momentarily is eliminated. I can then decrypt it by calling the guy I know.

But I can’t call the guy I know with the $50 setup that can extract the data for me in that time. It’s not 100% unbreakable, but that doesn’t have to be the criteria…

I was hoping to find an answer the original question in this dialog.

There’s a difference between saying “the secure enclave holds the biometric data securely and locally in a verifiable way with no mechanism to retrieve the actual data” and “trust them, don’t worry about it”

The laser didn’t generate 2 quadrillion watts like a power plant would generate electricity, but it delivered that much power in an extremely short pulse, like 20 quadrillionths of a second.

That means the energy it delivered was relatively small (a few hundred joules), but because it was delivered in such a tiny time window, the power (which is energy per unit time) was immense.

The laser did produce power, in the form of intense light and heat, over a very small time period. It converted 2 quadrillion watts of electric energy into a very brief laser pulse.

The original WSL doesn’t use the Linux kernel at all, it’s a Windows Subsystem for compatibility with Linux. WSL2 actually visualizes a complete Linux kernel, but the name stuck.

This is already a solved problem, we’re well past one model systems, and any competitive AI offering can augment its information from the Internet.

No, they said they “ruled out” privacy for “obvious reasons”.

Obviously mockable statement.
