The SSD thing is totally understandable — one of the ways developers get around the limitations of mobile devices is taking advantage of SSD’s vastly better throughputs, which they can do, because mobile devices don’t have HDDs, and nobody had to consider them in their design approaches. It also means those developers

Remember, the currency of Hollywood is hype and public perception.

“Looking for employee. Many positions available. Pays $0.00 - $10,000,000 annually.”

Woe be to humanity the day the wealthy 1% truly take the coming calamity seriously, because they, being so completely disconnected from the reality of the world the rest of us live in, will come to a single, inescapable realization — the best way to ‘save’ our world is to eliminate the other 99% of humanity. Or, more

AIs have gotten good at recognizing somewhat abstract ‘concepts.’ So I can’t help but wonder if there wouldn’t be a way to train an AI system to find these biases, making it easier to create more balanced training datasets for other AIs to use from the start.

It’s almost as if all these ‘studies’ and ‘research projects’ — and anyone reporting on them — should be required to have immediate disclaimers and disclosures, at the start, about who’s funding them and just what level of involvement or influence they can or may have regarding the ‘findings’ that come from said

The money funding developments in this arena is massive. So yes, even a few years can make a big difference. And, well, discovering what does or doesn’t work is a learning process. Sometimes those lessons need to be learned more than once, too.

Further evidence that *EVERYONE* Trump and Republicans ‘appointed’ during his term were unfit for the job and should have been removed the moment Biden took office. If you don’t take steps to cut down cronyism at every turn, it *WILL* take steps to ensure you never get a chance.

If Liam can get the voice right, the two actors look similar enough that sufficient scruff (bearded Geralt?) and the white wig can handle the rest of the difference relatively seamlessly. But he has to get the voice right.

In a consumer-heavy society, having ‘employees’ working more hours is actually — I know this is going to sound strange — counter productive. Why? Because the bulk of any employee consumption happens largely when they’re not at work. The more time people spend at work, the less time they have to consume, the less money

CA desperately needs to throw out the property-tax legislation that has kept property taxes from properly appreciating in step with property value. That has strangled off a significant chunk of the state’s revenue...and almost exclusively to the benefit of the state’s wealthiest citizens. It has also negatively impacte

Most executives are *IDIOTS* — literally, creatively, or some variant thereof. They didn’t become executives on account of the *THINGS* they know, but because of the *PEOPLE* they know. Their real-world skills and knowledge are virtually nil, because they’ve never actually had to prove themselves and can blame all

Anyone who thought this wasn’t a foregone conclusion clearly hasn’t been paying attention to literally ANY part of human history. The only time humanity has ever united on any significant scale, it was to wage war on one another. That’s it. That is the only ‘great unifier’ in human history -- killing each other.

Why, it’s almost as if biased people create biased algorithms that simply further reinforce those same biases....

This could be a good thing...if he gets enough of the creative power and oversight to replicate Feige’s position within Disney and Marvel. Because the *LACK* of someone like Feige handling DC’s properties has consistently been their undoing. On the other hand, if he constantly gets stonewalled by someone like Perlmutte

A scam artist for the Prime Minister. I suppose that’s on the same level as a con artist for the President. “Anything you can screw, I can screw better.”

That’s being generous. It has yet to be determined if she even has one.

Yeah, but as long as it remains business as usual for fossil fuel companies, sacrificing those people is for the greater greatest good. I mean, come on — won’t someone think of the billionaires?? [/sarcasm]

You other posts on this same subject (even right here) strongly contradicts your assertion that you can make your own decisions about what is misinformation. Or rather, that you can make *GOOD* decisions...
