Wikipedia isn’t important because of its data. Rather because of the fact it is continuously updated, extended, and fixed at a gigantic scale.

If Wikipedia ever dies, its information will lose relevance by the day. After a decade or two without a similar-scale replacement, will anyone even care?

Bing/DDG has also blocked the emulation wiki (https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/) for some reason. I noticed when I forgot the domain and tried looking for the site.

For the record, Google returns it as the top result.

Reason #186729 why it’s insane to have no right to privacy in public.

Fun fact: Recording the public is illegal in Germany. Any private video camera must only be able to record your own property. If you do record (and store - smart doorbells without storage that are only active when they are rung are exempted) material you must have visible warnings (that others can see BEFORE being recorded) or else any evidence you collect is likely to be thrown out in court.

Could it make testing less conclusive? Part of testing is to see whether people actually enjoy the game. And I’d conjecture immersion-breaking placeholder assets could lead to worse testing reviews.

Mostly because Apple’s update policy is superior to A LOT of Android companies. OEMs are really slow when patching known vulnerabilities.

Quick study I found when trying to find evidence:

https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/16-Acar-A-Device-Centric-Analysis-of-Android-Security-Updates.pdf

Example from that study:

Compared to the top three OEMs we examined so far, Google is the one with the most stable support behavior. All of the Pixel devices receive monthly security updates without any delay or missed SPLs [Security Patch Levels]

It’s utterly insane this is noteworthy. Not delaying security updates for KNOWN vulnerabilities should not be exemplary.

It’s in the AUR.

Me too. I’ll even make them full AI.

Please send me $2 billion by Tuesday. My salary as yetAnotherUser CEO & CTO is a modest 20 million/year. Results are expected to appear by 2030.

To be honest, DNA is stupid anyway. Worst data format ever invented.

I mean, a single mutation to get sickle cell anemia? Use fucking error correction codes, dammit! No, having everything twice is not error correction. It’s only error detection and the detected error is just silently ignored and randomly passed on to your offspring.

Where are the damn backups? 3-2-1 should hold for every data format! How would an offsite backup be designed? I don’t know I’m not evolution incorporated.

Why are viruses even a thing??? There is no reason EVER to be able to insert new DNA into your genome. Make it read only! With checksums! Why is there no Denuvo DNA-DRM?

Slightly unrelated but even worse, your immune system is literally only controlled by the equivalent of HTTP. Deactivate completely? Attack everything on sight? No authorization required whatsoever! Just use the public API! Surely nothing could exploit this, right??

Small Edit as a response to everyone mentioning the need to change for evolution:

Maybe, just maybe use a test environment? You don’t just push to production the moment you make a change. Move fast and break things my ass. Since women already have the production environment just create a similar structure in men! They already have TESTicles after all.

Maybe English should just get rid of the stupid “the first consonant is silent when two consonants form the beginning of a word” rule tbf.

It’s a skill issue to mispronounce loan words (like gnome, pterodactyl or psychology).

Block and move on if you care so much about someone not conforming to grammar conventions in the most harmless manner imaginable.

Just imagine your comment under someone using all lower case letters instead of capitalizing Proper Nouns and the beginning of sentences.

Hasn’t he admitted to changing his opinion after learning about the effects on children? I’m not in the loop about this.

But yeah, you definitely shouldn’t treat his words as gospel. A lot of questionable-at-best stuff in there.

I sometimes like to read his political posts:

And honestly? I mostly agree with them? Like this:

ABC ordered to pay Antoinette Lattouf another $150,000 for unlawful termination over Gaza Instagram post.

But a company faced with enormous threats wielded by fascist officials who demand that certain views be suppressed will treat such penalties as the normal cost of sucking up.

The [Israeli] army says that HAMAS is using apartment buildings for “surveillance”, and has bombed some of those buildings to destroy them. Based on this logic, the army might bomb every tall building in Gaza City with the large bombs that the US is providing

He has some questionable beliefs as well, though for unusual reasons. He accepts non-binary people but refuses to use they/them pronouns because he doesn’t like the ambiguity of singular/plural pronouns. So he has invented the neopronouns per/pers to refer to singular non-binary persons. I genuinely think no other person on this planet could hold this opinion.

Do we know this?

I suspect they usually compress videos at most a couple times (for each resolution) and then keep the results cached somewhere. At least for popular videos that combined take up 99% of bandwidth. For 0 views videos I’d imagine they only store the highest resolution and compress it further down on demand.

I’d argue DRMing all those popular videos would take up so much computing power it cannot be offset by ads.

DRM is expensive. Very expensive in fact because it is basically non-trivial encryption.

A website with as much traffic as YouTube cannot afford to DRM every single video stream. There just isn’t enough processing power and electricity available.

Netflix et al. have a tiny fraction of YouTube’s traffic with more income per user due to subscriptions.

Plus YouTube’s storage demands are many orders of magnitude larger. A maximum upper bound for Netflix is 1 PB I’d imagine. Archiveteam alone has selectively downloaded more than 3 PB. YouTube has, I’d imagine, a double digit exabyte amount of data stored + backups.

In the EU platforms can be found guilty for what they publish though. It is the platform’s responsibility and duty to check whether their content is violating the law or not.

If a German newspaper were to publish an ad advocating for the murder of an ethnic group, both the creator of the ad and the newspaper would face charges.

I can’t say much more about the rest but there are certainly legal standards for boxing that need to be abided for a boxing event to be legal. This includes having medical staff on site, a referee which manages the match, gloves being mandated for the boxers etc. If these standards aren’t held, you can charge a boxer for participating in an illegal fight and manslaughter should the other boxer die.

If this were actually done to children/teens surely their brains would not form any associations between being restrained and horny, right?

$ yes no

AI was never more than algorithms which could be argued to have some semblance of intelligence somewhere. It’s sole purpose was marketing by scientists to get funding.

Since the 60s everything related to neural networks is classified as AI. LLMs are neural networks, therefore they fall under the same label.

Duckduckgo uses Bing which has deindexed a couple of sites.

I have found the emulation wiki to no longer show up through DDG. It’s the first result on Google but DDG gives you just Fandom garbage.
