That really depends how you measure and define intelligence and does a disservice to them.

Toddlers for example dont tend to have gang wars for territories and certainly couldnt do battle outcome predictions from a glance at a group across thick canopy and the sounds of branches and hollering.

Preventing spam may not be possible for much longer without verified IDs considering how advanced ai agents are.

Do any fully trustable ID validation services exist? Ones that verifiably never store your ID but just a validity status for a given ID on a blockchain?

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

A thousand bots can spread a thousand lies faster than we can dispell them, but giving up the public square to them is worse.

What a situation...

I think their point is that most peoole aware of the time period know child labour in factories was prominent, especially thanks to Dickens and other authors, so most would guess or be unsurprised to find these cable factories employed children.

Some programs are error resistant and need an additional level: Fatal.

A warning can be ignored safely. Warnings may be 'debugging enabled, results cannot be certified' or something similar.

An error should not be ignored, an operation is failing, data loss may be occurring, etc.

Some users may be okay with that data loss or failing operation. Maybe it isnt important to them. If the program continues and does not error in the parts that matter to the user, then they can ignore it, but it is still objectively an error occurring.

A fatal message cannot be ignored, the system has crashed. Its the last thing you see before shutdown is attempted.

Losing devs that built a service, its infrastructure, build pipelines, tests, etc. Can sometimes mean losing deep knowledge.

Sometimes an issue arises and without that deep knowledge you'll be waiting weeks for a fix. Better hope it isnt a critical issue like a serious vulnerability or that you can hire the deep knowledge on a temporary consultancy contract.

Sometimes services are fully rewritten from scratch because the new devs cant get a build of the old service to compile/run/do the thing™.

The f35, the growler, awacs, etc. Mean there will be nowhere close enough to launch low cost fpvs against the west in a war. Air dominance is what we do.

Look what happened to iran and all their air defences when f35s showed up lol.

So then youre left with shahed style drones that have range but are still fairly slow, loud, lack good guidance in jammed environments and will be shot down easily.

So you put better guidance on them so they dont need satellite connections and make them stealthy...oh wait now its just a regular ass cruise missile.

Im shocked i had to scroll so far to find a real hard stop blocker mentioned.

Valve has no reason to care about using the HDMI trademark. Consumers dont care if it says HDMI 2.1 or HMDI 2.1 Compatible.

The connector isnt trademarked and neither is compatibility.

The oss nature of isnt one either as valve could just release a compiled binary instead of open sourcing it.

The 'get sued for copying the leak' argument implies someone would actually fancy going toe to toe with valves legal team which so far have rekt the eu, activision, riot games, microsoft, etc. in court.

Proving beyond doubt that valve or their devs accessed the leaks would be hard. Especially if valve were clever from the get go, and lets face it, they probably were. Theyre easily one of the leanest, most profitable, and savviest software companies around.

Am a young dev but it shocks me how few of my fellow developers actually consider tech from the ground up.

Most just say 'x has y, we can use that', even when x does a thousand other things and we only want y.

They completely skip the design phase of Y because they have X.

If you design something with actual minimal requirements, ignoring frameworks and language choices, you may end up using X to do Y, but youll at least know what your system should be doing under the hood.

The thought of designing something from scratch seems to be an alien concept these days.

In raw cpu and gpu performance terms it is quite weak compared to other flagships.

You dont notice unless youre gaming or encoding video or doing other heavy workloads. The daily driver experience is very smooth.

The cameras and camera software is in the top 5 consistently though, the screens are also really good, so its a mixed bag hardware wise.

Equally lets not forget that china sees this as a key strategic necessity for a forced reunification attempt on taiwan, both for national security and the ability to produce chips solo.

Two things can be true. They can have great engineers and government money. Theyre not mutually exclusive.
