ironically, the collapse of the global economy is what could save us

Does this mean that apks that i've built and installed through adb will stop working? That would be a real damn shame.

Perhaps someone could have some fun with this...

Feeding faked looped security camera footage is a classic plot device in many films, and could make some good comedy!

These days you could do with AI. Godzilla over Tokyo anyone?

Many positives. For example, the buildings get to be maintained and left in a better condition, rather than deteriorate. Streets look better too, and landrods have an interest that their assets are located in areas with low crime and adequate public services, as that improves the value of their properties. Often airbnb properties are well maintained, and I've seen a few examples where derelict properties were turned into nice looking houses in my town.

Landlords such as Airbnb hosts usually invest a lot in furniture and equipment, helping to keep the producers in business. Not to mention provide employment thanks to renovations, cleaning and maintenance. I'd say it leaves the economy more vibrant and benefits all. A classic example where landlords were banned was the Soviet Union, and all the housing problems that followed. Although the USSR finally collapsed, people there still live in the old Khrushchevkas...

Highly unlikely. Just the energy cost of running centrifuges, let alone manufacturing them is impossible to hide. It's staggering when you consider it.

To put some more perspective, an LLM could show you how to make a Boeing 747 in detail, but the actual chance of someone making one with no tools and logistics would be 0.

LLMs haven't changed the economic realities.

you can already get that information by reading books in the library.

The biggest barrier is not information, it's the ability to secure enough of the materials and equipment.

For example, information for how to make a nuclear weapon is already there in the library. However, mining enough yellow cake and then purifying it is an industrial scale operation, out of reach unless you are a nation state, and have good mountain tunnels, etc. To a lesser extent, this is also true for producing chemical weapons. The theory is there, but actual production extremely out of reach. No LLM can help you there. (You can verify by reading up on Aum Shinrikyo to get an idea of the staggering scale required)

it doesn't matter if it's 29 or 2900. Even 1 is wrong.

freshwater lakes have shellfish too, so it doesn't automatically mean that place was a sea.

Meanwhile, I cannot ask ChatGTP how to pick my own lock. Even though this information is available in a book in the library.

Cpanel is Perl, not PHP. Probably the grayest of the gray beards. Perhaps not enough Perl Wizards left to maintain it nowadays.

Similar, but not the same. Japan is more strict. There is also no Castle Doctrine, so you have to retreat even if you are in your home.

another thing in Japan is that you can get arrested for self defence. Say if someone starts attacking you on the street, and eg. you punch back causing an injury, when you could have simply ran away and escaped, then you can get arrested and held for 23 days as a suspect.

So say if someone shoves you on a subway in Tokyo, do not ever shove back or do anything worse. Move away, get witnesses / evidence if you can, then report. (I've also witnessed an attacker try to exploit this rule, where they would intentionally injure themselves during the conflict and then claim that the defendant did it, so be aware of that)

Oh, and other things that can get you arrested:

- Not promptly returning someone's lost property such as a wallet. There was a case here in the newspapers recently.

- A review about a business that damaged their reputation, even if it was true (but you don't have 100% evidence). eg. "I got food poisoning from here". Be very careful what you post and say online as defamation laws are very different.

oh, and maybe not arrested, but get in trouble for: if you place your household rubbish into not your designated collection point, even though the point is the closest to your home. (Also don't get me started on the topic of sorting trash...)

Seems reasonable to assume it's something to do with the recently publicized exploits. More likely, this could be an extortion attempt by criminals rather than a competitor.

This is a new space race. From a geopolitical level, a nation that has a better presence on the moon will have a better strategic advantage.

It has profound foundational influence that continues to this day.

Also, England doesn't need to do anything to ensure that influence of English culture is maintained in the US either.

For as long as we still speak the English language, English culture will continue to live "rent free" in our heads, and that's not going away anytime soon.

This is often cited as a "soft power".

it's ironic though, that you wrote your comment in English.

I'd imagine that a transpiler for Perl with this idea would make one-liners even more potent.

Look at books: You can go to your local public library and borrow any book for free, yet new books are still made under that system.

For now you may need a warrant. However, after just a simple law change, it will all be available without a warrant. I'm not saying there will be a law change, only saying that it brings us one step closer to data.

Recently the USA blew out some some boats in international waters and came back to finish off the survivors, despite thin evidence and no due process, while maintaining that it was legal. If those data centers on ships ever become declared as a 'threat to national security' then they might get the same treatment.

Why wouldn't this physical sign be the same? "If you step your foot over this stone, you agree to the following terms:"

Also, the Indonesia that most Australians only ever visit is Bali, which is mostly Hindu.

back in my day, we had these buildings called 'libraries' which were filled wall-to-wall with many different types of copyright material. Mainly books, but also comics, newspapers and magazines, that you could legally read and also borrow and take home for a few days, for FREE!!

different provinces have different demographics and therefore slightly different sentiment?

sometimes swap seems to accumulate even though there is plenty of ram. It is too "greedy" by default, probably set for desktops not servers in mind.

Therefore it is better to always tune "vm.swappiness" to 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf

You can also configure your web server / TCP stack buffers / file limits so they never allocate memory over the physical ram available. (eg. in nginx you can setup worker/connection limits and buffer sizes.)

this is the same thing with wifi. There are different channels and transmission power rules depending on country. Something you cannot change even if you are root or build your own kernel, as it's built in to the wifi hardware (eg. raspberry pi)

The US is not defending Taiwan for the sake of "supporting its people" it or because of TSMC. It's actually because Taiwan is part of the "First island chain", and it's crucial in keeping China away from taking the Pacific Ocean and threatening the US west coast. The US will throw everything it has to defend it. It is absolutely vital to US territorial security. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_island_chain

my pixel 2 is still rocking too, what an amazing device! (although it now I only use it for flappy bird..) Highly disappointed that Google stopped updates a long time ago.
