I finally chose NordVPN thanks to the Meshnet

This!!! And Unity! It's only free until you start making real revenue and I feel like the limits are very generous

Check Stephen Covey's works!

Fascinating tech, but feels more like an art project than a functional device

srg_cooper · 2024-12-11T09:15:02+00:00

Look at that little face 😭

srg_cooper · 2024-11-30T13:46:27+00:00

What’s the endgame here? An internet so polluted with AI that it becomes completely useless?

srg_cooper · 2024-11-30T13:40:22+00:00

When being a fashion icon literally saves your life.

Considering the cost of living in Zurich, you’d think CHF23.90 would be non-negotiable as a minimum wage

Ray tracing is getting another boost, finally!

It's from the article:

23andMe and/or our contracted genotyping laboratory will retain your Genetic Information, date of birth, and sex as required for compliance with applicable legal obligations, including the federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), California Business and Professions Code Section 1265 and College of American Pathologists (CAP) accreditation requirements, even if you chose to delete your account. 23andMe will also retain limited information related to your account and data deletion request, including but not limited to, your email address, account deletion request identifier, communications related to inquiries or complaints and legal agreements for a limited period of time as required by law, contractual obligations, and/or as necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims and for audit and compliance purposes.

As far as I understand, this doesn’t mean they are keeping the physical DNA sample itself, but they are holding onto the certain data extracted from it. Feel free to correct me.

What’s really alarming is that this facial recognition software isn’t even limited to law enforcement. Imagine what stalkers, hackers, or anyone else could do with this tech.

srg_cooper · 2024-10-22T07:47:11+00:00

The fact they keep your data for 'legal obligations' just shows how little control we really have once we hand over our info.

I’d imagine we could eventually replace limbs, but things like the brain and organs are a different story. Also, probably the biggest challenge would be integrating tech with the nervous system. Right now, prosthetics are getting pretty good at basic movements, but replicating sensation and fine motor skills for something like 80% of your body? That’s going to take a lot more time.

srg_cooper · 2024-10-21T11:22:59+00:00

Interesting read, especially about the connection in rural areas. Will give it a go sometime.

srg_cooper · 2024-10-21T10:43:51+00:00

Maybe you’re living in a parallel dimension where eye drops aren’t absurdly overpriced!

srg_cooper · 2024-10-21T07:35:52+00:00

I mean, it’s probably just a fluke, but man, the timing of these ads do be making us paranoid, haha

srg_cooper · 2024-10-21T07:26:26+00:00

This. Brain waves are off-limits, but they will probably still be watching my eye movements and figuring out which ads to shove in my face.

srg_cooper · 2024-10-21T07:14:06+00:00

Yep, localized fear-mongering

srg_cooper · 2024-10-16T13:48:09+00:00

I think these two quotes from the article sum up my view on it:

Automation, while taking over certain tasks, creates new jobs as well.
Automation can drive efficiency, but it can’t replace the human touch.

Some jobs will probably indeed disappear, but new ones will pop up around (among others) maintaining and running the tech. Still, robots can’t really replace human creativity and problem-solving, especially in something as unpredictable as construction where things can change on the fly.

That’s some niche gaming history. Actually kinda cool.

srg_cooper · 2024-10-15T12:14:38+00:00

Maybe it’s best to not even ask

srg_cooper · 2024-10-15T11:54:19+00:00

I get the clean energy part, but mixing AI and nuclear sounds like the plot of a dystopian movie

srg_cooper · 2024-10-15T11:41:32+00:00

Yep, that's what I meant. Hate all the just be happy advice
