I’ll add that things should also fail gracefully. If something breaks, they should all revert back to working like the dumb equivalent. Dumb switches, dumb thermostat, etc.

This is why both parents should get parental leave. I just took care of all the nights and slept through half the day while my partner handled those hours. Neither of us had to deal with sleep deprivation.

I don’t understand the problem with the car in front doing a U-turn. How does that increase the probability of rear-ending or missing a light? Even if it were a regular turn, some people turn faster and some slower, some people take longer to respond to a light change, and some wait for a larger clearance in oncoming traffic before turning. Whatever they decide to do, you just follow their lead.

And you’re saying that those two things are somehow contradictory? Because if so, I don’t see how. If this super intelligent computer knows how you’re going to choose ahead of time, then it must also know how the coin is going to land ahead of time.

I don’t know what you’re getting at. Did I say something to suggest I misunderstood this part?

This is a hypothetical where a human beings actions can all be predicted with high accuracy. Your actions are constantly being influenced by the inputs you receive, so in order to predict your behavior, you’d also need to predict everything you’re going to be experiencing. This necessarily includes the results of that coin flip and the Geiger counter readings.

If you do write one, have it post on Lemmy. This is the kind of automated feed I’d like to see here.

In my opinion, grilled cheeses really need that bit of acidity to be great grilled cheeses.

Pressure cook a whole rotisserie chicken (bones, meat, and all) for 20ish minutes for amazing chicken stock.

Better yet, eat the meat and pressure cook the bones. You still get great chicken stock, and also get to enjoy some good chicken. If one bird doesn’t give you enough bones, freeze it until you accumulate enough.

Having a shitty day-to-day life tends to make minor inconveniences extra infuriating, and vice versa.

https://amiunique.org/ shows you many of the things they can check for

It takes the same amount of ink to print regardless of whether you do it yourself or if someone else does it. You can also just store it in its original digital form. Put it on your hard drive, or an external drive, or on magnetic tape, or on the cloud, or anywhere else.

A hash is any kind of mapping from the raw data into a fixed length piece of data. This is usually preferable when you don’t want to store the actual data but you want to be able to verify with some degree of certainty that the data hasn’t changed. As an example, for tabular data, you can hash each column by computing the mean. If the data changes, then that mean will likely change too.

You can download the data. You can keep multiple copies in different places and also hashes to make sure you can catch it if anything changes.

If I understand correctly, the information you’re talking about is basically raw data, right? What would you be doing with it that a hard copy makes more sense than digital data?

Those same competitors exist even if you steal from them. If raising prices means they make less profit due to those competitors, then they can’t raise prices to offset losses either.

I’m pretty sure that doesn’t work for small corporations where no one else even knows you exist. The share value is likely just going to be the company’s net asset value.

Pricing in the loss only makes sense if it recovered any of the losses. And if it did, I’m pretty sure they would’ve already done it regardless of whether there’s any loss since it would just be pure profit in its absence.

That’s easy to do. You just check that the username exists. If someone enters a wrong username/password pair, you can still check that the username exists, but how do you know that the user intended to log in with that username? You would also have to check every other username to see if the password matches, and that can’t be done with a simple search because you need to compute a different hash for each user you check. Then if the username exists and the password also happens to match someone else’s password, then what do you report? Should you even report it? Because doing so reveals that someone had that specific password, and if the list of usernames is publicly available (which they often are, or could become public through a leak of some sort), then you can brute force over a small set of usernames to match them up.

Looks like green bell pepper rings to me. That’s a common pizza topping.
