Largely over my head, thought it might be of more use to some of the Rust people here. EDIT: article is called ‘Rust: A Critical Retrospective’
Bunnie is a hardware fellow, who just spent a few years learning Rust to (co-)write an OS for this amazingly cool project Precursor | Crowd Supply
I think I posted Precursor before, but now it’s actually ready to be shipped, if I’m understanding correctly. Anyone looking for an open hardware fully Rust-based Risc-V mobile development-board gadget thingie, here you are
So one of the general ideas in that article is that if Microsoft’s AI “CoPilot” is involved in the production of your software … then Microsoft may have a legal claim to it in some way??
The “plan” seems to be to use a social credit scoring mechanism combined with a health passport mechanism … then if they don’t like what you are doing or saying moment to moment (as monitored by AI), then they can simply lock you down by claiming your health passport is invalid.
That may seem like a stretch to some, but they are already doing it in China. … A week or three ago?, concerns began to circulate in China that some smaller banks were insolvent and many people attempted to go to their bank to withdraw their funds … but they were blocked by their covid status which abruptly changed.
Germany looks to be in real trouble … and given that the strength of the Euro depends a lot on the strength of Germany … then much of Europe could be in trouble - particularly the weaker high-debt load economies.
UBS economists laid out a detailed vision of what they see happening if Russia halts gas deliveries to Europe: It would reduce corporate earnings by more than 15%. The market selloff would exceed 20% in the Stoxx 600 and the euro would drop to 90 cents. The rush for safe assets would drive benchmark German bund yields to 0%
It’s never the haves who get into trouble when things become ugly … I guess Germany might have money to make others sell them gas in case this really becomes a problem…
Neural Net AI learns faster than animal … So, yeah, we are moving toward obsolescence as a dominant force on the planet.
The animal brain is divided into many sub-brains, which evolution has optimized for a range of learning. Once such optimizations and hierarchies can be artificially developed, then I would expect that such an artificial mind would be capable of learning faster than an animal mind … including a human.
Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems. (2022, July 18). Robot dog learns to walk in one hour: Virtual spinal cord is continuously optimized.
Only in case that they have LNG terminal but they have none. There is no enough capacity to substitute Russian gas from pipelines. Anyway it does not like Today that they would turn off North stream 1 for good.
Well works for BASH sh!tcoders like me … too bad we can’t just magic-search and have advanced fully-featured SN today! Keep hacking ants - closer every day.
