"Yes the torment nexus didn't work out in the classic scifi novel "Don't build the torment nexus" but that was just because the people who built it where incompetent. Look, i am different, see I have billions of dollars I am definitely competent enough to make the torment nexus work."

It's not clear yet whether its within the law. There is multiple complaints regarding this being filed across the eu, and noyb is actively campaigning for this to be investigated. The argument is that gdpr demands the user being given a real choice. However, most sites pick the monthly fee at 4-5 €, which seems low but is actually very offputting and deliberately chosen such that most people accept cookies instead. A strong indicator for this is that a paid subscription nets the site about 3€ a month, while ad revenue per user per month is only about 0,25 €. So you would think they could offer a lot lower subscription fees. The fact that they won't means they really really want to track you and dark oattern you into accepting.

Weaving is actually where a lot of the logic for the first computing machines, in particular punched cards come from. On looms back then you would use punched cards to program the loom to weave complicated patterns.

Yes that would probably work. There could be some essential features of weapon parts that an algorithm might still be able to learn, and a printer could also keep track of previously printed parts for the classification. I think its unlikely that there are essential features of gun parts that are specific to gun parts so there would probably be a lot of false positives.

Yes that's probably how you would do this. Get a bunch of data of gcode of 3d printed gun parts and not-gun parts, for different slicers and printers. Then train some transformer as a classifier. Based on how good object recognition is, i would say its possible that you would get reasonably good accuracy and precision. And because you are scanning for code the architecture will likely be similar to an llm.

Its more that ypur payment provider will stop working with whatever platform/store your game is on if the platform doesn't require games to implement age verification.

So games would just generally stop working (out of the box) on linux, because steam or gog or whatever will only sell games that rely on OS age verification, because otherwise they would not be able to accept credit cards.

In order to avoid having to list exceptions to the above posts statement, you are now required to sprinkle a bit of sugar on every icecube you consume.

AI slop has just accelerated the downfall of search engines. Attention based economy, advertising and SEO are the reason you can't find anything useful anymore. The Internet itself is broken and even if there was a good search engine it would struggle to not suffocate in the seo crap out there.

Some ceramics heat up in the microwave. You have experienced this probably, whenever the bowl is searing hot but the food cold. That's when a thing is not microwave safe.

When it's microwave safe it won't absorb the waves and won't heat up.

Do you have a source for this? I find it very interesting and would like to understand how exactly that would work. I assume it has something to do with some genetic distance between people and triangulating.
