It's getting their works digested by Amazon's LLMs.

Does it if you know, though..?

IMO, even involving location and private data in the digital ecosystem that includes a centralized LLM is a very unwise thing to do.

We both know that LLMs can and will spit out ANYTHING in their training data regrdless of how many roadblocks are put up and protective instructions given.

While they're not necessarily feeding outright personal info (of the general public, anyways) in to their LLMs' models, we should also both know how slovenly greedy these cunt corpos are. It'll only be a matter of time before they're feeding everything they clearly already have in.

At that point, it won't just be creep factor, but a legitimate doxxing problem.

Because most people conscously or subconcously expect better treatment towards pets than other fellow humans. It's like children. Unless you're an Israeli or conservative looking at a brown child, nobody stans child abusers.

Not all advertising is equal. Yes, increasing awareness pays off.

That doesn't mean your product putting a one minute ad up on YouTube that gets pasted in front of a 10 second cat video will have a positive response.

lol so you defend that which you do not even use and that which you do not undertand? What a joke...

My hatred is anything but blind, and you calling it such is sealioning beyond belief. I love your hypocrisy... An Apple user without even using Apple products... Truly, your lot in life is more dreary than you could ever admit.

Definitely wrong, although I do not have a collegiate off-hand understanding of biology to really fully decribe it.

But it comes down to what does a "cell" mean in biology? Even your case in point specifies an object with many cells in it.

Cell membranes don't use simple diffusion to transport chemicals across. That's the entire point of a "cell". It's a defined region that at least attempts to control its own various chemical balances. Cells do have many gates that allow many molecules across, unfortunately including many viruses and prions. Unfortuntely, cell walls are also not impervious to truly toxic chemicals, either, so a "cell wall" still can absolutely break down with minimal effort with the right chemicals. They do attempt to control their own balances though, including basic ionic content. That's the whole point. The attempt.

I really have to ask... Why do you think humans aren't so big on the scale of life? Your perspective really come across as human-centric. Not "bad" by itself, but still wholly incompatible with reality.

The thing that does change in relation to diffusion at scale is the necessity of circulatory and respertory systems, which is a massive order of magnitude or few increase in complexity than cells.

Try literally trillions. Billions is literally several orders of magnitude less than reality.

Again, most people literally cannot fathom the scales. Not as an insult, but to point out the literal scale. (god I'm such a millenial with all those 'literals', but it's true...)

Agile SHOULD have a lot of the things 'traditional' management looks for! Though so many, including many college teachers I've heard, think of it way too strictly.

It's just the time scale shrinks as necessary for specific deliverable goals instead of the whole product... instead of having a design for the whole thing from top to bottom, you start with a good overview and implement general arch to service what load you'll need. Then you break down the tasks, and solve the problems more and more and yadda yadda...

IMO, the people that think Agile Development means only implement the bare minimum ... are part of the complete fucking idiot portion of the industry.

Fuck man, why don't more ethical-ish devs join to make stuff? What's the missing link on top of easy sharing like FOSS kinda' already has?

Obviously programming is a bit niche, but fuck... how can ethical programmers come together to survive under capitalism? Sure, profit sharing and coops aren't bad, but something of a cultural nexus is missing in this space it feels...

The result in the end should be an organized series of events, a process, that takes or produces data. The data can be anything from a single number in a calculator, to a text message, to your entire social profile. The process can be anything from basic math, to advanced math (i.e. machine learning, rendering, cryptography, etc), to performing simple operations on that data like shuffling that data somewhere else.

These processes are stacked on top of each other and utilized with basic logic (if, else, loops, scope, etc) and combined together with a myriad of programming patterns and algorithms, to produce higher and higher orders of complexity, that eventually solve a real-world problem.

The result is an ever increasing complexity of useful tools and processes that can either solve specific problems directly or at least provide discovery for other useful tools and processes that might.

It's translating higher order problems from something understandable at the task level all the way down until a piece of specialized rock that only understands on and off can eventually spit out a meaningful result.

ok ok electrical engineers get the claim for the last sentence, and plenty of the real-world complexity, but hopefully it illustrates my point that 'nothing' is ... just wrong. We cannot discount the absolute importance of abstract things. Everything from "imaginary" numbers to completely abstract things like philosophy have real- world consequences. If programming produces nothing, then MOST jobs that aren't manual labor produce nothing.

The new Naked Gun, actually. The idea falls in to the same FUCK NO camp as every other god damn nostalgia grab from Hollywood in recent years. The plot is stupid, even compared to some of the old Leslie Nielsen movies that worked the plot developments in to jokes a bit better and naturally had more of their own humor than references .... buuuuut, the execution still had me straight up laughing out loud at quite a lot of it.

Really proving how intelligent Apple fans are with that reading comprehension... The argument referenced there is obviously referencing the arguments you brought up elsewhere on the internet between Apple fans and other fans.

It's not out of nowhere. This is a topic about how people maybe should not give Apple money if they don't want to support a corporation that will bow to fascists.

How stupid and captured their dumbass fans are is DIRECTLY related to how easy it'd be to convince them to not keep throwing money at Apple.

The fact you cannot even follow a basic conversation is the only pathetic thing here.
