What is an “AI storage service”?

Does that mean you just store your info in AI weights/contexts and hope it can regenerate an approximation of what you put in?

For sure, that’s a long standing one.

It does look blue through skin and it’s a much darker red, more maroon than proper “red”.

I mean, I quoted where he literally said that.

Yes, one can give him the benefit of the doubt as he is a fucking idiot. But fuck that, he’s in a position where the words he says are taken at face value and will and have killed people.

Even if his heart were in the right place and he were merely stupid, there is no reason to defend this shit.

They’re all wasted, does it matter if it’s “fluff” or not?

No. Blood is red regardless of oxygen.

And then I see the disinfectant [bleach], where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning.

So he didn’t specify bleach as the disinfectant of choice. He definitely suggested that injecting disinfectant would be a possible solution. I agree, and he should go first.

My opinion is that the federal government should be mostly irrelevant. About as significant as the EU government, thereabouts.

That’ll be a risk if you have pure sodium fluoride sitting around. Fortunately “no one” does. (Yes, industrial toothpaste manufacturing workers might have an opportunity to be exposed to such a thing).

Typical toothpaste is 1000-1100 ppm of sodium fluoride. “Prescription strength” is about 5000 ppm. So to hit your target LD50 you need to eat around 10 g of toothpaste per kg. Assuming on the extremely small end (40 kg bodyweight): if I did my math right, that’s about 400 g of prescription strength toothpaste, or more than two (170 g) tubes.

Normal toothpaste (1100 ppm) for a normal person (80 kg female average), you need to eat more than 22 tubes of toothpaste to kill half the people involved.

Thats just stupid, there’s zero risk of any of that happening.

True but not a large risk unless you eat like 5 toothpaste tubes a day or something like that.

the problem isn’t the electoral college itself. It’s that the United States is not a country, It’s a federal system.

That’s not a problem, it’s a good thing.

Yeah but these were self-contained and small enough to fit on a floppy disk. You definitely could have just copied them.

I like the way you write, FWIW.

Last time I went round with someone on this, they insisted that this is just normal business procedure to order product on credit.

To me, while trade credit is definitely a thing, for orders this large I expect there’s some more substantial backing for it.

Ultimately it probably fits in somewhere on a chart of financial shenanigans like this one:

I think it’s more like “we need 6 million chips for this year, and we’ll pay you eventually, maybe”.

But yeah the outcome is the same.

Yeah but the main reason for all those copyright law differences comes down to “greed, money, and control” as the other replies explain.

That’s complete bullshit:

Software I’ve written is owned by me.

Open-source licenses (F/LOSS) mostly cannot be revoked.

Public domain exists.

…never?

ETA can mean “edited to add”

Ah, I meant in the comics themselves. If they want to “advertise” on their page or whatever, more power to them.

This is what I see when I look at warandpeas.com — there’s the name of the comic but nothing that I would call a watermark or an advertisement.

I don’t agree. I just want to know who made the art. Attribution is not the same as advertising.

A Patreon link or a watermark I could see as advertising, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen that directly on a comic image.

Do you have some actual examples?
