Mister Facetious posted:A friend of mine I wouldn't normally consider as cynical as I am says it's a ploy to get free overtime from their workers and/or rent-seek a bailout from the Government of the United States of America (insert "you're either with us or Putin!" rhetoric here). The article says he demanded people come back and work over the holiday weekend, so yes.

Main Paineframe posted:Here's the thing: cellphones have been around for a fair few years at this point, so it's very unlikely that they were responsible for a sudden massive spike that started in 2020. I was one of the first to do research in this area in 2001, comparing handheld to handsfree. It's nothing new.

Epic High Five posted:Blindsight, if you dig that look into his other stuff, which tends to go a little off in the weeds, but Blindsight is imho him at his best. My favorite genre of literature is weird old combloc sci-fi though. Watts has said explicitly that he set it in the near future and built the world based on present trends and models, which isn't to say he doesn't take some BIG creative liberties I found Ministry for the Future incredibly optimistic, tbh, once you get past the first 25%. Unless that's what you're also saying, I can't really tell.

PT6A posted:I bought my headset pretty much exclusively for flight simulation, and I have to say it's pretty much the definition of "truly wonderful VR experience." It was, if anything, extremely undersold as to how great it actually is. And I think that's the use-case for VR more generally: experiences that are expensive or difficult or dangerous or even outright impossible in real life. And I honestly don't think it has to be "gamified" per se. Is there any kind of space flight simulator? KSP VR?

I think research and summarization are things machine learning is good for. Making novel arguments is not currently possible. I'm currently trying to get chatgpt to create a new philosophical argument against itself based on Walter Benjamin's The Role of Art the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. So far, it simply can not extrapolate a new thought, only repeating the arguments it already "knows" from the text.

https://www.reuters.com/technology/white-house-gives-agencies-30-days-impose-federal-device-tiktok-ban-2023-02-27/ WASHINGTON, Feb 27 (Reuters) - The White House on Monday gave government agencies 30 days to ensure they do not have Chinese-owned app TikTok on federal devices and systems. Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young told agencies in a guidance memorandum seen by Reuters they will be required to adjust information technology contracts to ensure vendors keep U.S. data safe by eliminating the use of TikTok on their devices and systems. TikTok has said the concerns are fueled by misinformation. The action does not affect the more than 100 million Americans who use TikTok on private or company-owned devices. Congress in December voted to bar federal employees from using the Chinese-owned video app on government-owned devices and gave the Biden administration 60 days to issue agency directives. The vote was the latest action by U.S. lawmakers to crack down on Chinese companies amid national security fears that Beijing could use them to spy on Americans. Federal Chief Information Security Officer Chris DeRusha said "this guidance is part of the Administration’s ongoing commitment to securing our digital infrastructure and protecting the American people’s security and privacy." Many government agencies including the White House, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and the State Department had banned TikTok from government devices before the vote. The TikTok ban does not apply if there are national security, law enforcement or security research activities but agency leadership must approve these activities, Young's memo said. The memo said within 90 days, agencies must address any use of TikTok by IT vendors through contracts and with 120 days agencies will include a new prohibition on TikTok in all new solicitations. The federal contractor ban applies to equipment used in government work but does not "include any equipment acquired by a federal contractor incidental to a federal contract."
