I don't think that would even matter. Programs that run in a VM won't be able to "break out" on their own. They would need information that is only available from outside the simulation. Programs that *CAN* break out have been written by someone with intimate knowledge of VM architecture and code. I don't think humanity can do it on its own... it would need help from someone on the outside.
Oh, and the whole "we're running in a simulation" idea is ridiculous.
Well, he's right, you know. Go into your typical Best Buy, and almost all the POTS telephones are CORDLESS, and need AC current in order to charge the phone, operate the base station, and handle voice messaging. There are very few new phones for sale that run off the phone line current.
But then again, everyone should have one of those phones, in case of a power outage.
You should continue to feel good as a human. Humanity needs that. The other posters will want to tell you that it's not that an AI beat a human, but HOW it did: By learning. I'm taking a different approach: It's not about the performance of the AI. It's all about how playing the game makes you FEEL. Sure, the AI got the most kills, but what KIND of kills, and at what cost? Did it seek out and kill the only players who were out of ammo, and low on health? Did it ever sacrifice itself to protect an asset? Deathmatch was designed for humans to play against humans. So you can choose co-op on a whim to overcome a more powerful enemy, and then betray your allies at the last second. The AI cannot experience that.
So go ahead. Feel good as a human. And you can feel good for the fact that you know that the AI can NEVER feel good.
The pump shouldn't be connected to the internet... It doesn't need to be. It probably doesn't even need Bluetooth, but probably has some sort of remote diagnostic ability so it can dump log files.... But this whole thing is moot anyway. Didn't the FDA just approve a closed-loop artificial pancreas? It looks like a good time to upgrade, and feel better!
Birds and fish and Dolphins die all the time without help from humans. In fact, they were probably dying long before humans started polluting the oceans. The carcasses bloat up and float. They have to float SOMEWHERE, so why not that particular area? It's not unreasonable to think that the currents have made that area a graveyard for sea life. In fact, it's probably keeping the rest of the ocean relatively clean....
I remember PRISM. I also remember that when its existence was leaked, Google specifically went out of their way to ENCRYPT traffic between their data centers to prevent the PRISM from capturing any useful data. Before the leak, Google was unaware that any data capture was going on.
PRISM wasn't a Google initiative, it was an NSA initiative.
That explains why none of the links in the summary actually have any photos of A MILLION SQUARE KILOMETERS of trash floating in the Pacific. Just one photo would help us to understand.
Maybe they can also get the photo with a Dolphin crying in the foreground.
It's not the solid-state components that I'm worried about. It's the capacitors in the power supply, and the mechanism in the floppy drive. Either this machine has regular maintenance (and several spare power supplies on hand), or it has an amulet of +20 Luck.
I repaired a PC that was primarily used in an automotive repair facility. That's not dust. It's soot from the exhaust. Unsurprisingly, the CD-ROM drive in the machine that I was repairing was nonfunctional because the lens was dirty.
You're right, though. I have no idea how that floppy drive is still operational after 30+ years.
It's even more painful for me. I live in the same state that Digikey is located, so I have a real problem paying that much for shipping when it's not going very far. However, I live far enough from their location so that it's not worth it to drive there. (I don't know if they even offer will-call)

They wouldn't prevent the uprisings, but maybe they could just short a bunch of stocks and make a lot of money.
Conclusion: We need more behaviorists teaching HUMANS!
RedBox down the street.
I never knew the bible was metric. I always thought it was some weird base-12 bullshit.
It smells like RALPH in here.
Was there LSD in the sandwiches?
How long will it take?

Oh my god, it's worse than we thought. Those poor employees can't even afford FOOD!

Reconfigure your keyboard. You don't need to use WASD for doom. Try Right-Mouse for FORWARD instead. Your finger will thank you.
Sorry for the 20-year late message.

Couldn't they just say "Designed by Google", or did Apple already copyright that?
EMACS can't start my system.
WTF? Then you're just wrecking the reviews for what may be a perfectly good product that might be available from a different vendor.
They should be ashamed for calling something so technical and scientific "SMARF".
When Yahoo announced that they suspected they were hacked by "state-sponsored actors", my first question was "Well, how do they know?".
They don't seem to know who did it, but they already know that the hackers were state sponsored? That seems really fishy.
No kidding. Reddit is not the place to ask a technical question. Reddit is the place to post a JPG if you want it modified to be something ridiculous.
Seriously? He was asking Reddit how to do a global search and replace? He should have been just using Google.
