In medical/pharmaceutical context isn't "abuse potential" specific to drugs that feels good/get you high... Like street drugs? In the case I think OP means that people is abusing for the results instead. Like people that do too much plastic surgery and loose track of what they first wanted to improve.

People it this thread does not know what the Turing test actually tests. It is Ok, I guess the blame fails on pop culture.

The Turing test is not a test of sentience, it is a test if a machine can fool a human being into thinking it is sentient. And machines have passed this test for decades already. Who would have thought that our predisposition to anthropomorphize everything would make us so susceptible to thinking stuff is sentient 🤷

Public transit is common in my 3rd world country and I was surprised how more unsafe it feels in the US. My theory is that it is a by product of the car centric society. For one there is safety in numbers and because it is so underused any one person is more exposed. But also because almost the only people that take the public transit is people who cannot drive or be driven for some way or the other it inevitably have a bigger proportion of mentally unstable people for example.

It is. There is limitations to a Turing machine that a human brain does not have. I expand on that on this other comment here.

There's nothing to indicate the human brain can't be implemented in a Turing machine too.

That is not true, this is a research branch from computer science and math, it is called Computability theory, it deals with the limits of expressiveness for different types of theoretical machines and expressions, and the most expressive of all is the Turing machine, and a Turing machine cannot do some stuff, the classic example is the Halting problem, a computer cannot definitely say if an algorithm ever stops (mathematica proven that it cannot do it), but a human can do so quite easily.

One may think that maybe a Turing Machine cannot do something but can simulate another machine that does, but that is also proven to be impossible, it cannot simulate something more expressive than itself.

Totally but I also want to point out that reviewing changes is a lot easier than the first review. Ideally it has just a couple of lines changes and they are just version changes most os the time. It also does not help the existence of "pacman for AUR" that just encourages all the bad behavior, they encourage installing a lot of AUR packages without thinking twice, update without checking and to trust it or think it is the same as the maintained main repos since I think most if not all AUR packages also work as a pacman frontend.

The user was never supposed to rely on a lot of AUR packages and if you do maybe you better of with a distro that does package what you need or that the software authors package for.

"I fear not the wizard who has practiced 10,000 spells once, but I fear the wizard who has practiced one spell 10,000 times."

Actually Harry also used Expecto Patronum alot (aka, the deus ex machina spell that can do anything and give you a blowjob at the same time)

So he had 2 go to spells.

I mean, if you notice that you had and lost 700 millions you have to have a really strong mind to not go crazy. If it was me I think I would go crazy.

A stop button for the bus stop.

Where I live the bus does not stop if no one flags it from the bus stop. The problem is that sometimes it is hard to see which bus is coming and you have to always be on alert. A button that maybe turn on a light that show the incoming bus that passagens wants to get in. For bus stop with multiple bus lines it should show which line needs to stop.

Similarly a info panel with the buses that stops in that stop, when the next one is due and maybe even a map of the buses route. I know that with smartphones this is not such kife change but still useful I think.

If some other countries are any indication, not only will they raise the prices but they will raise it way more than the tariffs and just blame on tariffs and with time people will just think that is the way it is. "X cost 3 times as other countries? That is because the tariffs" no mind that the tariffs is like 50% and not 300%. Like they already do with gas prices. Gas go up immediately when oil prices rise but only goes down, if ever, for new stock.

It is sad that so much of technological advancement is not freeing people from labor has the opposite effect, making people fight to pay rent and necessities everyday and never having free time to live. There is so much to like in these new Ai technologies but they being wielded by capitalists to extract a little more money. I highly doubt that visual arts is a big expensive in movies and films since usually half the budget is marketing and another big chuck to secure big stars to the project.

In any case everyone already lost and the Internet is a little bit worst. Reading about this class actions I think no good will come out of it, or the draconian copyright laws will be even worst and small artists will already have lost to the prior models using their content or a "fair use" exception will be made but only for big companies AI and not help small artists and content creators that battle with DMCA abuse taking down fair use vídeos from YouTube and content from over the net anyway.

Also people who like to DIY seem to forget that a lot of people want a turn-key solution, I even dare to say that most people prefer a ready made solution. Even a lot of people who work in tech when they get home want a just work solution.

Your second example is a newish problem and Ubuntu specific. I had never had a problem with drag-and-drop and I migrated from Ubuntu before the snap thing.

You will always find an example of something that works "better" in one OS than other. Linux is not trying to be a windows drop-in replacement, some thing are gonna behave differently. Linux have some problems for an average user but a lot is just different UX design and others, especially hardware compatibility is because companies don't care for it to work on Linux so the OS is always playing catch up.

But then there would be less garlic :(

I feel like it falls to the same problem. They will see Ron Swanson, a tridimensional complex character and just flat it to the "cool macho" stuff and ignore his character growth and confuse aspects that are flaws but maybe charming or colorful to actual qualities.

Nearly....but some don't. And that is the problem. Other countries have bank transfer figured out and not dependent on voluntary adoption from a 3rd party service. I was very surprised when I learned how behind the US is on banking, even compared with some "3rd word" countries.

This is not the first time he was caught with a sock puppet. And I can confuse the names of people a lot and call the wrong name but I never referred to myself when talking about someone else, and I never see or heard about It either. It is not a simple mistake, It is too different cognitive speaking I think.

That is just next word prediction with extra steps.

No TempleOS (never mind. It is there... but in the wrong place) no HannaMontanaLinux and you call it a meme? How dare you.

It is wild to see a TIL about something you saw on TV as a kid and remember being referenced multiple times over the years. Not a diss on OP, just a realization that fuck I am and old person now.
