Basically the supreme Court is allowing Texas to ban abortions. This ruling barrs, prevents, an exception to that ban.

Watch out, Bamboo is so hard it will dull your knifes. But those do look like some nice cutting boards.

Child safety org launches AI model trained on real child sex abuse images
Reply in thread
How is this proliferating csam? Also, how do you expect them to find csam without having known images? It gives a really nice way to check based on hashes without having someone look at every picture on someone's harddrive. With this AI it should greatly help determining new or unknown images while minimizing the number of actual people that have to see that stuff, and who get scarred from looking at such images. The only reason to be against this is if you are looking at CP and want it to be harder to find, or if you don't understand how this technology is being used.

Prior to the start of modern medicine there was massive distrust with anyone who tried to treat people, as many of these were scams. When MDs started to actually understand health they started cooping the term doctor to instill trust since people knew that meant the person had been professionally educated, then they also managed to get laws passed so while anyone could call themselves a healer, only trained professionals could call themselves MDs. Eventually, doctor came to mean MD in English instead of PhD.

So despite this being developed by Google, they are not putting it in chrome? That's dumb.

How do I run this KDE Plasma widget (Optimus GPU Switcher) as root? Entering my password doesn't work.
Are you using your users password or the root accounts password? This wants the root accounts password. What groups are you apart of?

In future when we land on other planets we will need a different calendar, Do you think we need a secular calendar or the current Gregorian one?

The effect will be so minimal you can just ignore it. If needed it would probably be something handled akin to leap seconds vs something everyone is made to deal with constantly.

What if the moon turned into a black hole?
Reply in thread
You only need a high enough density of mass to form a black hole. You could take any amount of mass and in theory squeeze it hard enough to produce a black hole.
The sun is not massive enough for the astrophysical processes to form a black hole, but if you squeezed the sun into a small enough space by some magic it you could form them.

Self-balancing commuter pods ride old railway lines on demand
Reply in thread
Sadly, monorails require different rails which are taller and thicker this would still apply to a smaller pod style device. I do not see how they could ever keep this balanced on these rails, and don't think the rails would hold up anyways. Additionally, the loop sidedness of the weight distribution seems to me like it can create major issues when the rails have been designed under the idea that it would be more or less equal on both.
This seems like just another person trying to reinvent the wheel because us Americans hate rail, even though the us was built on rail.

Honestly, Amazon isn't even low price anymore. I compared everything I got for Christmas with Amazon and Walmart this year and Walmart was cheaper or the same price on every single item. Fucking bezos making me praise Walmart.

Miyazaki says don't worry, the shiny new weapons in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree shouldn't outpace your old favourites
I'm going to be able to start this on Monday, and I really don't want spoilers except one thing. If I start a new game will I have access to the new weapons prior to entering the DLC area?

I recently bought a pair off Amazon for 30. Didn't seem crazy high. Sure some of them might be but it's hard to find shoes cheaper that won't fall apart in a week.

Child safety org launches AI model trained on real child sex abuse images
Reply in thread
Sorry I cannot post a longer response but I'd suggest you look up how this type of forensic software is developed and used. There are a few good documentaries on it if you look, one I remember watching was on googles team for this stuff.
The images are not exactly shared in that very few people have access to them, and they treat it very much like classified information so that only select people can see them.
These models would be developed using normal images and then trained in closed systems with the real images where the accuracy is used and not the images. No need to scar the developers who just want to work.
Nothing about the reporting of people will change, the only difference is this will allow the FBI to have a list of suspected CP and a list of normal images from a computer allowing them to spend a fraction of the time looking at this stuff to document it. This is very important when you have people who have literally terrabytes of the stuff and probably even more normal images. In general we like to minimize the time spent looking at such stuff because it is so scarring.
As for showing the images in court, in the US hashes are acceptable evidence, again we don't like to scar people by showing them this stuff. Additionally after you've been shown the 100th picture of a baby being abused and the FBI is telling you they have 1000000 more, you'll just take their word for it.
Anyways, hope you have a good one
