That's not the point of fast.com

Fast is a one click solution to finding out your download speed from Netflix.

Latency doesn't matter, nor does upload.


Would you rather that the 100% of bugs in those 20% of tickets never got fixed?

Linux users write highly detailed bug reports because it's the only way to get things fixed without coding the fix yourself.


>Windows 7 would take minutes to boot.

Citation needed. I went from Win7 on a i5-2500k that booted in sub 15 seconds on a SATA SSD to Win10 on a 5600x that takes 45 seconds to a minute to boot an NVME drive.


Windows 7 on my 15 year old GNU/Linux computer in a VM boots faster than both Windows 10 and Windows XP also in a VM.


>search integrated into the start menu was a major quality of life improvement.

Too bad it's been completely broken by Windows 10. It can't even find the names of software I have pinned to the start menu. One of the things I miss most from 7.


>you said even one of them in a contract negotiation the first order of business by the union rep would be to remove you from contract negotiation.

You can do the same thing by saying "jury nullification" during the jury duty selection process. You can watch BOTH lawyers scramble to kick you out of the room.


Serious question: why would a defense attorney want to kick off the one crazy juror who brings up jury nullification during voir dire?


To be fair, this may be not because you know about it, but because you're the sort of person to bring it up unsolicited.


> it's still a tool, not a person.

Tell that to the CEO's who have replaced all of their yes-men with yes-chatbots.


>The first is the fear of job loss, and I feel like this is the most straightforward to deal with. Personally, I think the solution should be to share the productivity of AI with society at large, in particular since AI owes most of its abilities to training on the works of society.

This was the argument about robots. It did not pan out. No taxes materialized. Robots and Automated Machines have not shared productivity. In fact, things like self-checkout has spread the labor load to the customer, instead of the company.

>We have the technology to produce energy in sustainable ways, but it is expensive

AI Datacenters should be completely sustainably self-powered. Full stop. We did not spend decades bringing down the cost of power only to have it all hoovered up by robber barons who "need" it to be the first immortal AI God. We did not install water treatment plants to bring down our water usage rates just to feed the machine spirit.

>How do we treat AI creative work? How much creative work do we feel comfortable handing over to AI?

Someone said it as a joke, but I want AI to be doing my dishes and sorting my laundry while I write books and compose music. I don't want AI writing books and composing music so I have more time to do my dishes and sort my laundry.


> Someone said it as a joke, but I want AI to be doing my dishes and sorting my laundry while I write books and compose music. I don't want AI writing books and composing music so I have more time to do my dishes and sort my laundry.

Well then we should maybe ask ourselves why RealityTV gets more views than well written work.


I can't wait for the Faro Plague and the robot dinosaurs.


>What is most concerning to me is how people are turning their brains off for anything tangentially related to AI.

Everyone is betting the farm on that .01% chance that they become wild trillionaires. We're going to burn down the whole planet and use all of the resources so a few people can have a minuscule chance at being obscenely rich.


Today's car crash deaths are sometimes software bug caused deaths. Toyota failed their forensic audit of their drive by wire code back in 2013. https://capitolweekly.net/toyota-has-settled-hundreds-of-sud...
