These four North Koreans remain at large, and the ‘Rewards for Justice’ program has announced $5,000,0000 in rewards for credible information about their current location.
Wow… so PRK can make just as much by saying “here they are, at an office in Pyongyang!” as they made via this entire 5-year scheme.
…for situations where people are providing service above and beyond what you’re already paying for through other means.
For me, this requires physical interaction between me and the person. If I can hand them a tip, it will be 10-15%, just like in the 90s.
If I’m in Starbucks and when I order something a prompt comes up on the machine asking how much I’d like to tip, it will always be 0 unless I’m asking staff to come deliver my order to me outside instead of picking it up myself. They should already be being paid a fair wage for the work they do behind the counter, and if I find out they aren’t, I’ll take my business elsewhere.
I wonder how much of that can be traced back to Broadcom acquiring VMWare?
It’s a challenge when even the English words twist the thinking on the topic… “repatriating” makes all sorts of assumptions about what people desire to happen.
Isn’t that headline backwards? Isn’t it Moscow saying Russia has occupied the region?
All religions, or just officially recognized ones?
Because there’s plenty of modern religions out there that claim to be anti-religion. Groupthink hiding behind ideologies that are fine in and of themselves, but twisted to keep people in line.
The problem isn’t religion; it’s people.
You’re wanting official paperwork from CoV?
Remember that fingerprinting can be your friend… because it’s much easier to fake an online fingerprint than a real one.
You can generate a unique fingerprint with each online interaction; this means that you will always have a unique identity.
Or, you can ensure you always have the same fingerprint as a large number of other people.
Think of it as the difference between using a different valid loyalty card each time you shop vs using one of the famous numbers that millions of other people are also using.
Of course, in both circumstances, you do give up the benefits of being uniquely identifiable.
Seems to me that such a system could be taken even further to also operate artificial appendages, a wheelchair, or even a MANTIS suit.
I just hope that someone discovers a way to reverse sclerosis and neuropathic diseases soon so that none of this is still needed. But the more tools in our toolboxes the better.
Exactly. People see “AI” and think LLMs and diffusion models. Those are both probabilistic translation engines. They’re no more intelligent than an AC/DC converter, just a lot more complex.
However, there are neural networks and sense arrays in the field of AI, and those are designed to replicate the process of thought.
The real route to a thinking AI is likely a combination of the two, where a neural network can call on expert systems including translation engines to do the heavy lifting and then run a more nuanced decision tree over the results.
Thing is, modern LLMs and diffusion models are already more complex than a single human mind can fully comprehend, so we default to internally labelling them as either “like us” or “magic”, even when we theoretically know them to be nothing but really deep predictive models.
I hate to be the one to point it out to Trump, but a significant number of famous cards living in the US are actually Canadian. And if he deports them… well, then he won’t have them all, will he?
They’ll likely deport him eventually.
It’s a shame the US no longer meets international medical standards.
On the plus side, he found out all of this BEFORE entering the US, instead of entering and being abducted by ICE.

It was distracting the pedant in me.
Now that that’s over with, let’s have fun and create the reality WE want!
Let MuskCo know that it doesn’t own the narrative. Strathcona is for people, not corporations.
Sounds like they’ve still got some work to do to identify the areas that have been bottom trawled.
Thing is, I’ve been out of fisheries since the 90s, but back then bottom trawling was illegal in territorial waters, I thought? All the surface trawlers would never have done it anyway because they understood how destructive it could be for future years.
Those dog groomers are so proud of what they do, too.
Little Snitch on a Mac.
Or maybe Putin.
