I think the true use case for these AI technologies is yet to come. What most people are doing with the "AI" tools available today is just gambling around. But working with personal computers could be changing fundamentally in the coming years.

And how about price comparison, is it mandatory for US supermarkets to display the price per unit based on a standard unit of measurement (such as per pound or per ounce or whatever metrics are used)?

There is, it's called UK.

Ah ok, thanks.

Google Search’s “udm=14” trick lets you kill AI search for good | Ars Technica ( arstechnica.com )

Tack "&udm=14" on to the end of a normal search, and you'll be booted into the clean 10 blue links interface. While Google might not let you set this as a default, if you have a way to automatically edit the Google search URL, you can create your own defaults.

Why should they? The Web-Filter is a function that Google implemented themselves. It's not a secret trick or something.

Halcyon ,
@Halcyon@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

But it's not a workaround. This Web-Filter is a function that Google offers by choice. It's in the menu on the search page.

Germany does not yet recognize Palestine as an independent state, but an independent Palestinian state within the framework of a two-state solution has long been a firm goal of German foreign policy.

Volt wants:

To make digital rights binding. They call for a "Declaration on European Digital Rights and Principles".

Tax revenues from digital technologies where they are generated.

Guarantee net neutrality and reject contradictory laws.

Enact laws against the unethical use of AI.

Correct. Amazon for example: everything that is sold via Amazon in Europe is taxed in Ireland. Even if a product which is available on Amazon is produced in France, stored in a French Amazon warehouse and shipped to a French customer. Just because it's possible, they pay the reduced taxes in Ireland for such a deal. That needs to be fixed.

ITER will not be having the first full fusion before 2040. And that's just a prototype for science, it will not be a fusion power plant for generating energy for the public grid. So: fusion is still not very near.

But that would be like going to the gym 3.5 times a week! How do you go 3.5 times?! Do a half workout or something?

If something like a "German culture" ever existed, it never existed isolated and unchanged by other cultures. It's a short-sighted illusion to think that. And that illusion is used to justify racist and xenophobic positions. Culture is defined by communication, by change and exchange, and thrived when borders were crossed peacefully.

He was sick in hospital with pneumonia, before he got MRSA though. In hospitals there's a higher chance to catch MRSA, especially if someone is already weakened by a severe lung infection.

Answer is no. Google Ads doesn't work that way. If you perceive such a coincidence, it just happened by chance or you or your wife sent out other signals that buying new shoes is a topic for you.

Halcyon ,

Still a high chance for a coincidence. And the human mind tends to see patterns to structure the world. Shoe advertisement is not particularly rare in the web.

Halcyon ,
@Halcyon@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Coincidence in the sense that the ad that you saw had absolutely no connection to your talk. It was just a random ad. No all advertisements are targeted precisely.
I work in the field and a lot of campaigns on YouTube are just targeted to a selected YT-channel, or a topic like sport videos, or maybe an age group. That's all. You see an ad because you watched a channel. Like on TV.

Not an expert, but given the high numbers of planes simultaneously in the air, it's critical to know high precision position data and not estimated numbers based on maps and manual triangulation with a calculator. That might have been viable decades ago, but the tightly scheduled flights nowadays operate with minimal intervals between the flights. Even if pilots still master the old craft of navigation, it is simply not practical in an overcrowded sky, where minimization of risks is paramount.
