I get using a comma as a radix, sure. It makes grammatical sense, like saying "two, and three tenths", just a little pause between concepts.

But how does it make any sense anywhere to use a full-stop for grouping digits?! "1.000.000.000.000" looks ludicrous, not to mention we can't even agree on whether thats a billion or a million!

There are other privacy issues with having an indelible marker as to the origin and chain of custody of every digital artifact. And other non-privacy issues.

So the idea here is that my phone camera attaches a crypro token to the metadata of every photo it takes? (Or worse, embeds it into the image steganographically like printer dots.) Then if I send that photo to a friend in signal, that app attaches a token indicating the transfer? And so on?

If that's a video of say, police murdering someone, maybe I don't want a perfect trail pointing back to me just to prove I didnt deep fake it. And if that's where we are, then every video of power being abused is going to "be fake" because no sane person would sacrifice their privacy, possibly their life, to "prove" a video isnt AI generated.

And those in power, the mainstream media say, aren't going to demonstrate the crypto chain of custody on every video they show on the news. They're going to show whatever they want, then say "its legit, trust us!" and most people will.

These are the fundamental issues with crypto that people actually don't understand: too much of it is actually opt-in, it's unclear to most people what's actually proved or protected, and it doesn't actually address or understsnd where trust, authority, and power actually come from.

The first and last time I was privileged to see Ozzy perform, it was at VoodooFest 2015. I'll never forget that incredible show, video does not at all do it justice. He sounds like shit in this particular video (not mine), but he sounded great in person.

Ozzy--on stage with Geezer Butler, Tom Morello, and Slash--plays all the hits. It's Halloween night, it's raining and getting worse throughout the show as a massive thunderstorm rolls in. Ozzy's howling is punctuated by lightning and thunder as though God had also decided to join in. I'm moshing in the mud pit, having the time of my life, drunk on contraband rum. The festival was canceled for flooding the next day and i wasn't even mad because nothing was going to top that night's show.

Rest well, prince of darkness.

"Cutting (someone) down (to size)" is a phrase meaning to set out to reduce someone's ego, usually by physically overpowering them or ferociously insulting them, as young George does here.

Looks like @synae@lemmy.sdf.org called it!

Voyager for Android doesn't show them, so I have no idea what any of you look like anyway!

It sounds like this guy was also relying on the AI to self-report status. Did any of this happen? Like is the replit AI really hooked up to a CLI, did it even make a DB to start with, was there anything useful in it, and did it actually delete it?

Or is this all just a long roleplaying session where this guy pretends to run a business and the AI pretends to do employee stuff for him?

Because 90% of this article is "I asked the AI and it said:" which is not a reliable source for information.

Stern Asian Grandma is most displeased with how spicy my dish was yet again, and demands i add a heaping spoonful of chilli crunch to fix it!

My guess is it's buried treasure time, but buried submarine or buried UFO, or flying island or anything could all be on the table i suppose!
