Honestly not everyone will agree, but personally I can't see any flaw in using AI to read through your code and point out security flaws. It's going to happen regardless of whether you initiate it. It's not like us sys admins are going "well I'm not going to patch the dirtyfrag vulnerability because it was discovered with AI". I'd say knowing if AI can find a vulnerability in your code, is just a requirement right now.

    Mentioned in a different post on that, but I did phrase my statement badly

    IE I meant to say I find the concept of a mixed marriage in the case of people who believe, salvation = belief, and those who don't believe are damned, is crazy. not to imply all religious believe salvation = belief.

    I didn’t heard what Francis said about atheism, so I have no opinion on the matter.

    https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2013/05/29/187009384/Pope-Francis-Even-Atheists-Can-Be-Redeemed

    I'll give a bit more detail there. also looks like I was way off on the year. First off I'll admit, majority of my knowledge of Christianity is based on American versions. Of which I gotta admit, American believers are a different animal than European ones. IE hence American Catholics are basically considering our current president more authoritative than the pope in spiritual matters. But even so from what I've seen of say actual bishops debating with Hitchens etc... It still seems to me that at least a fairly significant portion even at an international level. This ain't a Jubalee fact check episode so obviously we shouldn't do it as, oh if 49.9% believe belief = salvation, then you are right and if 50.1% believe it than I'm right. I'm just saying it's not an insignificant portion. My point is someone who believes belief = salvation, and also marries someone who doesn't believe. Is either not as convinced of their belief as they claim, or they are expecting their spouse to change, maybe thinking that being around them but not preaching, is it's own witnessing strategy (IE let them see the light in your life),

    First I would like to clarify my words a bit, when I said "judeo christian religions that believe X"

    I intended to mean "in the case of religions that believe X" (as in, I wanted to apply my I don't comprehend how a mixed religion relationship works for people who believe salvation is tied to belief), not to imply all judeo christian religions believe belief = salvation.

    However.

    At least from what I can see, just looking up different catholic sources. Unless I'm completely misunderstanding, https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/is-there-really-no-salvation-outside-the-catholic-church , more or less from what I can gather, that's primarally applying for say people who.. literally have never heard or rejected the gospel. IE, not someone who's married to a catholic wife and had a bible in the house and has the choice to refuse church every week.

    Sort of the old joke

    Eskimo "If I did not know about god and sin would I go to hell"

    Missionary: "of course not, if you didn't know you couldn't be blamed"

    Eskimo: "Why did you tell me then?"

    IE the concept of "invincible ignorance". and from what I'm searching the "inculpable ignorant" in islam. basically applies to people who have never been exposed to the religion. IE if they were around people of the faith... had access to a church/mosque etc.. that doesn't seem to apply.

    Pope francis had his line in 2018 that he implied atheists could go to heaven, but the vatican was quick to say taht should not "be considered as a faithful transcription of the Holy father's words". In other words, the vatican isn't fully standing behind that, and that's very far from anything that the previous popes would have said.

    Running a comparison, assuming it's in use 8 hours a day 5 days a week, looks like a CPC runs around 640-760 a year (just googling quickly checking the numbers). course that's just basic hourly office computer, meant to be comparable to what normally would be normal office computer. Didn't bother to look and see what say an 8,000 high end graphics card laptop or something would compare... of course if your company was doing 8,000 laptops "a couple years ago", those are probably at least 15,000 laptops today.

    Me when asked whether I’d date a religious person.

    To me, at least with Judeo-Christian religions that believe in hell as the destination for people who do not believe in their god, I find it so baffling that people can have mixed or non religious serious relationships, with the idea "well we just don't try to convert eachother".

    How the hell do you square.

    I love my spouse.

    I love my God.

    One day my god is going to send my spouse to be tortured for all of eternity. I will then spend the rest of my life happily hanging out with my god.

    It only makes sense if you either don't really believe what you believe, or you are very certain your partner is going to change their view. From the atheist side it doesn't really matter.

    I don't think it's going to be an overnight thing, It will start voluntarily, as the price equation shifts. the complications wasn't worth the savings when office PCs were 1500 a pop, but what about when they are 3000 a pop and projected to hit 5000 next year. After more of them make the switch... then say an announcement can happen that microsoft is lessening it's support for on prem servers and workstations, patches will be less frequent. and now it's a risk assessment as well.

    If they aren't rich enough, then they are in the same boat as us. This ain't exactly new... AWS workspaces, Azure Cloud PCs, Google docs, office 365, one drive. The tech has been creeping it's way into businesses for the last 10 years. Obviously they are getting hammered right now by the raise in prices of new PCs. As the prices go up, they will have to make decisions.

    I've called this so many times over... It's not just going to be xbox... it's going to be PCs in general, With AI data centers raising up the price on all hardware, They are already making moves in the government on banning routers. The plan is going to be for personal computers and hardware to leave the world. Either price them out of consumer reach or flat out outlaw them. We get thin clients like stadia, Luna etc... Actually having a personal computer capable of running software itself will be considered a national security threat. Why wouldn't you keep your stuff in the cloud where the government can audit it, companies can make sure you aren't pirating or running unapproved illegal LLMs that could make bombs etc...

    No they believe that if they stop everyone who will vote against them from voting, that the handful of die hard supporters will carry the rest. They aren't trying to motivate the base, they are trying to either arrest or intimidate the opposition.

    They can, they just don't want to start from scratch, they had brand deals here, and their brands don't care as much as them over there.

    Pretty much what 90% of this is... "they had a life, job and everything in the united states, they gave everything up and moved to another country, and pikachu face, starting from scratch isn't easy."
