The very first internet connection occurred on 30 October 1969

No. Earliest cross node connection was early 1969: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPL_network

This is the book be Vincent Cerf where he explains that ARPANET isn’t the Internet. Good to know that the people who created the Internet are wrong.

I get it. You were taught in school that US government created the internet. It’s a good explanation to the 4th grader. It’s also simplistic and incorrect, but that’s how elementary schools teach. It’s like that with a lot of knowledge, it becomes more nuanced the more you know about it.

That is an interesting point of view. Very USA exceptional. It’s also dumbed down a lot. ARPANET is a computer network, but it’s not internet, nor it was the first. It kickstarted popularity of computer networks in the USA and provided first FTP and (I think) first remote login.

Popularity of computer networks in USA definitely was a formative quality over the 20 years of international development of the Internet.

But saying ARPANET was the internet is like saying gramophone is Netflix.

First computer network to send packets to another computer was British NPL network. Then US government founded ARPANET, built upon that. Except that DARPA besides having own researchers outsourced to Stanford, BBN and University College of London (“How the Internet Came to Be”, quoting I forgot whom from DARPA).

Then French Cyclades computer network built upon ARPANET and proposed that multiple networks should be able to communicate with each other.

Then USA non-profit IEEE looked at all that proposed TCP/IP for cross-network communication, and that is the thing that (after many iterations over a decade) led to the Internet not being separate networks like AOL or Computerverse or whatever.

Now we’re getting closer to the internet and it’s time for https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_data_network

First was Spain with RETD , then France, then USA with Telenet. Then Canada. Then in 1978 we started connecting those separate networks. I think the first properly working project was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Packet_Switched_Service between British post office and USA post office.

On those public data networks the Internet’s physical layer was built.

In USA U.S. National Science Foundation was founding more and more computer networks, including CSNET. That’s still not internet. It’s 1980 and it will take a decade of new inventions (Ethernet, LAN, DNS) and improvements & implementations (like to TCP/IP) before we will get the internet.

Here’s a nifty source for that decade, because I spent 50 minutes writing this post before I noticed I’m arguing with a guy over the internet about the internet.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Internet (there is a nice timeline list there).

It is so complicated that you’re both correct and incorrect. US government added to it, yes. I’d argue the fundamental work was independent researchers from multiple countries (UK, USA, France). I’d argue the critical infrastructure was multiple non-profits.

Also the question is “what exactly is the beginning of the internet”. Is it usenet? Telnet? Arpanet?

Same document, section about Shareholders.

There’s no such thing. There COULD be something like shareholders voting on smthing and those votes are binding, but the agenda is declared by the company and can be only shiet like dividends rate, certain acquisitions, etc. Not the company strategy itself.

Technically they don’t - it’s a lie told often by CEO. But its a lie. https://law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Fiduciary-Duties-of-the-Board-of-Directors.pdf

The fuck is that.

Well, semantically yes, not all telemetry is spyware. However regarding Windows telemetry it’s indistinguishable from spyware - you have no idea nor control over the data gathered, measured and processed.

The crux is that Windows telemetry is opt out, opting out can’t be done during installation, and historically opting out wasn’t sticky. Additionally some Windows telemetry is still being sent despite opting out.

That makes Windows telemetry fulfill all spyware criteria.

This wikipedia article lists all different studies why. The short answer is patriarchy - men have more occasion to commit crimes and it’s more acceptable from gender role point of view for men to do so.

It also list studies of crimes and offenses where women are found to be more often perpetrators than men, including a very comprehensive guide to domestic violence studies.

To sum it up - you’re both correct, men do more bullshit, women have similar capacity for it, we are expected to express the bullshit differently.

I stand corrected.

The AGI, by definition, will make something vastly better than diffusion model. That’s one of the cornerstones of AGI, it will explode it’s capabilities.

I think they did more - I vaguely remember them admitting they messed up the search result on purpose so the user will run more queries and will see even more ads.

Agi and image diffusion has literally nothing in common though?
