802.11a is over 20 years old, fortunately this law isn't talking about shutting down existing routers. the 6 GHZ is the next frontier to expand to, the military already owns the 7 GHZ spectrum... So the 6 GHZ is the one that can be expanded into. Of which origionally was planned to be made for the next generation of wifi... but now is going to be sold off to phone providers to use in the next generation of mobile networks.

So in short, our existing routers will continue to work as designed, but future routers will not be making any leaps forward.

Basically the choice between better faster wireless LANs, is getting killed in favor of better networks for cellphone services... of which the carriers will set the price on.

Gotta love the emphasis on the "outsider".

He says bad words!!!

Well yeah exactly why I said "the same risk". ideally it's going to be in the same systems... and assuming no one is stupid enough (or the laws don't let them) attach it to the publicly accessible forms of existing AIs It's not a new additional risk, just the same one. (though those assumptions are largely there own risks.

remember a decade ago when Donald Trump was starting in the primaries and it was a joke.

I think you are massively overestimating how many of his fans would go anywhere, and how long they tag along. I used to play a social deduction game town of Salem, can't say I know exactly how large the playerbase was... but I'd estimate it on the lower side, probably significantly under 50k. There were a few times Pewdiepie did a video on the game, and yeah, he was a pain in the ass, because he didn't try to learn the game, so his video was basically him trolling around in the game screaming random stuff, completely ruining things for people who wanted to play the game, and players could basically count on a few days afterwards of, having games ruined by his fans doing the same crap of course. However it certainly wasn't millions of them, within a few days the game mostly went back to normal... with if anything a slight boost to the number of players, because a handful stuck around and actually learned the game.

and again this is with much longer ago pewdiepie... way younger fanbase, way larger more active following. Today's pewdiepie, that's still following, and I guess bothering to pay attention to his videos on rigging up gadgets with raspberry pi's, and installing archlinux with hyprland, and apparently this one on getting off google. I'd imagine... the amount of people following him are going to be waay smaller than that, he hasn't been doing gaming videos in at least a year, seems to be more of basic tech comentary and general lifestyle location things.

So in short, if he did a lemmy push, first off I'd imagine actually the blip from it being very small. Unless steam charts suddenly show 100 million new archlinux users or something, I can guess his influence today is probably pretty small, and second the type of people he'd attract are probably also drastically different than the edgy teen base we remember him for, and lastly even at his peak of popularity and immaturity, the influx wasn't quite as big as you are thinking it is.

and then his allegedly support of nazis.

The nazi one IMO was pretty BS. Largely it came from him playing a game, and commenting that other people were trolling putting up swastika's etc...

Which I'll admit, he handled the criticism poorly, did mostly the wrong things because he found it more of a joke than a real thing. He rightly noted that one of the critics was JK Rowling, who he fairly pointed out had no business calling anyone such. When Charlottsville happened is when he actually gave what I considered a pretty sincere fair apology where he basically noted, "holy shit I thought I was being accused of something that didn't exist, I didn't realize that nazi's are actually still so prevelant in modern society so I wasn't taking things seriously.

Now afterwords him dropping the n bomb on a stream was pretty damn bad, though he apologized and admitted it. Still kind of falls into the fact that he'd been paid for years to join in games with a bunch of edgy teenagers, and at the end of the day if you spend too much time with a group of people, you are going to slip up and talk like them.

Again not calling him a great guy or anything, but I'd say everything in him strikes me as a kid that never grew up (because his life was basically set up encouraging him not to), didn't understand the weight of a lot of the things he was around, and made a bunch of childish stupid mistakes.

8 I believe was the last in their "tick tock" strategy...

IE "ticks" were the ones where they threw a bunch of stuff at the wall to see what sticks, basically putting users as paying beta testers.

"Tocks" were when they'd basically look at the piles of complaints from their ticks, try and fix as many as they could, and impliment some of the small features people wanted.

Ticks: Win 95, Win ME + 2000, Vista, Windows 8.

Tocks: Win 3.1, Win 98, Win XP, Windows 7, "sorta windows 10, hard to really say that model was made to be the start of more or less a auto upgrading by default as the new normal)

Seems to me pointless, biggest one being, if this was developed in a working manner, and was used... advertisers would mix between going more subtle, or more obnoxious. Just like on the web.

IE subway stations could put say a code you need to get into the subway in the middle of an advertisement. IE the real life equivelant of "you must disable your adblocker to continue".

I mean theoretically things could be anonymized for the AI, with only the charts with identifiers present, I'd imagine assuming the AI itself stays locked into the EHR system and isn't say outsourced to one of the big AI firms. With those conditions it's, roughly the same privacy as the existance of EHR in general.

As far as practical/legal/ethical, that comes down to how they market it to doctors. Personally I think it could be a useful tool for a doctor to "second opinion" himself. IE reach his own conclusion first, then hit the AI, see if it noticed something he missed. Though the obvious fear is of course going to be lazy or rushed doctors, working in a hospital that's pushing them to see the most patients possible in an hour, rewarding the doctors that walk in, hand the patient their AI diagnosis, and move into the next room. Which... well in modern America we all know this is what's going to be pushed.

The tools have amazing potential when used appropriately.... but for profit healthcare has all the wrong incentives, and they will see this as a tool to magnify them.

Valid... but also have to point out he hit big as a celebrity. When you are literally raking in millions of dollars. He was about 21 when he started his channel. and bottom line is, he got views, he got likes, and it turned into real cash. Most of our jobs etc... encourage us to grow up. His job, rewarded him for catering to his base... which of were younger than him.

I mean, I don't know of him now... he's way older and, seems significantly less immature than he was in the past, it's possible a good portion of his fanbase has also grown to be more tolerable.

I mean I don't really consider him a deplorable person... He was a dumb edgy teen 15 years ago that happened to strike a cord with the overwhelming amount of dumb edgy teens on youtube, and strike it rich. I haven't paid a ton of attention to him, but from what I saw of his linux and gadget crafting videos, it sounds like he's grown up a fair amount from his days of scream streaming.
