We expect the Government to do more and more things but not have to Pay any taxes to pay for it,. Compared to many/most other Places WE are actually not doing too Bad. Poor leen and Murdoch would have you believe we have the worst government in the world. BTW SKY is now News 24 but they haven't put THAT on the front Page. Nev

I was speaking to my local Member the other day. (I vote for another Party.) We spoke of Pauline and ON. He said that ON had no practical policies, which is something that many people are coming to consider to be correct. He said that he doubted if ON's results in the next election would mirror the current polling figures. The unfortunte thing is that I don't beleive his Party nor mine have a decent set of policies that would benefit all Australians. It seems to me that we have become terribly divided in our wants. Perhaps it's because we have been infected with the 'me first, last and every otehr time' virus.

She's there for Gina and Murdoch . Her ardent backers. That's the Main reason I wouldn't even consider voting for Her. She's also a BIG stirrer who answers to no one A Trump admirer in the extreme and not that Bright and a "Would be if she could be". . She's a monster risk to Australia's relations with other Countries. Nev

So that everyone understands the context of Pauline Hanson’s loss on appeal: On 9 September 2022, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi posted the following statement online: “Condolences to those who knew the Queen. I cannot mourn the leader of a racist empire built on stolen lives, land and wealth of colonised peoples. We are reminded of the urgency of Treaty with First Nations, justice & reparations for British colonies & becoming a republic.” Senator Pauline Hanson responded: “Your attitude appals and disgusts me. When you immigrated to Australia you took every advantage of this country. You took citizenship, bought multiple homes, and a job in a parliament. It’s clear you’re not happy, so pack your bags and piss off back to Pakistan.” I am 100% with Pauline on this, it is one of the reasons Australians want ON.

Sorry - I didn't see this... There are two ways - human and machine learning. And Machine Learning is often automated feedback loop between humans and machines, but can be, for example, response to external stimuli. Human learning, or tagging, is where a human takes the output and if it is inaccurate, explicitly tags the output to the degree it is inaccurate and corrects it. The data held to calculate the probability will be updated as a result. For machine learning, it is where the machine works it out for itself. For example, if a LLM answered your prompt, but answered the wrong question and you corrected it, it would update the statistical data where it think it went wrong. For non-human interactions, and to take an extreme example.. Say a self driving car predicts the person on the side of the road is not moving in front of it (say moving away from it) but ends up hitting it, it will use the data it received through the camera and radar to adjust the statistical data and learn whatever triggered it "thinking" or statistically deducing it would move away from the car, actually meant it would move toward the car and update its map accordingly... automatically. This is an oversimplification, as it would feed some central AI DB that would recompute the data maps and download it back or something similar. But the concept should be clear enough. It isn't inconceivable. But it would require almost autonomous and dextrous robots to do so, and I don't think we are quite there yet. In the future though, it may well be the case. Without context, the presenter is not making an entirely accurate statement. Yes, AI will work a lot quicker and uncover more vulnerabilities. But firms and governments are already using (and have been for some time) AI to scan networks and systems looking for and patching vulnerabilities. In addition, AI has been deployed to monitor real time behaviour to determine id actions being performed are likely to to be cyber breaches of some sort. So, it will settle down to a bit of like it is now, where vulnerabilities are found by those looking for them from both from a defensive and offensive/nefarious point of view and, like today.. some of the nefarious ones will get through, and some won't. The good thing is that AI will be a far better defence - especially monitoring real time activity that is suspicious. Also, the number of "hackers" (crackers - hacking is what I used to do - programming with "short cuts") that really know the nuts and bolt of what is happening is a relatively small percentage and most of the systems/networks hacking is already available in automated tools - usually free - that can be downloaded. Khali Linux is a cybersecurity "optimised" version of Linux for penetration testers. Basically it comes with most, if not all of the major available hacking software. Not many of these 16 year-old bright sparks know much more than how to download Khali Linux and point it to a server and run the software.. a real cracker would know how to cover their tracks and not get caught - like some of the ransomware gangs... So, this is already available today. And note, at least in today's world and I suspect when the AI between nefarious and defensive actors catch up, the weakest link in cybersecurity is humans.. social engineering (phishing, vishing, smishing and the like) are by far away the most common cause of breaches rather than the stereotyped hooded cracker at a keyboard. Real time AI monitoring will be much quicker at finding this (and already is). What will happen is you Windows Defender will become AI enabled. I found it ironic that Hugging Face, an AI cybersecurity start up was breached so easily. I think that may have damaged its reputation somewhat. The bigger threats on the horizon will be with quantum computing. This is a game changer.

Let's hope

Basically I'm saying STOP IT!

I’m basically saying don’t defend yourself by attacking the other person. Stick to defending your opinion and keep personal criticism out of it. That applies to both sides. Just stating the obvious really.

Semantics really. ARE you saying just COP it? Selective information and long posts are tedious to counter. .Personal attacks are Coward's bully boy tactics. Few would do it to your face. You can't really KNOW someone from their on line presentation very accurately. People get put inboxes to discredit their input. I'm not at all threatened by people with Knowledge. I'd welcome more of them, but why would they bother to come here? Nev

Maybe, but it's much better to defend your argument. Defending yourself usually doesn't end well for anyone.

The FACT that Trump swore not to start such overseas Wars/Adventures will Probably be the Most significant ACT in bringing his inevitable demise ON. Nev.

You (or I) have to be Permitted to defend ourselves No? Separate (verb) cause and effect and don't victim blame if it all becomes unpleasant. No one likes Blues, and I am very aware of that.. I don't desire to continue this BS with Jerry. Why can't HE just Leave it at that. He obviously doesn't CARE what I think about it. THAT should ring alarm bells. I've been Pleading for Proper debate and discussion for ages. Here we take funny stuff too seriously and make jokes out of serious stuff. A lot of very good Posts get destroyed. I thought it's for Pilots predominately. It SAYS "The Home of Aviation for ALL Pilots", on the other site. Will someone Please inform me if that is now not the case, and IF I've been Laboring under a Misconception, if hardly anyone is interested. Nev

Only as long as Trump has enough ammunition left to keep it going.

Not necessarily, but it helps if both sides can have a discussion without arguing and escalating differences of opinion or fact into personal criticism or ridicule.

A joke that has a victim is not funny. Its an assault. The action of Bullies.. Good argument should settle the discussion and One has to be entitled to express any considered view that is not vindictive. I will defend my hard earned reputation.. I'm fact seeking and Safety Orientated.. I'm probably the Most attacked Person on this site at present. Why is that and why are people frightened to support me? THAT should not be happening... Nev

The written word in situations like forums can be misinterpreted becasue it lacks the nuances of voice. I caould type that Joe Blowe is a silly bugger. Can you tell from those words if I was being humourous or accusory? I think that we previously decided that it one wanted to make a statement then it should be accomanied by a reference to the source behind it. If that is done then I think it lessens the chance of persoanl attacks.

I have had Avast antivirus software installed for over 10 years. It regularly blocks dangerous sites, but accepted these ones when I opened them. Avast also regularly runs system checks to look for dangerous files.

Don't blame me. I'm the One asking for it to cease.. Nev

You can't hold a seat in the Parliament of Australia IF you are a DUAL citizen. It's probably simpler IF you aren't one. British Citizens living here did not receive the Pension. What a cop out by the British Gov't? Nev

There's a bit of aggro going on between a couple of members. Hardly the sort of thing that makes for a pleasant place to come and interact with others. The aggro does not carry any of the discussion to a suitable resolve. In fact, it diminishes respect for those creating th aggro, and respecting others should be a foundational rule for we members. Let's make it the custom here to play the ball, not the man.

red. how can you be sure that Link is safe? Nev

Two different, but possible scenarios. However we don't need AI to put the financial or military structures at risk. We' got the orange A-hole creating the risk.

You don't know when to shut up and resort to sarcasm. Kerang was THE big accident Of course it's in the Country. My Vineyard wasn't that far from it. You think you have found a weakness in my argument and you are flogging it for all it's worth I wouldn't attempt to Know a lot about UK or London because I don't LIVE there.. The More I say the more you use it against ME. It's a contest with you. Not a discussion.. Let's just stop now shall we? It's Pointless.. Nev

The damage that could be caused by the first incursion would likely make your ultimate scenario unnecessary.
