In firefox yeah! I use it often.

I have it connected to a local Gemma model running in ollama and use it to quickly summarize webpages, nobody really wants to read 15 minutes worth of personal anecdotes before getting to that one paragraph that actually has relevant information, and for finding information within a page, kinda like ctrl-f on steroids.

The machine is sitting there anyway and the extra cost in electricity is buried in the hours of gaming that gpu is also used for, so i haven't noticed yet, and if you game, the graphics card is going to be obsolete long before the small amount of extra wear is obvious. YMMV if you dont already have a gaming rig laying around

I fully agree. If these were buses from any other country, this would not be an issue.

Every road vehicle sold today has a sim card, most for diagnostics, some for remote control.

That makes sense, the CV dazzle styles for designed for a specific algorithm that went out of use around a decade ago.

There have been some updated styles for CNN based models, but never tried them, the originals did work back in the day

I really dislike how Antropic half reports on its "science".

They run a bunch of experiments, for some they report partial metrics, for other's no metrics at all.

For example when a thought is injected the model correctly identified the thought 20% of the time. That's great, but how many times did it suggest there was an injected thought when there wasn't?

When distinguishing thoughts from text: why no metrics? Was this behaviour found in every test? Was this behaviour only found 20% of the time? How often did the model try to defend the text?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Totally forgot this gem [0].

Done hide. Overwhelm.

It used to be cv dazzle [0] is 15 years young. But its questionable if it works anymore. Theres also a bunch of of digital camo, most seem to target IR cameras [1] here's a homebrew version.

The thing about laws are they stop at the border. Unless you are sufficiently powerful that you can ignore the rights of other countries and their people, the UK isn't powerful anymore, but hasn't grasped that concept yet (I'm British, at this point it's just kind of sad).

So UK laws stop at the UK border.

4Chan is a US company, based in the US, with all its people and stuff in the US. It has never had a presence in the UK.

In the US people and companies have the right to free speech guaranteed under the first amendment, that includes speech conducted online. Many people would consider having the ability to speak, but having the government restrict hearing that speech to amount to a free speech violation.

The only jurisdiction 4Chan operates in is the US and they are defending their rights: they also have that right, the US isn't North Korea, or China, or the UK.

This isn't a matter of can they censor, of course they can. This is a matter of they don't have to, and they won't.

The UK has no jurisdiction, or reason to believe they have jurisdiction, or ability to enforce its laws extraterritorially over pretty much any foreign entity, but especially not the US.

Anyway you look at this, this is a jumped up little backwater not content with robbing their own citizens of their rights, they are now trying to rob others too.

Preach comrade!

Those citizen journalists with their primary sources, disgusting.

Thats nothing but propaganda.

Remember it doesnt matter what the video shows, it only matters who showed it to you.

In person or not at all.

At that point you've essentially lost.

You either hope another country sees value in spreading you some democracy, or you rise up and hope others join you.

Or not and you accept the protection the state is graciously providing to you.

Why would you expect anything else from the so-called left? Do you honestly believe only the right want power and control?

In my experience the left wants this just as much, if not more than the right.

Right-wing politics is starting to show up again in Europe, this is true, but the left / left-of-center has been in power for a long time and need (at least in their view) to remain in power.

These kinds of laws allow the powerful group to gain more control and remain in power, it took no time at all for the UK version of this law to block videos of heavy-handed policing [0].

The low power group usually doesn't support controls on speech, as they know it will make their rise to power harder. Once power shifts these views inevitably switch.

This has led to the belief, at least in the west, that the right censor and the left are the guardians of free speech - because it was true and people want to believe the world hasn't changed (nobody like to admit that they've become the bad guys).

This also leads people make this mistake of believing that politics is a line. It's not, it's a horseshoe.

In the middle is the vast majority of people that just want to be left alone, and want to leave others alone. At both edges there are loud, politically active, sociopaths that want power and control to protect and deify their own in-group, while, criminalizing and demonizing the out-group.

It's why, when looking at history, the right-wing fascists and the left-wing communists, seem to want totally opposite things, but end up with very similar policies and outcomes (illegal political parties, proscribed groups, concentration camps and genocide).

I'm sorry but how does a fresh out of college senior consultant gain such amazing experience?

I've been unfortunate enough to work with 3/4 of the big four (senior enough to at the table, not senior enough to call bullshit). Sales pitch is all partners; older people, lots of industry experience in relevant areas, great pitch. But, come time to deliver and an early 20-something shows up. So either its all covering your ass, or its just recycling reports from a shelf, either way there's no experience involved

> Also UK had law for years that can land you in prison for not providing decryption keys for data that you supposedly encrypted. It's not actively used, but it's there.

It is actively used, it's just most people fold and hand over the data [0][1][2].

simple answer no. OFCOM the regulator responsible for ensuring compliance has a nice guide on how you can prove you should be allow to see such filth: """ And how will I prove my age?

There’s a number of methods a site or app might use to ask you to confirm your age. They might do this check themselves or use another company to do the check. These methods include:

- Facial age estimation – you show your face via photo or video, and technology analyses it to estimate your age.

- Open banking – you give permission for the age-check service to securely access information from your bank about whether you are over 18. The age-check service then confirms this with the site or app.

- Digital identity services – these include digital identity wallets, which can securely store and share information which proves your age in a digital format.

- Credit card age checks – you provide your credit card details and a payment processor checks if the card is valid. As you must be over 18 to obtain a credit card this shows you are over 18.

- Email-based age estimation – you provide your email address, and technology analyses other online services where it has been used – such as banking or utility providers - to estimate your age.

- Mobile network operator age checks – you give your permission for an age-check service to confirm whether or not your mobile phone number has age filters applied to it. If there are no restrictions, this confirms you are over 18.

- Photo-ID matching – this is similar to a check when you show a document. For example, you upload an image of a document that shows your face and age, and an image of yourself at the same time – these are compared to confirm if the document is yours. """

I think that is the point... Like most things UK government related, this is about what is best for us, and what is best for us, is no porn, and no privacy.

Handing over details to sleazy websites is never going to happen. Everyone is going to use a VPN. That's the point. Next year, maybe the year after the government will concede that age verification didn't work and more needs to be done. Then they come for your VPN.

The BBC, always the mouthpiece of the UK government is already laying the groundwork [0].

I know how tinfoil hat this sounds, but at this point, its not a conspiracy, its just how the government that created and sold nudge units [1] operates. It's decades of thinking "they won't do that" then watching them do it.

edit: spelling

That's not quite right. These male chicks are from fertilized eggs. They are the ones that, had they been female, would have become the next set of egg layers.

The eggs we eat, at least the factory farmed variety, and most / all from commercial egg farms are not fertilized. Hens lay whether they've known the touch of a rooster or not. [0].

[0] https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/can_you_hatch_an_egg_bought_fr...

hormone testing was first and can work from 9 days (eggs hatch at day 21). Optical means (tend to work at a later point in the process around day 13-15), including various forms of spectroscopy (NMR, IR, etc): shine a light at the egg and look for differences.

Egg should be absolutely fine, but there will be a chick in there, so if you wanted to eat it like an egg, you might end up closer to balut than you want / expect.

I've seen it: It's gruesome, but I'm not sure if in-ovo sexed roosters have a better end, or if its just more palatable to watch.

Eggs take 21 days to hatch, in-ovo techniques work at 9 - 15 day post laying, depending on the technique used. Couldn't find any details on how developed the embryo is at 15 days, but 2/3's done feels pretty far along.

Not a fan of the delivery, but, I think its an interesting point, and that both movements have a similar idea at their core, that life begins at birth / hatching. I think the parallels are interesting.

You don't usually leave roosters whole if you keep them for food. You make Capons, they get huge, almost like turkeys but with all the juicy benefits of a fat chicken.

The problem with egg roosters is that the breads used for eggs are so badly bred for maximum egg laying that they mostly unusable for good food. Might be good for pet food and canned stuff.

The real solution here is to demand mixed bread chickens that lay slightly fewer eggs, but can also be used for good meat.

I really like the CMU Agents Company approach of simulating a real world environment [0]. Is it perfect, no. Does it show you want to expect in production, not really, but it's much closer than anything else I've seen.

MCP could have cracked the web opeb. The terrible standard was all about clients and local servers all on the same host.

Imagine it, everything is open, servers are as simple as a pip install ... You have full control of what servers you install. What functions you turn on, what access you allow.

Now everyone and their blog is sticking MCPs on their servers and locking them down behind subscriptions and paywalls.

What a wasted opportunity.

400mg is only about 3 doubles. Thanks for the heads up

I'm worried about my caffeine intake. ADHD diagnosed but never medicated.

I've been a heavy coffee drinker since i was a teenager.

I'm sitting at 13 double espressos today which is about average.

Lately the instant sleepiness post coffee isn't worth the focus, and I'm starting the think medication would be a healthier choice

the chemicals are phthalates, in this case di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP)

I must be half asleep, I was expecting some novel machine learning algorithm. I was pleasantly surprised to find a spaceflight algorthim instead.

I am completely out of my depth, so have nothing constructive to add. But it sounds interesting.

> Sounds very human

well yes, of course it does, that article goes out of its way to anthropomorphize LLMs, while providing very little substance

> The first neural network, the Mark 1 Perceptron, was invented during WWII for OCR.

You're about a decade off, the Mark 1 Perceptron was created in 1958 [0]. The original paper (A Logical Calculus of the Ideas Immanent in Nervous Activity) that introduced the idea however was written during WW2 (1943) [1].
