> Some people in some large companies have absolutely cared about social good, art, and other things outside of financials.

But companies do not care about social good, art, and other things outside of financials. A company is a generalization of sorts of all the people within the company who have influence over it's direction. 100% of people working for companies have a profit motive. That's why people work for for companies.

This is great. Thanks.

Try fingerprinting the behaviour in the sessions. Over time you should be able to distinguish between various automated tools and live people.

I can't wait until we can start mining our landfills for plastics, metal, and intact Twinkies.

If you are averse to the Daily Mail, you can try this article instead:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/22/mt-everest-gre...

"Is Isaac 1 teleoperated? Isaac 1 is autonomous for Laundry Flow and Daily Reset by default, with teleoperation assistance when needed to guarantee we complete tasks."

Offline and autonomous or never in my house.

"ZKP makes it possible for people to prove that something about them is true without exchanging any other data. So, for example, a person visiting a website can verifiably prove he or she is over 18, without sharing anything else at all."

But not "...without sharing anything else even when setting up your token."

Can I prove that some cryptographic token A) doesn't contain any PII and B) that the token itself can't be used as an ID tied to my identity in a Google or government database?

No and no. So, I do not support schemes like this.

Would this also be a strategy to get all Android users to have a Google account? Once you are locked in to using Google's Play Store then can then require login to even install apps. I don't have a Google account. I never will. If I am required to get one to use my phone(Fairphone4, eOS) then I will cease using the phone. There is nothing in my life that requires me to have an Android phone.

Everything they are doing is dual use. Thus I don't feel the benefit.

I would say that all forms of incipient fascism and totalitarianism can really only be stopped by a motivated populace willing to step away from feelings of safety, from their endless entertainment, and embrace a bit of risk and stand up physically to their governments an yell at the top of their lungs: NO!

Sitting in your cozy home coding and thinking you are making a difference is bullshit. We are physical beings who ultimately fear physical violence from those who would oppress us. The response must be physical. Stand up, protest, make noise.

Can I prove that some cryptographic token A) doesn't contain any more information other than what the article outlines and B) that the token itself can't be used as an ID tied to my identity in a government database?

No and no. So, I do not support schemes like this.

Who cares about campaigning? It's whats happens after the election that matters: Does the representative represent their constituents? That's not an electoral system issue.

Each eligible voter should get one vote of equal weight to all others. The EC breaks that.

One comment really nails the problem with this sort of thing:

" People in Western countries don't realize how bad the situation on the ground actually is¹; random Ukrainian flags showing up on your work monitor can result in severe problems for you (like losing you job, or worse), especially if you work in the government sector. If they show up on your laptop in a random cafe or an airport, you might very well get a beating from one of many "war heroes" that walk around the cities these days.

No, the government sector doesn't just make missiles and bombs, it also covers schools, hospitals, many other things."

So I wonder if I go around saying I'm "pro-fascist", it's OK now because I'm not saying I'm "anti-fascist"? But that would be false of me. So maybe I can only declare I'm "fascism-neutral"? That would also be false.

For LLMs there is no consciousness.

In my experience very few Americans set their A/C to anything above 75F.

This is great! As someone with one thumb that can't bend at either joint and another that doesn't bend well I've been a single finger typer on my phone. Thanks to all involved for this privacy respecting swipe keyboard!

"Who is at risk?

Sporotrichosis affects otherwise healthy individuals, often those working in agriculture or with plants or plant materials, such as packing straw or thatching. It also affects individuals exposed to the fungus during leisure outdoor activities associated with skin abrasions. Contact with domestic or feral cats, particularly among veterinarians and others looking after cats, may also lead to infection in some regions."

How do they keep the temperature of the borehole high enough so that the vapours don't condense on the borehole(and equiment) on their way out?

> It's why a Tiktok sale was forced.

I think that has more to do with controlling narratives that the USG doesn't like.

Imagine what the NSA has on us.

Oops. Just just added to my "Frequent criticism of US military, surveillance, and big tech (many comments)." score.

They knew all along how their companies could profit from surveillance and propaganda.

So it seems this is a system where the server only does encrypted storage and minimal processing on plaintext that it is allowed to decrypt. I was hoping it was a FHE implementation where the server does computation on the encrypted data. Still waiting for that.

They'll pay the price if it means their data centers are immune to the anger of the commoners who are being surveilled, analyzed, and manipulated by systems running on these data centers.

No mention was made of eliminating the siloxane use by astronauts: leave-in hair conditioner, deodorant, etc.

I wonder if they track PFAS/PFOS contamination also?

  “We just launch it and we know everything will be dead – everything that will be found there in this particular area will be dead,” says Kokhanovskyy. “There is no connection to the drone at all, you cannot see the video, nothing… Everything it sees will be killed.”

Because there are never any civilians caught in the middle of two warring armies, right? I think the ICC will be getting real busy soon.
