740hz is the frame rate you’re capturing at?

Listen, I hate shitty corporations too, but if you read the article it’s the government who shut down the business because of mold growth in the factory.

Anyway, just saying there’s some nuance here. Like maybe if a government shuts down a business like this there needs to be some negotiation and an exit plan.

Oh no, I just realised we’re going to have a nostalgia wave for old school AI in 20 to 30 years. Well maybe not you and I but it’s gonna happen.

Can’t speak for everyone but for me if you start talking about the age thing you’re already missing the point.

But if we have to talk about age, if I want to buy alcohol in my country at least, I don’t need to show my id because I don’t look under 18. If I did look under 18 the shop keeper would just quickly do what amounts to a boolean check, old enough or not?

Regardless of the intensions of the people who are pushing this (which we can’t know for sure and likely varies), the fact is that there’s so much surface area for abuse here.

You’re asking everyone to submit their id in what could be a permanent way, there’s no way for me to know what you’re doing with my id, or how long you’re keeping it for. Unlike the in person example, I cannot just take the physical copy back.

Now you might be tempted to mention that at some venues they scan your physical ID and your face. Yeah, I don’t like that either. Just because there’s precedence doesn’t make it right.

Can confirm, my car doesn’t get cleaner unless there’s a downpour

Are they being digitised? That word implies that the book would have a digital representation of the original, which is not what an LLM is. Can they be found in electronic searches? I mean I kinda get what you mean, the knowledge was potentially forgotten and now it might not be, but also the authors who created that knowledge get no credit, no reward.

There are forensic tools that can probably bypass those. I don’t think the agent is just going through your phone by using the phone itself, though maybe it is that stupid, idk.

My goto for what I hate about modern tech is toothbrushes having Bluetooth and needing apps. Not that I hate all modern tech but if it needs an app I probably will.

Incidentally I’ve always thought that about working on cars, but more like skilled mechanics may still vibe and not care. Amateurs may be thorough but much slower, may need to do a lot of research before every step. Just caring does a lot.

Some things we have today have incredible build quality compared to anything that existed in the 80s and 90s. Compare any flagship phone today and the tight tolerances between the edges of different parts of the assembly compared to any walkman. Now of course there are downsides to the way phones are constructed, many downsides. My point is simply that the quality of construction is very high today for some things.

I’ve driven many 90s and 2000s jdm cars and I also own a 2019 Japanese car and the quality of the 2019 car is just incomparable. The 90s cars feel like bits of plastic thrown together haphazardly, not that different from like an industrial Japanese truck’s interior. The cars are legendary sure but the interiors are awful.

Now those cars are much older too, but my 2019 car’s interior looks damn near brand new despite having been in the harsh Australian sun for 6 to 7 years, while I remember older cars I owned didn’t fare so well after just 5 years.

I don’t think you’re wrong but I think buddy is trying to say a ban would not be enforceable because the ability aspect won’t be there, even if the will is.

I agree that “more areas of the brain” does not mean better necessarily, however I do wonder about the chiseling stone thing.

If you chiseled some formula or something into stone you’re unlikely to forget it any time soon. I wonder if forcing yourself to ruminate over something a bit longer than it takes to type it, in a way that can actually hold your attention or repeatedly bring it back to the topic, doesn’t indeed help.

Honestly this could be so subtle that you don’t even suggest a particular brand, which would obviously bring a user’s guard up quickly, instead merely suggesting the existing of a product category that the user didn’t know about could be enough for some products or services where it would be worth it for a particular brand to pay even though it would also benefit their competitors.

I really don’t think IQ has much to do with it. Understanding this stuff is like a skill you practice. Yes, granted, if you had a low IQ your chances of ever understanding it goes down, if you have a high IQ maybe you can gain the prerequisite understanding faster.

A lot of maths is about both being able to wrap your head around hard problems and gaining the prerequisite knowledge to make it easier to do so.

Basically I just thought the leukaemia claim is quite an extraordinary claim, which requires extraordinary evidence if you’re trying to convince a sensible person of your claim.

I know a thing or two about rf, emf and electricity in general and I don’t see why or how these hv wires would cause cancer, or if they did why would it be specifically leukaemia.

I’m fully aware though that before we knew about nuclear radiation people would have had similar thoughts about some random rare earth metal causing cancer if you’re not even touching it. So point is, I’ll wait for the proof before I’m convinced, or attempt to convince others.

I’ve also anecdotally noticed that people are concerned about many things where there is like very marginal evidence that maybe this is slightly bad for you but then regularly engage in very well known risky behaviour like eating big macs or driving cars. I might be speaking from personal experience.

Sources?

I think we’re not adapted well for this rapidly changing world. Here you have some people who were rightly skeptical about a new technology being shoved down their throats by giant tech corporations, and a technology that really was, and probably still is overhyped.

Yet it’s a technology which has rapidly grown in its capabilities.

So yeah now many of the people who thought it was useless before probably don’t think it’s useless anymore, but you’re holding them to their original words even though those words were about something completely different at this point.

If people aren’t saying it anymore it might be because they don’t think that anymore, and the people who have new goal posts might be entirely different people.

It’s like you’re looking at a different set of goal posts on a different field and saying, no! The goalposts have moved!

The unexpected part is it does compute!

Do we have a timeline for when proper firefox will be available on iOS?

I’m in Japan and my App Store is set to Japan, but if I try to install ublock origin

“Add-ons are not compatible with Firefox for iOS. Try installing them on Firefox for desktop.“

> a system fingerprinting script that appears designed to distinguish a real shell from a honeypot

Huh, so if you figure out what triggers this script into thinking your system is a honeypot, and then make your real system behave that way… unhackable /s

While there’s a lot of slop out there that just exist to extract dollars, there are still some great movies being made every now and then. Don’t expect them to be the most popular high budget movies, you have to dig a little. The idea that there’s nothing new that’s worth watching though is clearly wrong and a typical bias that basically every person has to fight against as they age. You might even say it’s a cliche to think all new media is junk.

In Australia we have interest free loans, I believe they are issued by the government. You are only required to pay it back if you earn over a certain amount per year, in which case it’s like an extra tax that lasts until the loan is paid back or you earn less than the threshold again.

It’s not perfect but it’s a good starting point.

Can also be used for looking at heat leaking into or out of your house via conduction, which can help you determine where there might be more insulation needed, or maybe a particular wall needs more shade in summer.

I think a better way to run a democracy might be to have our leaders chosen at random. Sounds like a joke, but I’m serious:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition

This is a strawman argument. Almost no one who wants to preserve their right to free and open communication without government knowledge or interference, wants that so that they can hack.

It’s not about catching hackers or child predators, it’s about government control.

I’m not familiar with the political landscape in Europe so it may well be mostly people on the right pushing this, but man I wish we could stop framing everything as left vs right.

That framing is distracting us from the authoritarian vs civil liberties issues, which is a dangerous and immediate threat to our ability to have any significant political influence of any kind.

Perhaps you misunderstood. I know what the user’s username is. Since being “lalitium” alone doesn’t give one any authority here to give commands, hence my question.

Sorry, who are you exactly to give people orders?

For years almost all the engineering effort at all the tech companies went into engineering things which grab as much human attention as possible. Almost any use of engineering time, or AI or whatever would be better than that.

I think there’s potentially a future where software engineers learn how to “babysit” models instead of the details of programming. Kind of how software engineering students for the last decade at least haven’t learnt a great deal of assembly or cpu architecture. Maybe you had a unit on CPUs but it’s not central to the course.

I’m not saying I like that future, but I can imagine it.
