notinmykernel··on Gemini API and Google AI Studio Now Offer Grounding with Google Search
Because Google wants it for you...
notinmykernel··on New iMac with M4
I can make one, yes. We thought it was irresponsible to release it at the time. But hey, times change. Will update shortly.
notinmykernel··on New iMac with M4
Yes. It is possible intercept keystrokes for an Apple keyboard that has been previously connected to a computer or laptop. It was tested as part of this vulnerability for Apple shortcuts: https://jestlandia.github.io/apple-shortcuts-vulnerability-1....

You still have to switch it "on" which means it is emitting a BT signal. It leaves users vulnerable to keylogging via BT. It's well-attested and was reported to Apple in Q4 2022.

Ideally the on/off switch would not control both the power and BT.

I like the magic mouse, and I care that I can't charge it while using it. I also care that I have to activate bluetooth in order to use it, even if it's plugged in. Same with the keyboard. WTFF.

It'd be awesome if Apple could make skins for the iMac. That way it wouldn't look as dated in 3-5 yrs.
notinmykernel··on Amazon Removed Download and Transfer Option for New Kindles
I think that's the point. Amazon doesn't want to share.
notinmykernel··on Amazon adds gasoline discounts for Prime members
I cancelled my Amazon Prime subscription 2 years ago and couldn't be happier. Good riddance.
notinmykernel··on FTC's rule banning fake online reviews goes into effect
It's not a conspiracy theory. It's business as usual for AWS. I'm all for righteousness but that's not applicable to the US Government and DOJ. People are bought and sold all the time.
notinmykernel··on Yann LeCun:India Must Embrace Open Source,Invest in Research to Become an AI Hub [video]
Didn't realize LeCun had crossed over into political analyst. Meta sure does give people imagined affordances.
notinmykernel··on FTC's rule banning fake online reviews goes into effect
It seems the gift of free AWS cloud services reconciles all harm Amazon continues to do against customers and employees alike. The government will need to locate its backbone.

*immoral and illegal

notinmykernel··on Anthropic publicly releases AI tool that can take over the user's mouse cursor
What happened to the whole "importance of prioritizing safety and ethics in AI development" and "responsible scaling" mission statement? Funny how fast this gets dropped. Where is the government body enforcing accountability?
notinmykernel··on [dead]
Amazon is somehow become more deplorable than Walmart. Didn't think it was possible.
notinmykernel··on FTC's rule banning fake online reviews goes into effect
Amazon is currently providing a LLM-generated summary of these faked customer reviews. To abide by the FTC ruling, Amazon would now have to prove that all of their training data is legitimate customer reviews. Do you think they will actually do that?
notinmykernel··on FTC's rule banning fake online reviews goes into effect
Amazon must be quaking in their boots.
notinmykernel··on iPhone Mirroring at work may expose employees’ personal information
FYI: Amazon has been doing this to all employees who download any work related apps, since at least 2020.
notinmykernel··on SpaceX prevails over ULA, wins military launch contracts worth $733M
Blue Origin could never.
notinmykernel··on Google shifts Gemini app team to DeepMind
AGI here we come!
notinmykernel··on Upgrading Uber's MySQL Fleet
Agree. Repetition (e.g., crucial) in ChatGPT is an issue.
notinmykernel··on Dave Clark, formerly of Amazon/Flexport, raises $100M for supply chain venture
Dave Clark is poison.
notinmykernel··on Meta confirms it trains its AI on any image you ask Ray-Ban Meta AI to analyze
This has already happened with ChatGPT.
notinmykernel··on Meta confirms it trains its AI on any image you ask Ray-Ban Meta AI to analyze
how does this work in a 2-party consent state, like California? seems illegal.
notinmykernel··on AI agent promotes itself to sysadmin, trashes boot sequence
I wonder how many have already been pushed under the guise of human-agent (e.g., copy-paste from ChatGPT/CoPilot).
notinmykernel··on Farewell to the car CD player, source of weirdly deep musical fandoms
I love my CD car player.
notinmykernel··on T-Mobile pays $16M fine for three years' worth of data breaches
As part of the agreement, TMobile has to harden IT security and show proof (e.g., CISO who reports regularly to feds, adoption of Zero Trust, adoption of minimal data retention policy). Why TMobile must have their hand held like this is beyond me.
notinmykernel··on Amazon hiring nuclear data center engineers
Thin veil to disguise the reignition of nuclear arms race.
notinmykernel··on NSA's Amazon-developed cloud environment progressing 'well'
It's how Amazon pays its fines. Amazon gives away free/heavily discounted cloud to government. It makes government dependent on Amazon, so Amazon won't go bankrupt. Pretty gross.
notinmykernel··on FTC: Vast Surveillance of Users by Social Media and Video Streaming Companies
Do you think this effort was somehow scaled back?
