> Not sure what you mean.

Many of the things one can at least ask permissions for as I read it on the Apple system are actually purposefully simply not available due to similar concerns.

Many of the leading Wayland developers believe in this. The Enlightenment lead developer for instance does not believe a programmatic way to make screenshots or listen to keypresses should ever exist. I had some debates with him about this and he believes the risks are too high as well as revealing that he seemed to believe that streaming videogames did not work by way of a third party tool that captures the screen contents, but that each video game had this functionality built in, which is certainly not the case and that he believes this might explain his reluctance for such an a.p.i. to facilitate this.

> But at any rate, Wayland is completely optional. You can keep running X and nobody will stop you. People will keep running X without issue for a very long time. This is very different from what the Apple world is like.

Opinions are divided on that matter. The reality is that many of the developers of Xorg have abandoned in in lieu of Wayland and many Wayland developers, many former Xorg developers are clear in their opinion that they see it as a replacement, not an alternative and eventually expect everyone to switch.

Whether that will happen is anyone's guess. They are often met with counter arguments that Xorg and the X11 protocol itself simply has features that many businesses and private individuals need for their lifelihood so there is going to be commercial incentive to pick up maintainership should they abandon it. They have also conceded heavily already on many of the features they initially said where either unneeded or a security risk when they realized the reality that many people outside of their bubble did use them. Libinput originally did not have any mouse acceleration settings on the argument that no one would want to turn it off or fine tune it to begin with, but now has it when they realized that unlike what they thought, demand for the ability to fine tune or turn off mouse acceleration is higher than they anticipated.
And you’re very welcome, NetFort. Sparcstations? Oh my - zippy little guys that outgrew the VME crates of earlier Sun boxes. Like you, I loved the astonishing speeds of new computers - 25, 50, even 100MHz clocks. And in such small packages — why all that power could fit in an office!
right. but using a VPN plus a fresh VM running Ubuntu can mostly do the trick. In a pinch, just keep a few different versions of various browsers around when you plan to surf a site that you don't want associated with you. Or change your screen resolution or turn off your fonts.

My point was that fingerprinting is much more practical and useful as a positive form of identity verification than it is as a tracking device, as long as it isn't (and hopefully never will be) mandatory to lock into browsers.
If OpenAI would release more than masturbation papers, yes, we could compare them. Right now, we only know GPT-4 does things, and looks smart when you ask it stuff.
Correction: just as unethical
I agree with this, especially for a small team like this seems to be. Teams are most effective when they enjoy working together.
Interestingly enough, the graph of bank failures looks like the ones Mandelbrot shows in his works about transmission errors if I recall correctly (can't check right now). My conjecture is that markets encode information rather than other things like value etc. Failures are just transmission errors.
As seems to be the case with most things. Everything done in moderation. Overconsumption of anything will bring harm in different ways.

I also believe some changes to ones personality is less than ideal, but more ideal than say, chronic opioid/stimulant/etc use over time

I think Stallman just shot himself in the foot by even revealing that much. Unless a lot of people do the same thing, it's very easy to conclude that it was Richard Stallman who sent that WGET request, granted a few variables. The difficult part is perhaps tracking it back to its actual source, but I don't think Stallman is that hard to find. All this is of course extremely chilling. I'm sure a profile could be built up around WGET requests, and then employing some "likelihood machine" on it, to make educated guesses as to how likely it is that the WGET request was actually from Richard Stallman. I think we've just stumbled upon a new and "fun" Where's Wally game here!
Just remember, a junior is someone who has little work experience, NOT someone who isn't qualified.

If you hire someone that knows the work but just needs experience you will find yourself working with someone who is engaged and enthusiastic. If you hire the latter you will spend all of your time holding their hand.
I can't help it, but reading Dom McLaughlin's testimony (scroll down to the examples) "...let's just say I'm not the most photogenic person..." makes me want to instantly go out and hunt down every picture of me ever made and nuke it from space :-).
Advertising, which is how twitch makes money, look at GOOG, FB, Snap revenues, companies are bracing for a recession so have dialed back ad budgets.

I have "prefer English, German as fallback". That alone makes me almost unique as well. Not fully (like your special config :D), but enough that other resist fingerprinting options become meaningless.
I hope loot boxes are next on the chopping block. These bans and ad restrictions should be EU wide though. I don't understand why they're not.

AFAIK Finland is Europe's biggest gambler. When I went there every bar or club had slot machines, roulette, or poker table. It was insane. Although AFAIK most of their winnings from gambling go to the state to fund social services instead of the pockets of some private megacorporation in Cyprus.

How can I download it?
Honest question - a cursory search turned up nothing
The real snag comes from putting text into a canvas. Nobody can agree on what fonts they have installed, and of course there are all kinds of subtle variations from one version of the “same” font to the next, and then everyone has different ideas about hinting, kerning, stem widths, etc, etc, etc. You can fingerprint basically everyone just from that information alone.
Can't agree more, and we are back to square 0 wondering how can we find the good stuff again after it gets buried under the mass-SEO-optimized random garbage.
> One of my past managers said i shouldn't have to be "friends" with any of my reports and only look for their output qualities.

There are many reasons for this, but at least consider this: when team will grow, you will not be able to be friends with everyone, and those not included will feel that they are treated differently.

Then the trust will start to erode, because the only way to be included is to be "friends" with you - it will create all sorts of things in the working environment you don't want.

Working with friends is awesome, but only when they are on your level. Having friends as your reports is completely different beast.
It lowers the surface area for bugs (and thus vulnerabilities). WASM is gloriously simple right now. Adding a garbage collector dramatically increases the security surface area.
> also, one could just roll it up into a wall of fine print or something, no?

That also violates it. Facebook just lost in court in the first instance trying that.

> I think browsers need a "web app" mode and a "surf mode"

Agree. It will be hard to define a standard for "surf mode", but in addition to privacy benefits there would be security benefits for the browser container as well.

Not for GPT-4 it isn't.
I know NS-10 boxes from my first studio experiences in the 80s. You somehow internalize the frequency response and you know that there are NS-10 in every studio, even semi-professionell ones. That makes it easy to compare the sound of your mix in several different studios.

Nowadays there are many monitors available with a much better frequency response for less money, e.g. KRK or Behringer. But still many studios have NS-10 just for compatibility.

For anyone who this is news to: This is why I always call the "I don't care about cookies" extension an adtech submarine, because it deceives you into thinking it’s all about cookies, when the permission you give automatically in many cases are about tracking, so using that extension will often have you consent that fingerprinting you and creating a profile based on that is perfectly fine.
I personally use wget because you can download files without any extra flags.
It doesn't matter and it's still a theatre. Those malicious applications can do what they want regardless by editing arbitrary files and obtain the same end.

The supposed threads of malicious applications keylogging and stealing your website passwords to worry about is rather strange when such an application can edit the files on your system such that you're starting a modified version of a web browser they injected with whatever code they want to do the same. In fact, this is probably easier to do than try to write some kind of a.i. that filters what it thinks are “password keypresses” opposed to altering the code of the web browser such that it simply sends whatever is being put into a field marked as “password” on a website.

It's a moral panic boogeyman that has no actual implications for actual real life security. Like quite a bit of “security” talk these days. Much of it comes down to the “door in your room” analogy where “security experts” talk about putting a big door in the middle of one's living room with an impenetrable lock on the idea of kindly asking criminals to only go through that door to steal things. In reality they'll just walk around it, and now one has an inconvenient door in the middle of one's living room.
How many clients have you refused to work with for ethical reasons after they offered you money?
I tried that last time, and got upsold a bunch of 'variations', and looking back on everything I bought the next day, none of them looked all that great. The style was too much... well let's say 'country' (which is an accurate reflection of where I am, but I think a professional photographer should be able to adjust to a client's wishes, and I told her specifically what look I did not want - my market is not local), and the studio didn't even have a few colors of shirts I could try on, nor could she advise on the most basic of styling. I mean, they don't even need whole shirts, just get a few collar/shoulder panels for people to throw on ffs.

I'm soured on the whole 'support local' thing (not only because of this episode). Too many chumps.
The GNU/Hurd in the IA didn’t already do it?
It would be a lot of work to make it mimic a common profile though.
While its true that biodiversity is a huge problem and many things you write are correct, your numbers aren't quite right. Humans and their farm animals is not 95% of all biomass. Molluscs, for example, make up as much biomass as humans + farm animals + mammals + birds.
I think the problem will be context and token limit size. Right now, GitHub Copilot uses the current file “and related files” as context. But if you have several thousand files, even GPT-4 won’t be able to handle that. Either you need to cleverly know exactly which files to feed in for context or have a very very high token limit size.
My happy greetings back to you!

Those times opened my eyes as well. It marked a watershed between days of computing innocence (an academic playground) and the era of a global commercial system with deep implications of security.
A reduction to 20mph and only a 40% increase in cyclists? How many drivers are negatively affected by the changes?
The short answer which should be obvious... regulatory doesn't work, legal doesn't currently work.

The burden of proof is on the claimant, and with proper information control you can't ever meet that burden of proof. It becomes an ant versus a gorilla instead of David vs. Goliath.

Tell me, how do you differentiate a simple random alpha-numeric string from another random string that may have been generated as a fingerprint.

Mathematically do you think there's any way to actually prove one way or the other? If not, how would that bias the system if the person is adversarial and lies.

The only way to prevent this is to make sure the information is nonsensical.

Preventing collection would identify you in a way that they can prevent access. Even though websites are public, you see this happening with any captcha service.
There is no value in labelling fallacies, unless you have a legitimate point to make outside of being contrarian.
>Why allow crypto ads at all then?

Good question. Maybe because democracy, capitalism, free speech and free market, or a combination of those? I guess crypto hasn't been among us long enough for it to be proven as dangerous as smoking, gambling, drugs, or other stuff heavily regulated here. Would like to see them banned though.

On a similar issue, I noticed in Austria, when you go to invest in Derivatives on one of these online trading platforms, they're mandated by law to tell you upfront how many of their customers loose money on them. Last time I checked on one platform they said something like ~82% of people loose their money. Ouch!

It seems very good to be mandated by law to inform the Average Joe about the real calculated risk of such gambles, before they burn away their life savings because some crypto bro on Youtube or troll on wallstreetbets told them they'll be millionaires.

Even if this were the case - which I don’t actually believe, but… - it would be straightforward for that law to also constrain these purposes and prevent data sharing with non-worthy operations. At present it’s basically a free for all.

But we’re talking here about major corporations who would (largely) follow the law if there was a law with teeth commensurate with the potential rewards form abuse of privacy.
Can you provide any proof that "regulatory doesn't work"?

Might be my European outlook, but consumer law has been stupidly effective at curbing abuses from companies here and was much more effective than playing the technology race USA is trying to fight. There's always a next side-step, the next abuse a company can invent - and you keep trying to push the responsibility of avoiding it to users (by adding more and more onerous technology) instead of punishing the abusers.

I've tried most of these and I gotta say, ChatGLM is actually pretty good. The Chinese responses are sometimes indistinguishable from those of ChatGPT, and it's only a 6B model.

Sadly, whenever I use harder questions or logical ones, it performs terribly. It also occasionally uses Chinese adjectives (albeit correctly) when responding in English.
Yes but the point is GPT-3/4 must include at least one website that prohibited scraping, thus OpenAI should not be using their GPT models, by their own logic.

It is usually just a ratio of urban to rural voting population, which is a proxy for some combination of ratio of young to old voting population, or ratio of white to non white voting population, or ratio of university educated to non university educated voting population.

Minnesota’s urban population is much higher than Iowa’s, so state level politics are more dictated by voters who are some combination of younger/non white/university educated, whereas in Iowa, it is the opposite.
Imagine your laundry and dryer unit both break. Sure, you can wash everything by hand and hang dry, but I’m assuming most people are going to scramble to get it fixed instead of throwing up their hands and going back “to the old way”
Is it really that hard? I haven't seen anyone from US actually attempt any accountability - zero punishments for spam callers, zero punishments for data collectors, not even a semblance of attempt to punish data traffickers?
I agree, that's the problem, but I think it's still somewhat complicated.

Imagine someone posting an extremely well written and insightful postmortem of an outage. It would show advanced and accurate usage of all kinds of tools to get to the bottom of the outage. It would be extremely useful reading for anyone investigating a similar outage, but the outage never actually occurred.

Now you have both ground truth accuracy and misleading fiction at the same time. Whether or not that makes the post useful depends entirely on the conclusions you're drawing from it.
I wasn't trying to defend the US laundering their fishing through third world countries. At all. That's the height of hypocrisy. I was angry that the other poster considered it immoral for one country to have more people in it than another country. When obviously that's not something they can control, and shouldn't be blamed for. Per person, this all works out to the fact that humanity is wildly overfishing the oceans. I'm more on your side that the wealthy countries - per person - bear more responsibility for fixing it. But I don't believe it's helpful to blame poorer countries for having too many children.

Your point might even be that "fingerprinting is much more practical and useful as a positive form of identity verification" but we all know how fingerprinting tech is and will be used: to track users even more and try sell even more crap to them because that's what almost the entire internet is all about.
