It's the same with Shibari, that's in fact a lot more dangerous than choking if not done properly. Because choking you can simply stop when you notice it's going wrong. A Shibari rope that isn't secured and suddenly slips to the neck takes time to cut.

Yet Shibari is viewed as an art form because it's much more stylish.

But people really into this kind of stuff are also very much into consent and safe practices. Is there really a wave of accidental chokings?

Funnily enough, I happened to visit fakespot for the first time in ages today, after I discovered that reviewmeta is dead. It looks like the functionality has already been bundled into Firefox/Chrome extensions instead of being a standalone website, and they're already pushing an AI angle. That was quick.
The definite party is almost certainly Google, who probably implemented an unsupported API to hack this feature, and then are expecting people to blame Microsoft when it inevitably changes. (News about Microsoft adjusting how default apps are set went out like two months ago.)

Microsoft has, whether you like it or not, a documented and official way to set your app as a default app. And apps which growth hack around that will probably have problems.

Your article claims that rape levels have deceased with the expansion of internet pornography but that's statistically untrue, as they've almost doubled: https://www.statista.com/statistics/191137/reported-forcible...
"It seems that POPU (Problematic Online Porn Usage) is not only one subtype of hypersexual disorder, but currently the most prevalent since it also frequently involves masturbation. Although this is difficult to accurately determine given the anonymity and accessibility factors that make pornography use today so pervasive, we can at least confirm that the patron of consumption for pornography has changed for roughly the last decade. ... As far as we know, a number of recent studies support this entity as an addiction with important clinical manifestations such as sexual dysfunction and psychosexual dissatisfaction. Most of the existing work is based off on similar research done on substance addicts, based on the hypothesis of online pornography as a ‘supranormal stimulus’ akin to an actual substance that, through continued consumption, can spark an addictive disorder. However, concepts like tolerance and abstinence are not yet clearly established enough to merit the labeling of addiction, and thus constitute a crucial part of future research. For the moment, a diagnostic entity encompassing out of control sexual behavior has been included in the ICD-11 due to its current clinical relevance, and it will surely be of use to address patients with these symptoms that ask clinicians for help."

Porn addiction has not been classified as an addiction in and of itself because researchers are unsure that it is its own addiction, or a subset of other sexual related addictions and disorders. So it is highly likely that porn is addictive, but medical professionals are hesitant to declare "porn addiction" as a diagnosis without seeing if it is separated from other problematic sexual behaviors.

I suspect Mozilla is large enough that they can do more than one thing at once. Some finance and legal people spending time on an acquisition is not the reason they haven't integrated gnome-keyring.
Why is it misleading? The article agrees with your contention that proptech has made sfr at scale feasible. But it highlights the downsides of that system for tenants.

And "Homeowners are increasingly incapable?" What does that even mean?
I agree with this take somewhat. I used to work with a guy who would talk about his great Sunday afternoon spent coding, or take a week off to write a book about being a more efficient developer. A fine enough co-worker and very dedicated to his job, but when he burnt out he burnt out hard.

Lots of developers have various degrees of that "revenge of the nerds" syndrome, but many (including myself) get over it somewhat as you get through a few waves of cool new tech fads, crunch times, and boring projects that have to get done and it just becomes a job to do.
I’m not sure if there is such a thing as “equitable” tokenization in that if you applied the same Byte Pair Encoding to a mostly Japanese corpus you would see many whole Japanese characters (犬, pronounced inu as a token as opposed to three bytes) and possibly words comprised of several characters or (say 日本語, Japanese language, pronounced nihongo). Note in both of those cases the number of bytes used to tokenize is the same or less than the number of roman letters to spell them out.

You’d get very different results if you used a different language and my guess is that if you applied BPE to a huge corpus that was balanced (same amount of Japanese, Korean, French, …) you’d get something mediocre for all of them.

On the other hand this article seems to show that GPT-4 does a good job with a terrible tokenization which leaves me thinking… Could we just give up on word parts entirely and fall back on character (or UTF-8) modeling?

The key insight when dealing with infinities is that the tools we use to deal with finite numbers extrapolate to infinite sets by talking about relationships between numbers, not individual numbers.

This is also how we get to the notion of infinities larger than other infinities.

> Water infiltration causes mould and other nasty problems for the people inside

Then build it accordingly - use water management techniques such as impermeabilization, double walls, drainage, and so many others that ensure the building is safe and sound because rain tends to fall on them anyway and it's not like things like green roofs are a universally bad thing - they even help with heat management. And suspended gardens were even a thing in Babylon.

> It shouldn't have to be said, but the main function of a building is to keep nature out.

No. It's to keep people comfortable, to foster human relationships and social activities within and around it, gently guiding people towards a goal without them realizing it. Architecture was never about buildings - it's about the people who use them.
It has been a great victory for centralisation.
ibm 4381 running vm/cms - best platform ever. beautiful hardware, wonderful operating system, brilliant documentation.
I don't think there's that much backstory to it. Likely just a reference to the large number of thinly veiled sex work that goes on in most cities that people turn a blind eye too. Is easy to comment on something that happened 80 years ago where most of the individuals are dead. Talking about sex work that goes on today in your own city hits a lot closer to home.

Few people want to talk about how the prohibition on sex work in the US pushes it into the black market and contributes to sexual slavery, human trafficking, and abuse.
A host of Tory friend/family/donor's own licenses to produce cannabis, and any legalization of the product would result in their licenses becoming much less valuable.

Previous PM Theresa May’s husband Philip’s Capital Group is the largest investor in GW Pharmaceuticals, which mass produces it here for a foreign market. Previous GW chairman Geoffrey Guy is a major Tory donor. Our previous drug minister Victoria Atkins is married to Paul Kenward for fucks sake; boss of British Sugar, another medical cannabis supplier (now part of Associated British Foods). Funny enough, current CEO George Weston of ABF, member of one of Britain’s richest families, was found guilty of breaching charity law over donations of almost £1 million to the Conservative Party. I could keep going but it always makes me a little ill when I go too deep down these rabbit holes.

A government of ministers who insist the drug has “no medical value”, but still allows their chums to produce it under a special license. Doesn't sound suspicious at all, right?
Very interesting. I've only been using OpenAI APIs so this logit stuff is new to me.
Which, in case it wasn't clear, is exactly what I'm saying. What harms my soul differs from what harms your soul. The government should not be in the business of preventing the harm to one soul.
Why? The FBI pitched a fit over access to a shooter’s phone in the press a few years ago, then stopped.

> I suspect there isn't sufficient demand or skill for such a project.

IMHO more like: There is little to no profit in this, nor much motivations for AMD/Intel to provide this. But it does involve additional work, especially if the fTPM implementation they use currently does (partially) use code they got from other companies which they can't open source.

Through you wouldn't need a FPGA, for a TPM to really be secure you want it to be integrated into the CPU. And most times this means it's not a "special" physical chip but just a "standard co-processor" running some software. E.g. in case of ARM Android smart phones it's likely a more or less normal Cortex M0 processor (and it likely runs more then "just" a TPM, e.g. some DRM pipe protection code).

So theoretically you would just need to publish the "bar metal" code and anyone could analyze it and then build and run it e.g. using qemu (if qemu can handle co-processors idk.). And by also allowing to extract the build code from the CPU combined with reproducible builds you could also verify it runs what it says it runs (kinda, I mean who says there isn't a hardware backdoor rewriting the code, and it being a FPGA doesn't help there because the FPGA hardware could also rewrite the FPGA bin-code.... at least theoretically)

- Unlock bootloader as phone manufacturers should not be trusted. Even if the ROMs manufacturers provide are open-source, the firmwares are usually not.

- Unlocking bootloader also makes the phone receive secure updates again.

- Firefox is a great browser that can resist fingerprints. The sandbox function on Android should be achieved by restrictions on permissions and storage isolations.

- Traffic over Tor is also much better than just over telecommunicator. A small fraction of non-privacy nodes is also not a problem as routes are always changed, and how can a organize contorl most nodes?

>employees going elsewhere

That's strange to me. I'm employed in order to receive a paycheck. If receiving my paycheck is contingent on me not using ChatGPT, then so be it, what do I care?
If that's what you want, then update your license to require that.
The usual argument for Mercurial, though, is that it's easier to use and more resistant to getting the local repo into odd states than Git. That tends to make Mercurial a better option for people without significant Git background, and definitely makes bad user experiences of that sort with Mercurial interesting.

I guess what I'm getting at is that Mercurial supporters tend to view it as distinctly better than Git, so sticking to Git just because of its widespread usage does feel like a sort of defeat... One could say similar about Fossil, a much more ambitious project that has faltered probably mostly due to Git claiming all the mind share.
At least deleting from the main site reduces the chance of someone stumbling upon something "bad" that causes them to target you.
Just more FUD being spewed from someone who knows nothing about Tor.

It's Tor not TOR FYI.

> Note: even though it originally came from an acronym, Tor is not spelled "TOR". Only the first letter is capitalized. In fact, we can usually spot people who haven't read any of our website (and have instead learned everything they know about Tor from news articles) by the fact that they spell it wrong.

We all know which one you fall under.

> Node compromise: It costs less than 5 dollars a month to create a TOR node. There are currently ~8000 TOR nodes/relays in existence. That is 40k USD per month (at most). Do you really believe state actors can't afford 40k USD per month to compromise the vast majority of TOR nodes? Even a single millionaire can compromise the vast majority of TOR nodes.

As someone who has ran a Tor exit node for 5+ years, lolol at this statement. Pure ignorance.
Ain't that too dramatic?

Yes, I can imagine such a huge bank to cause deep troubles in financial markets and real economy and this impacting the livelihood of people all around the globe.

But saying that "western world" will essentially end when it didn't in face of world wars, grave epidemics and plagues, etc seems definitely too dramatic.

You are probably better off with GrapheneOS + Orbot.

Here is the list of issues I have with this blog.

1) LineageOS https://github.com/beerisgood/Smartphone_Security#custom-rom...

2) Riseup email, they have a mailing list, which apparently makes them unable to add a proper DMARC policy. As a result, anyone can spoof an email at any @riseup.net address, and the email would show up as a legitimate email on most recipient mail servers and they do not encrypt the data at rest per-user with the user's own keys like ProtonMail.

3) Session is great but lacks PFS (perfect forward secrecy)

4) bromite usually behind in updates which leaves it vulnerable to exploits

btw, On Android, Firefox is still less secure than Chromium-based alternatives: Mozilla's engine, GeckoView, has yet to support site isolation or enable isolatedProcess.
Except they did secure their API. Take this implementation: https://github.com/xtekky/gpt4free/blob/main/gpt4free/italyg...

The site has a rate limit, doesn't expose their API key, and it has a CSRF token. In terms of non-intrusive measures they could have taken, they did it all right.

So what's left on the table is intrusive stuff: HN has a lot of people constantly whining about how they're stuck in captcha hell because their hand built Lenovo running Firefox on BSD compiled on an abacus isn't recognized as a real client... but aggressive captchas are going to become even more pervasive if every GPT based product must fight off proxy attempts.
It is definitely about meeting the needs of advertisers, by implementing new methods to violate user privacy. Every other browser has simply blocked advertisers from collecting this information, but Google is an ad company, and hence is anti-consumer at heart.

I think people who don't like it are just afraid of where this appears to be heading, and they are just resisting the idea of employers gaining anymore control of other aspects of peoples lives. Of course, the people who do this are technically choosing to give up this control to employers on their own volition, but it's possible to imagine a future where this becomes very normal and difficult to avoid

Of course it had a real cost on real people, immigration to the USA causes a continuous brain drain in multiple countries that could use the skilled labour for their own benefits. I don't dispute that at all.

Outsourcing American wealth causing these companies to become wealthier, maybe it's time you direct your anger somewhere else, somewhere which is actually causing this issue, no? Instead of punishing workers who immigrated and generated wealth for your society. I can give you a tip: point it towards corporations :)

Good luck, mate.
It is hopelessly naive to question this, however some random documented examples in recent times: The NSA got the german BND to spy on european company Airbus.

Show HN: Littlecow Get paid for browsing the internet (Open Source)
Hi HN!

TL;DR: We are launching a Chrome Extension which sends your html pages to our servers for publicly accessible sites like Amazon or Airbnb. We process them and sell the data through MovingLake. After sales are done, we send a chunk of the revenue back to Littlecow contributors using ETH.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/littlecow/gknglaag...

https://github.com/MovingLake/littlecow

After working for a year on MovingLake we have bumped many times with customers requesting public data from marketplace sites such as Amazon and Airbnb. Folks are interested in benchmarking, price analysis, competitive landscape, investment opportunities and so on. We have been reticent to run scrapers / proxies on our infra and so finally came up with the idea of building Littlecow. Crowdsourcing these data is great and we believe is a win / win for users, customers as well as companies hosting these sites.

+ For Users: Getting paid for browsing the internet is amazing! Not sure there's much to say here :). We obviously filter any and all PII we might get from our users. The final result is strictly about publicly accessible data.

+ For Customers: Data from big scrapers has the advantage of having great coverage, but the disadvantage of being stale most of the times. Customers purchasing the data from MovingLake / Littlecow would benefit from getting the most visited items refreshed in real-time.

+ For Hosting Sites: Popular sites get bombarded with scraping jobs running from all over the world. This not ideal at all and causes much unwanted traffic. Littlecow would fix this by sourcing the data organically from users directly when browsing the site.

Well that's it. Please install and contribute to the cause! And hope you'll be getting some tokens your way in appreciation for contributing your web surfing data.

Best,
