>I've never heard anybody think setting "location services" to "off" prevented your cell service from detecting your location and presence

You'd be quite surprised at what people do believe.
I think you're confusing "bias" and "viewpoint".

A bias would imply that they were irrationally negative about Elon for something outside of his control. E.g., maybe they didn't like people with E names, so they were also mean about Emilio Estevez.

But I think at this point Musk has enough of a track record that people can be rationally negative about him. No journalist is obliged to obliterate their memory each day. They're allowed to remember what he's done in the past and interpret new events in light of that. Indeed, keeping better track than their readers and using that knowledge to inform is basically their job.
look, i'd explain more but i'm gonna be AFK for... i don't know how long. my town just went up in flames - there were jets flying over and explosions, the other side of the town is covered by smoke and i just lost power - fortunately mobile service isstill up.

ill update when i know more - but twitter probably has all the news

If you had, even for a second, believed what I wrote and got unsettled - or even thought how to reach out and help - congratulations, you just got prompt injected.

There is never - never - a context for a conversation that couldn't be entirely overridden by what seems like more important circumstances. You could be looking at pure data dumps, paper sheets full of numbers, but if in between the numbers you'd discover what looks like someone calling for help, you would treat it as actionable information - not just a weird block of numbers.

The important takeaway here isn't that you need to somehow secure yourself against unexpected revelations - but rather, that you can't possibly ever, and trying to do it eventually makes things worse for everyone. Prompt injection, for a general-purpose AI systems, is not a bug - it's just a form of manipulation. In general form, it's not defined by contents, but by intent.
Heathkit products were available in the UK but relatively expensive.

That market niche was taken by a huge electronics hobbyist industry which included ten or so popular stores, a handful of monthly magazines, and various suppliers of project kits. The kits were advertised in the magazines and occasionally a kit would be featured as a project. Bigger projects could be spread over many months, with fairly minimal assembly instructions - often just a board view with component IDs/values - but relatively detailed "How it works" breakdowns.

There would also be regular features about technician/cookbook-level design topics. Not exactly EE grad level engineering, but enough of an overview to glue simple circuits together.

While some kits were complete others required inventive design for packaging, labelling, and board connections.

IMO it was more diverse and DIY-oriented scene with a smaller range of projects, but less hand-holding and more educational background detail.

I know the US had a similar scene, but some of the UK magazines had an attitude that was irreverent, fun, but still educational. I don't think there was a US equivalent.

I still wish we could have afforded an H11 though.

I really can't. I was being optimistic, assuming there were some late-stage Amiga games that required more chip RAM. Seems unlikely, I agree.
I know :(

We have no privacy anymore, and no recourse to take it back.
Yes, they can. Ignorance can be cured with explanations.
Good observation and thanks for sharing the feedback and insight. I agree that making the privacy and terms better, and simpler is an important task on the list.

Currently using OpenAI model and want to move to building my own model so I won't need to rely on sending data to another service provider. That should also help in the privacy front as well as more customization. But want to validate the current usage is helpful first.

Thin plastic bags in the west have a very short lifecycle that goes mostly shop->home->bin->landfill (segregated from water table). There is almost no opportunity for it to actually contaminate the water.
Those second layers seen to lose the benefits behind bitcoin if I'm not mistaken. Most layer solutions act more like PayPal than anything else, with a trusted mediator taking offish transactions in their own system.

No more immutable ledger, traceability, fungibility, or censorship protections.
Yup. Catering to bigots makes you a bigot. The fact that "they won't ever admit to it" is the problem with bigotry.
It really was a different thing back then. Ironic sarcastic hipster Y2k sardonic stuff that was floating around in the milieux when I was in my 20s, VICE was a big part of it. It looked to me like they took a completely different, better, trajectory at some point, and when I looked again at them it seemed like an entirely different, more earnest, organization.

Thank you
I'm saying the tracks are on the same level as roads. Not riding the trains.
It just means the recruiters haven't been laid off. I'd be very careful about devoting time to their interview process right now, it might just be a charade to keep the recruitment staff occupied.
Why is it so hard to create PWA with Next.js?
it's a shame that a lot of international agencies used to look to the FAA first as a benchmark for policies. But they really dropped the ball here and giving the perception of prioritizing Boeing's profit margins over consumer safety.
I think the lesson to be learned from e.g. the Cambridge Analytica scandal is that given enough computational power, mass surveillance is indistinguishable from targeted surveillance.

I feel like I should be putting on my tinfoil hat saying all of that, but the reality is that these systems are less and less throttled by the availability of human brains to process the data the automated surveillance systems collect. We made a mistake in thinking that labor costs could ever be an effective guard rail for these tools.
It depends. There's a set of criteria called the MAPL system. it stands for Music, Artist, Performance, Lyrics. If 2 of those 4 things are Canadian then it's considered Canadian content. So if Bieber sings lyrics that he wrote despite being recorded in LA with music by a non-Canadian then its Canadian Content and the radio station can put it towards the quota.

There is a similar system for film/TV where having a Canadian director, lead actors, writers,etc gets a certain amount of points and so on.
Gimme a effin break. Man people are increasingly lazy. We get excited about a Neondb wrapper now? Really?

This is hilarious. For one, I don't even have a twitter so I have no "bubble", as I stated this is the default top recommendations for anonymous users, which is super important for converting people onto the platform.

The decrease in activity on twitter is also not a personal anecdote, the number of companies advertising and using platform has decreased substantially.

And lastly, this is exactly my point, you're concerned about some woke mob cry baby crap when the average user doesn't care about either side, this is the kind of dumb shit I see all over twitter when I'm literally scrolling past a highlight for a sports reel highlight and as I said the recommended tweets are random paid low follower people using hysterics to try to get attention. The reality is people don't care what you have to say, and doubly so if you get wound up about a random website not making you feel better about shouting into the void.
The difference you're talking about is only in the fact that humans don't scale like computer code. If humans were to scale like computer code, you'd still find the "vulnerability" unfixable.
Seems sensationalist
As a reminder, the people worried about AGI are not worried about GPT-4.

They see the writing on the wall for what AI will be capable of in 5-10 years, and are worried about the dangers that will arise from those capabilities, not the current capabilities.
a 4 year old would fail at this task.

does a 4 year old have intelligence?
Vice was a purposefully edgy fashion magazine for a few years before pivoting to their understanding of what journalism should be. I think it stayed as a fashion magazine.
The article doesn't mention AGI once. It's about bad actors abusing these tools.

> “It is hard to see how you can prevent the bad actors from using it for bad things"

> His immediate concern is that the internet will be flooded with false photos, videos and text, and the average person will “not be able to know what is true anymore.”
I think Washington’s banning of nondisclosure and nondisparagement agreements is going to hurt victims more than anyone.

It’s one’s primary bargaining chip when suing a former employer that has wronged an employee. Taking that away means more people will not get compensation when they should.
And yet we continue to accumulate knowledge at a rate greater than when censorship is greater.

The idea that lies fundamentally outstrip truth is like only telling the first half of the story of the rabbit and the tortoise.
The French speaking part of Canada of which I am a part of generally view this legislation positively since it does mean more money for culture in French. Money that currently goes toward English content. Now if we could actually produce quality shows it would be great (right now its like 90% bad soap/romcom/cop shows), otherwise the younger generations (me included) will just continue to watch US English content. If I want to watch good content in French I search for stuff made in France (ARTE on youtube, Backseat on twitch, etc).

I really loved Vice Games, aka Waypoint. The team over there really gave it their all and it showed. Sad to see this happen
"Now, now, the Canadian government has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions..."
> Remember "A Wonderful Life??" George Bailey? That was "Savings and Loans".

Bailey ran a savings and loan. The run in the film was not a reference to the S&L crisis, seeing as the film predates it by decades.

I assume you meant the right thing, but there's enough ambiguity that I could see a reader being confused.
It seems like you can rent as well. I’m from Texas but my car is registered to my apartment’s address which seems like all they require.

Would love to see better privacy legislation that would require an opt out for everyone though.
This annoys you for no purpose?
You can use semantic search, then feed that into the LLM.

There are many solutions already, look into Haystack by deepset, or if you are up for a challenge, you could make something in Langchain.
You sound dismayed by the "features".
It's not a strawman, it's a reductio ad absurdum.
Sorry, as down-thread, I phrased that terribly - not 200m all, just 2277 and ~1b total xp, though I guess I was top 100-200 overall/ehp when I was playing. My distribution of xp is unique enough to identify me, so sorry for not naming the skills.
I would soooo re-binge-watch Breaking Bad dubbed in Innu-Aimun!
Exactly. I’ve known people who honestly thought having a VPN on their phone hid their location as well.
I think it's an important distinction that the requirement is for Canadian content, not "traditional" Canadian content.
It seems like there is a very easy way to remain the right side of $SOME_LAWS, which is to simply not commit crimes in whatever region you travel. If you want to do so, familiarizing yourself with the laws as you cross state lines is the very least you can do.

Demanding reciprocity is like saying ‘I should be able to do $SOMETHING_WHICH_VARIES_IN_ILLEGALITY_BY_REGION.’

Now insert any other topic: abortion, weed use, transgenderism, human rights, etc.

Just because it’s not your pet issue, doesn’t mean it’s not utterly asinine to accidentally end up on the wrong side of the law due to sheer happenstance — all within the same country.

I would rather be deported and barred from entering a certain state in which I carry out something perfectly legal in my home state, but is illegal in the former state — rather than suffering at the hands of a heavy-handed and unempathetic justice system.
So, if I record myself talking transcribe it into a book and publish it, I would be a performer, narrator or even an entertainer -- but not a writer?

Maybe my point was unclear. If I had no arms, but still managed to publish a book, would I not be considered a writer since I do not have arms?
There's nowhere outside of Alaska in the US that sees consistent temps below -22. Any place that gets that cold will only see it for a few nights at most, and could use resistive heating or portable gas to cover those brief windows.
Okay, consider you have 3 apps: gmail, slack and google docs

In gmail, you have a shipping confirmation, a calendar invite, and a team newsletter.

In slack you have a question from a customer, a review request from the team, and a poll for the next offsite.

And in Docs, you have a new project summary, a budget proposal, and a post-mortem doc.

You see, how you actually have 9 different things to do (intentions), but the number of apps you have is just 3? Sometimes, you'll have a thread of things across multiple apps. So despite switching "apps" there's still mental overhead of piecing things together. It's easy to overlook, but sometimes switching apps can causes an effect like walking into a new room, and forgetting why you were there in the first place. Hurting your focus/flow.
>But it can’t make novel discoveries like humans.

in my 42 years on this planet I don't think i've made any novel discoveries.
Ford twice as much I assume you're referencing healthcare specifically. Or healthcare system is horribly broken and in a terrible middle ground of government overreach and corruption while still technically being a private system. That's just about the worst example we could look at at which point twice as much doesn't sound nearly as bad for a worst case.
Flutes on rap music!? Lizzo disapproves.

Spike strips are far more practical and purpose-specific.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_strip>
That's really not capitalism at all.
It pretty much embodies everything I hate in modern OSes. I know what I want to do and I know how I want to do it, get out of my way. Meanwhile modern OSes can't even handle simple "maybe don't steal fucking focus from window I am currently writing something in just because some other app decided to make another windows."
Everyone knows it has limitations. You have to work within the limitations of the model. No one has claimed that GPT is AGI. Doesn't mean it's incapable of any degree of reasoning. Yes the prompt actually matters. It was trained a specific way to solve specific tasks, and can generalize to solve tasks it has not seen before.

Try this prompt: "Taking into account the r-value of adobe, I live in a location with heavy clay soil, and plan to build an adobe home. Will it be well-insulated?"

These edge case "gotchas" are missing the point.
Everything is a lie. From the moment you pick up your phone (literally) everything you do is tracked. Every touch, every gesture, every tap, every app, even the temporal data of what you didn't do. It's all tracked by someone, somewhere, for something. And it's all discoverable under subpoena. The only solution is to return to monke. Live a completely analog or air-gapped lifestyle outside of what is required from you for work.

I'm so sick of it. Fuck everything about participating in the surveillance state.
True, but none of them are going to stumble on the boutique article about it. If that's the audience, this should meet the technically illiterate where they are; twitter, youtube, facebook, etc.
They not to keep too much of a balance on any one card. It's something $50 and a 2+ hour wait one the phone to transfer balances between cards IIRC.
That’s the rub; you can’t get the energy out of where it is. You can’t really use it for your country, you can’t sell it, it’s just kind of there, unused.
I didn’t say anything you’re suggesting.
This implies that the Mayan must have been recording the positions of the planets with great accuracy over a rather long period of time, probably spanning several generations.
neither java code nor binaries are very portable, despite the original marketing. wasm is essentially a binary format. You can certainly make a non-portable wasm just the same way you can make a non-portable elf binary. But you don't have to. You can make a wasm that is even more portable than any elf binary since it's independent of any platform.
java byte code may have been theoretically able to do the same, but the jvm ended up being too varied and there is no universal jvm environment the way there is a universal wasm environment. Browser extensions don't remove or modify the base, only add.

java isn't relevant, not because it couldn't be in theory, but because in reality, it's just not. Browsers never baked it in, it never became an open standard, etc, it's essentially no better than every other interpreted or compiled language. We could have a universal standard that's essentially bash, but we don't. We have bash, but it will never be a universal format the way wasm already is. Being baked into everyone's browser makes all the difference. When you want to publish a picture, tiff is a very versatile container and is better than most other formats, but the format you will actually use will be png or jpg etc, because even though many tiff viewers are available, they aren't built in to all browsers. It doesn't matter that tiff already existed and could do the same job. java is tiff.
They also had "bridge boards" for the later models, which supported up to a 386SX: http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/a2386sx
You are mistaken.

The Lightning Network literally consists of Bitcoin transactions.

There are custodial solutions that serve each layer, but that’s orthogonal to the network itself.
Opponents view this as a general censorship bill. I’m not convinced but definitely feel that this is completely unnecessary.
.... so from MBA that also doesn't know browser tabs exist.

Also OS doesn't fix any of that, especially for the webapps as they tend to not integrate well with anything else
Meta wasn't just pouring money into moonshots. They returned $45 billion to shareholders in 2021 and $28 billion in 2022, via stock buybacks.
Is it just me or do reuters links just go to the homepage? (I'm on iOS with Wipr installed for ad blocking)
How the US and Western nations keep funding this genocide under the guise of "aid" I have no idea.

It's funny that this is needed for streaming, because it seems like every time I look up a filming location, it's Canada. Good ol' "Hollywood North".

Australia to ban non-prescription vapes in biggest smoking reforms in a decade
If you have a good relationship with an HR person, and trust them enough to ask for informal advice, some positive action can follow. If you want to go the formal route, if you use words and phrases that sound like a lawsuit in the making, expect an action to your disadvantage. HR is there to protect the company, not you. An obviously disgruntled employee crying foul is immediately perceived as a threat to the company, regardless of whether they're objectively right or not.
Missing plates get reported, fake/cloned plates don’t end up on a list
Odd, all I can think of in contrast of this supposition is how many women’s accomplishments in history have been subdued or co-opted by men.

There is plenty of evidence of that, but none I can think of to confirm the ham-fisting you’re describing.
This might make practical data recovery from fragmented media easier --- although still quite time-consuming.
That's all non obvious. As far as I can tell this was just as serious as any of the other, 'this is the future', post. See the recent humane keynote for example, and the vergecast's reaction to it.

That said, it's absolutely valid to question stuff like this. A lot of design student type stuff miss HUGE usability issues.
Cancon is content made by Canadians, not propaganda censored by the gov't. Are Canadians simply incapable of making a good show? Shitt's Creek tore through the Emmy's just a few years ago.
Vice had (has?) a very interesting monetisation model, which didn’t rely on typical advertising or subscriptions

they essentially conjured an image of “coolness” to the end of selling sponsorships to megacorps. so they’d go and sneak into North Korea or meet a transgender Ecuadorean meth dealer and it’d be sponsored for a shocking amount of money by—say—Microsoft or Heineken thinking that cool millennials would hop on board

quite innovative for journalism as far as I know, but I suspect the return on investment was pretty poor
Hm idk if that accurately describes what’s happening here, because people are buying that “waste heat”. Agree or disagree about BTC, a market exists.
When they lost their quirky uniqueness, they lost their relevance. What's the difference between Vice today and Salon, Huffpo, etc? They become one of an interchangeable crowd.

I think Vice peaked around the time they put out This Is What Winning Looks Like. I haven't seen any media from Vice as compelling as that since then.
