That does not seem to be the case here.

When it comes to money, sure, take caution.

Here is a hint:

"For instance, the leaks organisation says Marble has test examples in multiple languages: it is possible for a person creating malware to set their spoken language as being Chinese, Russian, Korean, Arabic and Farsi. Thus, CIA created malware could potentially be developed to appear as if it was emanating from another country. The CIA has not commented on the disclosures."

Europe’s digital ‘enforcer’ takes EU tech rulebook to Silicon Valley
It's a separate video on his channel which is probably a better listen than this one. This one is a bit of conjecture, perhaps true. The other has been validated by multiple sources, AFAICT.

Short summary - Someone had tied in most of their home automation to Alexa and found their account cancelled suddenly one day. They went through the automated recovery systems and were told to contact support, which they did. Support ended up transferring them to an Amazon exec (let's assume "manager") who told them their account was disabled because an Amazon delivery driver reported that someone said something racist to them over their video doorbell (which wasn't a Ring, ironically).

Upon investigating, checking cameras, logs, etc,, the owner determined that (a) no one was home at the time of the delivery, (b) the driver was wearing headphones, (c) the doorbell had done an automated, "Hello, how can I help you?" response to the driver as they were walking away (presumably ring-and-dash or drop-and-dash delivery, as usual).

The driver had apparently, with the headphones on, completely misunderstood.

It took over a week to get Amazon to review all the evidence and reactivate the account. No apology at that point (although I believe I saw they subsequently have).

That's a bad look for Amazon, and the Youtuber makes a valid point that it's a bad idea to trust control of your home to a company that will make such boneheaded decisions.

IMHO, the only correct response for Amazon here is firing at least two people involved in the debacle, apologizing publicly, and promising to review and adapt their policies in response to the incident. Any halfway decent PR department at anything other than a mega-monopoly would be scurrying to do exactly that, but not Amazon apparently.
With a background in linguistics and a descent understanding of Unicode, I thought I had something of a grip on the complexities of text. But then I read Text rendering hates you[0] and realized I had no idea how hard rendering text really is. The most striking example for me is the Arabic example where allh (Allah) is styled with different colours on each of the four characters, because this particular character sequence is a mandatory ligature if memory serves, and how do you figure out the colour changes when you're layout out a single glyph from the font?

The callbacks (as in a chain of callbacks) are not natural to a beginner, like a student trying to program a robot. For a GUI, where you set up a callback in response to user input, it is also easy to understand because the program's control flow does not progress as a chain of callbacks.

The input-update-output loop is fine, but you cannot easily combine and nest such loops. For example, in a robot you may have a speed control inner loop, then a path following loop and on top of that a high-level behavior loop. Nesting one inside the others you end up with a hand-baked implementation of a coroutine.
Why not title it "An example of why Western journalism isn't journalism at all"?

Or perhaps "'Journalism' as driven by intelligence community press releases"?

Or even "More civilians die in CIA commanded drone attacks, but we'll never tell you. Ever wonder why?"

These are the same mindless parrots who label anything outside the narrative a conspiracy theory. Accuse them (i.e., self proclaimed journalists) of bias, blindspots, and/or being lazy? Again, conspiracy theory. According to them they're doing an outstand job as The Fourth Estate.

I can't decide if they actually don't realize what pathetic tools they are, or if they run stories like this to rub it all in our faces.

I don’t doubt they exist, but the only two examples I ever hear are the GoT one you mentioned and High/Low Gothic in WH40k. But I see that factoid about High/Low German repeated multiple times a year. It was a common entry on ‘fantasy cliche’ lists even in the dial-up era of the Internet.
GitHub owns the Copilot model; it is based on OpenAI's Codex but they own and operate it themselves. So technically feeding it into their AI would be OK by those terms. That's why Copilot still exists even after Codex was killed off by OpenAI.

Indeed.

Plus, I subscribe to about 30 subreddits, most of which pretty niche. Could I replace them with forums? Sure, and I do have fond memories from phpbb forums around the turn of the millenium, even moderating a few as a teen.

But then I'd have to check about 5-10 different forum sites daily, each with subforums for different specific topics. It adds friction.

It's much more convenient just opening reddit whenever I have a few minutes to scroll my feed and see what's up in my niche communities.

Reddit also gives the power to users to create niche communities. R/xbiking comes to mind, which is about a very specific bicycling subculture consisting of using vintage mountain bike frames from the 80s and 90s with a mix of modern and vintage parts to create cool all around bikes... Sort of. Anyways, to my knowledge this subculture did not exist anywhere before Reddit, and I can hardly see how it could have sprung up on bikeforums.net, for example. Petitioning the forums admins for a new subforum for a community that hardly existed would have been difficult, and the sort of posts R/xbiking sees would probably have been closed as offtopic in other subforums. Much easier to create and organically grow a new community on Reddit.

Personally, after being a bit reticent, I am now hopeful for fediverse based solutions (kbin and Lemmy notably) to replace this.

I believe that people who eat microwave popcorn have higher PFAS levels as the study suggests.

I'm a bit skeptical about microwave popcorn increases PFAS as the study doesn't really answer this question. People eating microwave popcorn might be different from those who don't eat it and the real source could be something else.

But I'm only a bit skeptical as it sounds plausible that the manufacturers probably use PFAS-contaminated surfaces in the production.

I bought a copy of Hamlet with copious footnotes a year ago, and I really enjoyed reading it - but I found the language too taxing for leisure reading. I'd return to my work and find my mental energy had been drained!

I can certainly see the value of reading Shakespeare, but I'd almost need a long vacation to devote to picking up the language.

It makes me wonder how much of my school years I wasted, because I probably could have mastered Shakespeare at the time and still have that tool in my toolbelt today.

It of. Usage wise it's a fair compassion. Both apps would get the same usage levels and type.

Both sites serve - image, video, and text(comments or posts).

Imgur would almost certainly be cheaper to run due to the simpler nature of the site. Imgur would just need checking the overall site for content.

Reddit would be checking each of the subreddits for content and aggerating it. Which would be more complex and more expensive to run.

Realistically, it's the best comparision there is.

The policy says human eyes will never see the contents of your private repositories. Suppose, as you say, the repos are one day fed into an AI. How does that policy then constrain the AI later?

AIUI the AI can't be used to answer any questions based knowledge from training that included private repositories, since (still AIUI) there's no guarantee that contents from the training won't appear in the output.

But there seems to be a loophole for yes/no questions. An AI that answers only yes/no could be trained on private repositories, or run on them. So they could, say, train an AI to recognise repos that require working hours from their legal staff, or from their support staff, and then run that AI on all repos to locate repos that cause expense in the future. Things like that seem possible.

And an AI might answer questions like this: "Does any repo contain the string 845fjkef5urwejf in a Kotlin file?"

These days, I’ve been separating the poop from the food before I eat it.
As an individual you can “adapt” by abstaining. You can eat %100 healthily, no junk food, exercise everyday, get enough sunlight, not use screens at a close distance to avoid myopia, not use social media, avoid microplastics and forever-chemicals (tip: you can’t), escape climate change caused unnatural disasters, and buy air quality control products to try to get to a fraction of the air quality of a rural village in 1500s. Yet here we are, talking about obese nations. Technology is never neutral when combined with human nature (when used by humans). It’s always unnatural, because our bodies and minds are not designed (or evolved if you believe in that) for this modern world. And this incompatibility almost always leads to unhealthiness, both mental and physical.

I've been away from this area for a few years now...but I'd say "No, Google is not doing 20x better". However - Google is in a "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" position, and trusted far more than it deserves. And whether you're dealing with small business owners, or C-suites full of suits - there are a whole lot of "we gotta do X!" (even if the ROI looks for-sure negative) human emotions around Marketing. And when you're emotional, and feel that you gotta do something...then "buy IBM" usually feels like the least-bad option.

I completely agree but it seems to me the Enlightenment was just a brief window in time, a temporary state and we are simply returning to the equilibrium of a top down, clergy like class that tells the masses what to believe. That is what the masses want and it is especially true that in a democracy the masses get what they want.

I think that is why the word dare is included in that quote. It is not the normal state of things so to use your own reason is a daring act.

I recommend jalapeno popcorn. If you enjoy a spicy snack its great. Only difference is when you're heating up the oil, add some pickled jalapenos and cook them until they're crunchy--the oil will absorb the spiciness.

Also, try using coconut oil instead of canola oil to cook the popcorn--its pricier, but its a great taste. I think it removes the need to add butter afterwards.
The matrix movie has people "jacked" into a kind of computer world through their brainstem but realistically the system would also have to have connections to the eyes which have the highest bandwidth of the system. Replacing reality with computers this way does not preclude it from being an interesting film but the love scenes would be different. Wouldn't the people in zion have to mount web cams or something on those sockets? People would fight over having the best kind of 300 year old web cams. Oh sure perhaps VR goggles would work well enough that you don't need your eye's gouged out. But in 10 years how will your eye's know what to focus on? Would your 20/20 vision last this way from cradle to grave?

Of all senses to rely on sight can be the most misleading though. Seeing is believing but seeing is deceiving. Think back to a time when you were totally sold on something by a commercial on TV or on youtube. It was so cool, it did exactly what I want it to do. This retail therapy is what I need, man! Then after you get it, its just a stupid gimmick or it helps nothing. The eye's brought you there. Cooking tools or ingredients are a good example. You can't taste test the television ads. Seeing fancy cars and mansions looks like a pretty good motivation for investing in a hit meme like crypto. But sometimes now and then that doesn't work out.

Eyes are good to have. I sometimes use them when driving my car. They are useful for tracking street names for my cerebral navigation system [CNS].

I think I like my ears better though. They are more reliable for me. And the nose is great. I don't think I'll need a corrective nose for a long time. I've worn corrective lenses for over 3 decades.

eh, not quite. The laws which protect secret information apply to everyone (it does require that you have reason to believe the information is secret, but it does not require that you have clearance). There are however quite powerful defenses considering the 1st amendment, especially for journalists (in other countries this often much less strong, though usually there's something analogous. For example the somewhat famous idea of signing the official secrets act in the UK doesn't mean anything except that the penalties for breaking it get more severe: you can still expect to be prosecuted under it if you are handed information marked as secret and then pass it on, unless you can succesfully argue that it is somehow in the public interest for it to be published).
