I'm skimming the comments here and barely anyone is mentioning the increased ease of distribution. It has evolved from upload to a single BBS, to upload to Usenet, to place on your own website, to place on a forum, to distribute like mad with retweets.

> The latter almost makes it sound like fake celebrity porn is more of an art form that should be appreciated and guarded from cheap knock offs.

Cheap, high-quality forgeries are still forgeries. Yes, forged currency did become an item more mentioned in the news when inkjet printers came into common use. This doesn't mean the old-school forgeries were "works of art worthy of appreciation and protection", or were ignored by the local news media when pertinent to the location they reported on.
Did they investigate the CIA and the warren commission? They all looked the other way.
The crazy conspiracy theories are there because people believe in crazy conspiracies.
Yeah GPS is a good tool to sychronize over very long distances. Locally locked clocks might still be better for an array not far away from each other if done properly. GPS might be easier to implement for amateurs though.

There’s room for discussion on it and where to go from here, it’s the result that is not surprising.

I would say instead of reacting to the rhetorical remarks, bring up the actual interesting discussion around it in your response.

Spotify has not publicly released any numbers of that kind. It seems the post is quoting some other article [1] that not only doesn't answer my question but even admits that the given numbers are mere speculation. So there is zero basis for the statement in the post above.

Why not tell us the name of the router so we can learn about something different. Would be interesting to see a router with a built-in DNS server. Most home routers I have seen require people to type 192.168.0.1, 10.0.0.1 or whatever to set it up or to change settings. If anyone wants to try to argue otherwise, I could provide links to countless PDFs of manuals online showing this step in the set up instructions.
Literally nobody but you has even suggested this.
Well it was made out of plywood. Unless they made the wood poisonous to all life, it is also food. And humans basically exhale the rest of what fungi need to thrive.

Space is not all that inhospitable to life. There are strong theories that after major cataclysms on earth, rocks in space with life attached then reseeded earth when they came back down.
A popular theory is that they use "QC reject" grade, as the batteries often have arount 800 mAh capacity, two times less than most basic commercial grade.

Did you write this from 2018? There was a huge period of stagnation but AMD started progressing very well and Intel got back on the train too.

"Wow" or not, processors are at least twice as fast per core compared to several years ago, and they have double the cores too. And a 4070 is more than 5x as fast as a 770.

When I see articles talking about electric car improvements that are possible in the next handful of years, 2x is usually at the high end. None of them go near 5x.

> why didn’t they do the jump to Linux

And than you bet on the wrong ditro. I do support work for a commercial Linux Desktop program. We went from SuSE, to CentOS, to Scientific Linux, to Ubuntu. Lets hop Ubuntu stays. :-) Our "luck" is every five years or so we exchange the machines.
No. Developers are free to remain in the old pricing model. No one is forcing them to switch.

The disinformation around this issue is incredible.

We can expect any lawsuits around the enforcement of the DMA to take years though. At least that's how it has happened in practice in the EU when a tech company meets new, unfavorable regulation. If you can't just slap them with a fine, e.g., privacy related stuff, you will have to take the long way through courts.
Then congratulations; you've started to tease out the framework that makes up your own personal faith. Based on what you've said so far you aren't a committed Buddhist (their official answer afaik is "to reduce the suffering of others" and they view "because I like living" as a misguided justification).
This very likely has nothing to do with Binance or even AltLayer. The scam is to fool someone into signing a transaction that sends their tokens to the scammer. They are using the well known name of Binance to make it look legit. Trying to sue Binance for this would be like trying to sue Apple for "You won a free iPad" scams. Also, it has nothing at all to do with the SEC's jurisdiction.
Same experience. No doubt there will be exceptions but prescribing them as standard seems like negligence.

Yes.
There is a "skill" to everything, and my card making skill is probably a 3. It takes me some time to identify nuggets that will be long enough not to be trivial but also short enough to make good cards and salient enough to bother with. ChatGPT on the other hand is probably a 7.5-8 in making cards, and it can crank them out. On top of that it can suggest things that you are probably going to be tested on given the stuff in your notes that you might miss if you just created cards from the contents of your notes. If you have a famous teacher at a public university who teaches every semester for a big core class, it can even go far beyond that in ways that will surprise you.

> Currently IPv6 does not allow you to simply do away with public IPv4 adderesses. On the ISP side that would mean providing a product that couldn't access a huge chunk of the web. On the hosting side that would mean providing a service that isn't available to a huge chunk of users. It's not viable.

The biggest telco (Telstra) in my country (Australia) allocates IPv6 addresses (only) to mobile phones. I'm not sure when the change over happened, because no one noticed / mentioned it. The WiFi hotspot on my WiFi phone hands out both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Each host gets it's own /64 routable IPv6, so there is no NAT on IPv6. By Debian laptop prefers to use IPv6 when it's available, so when hotspotting to my phone I'm entirely IPv6.

I'm not sure when that happened, because I didn't notice. As far as I can tell, no one noticed.

My guess is they'd exploit the situation for their own gain, even if only subconsciously. SBF was the face of Effective Altruism for a time.

Is there any realistic way to keep big, influential corporations from imposing their bad UI choices on the rest of us? Can we at least get the word out to everyone else that this is not a fad worth copying and making into the new standard? (I'm looking at you, toggle switches, skinny scrollbars on desktop UIs, and the white wasteland UI designs that don't put any kind of borders between different sections of the screen.)

I thought this article was going to be about the replacement of checkboxes by toggle switches, and was displeased to see that it was about something even worse.

That is why we are warm blooded, we operate too hot for fungi to thrive.
Maybe acquiring a necessity is less rewarding than acquiring something pursued for fun? The point I was trying to make is that a dollar is not a neutral reward, and may cause a different response, that might otherwise be the same in all groups for something as neutral as "points".

That the response to rewards differs between poor and rich in general does't seem to be testable using a reward that both groups perceive differently.

You should use 'su - root' to get a root login shell. Otherwise you will still keep your old environment, including $HOME and $USER.

(The man page recommends using --login over the single dash, but it also says they are equivalent. Maybe I'm too much of a moron to understand the difference, but the single dash is less typing)

I'm not arguing against disaster preparedness and if manufacturers were allowed to remove am radios from cars and if one was concerned about cell availability, a portable am radio costs 6 bucks and in a disaster has way more utility than one fixed to your car.

As the article points out though a portable am radio may cost 6 bucks, (and we have one with a hand crank though cranking it is a pita) the issue for manufacturers is shielding the internals from being effected by all the em of modern cars.

I'm all for and practice disaster preparedness as we are often with out power. I carry a first aid kit and flashlight in the truck at all times. Should we mandate that all cars require them as well? What about defibulators? They also seem like a good idea to have around. How about Fire extinguishers?
It would if we built software like other durable public infrastructure. Instead we are continually reinventing the wheel.
Well, Twitter fired many of their competent employees, and most of the rest left. The remaining workers are incredibly overworked and understaffed.
I hear you, but at the same time, you're addressing a community where we do a lot of free work. The world wouldn't run without the open source unpaid software that we build. I can't critique you for this choice, as it is quite reasonable. But I can say that such publication can help others (potentially a reward in itself) and can help drive customers to you, who recognize that more nuance is necessary than what can ever be expressed in a blog aimed at non-experts.
I agree with your question, I googled what percent cut Spotify takes, and that was the google provided answer. I think it's right to question my quote. It seemed very much in line with every other market place, so I didn't question it too much.

In an effort to be more accurate, this is the official financial report from Spotify to shareholders:

https://s29.q4cdn.com/175625835/files/doc_financials/2023/q3...

It claims $3,357 million in revenue, and it claims that revenue cost them $2,472 million.

Which implies they are taking at least a 26% cut. I am a financial layman, so perhaps someone with more expertise could correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Yep, treat copilot like a really good autocomplete system and its wonderful. Saves a lot of time and typing even in languages that aren't known for having a lot of boilerplate.

Treat copilot to solve actual problems (y'know, the kind of stuff you are presumably paid to solve), and it falls completely flat.

Even though this post is about cryptocurrency spam, decentralized cryptocurrency networks could have a solution to this spam problem with so called Soulbound Tokens.
I believe 68000 could use an MMU, but the catch was that it couldn't do demand paging, just memory protection and virtual/physical translation. I can't find the specific explanation right now, but it's something along the lines of the bus error exception (needed to actually stop the memory cycle) being special in a way that sometimes causes an incorrect PC value to be pushed to the stack. So you could terminate a process on an MMU exception, but resuming it was not reliable.
I think that the parent comment was referring to the days when ISPs were local or network services were provided by a school or a some other entity which had a vested interest in keeping their network clear of bad actors.
It's not just issues either. Fake repo spam is terrible as well, usually some form of credentials or cryptocurrency theft software. GitHub really needs to implement moderation, and fast.
Had an eBay seller sell me refurbished hard drives as brand new. I purchased new Western Digital Red 5k, they sent refurbished 10k enterprise drives with 5k stickers.

High 99% feedback, large numbers marked as sold.

Ok contacting the seller saying I got refurbished drive with the reported drive stats I got abusive phone calls saying they have my address, they don’t sell fakes, they are going to come to my house and teach me a lesson calling the drive fakes. Turned out the registered address was 2000 km away at some random suburban residential address, the person on the phone had broken English phoning from a Thai phone number so I wasn’t to worried about that and laughed it off and said good luck.

I contacted eBay, left a poor review saying received fake goods, got threats of violence from the seller. eBay refunded my money and a week later my review was removed for the seller to continue scamming customers which must be many by the items sold and number of reviews.

I ignore positive reviews now. They are curated so not worth any substance if bad reviews get removed.
For me it's:

* Lack of consistency. Everything looks and acts different, and some DEs in particular are very religious.

* Lack of reliability. I can't keep count of how many Linux installs I've killed by doing something as mundane as just running updates. Just no, I need this stuff to work every day.

* Religious zealotry. Look, I don't care about the F or O in FOSS to the extent Linux neckbeards demand of me. I use computers to get stuff done, and Windows lets me get stuff done.
I don't think that's what the commenter is claiming. I think they want to be able to sue the companies who indirectly benefit from this kind of spam, which is pretty ridiculous.

However, crypto has become such a menace to society that it's time that governments do something about it, if they even can at this point.
I wonder if this explains the propensity for lawsuits in the US. It's basically our regulation and enforcement mechanism.

The genetics/social aspect is probably less an issue than using real money as a reward.

I'm with on the process where we do experiments, and hope they can help to step forward in a direction or another. But then we're discussing an expirement that doesn't have any real exploitable results yet...which is weird, and probably on us.

I still hope this doesn't get ropped into a meta analysis that takes the results at face value as one data point to correlate to other similarly flawed studies.

This is where I'm stuck, I don't really know where I land on whether its a problem we need solved or just a fact of how some people will use new tech. I wouldn't want someone posting fake nudes (or any photos for that matter) of me online, but I'm not sure if I have a right to stop them.

Most aren't free speech absolutists, though I would hope that most would take issue with the idea of further limiting free speech based on new technologies that we don't have direct control over. Are there certain things I can write in a book but not write online? Or things I can write on my own site but not post to Twitter? I had no say in Twitter's creation, how does it have an impact on my personal freedoms?

Edit: in addition - if I take issue with the current legal limit for free speech, can I simply develop a new form of distribution and claim that we now need to further limit free speech in response? That feels like a dangerous backdoor to attack constitutional rights without going through the courts or congress.
Whenever anyone says "I have literally zero concern about someone doing X about me" they should probably take a moment to check their privilege and consider first why someone else could be concerned about that. Maybe try a search.

As an example, I searched for "effects of fake porn" and got the following article: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/love-and-sex-in-the-...

: Kristen Zaleski, Director of Forensic Mental Health at USC’s Keck Human Rights Clinic, recently told the Washington Post that she’s been working with a schoolteacher who lost her job after parents and administrators learned about deepfake porn using her likeness.

: One recent study reports that 96 percent of deepfake victims are sexualized, and nearly all them are women, though males (especially politicians) and even children have also been abused in this way. The same research finds that many victims are harassed or extorted based on this artificially generated imagery.

Are you male, by chance, and not a celeb or politician? Then you're not the target of fake porn, so are unlikely to have been exposed to the unexpected consequences of such.

Edit to add another article: https://healthnews.com/mental-health/anxiety-depression/the-...

: What’s more chilling is that anyone can use deepfake porn technology to humiliate and degrade a woman sexually without her consent. The problem is becoming so widespread that a woman is not even safe going to the gym anymore without being at risk of having her photo taken without her consent and placed in a deepfake video.

Can you step outside of your own point of view enough to imagine what such a scenario could do to a person who fears being made an object of lust or ridicule? If you can't, then just click the link and read down a little bit, because the article explicitly mentions the possible psychological harms.
