I don't think the premise that digital forgeries are hard is invalidated by the possibility that there might be a good number of undetected forgeries out there. Things can be hard to do, but still done in decent quantities.

You do make a good general point, though! Good forgeries are by their nature not known to be forgeries.
Oh, sure, but deploying high-speed DOCSIS only really makes sense relative to fibre in _relatively_ dense areas; it’s not a particularly sensible solution for rural ones.

This comment makes it sound like the formation of Israel in the chosen territory was more or less random. Uganda was not chosen for a reason, don’t you think? Are you trying to say that the millenial history of the Jews has nothing to do with the chosen territory?

ISPs aren't statutorily required to meet the FCC's speed bare minimum. It is just that doing so lets them be counted as broadband and might qualify them for some incentives to deploy broadband to underserved areas.

Also I believe that an ISP is counted as broadband by the FCC if they have some plans available that meet the FCC's minimums. They do not have to meet them with all plans.

You claim that I am "dreaming up", yet you refuse to say what exactly do you suppose indigenous sovereignty could look like.

Everything you just said is not sovereignty, it is already the status quo in 2024, yet there are zero First Nations in BC who are happy with the level of "sovereignty" they are currently getting, they all still want more, despite getting more land, more meaningful consultations, and more rights today than even a few years ago.

This reclassifies Starlink as not broadband, at least for the basic plan.
Past a certain data size, migrations are always a nightmare. For a much longer time than what you initially estimated, you are managing two systems with all the related operational costs and complexity, as well as all of the IOPs and bandwidth migrating the data.

I imagine scaling out RDS instead mitigated a lot of those costs.
This is good news. I hope this serves as inspiration for future cases against app developers, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and all who are not upfront about their data and privacy practices.
Meanwhile I am still waiting for Siri to reach the capability of an average voice assistant from ~2014.

>mutli-purpose robots currently always are less robust than humans at the same set of tasks

Specialization has tradeoffs. Humans are very optimized generalists but very few of us become specialist at more than one thing. Even in that case a specialized machine/robot can be far faster, depending on the task of course.

Of course humans have a lot of trade offs for their abilities as generalists... taking years to mature, requiring sleep, poor integration with computer systems are just some of them.

This is a very common approach and scales quite well. I worked for a company that had thousands of customers and each had their own schema. A single master database that kept track of which customer is on what physical db cluster, and this was globally replicated (EU,ANZ, NA).

Certainly needs a bunch of tooling, but worked well. Some apps were stateless and could connect to any physical cluster. Some others were sticky and only connected to a subset.

Similar architecture in my current company as well and we serve nearly a thousand customer instances served across 4 physical clusters.

We do have some basic tools to provision new customers on the emptiest cluster, move customers from one cluster to another etc

> even the "consenting" ones often have histories of sexual abuse and unresolved trauma that are tainting their "consent." A hypothetical society where every daughter grows up in a two-parent household, is known and loved by her father, and is never raped, is going to have a major shortage of porn stars.

Your heart's in the right place but your logic here is flawed. By framing it this way you muddy the entire concept of consent by declaring an entire class mentally unsound on account of unsubstantiated past events. Exceptions for intoxication are arbitrary enough. Now past "trauma" invalidates consent?

Don't get complacent. It's easier than you think to recruit the next generation of porn stars from stable families; it's been happening in front of us all along. Just expose kids to sexual topics early and often, nudge them in the direction of alternative religions with euphemistic masturbation rituals, promote the idea that promiscuity and "sex work" is normal and empowering, get them used to posing for cameras for validation, offer them more attention than their parents, get them to reblog excerpts of erotic literature with strangers, persuade them to run away, and coerce them into prostitution/child porn. It's the "fuck you mom and dad please help me" pipeline. The sexual abuse starts under your own roof and the rape only begins at the end. It's the parents who assume their family is immune that end up blindsided. Everything throughout is engineered coercion.

Once grooming became a taboo topic, we stopped talking about it long enough to forget what it even looked like. Anyone interested can trawl /r/runaway or Roblox/Discord looking for fresh faces to add to the NCMEC posters. The FBI has been warning about this for years...but fuck those morons, we're "protecting kids" by banning Backpage, TikTok and PornHub. Porn stars don't all start as junkies from broken homes but they often end that way.

If you and your community care as much as you claim, please advocate for effective mandatory parental controls, especially within multiplayer game environments that allow communication. The action against PornHub is an empty stunt that will likely not stand and achieves nothing.
Indeed. It reminds me of that species of planthopper whose rear legs have interlocking "gears", allowing the insect to jump with both legs together in perfect synchrony:

I still think you're missing the point. The idea is that you should use vision APIs and LLMs to build traditional browser automation using a DSL or Python.

I don't want to use vision and LLMs for every page. I just want to use vision and LLMs to figure out what elements need to be clicked once. Or maybe every time the site changes the frontend.
I would argue that Google didn't want to build this product at all and that it was a market reaction to ChatGPT's success (which suffers from the exact same problem I described above). The folks at DeepMind seemed quite keen on keeping this stuff in their research labs.

Whether or not you want to call an LLM an "AI" or not is really immaterial though, and more often than not just a distraction. Users have found conversational answer engine products like ChatGPT and Gemini valuable. They don't have to be perfect to provide value, but their imperfections are ripe for tarnishing the brands of long well established companies. But LLMs also have uses outside of a conversational answer engine; I for one am excited to watch them deployed in games, and also writing unit tests for code.
Sounds like the only objection you have here is calling it “marriage”. But why is that the line you choose to draw?
The idea of usage caps was intensely controversial on sites like this a number of years back because it was mostly related to downloading "Linux distributions" from torrent sites. Today, with the download activity mostly driven by Netflix and other video streaming services, it's mostly untenable (within reason). In a market where so many households have an expectation of essentially unmetered video streaming I'm not sure there's much of a demand for 10-year-old bandwdith caps for $10-$20 less per month (which were probably more at the time even with the caps anyway). I don't get cable TV or landline and I pay less than I did 10 years ago.

ADDED: In a context, people develop expectations about what should be metered and what should be unmetered at least up to a point. You want a metered service where most people, at least in the US, have developed an expectation of an unmetered one. And I doubt you're asking for what actually passed for unmetered telecoms 20-30 years ago.

Well, I removed the telematics module from my car. But it already stopped working because it was 3G only. The car was built in 2014, shipped with a 2G modem that was replaced at Ford's expense when 2G went offline shortly after the car was sold.

My other car with telematics was built in 2016 with a 3G modem that also no longer works.
Good point. I've also heard that there are fairly high rate of failures with high end nvidia stuff. I wonder why that is.
I oppose this. 100mbps just isn't what most people need. To most readers, this probably sounds innocuous, but I have some involvement in my city's digital equity community, so I have some insight into what this translates to for local governments and community organizations. Now what will happen is someone at the county level in charge of digital infrastructure will look at at a map and say "oh no, 40% of our population doesn't have broadband, and 20% don't even have access to broadband". This news will find its way to local politicians and organizations and eventually, a lot of money will get thrown at this problem. Naturally, Comcast and ATT have entire departments skilled at filling out RFPs, so they will get tons of money to expand their coverage to "communities that wouldn't be profitable to service without government grants". Meanwhile, the net result will be that we'll spend a lot of money on this, and the result will be that some households can now watch Netflix in UHD on three televisions at a time instead of two.

Meanwhile, the vast majority of people have $30 wifi routers that are incorrectly configured and positioned behind a concrete wall in the garage. So 100mbps comes into their house, but their laptops, TVs and phones see 20mbps.

There's also a huge amount of government money going into rural connectivity. It seems to me that StarLink is an ideal solution to this. Rather than running lots of cable to houses that are miles apart, give people subsidies to get StarLink. But if you make legislation that StarLink isn't "broadband", then the money needs to go to the incumbents, who will want billions of dollars in subsidies to lay expensive cables to service a small number of people. If I had to guess, some of those large players might have lobbied for this change, because they want some of that $18 billion pie that the FCC authorized for rural broadband expansion [1].

Anecdotally, Comcast has a 50mbps plan in my neighborhood for $20/month. If I needed more than that, I would gladly pay for it... affordability isn't the issue, I just get very little benefit from a connection faster than that, and the faster plans still have the same 10mbps upload speeds [2]. What I would 100% definitely pay for is more reliable internet that (almost) never goes down, but there's only two options in my neighborhood and I'm not sure the alternative is better. And I'm a software engineer... I'm on my computer all day, often downloading large files, on lots of zoom calls, while my kids are watching Netflix. I doubt most people's needs are substantially higher than mine.

[2] they actually gave me a free bump to 150mbps a few days ago, probably in response to this new ruling. I haven't really noticed any difference.

Why Not Space? (2011)
This is how I've begun to feel about almost every consumer product out there these days. This "enshittification" of the bulk of the output of our economy puts so much burden on any discerning consumer to do all the research needed just to get some basic dignified standard of quality from whatever they are forking over hard-earned money for. It will soon make more sense to put all that time and money into producing these things yourself via some micro cottage industry. (Personally I already do this for a growing number of things.)

It's really depressing that we have gotten to this point, seemingly the logical conclusion of the so-called efficient capitalist market.

Kayodé is the approximate spelling from the syllables. I was playing around with sounds for a constructed language and ended up with combination I liked.
One of my friends was fearing of being forced to leave his partner behind in Japan and having to go back to his home country when he had trouble securing a new job, even if his partner’s salary could more than cover for his expenses. To get permanent residence he needs to live 10 years in Japan while working and paying taxes.

For some people the difference in rights might feel small but there are certain edge cases when it makes a big difference. If my friend's partner was not the same sex as his, then he would be eligible to a spouse visa regardless of job status and could get permanent residence in as low as 3 years.

Agree, it's not just direct cost of the material.

I work in a small software shop (~10 people), and besides me there's only one other guy that could take up the task of running wires all over the office, the others are developers, not sysadmins. We don't have >3k$ "business" desks, we have Ikea desks. Our office is essentially an apartment converted to office. It does have ethernet wall sockets in each room, but it's only 2 per room.

We've been talking about wiring the office properly for years, but:

- we'd have to run wires on the ground from the wall sockets and protect them properly, otherwise creating potential safety hazards (people tripping, water, ...)

- we'd have to add a switch per room, to place somewhere, but the only available places are the cable-holding Ikea desks (not exactly reliable)

- we'd have to run and hold cable on each desk, for.... people that mostly use Macbooks, most of which only have USB-C ports; we'd have to buy expensive docks just to fix the ethernet cable in place, when all our screens have power-delivery over USB-C already and everyone has wireless keyboard/mouse

To us the investment is simply not worth the effort, not just in money, but also in time spent implementing it and maintaining it. It's simply not a priority, we have applications to deliver.

I did work in banks and big corps, and there I always had wired desktops with wifi being reserved for guests (with certs generated by the host ofc). I can totally see small/medium-sized companies growing organically over the years and not getting this addressed as a top priority, as you said wifi is fast enough nowadays.

You can say that a real policy to shift the economy to 4-day workweeks would be an answer to automation. But you can't reasonably say this policy is, because it doesn't do anything meaningful. It will give, for a period of some months, a ~10% pay raise to a fraction of US workers.
Interesting. Thanks for explaining.
> Outside of religion, marriage has no real meaning, and to the extent that it is promoted by government, it is a fragment of how everyone had a religion up until the 20th century.

I think this is making too much of a distinction between religion and government.

For most of human history, most humans were not privy to clearly-defined centralized institutions (like our modern state bureaucracies). Religious traditions were decentralized emergent phenomena that codified ways of perpetuating a functioning society in a low-trust, low-organization environments.

As far as marriage specifically goes, it evolved as a practice in order to make the process of material inheritance simple, nonviolent, and easy for anyone to execute. This is where the notion of "legitimate" children comes from: legitimate in the sense of being eligible for inheritance, specifically because your parents were married. When strong centralized states started emerging, they codified this practice and built new structures on top of it.
