I think the UK (and EU) have been at this for a while. The UK pushed for the Data Retention Directive in the EU in the mid 2000s that required ISPs to save all the websites you visit. This was eventually ruled to be illegal, but it was stil

Isn't they exactly what a noise gate does? You set a level of loudness below which it mutes all sound. If sounds levels go above that then it plays whatever sounds goes above it.

A noise gate?

Because it's possible to protect yourself against that with anonymity. That goes out the window the moment tokens tied to your real identity get involved. Not to mention that it's likely they wouldn't be able to spy on absolu

And they do this over a network we know governments are constantly spying on?

Zero knowledge proofs won't be zero knowledge in practice when organizations the size of governments are involved. They want a backdoor on your devices too (or already have one).

That's a bizarre coincidence. For the past few days I've run across a bunch of accounts of people taking more creatine than suggested (10-20g a day). They seem to all talk about how it makes them work better during sleep deprivati

I think it's declining across the board. Some societies just haven't caught up to the decline yet. This is why immigration will never solve the problem either.

> It's possibly one of the drivers for world wide declining population. Porn is illegal in South Korea, yet it's the country with the lowest fertility rate. If anything, this suggests a reverse of the correlation.

Now this is a "tech company" problem I wish the EU would tackle. Why do these American companies get to decide what I'm allowed to purchase?

I think Recall could very easily be useful. The problem is that Microsoft has trampled on people's trust so much that they don't trust this new tool and probably never will. Microsoft has poisoned the well.

Why can't governments do it? Have a digital cash. Something that works like cash that the government runs. They already handle physical currency, so why not digital? Add in some really heavy handed rules that government can't use

I bet that in practice, at scale, these zero knowledge proofs end up being a lot more than zero. Not to mention that you're almost certainly going to have to tie this stuff to specific accounts that will then forever and ever keep your

It's an experience thing. It's not about knowing what LLMs/diffusion models specifically do, but rather about knowing the pitfalls that the models you use have. It's a bit like an audio engineer setting up your compresso

At the same time though: if AI based cheating is so effective then is college itself useful?

Teachers typically also have years, sometimes decades, of experience running exams. Yet I've never seen a teacher that is any good at stopping cheating. And that's in person for the class that they are teaching.

But isn't that fraud? Lieferando is fraudulently pretending to be someone they aren't to profit from it.

I had a similar experience. In retrospect I felt like I was wasting my time trying to use it. I somehow ended up with memorization sessions that were too easy and impossibly hard and there seemed to be no way to kind of bridge the gap.

About the phone OS: unfortunately, other companies and governments give this duopoly to Apple and Google. If I need my phone to access my bank and my bank's app only works on official Android or iOS then that's it. I don't

You could also say, though, that this is what caused AT&T to be what it is today - disliked by their customers.

Couldn't you tilt different panels at different angles for a few days to measure their output and then go with the one that performed the best?
