I think an LLM would give a "conversational" experience to search. That's handy for situations where you might not really understand what you need to search for. Any search system that can ask you clarifying questions is goi

You can't remember it because it's so common it doesn't raise any media interest: ICE vehicles: ~174,000–200,000 fires/year (1,500–1,530 per 100,000 sold). EVs: ~25 fires per 100,000 sold (hundreds per year total).

No one throws Duracell during riots for a reason. Where as a small bottle, half filled with petrol, and a lit rag makes a pretty good anti-tank weapon. A car with a tank full of gas is basically a big bomb. I'd rather sleep over the e

Yeah and Peter Hummelgaard is about to touch you on the penis. > "We must break with the totally erroneous perception that it is everyone's civil liberty to communicate on encrypted messaging services," What an arsehole.

It's not EU cookie banners that have ruined the internet, it's malicious compliance and dark pattens on behalf of those that want to track you.

Timeless iconic Italian design. I'm surprised that the article didn't mention the role Vespa (and Lambretta) played in the British Mod scene. You can see it's influence in the RAF roundel stickers on bikes in the article. For

Filing or cutting debris from a lathe or mill. Something important to remember if you come across it, never pick it up with a bare hand because it can be razor sharp and never wear gloves when using a machine tool like a lathe unless you wa

When I was at uni in the 90s I remember hearing one of our lecturers tell stories about visitors to British Aerospace being caught wearing shoes with sticky soles to try and capture small amounts of swarf for industrial espionage. So yes, t

The IOPC is still investigating the police officers involved. They won't release their findings until September, so it's too early to say that there's no accountability.

Criminals will just side-step the law and use methods of communication that allow them carry on committing crimes. If it was possible to outlaw crime we would have no crime already. We had riots in 70s, 80s and 90s too after all. Meanwhile

I wonder if this will get worse with so many firms now using agents. You’re sharing your entire code base with a 3rd party you have to trust not to train on it. If they do your competitor’s just to ask it to produce something using your bus

I think you have an excellent point and I'll bet someone at Apple has all this in spreadsheet and is making that case. However, I think without the very high end machines Apple is also seeding a lot of professional middle market too. I

That's an interesting point but I'd ask who would Anthropic be defrauding? The Chinese resellers that are happily operating outside of the terms of service? Or the reseller's customers, that are knowingly buying a potentially

I’m surprised that instead of cutting them off Anthropic doesn’t just switch them to a lower quality, cheaper to models. That would seem more effective than simply shutting down the accounts. Keep them paying for junk.

For all those saying “if you’re not breaking the rules you have nothing to fear” consider that most firms regard “working to rule” to be a form of protest. If you just follow their rules this surveillance will be used to identify and sanc

They’re different because of the job they do, who’s doing the monitoring and who has access to the records. In all the examples you’ve given the monitoring is used to reduce the power imbalance between the public and vested interests with t

“First world”? First world is a political term meaning non-aligned with the West or Communist states during the Cold War. Historically, Sweden was a non-aligned country. The very definition of a “third-world” country.

What’s idiotic is making all UK adults present ID to foreign controlled websites without any public debate around it.

Digital ID by the backdoor is here. Couldn't get it through the first or second times, just dress it up in "think of the children" rhetoric and run it from the Ofcom quango.
