They would need to solve that anyway in case 2 or more friends attempt to get in on the same ticket. Not at all difficult - simply share screen a third device and display the rotating QR-code through e.g. zoom on individual phones. For addi

That suggests a test suite to test the test suite, which again would suggest another test suite to test the test suite testing test suite... In the end, it is test suites all the way down.

Out of all journalistic outlets, WaPo, being owned by Bezos, has the least incentive to roast OpenAI in this case. Wouldn't it be nice if Bezos/Amazon could make Alexa sound like a voice actress that sounds a lot like ScarJo witho

Great idea, in the same vein as the "Ad Nauseam" browser extension, which was the result of an art project by https://rednoise.org/~dhowe/ .

The keyword here is "use". Homomorphic Encryption reduces the breadth of computations that can be ran on the gathered data, by making it inaccessible outside of the specific homomorphic scheme that was chosen. So yes, in that sens

And while searching to confirm the meaning of the word `semblance`, I found that the Cambridge Dictionary needs to up their game at only 775 partners. https://imgur.com/a/arX6Z6S

Obviously they do care, in the sense that they want to dissolve any remaining semblance of it.

Potentially the path is a Jinja2 template and the product of 41839*41587 evals to a value that makes the whole path a special case? That seems dangerous to allow, AI WAF or not, so I am also not quite sure what the attack here would be.

Doing something in an unskillful way, but by accident as well as purposefully (so - messing around). In this case I was hinting towards the latter meaning.

For us Dutch people it is obvious why they would add an in-joke like an airplane at an airport near a town called "Kloten". Feels obligatory and rather mild really.

My main gripe - how on vanilla MacOS alt(cmd)-tabbing cycles through applications first and then _all their windows_ rather than windows first, doing _nothing_ on a per application basis. I cannot imagine how this matches at all to anyone&

The Dutch translation of GEB is excellent. I think others, e.g. the French, are also quite good/excellent, potentially because Hofstadter himself was quite involved in the translation process. Hell, much of GEB and especially his later

Wait till you start using the black formatter tool. Well-known for supporting any formatting style you like ;)

This use of opt-out is really an extreme edge case to be honest. There is such a heavy emphasis on civic duty, part of which is to vote in all kinds of elections, that even though the system might strictly be an opt-in voting system, everyb

This DNA relatives feature begs the question. How easy is it to submit random DNA (cow, cat, dog, chicken, etc. or even fake?) and get yourself enrolled in their system to then legitimately have access to the next 1500+ "relatives?&quo

The 23andme page on "DNA relatives" says this though: > If you choose to participate in the DNA Relatives feature, you have multiple privacy options to suit your individual preferences. For complete privacy, you can opt out of

The attitude that oozes out of these reactions is not that they are sorry that the data was leaked, but that they are sorry they can no longer profit from it. 23AndMe's product is their user's DNA, packaged nicely in easy to diges

Why should they care to make a competing browser at all? The answer is simple. The google anti-trust case clearly indicates this is _highly_ profitable. As the browser (chrome) is one of the leading ways of increasing Search Query Volume (S

I guess the Uber case is similar in ways but also quite different. Uber was (relatively) vocal about their hope for regulation to catch up with this new world of taxi gigs ordered through an app. And in the MS browser-choice case, the regul

Yes, so I've never seen anything but the EU-sanctioned installation flows and the regression is in these flows.

It's interesting, that second option seems too malicious, how would you even coordinate a common understanding of this? Perhaps it's just enough in the grey-zone that it is a "cross that bridge when we come to it" issue

Microsoft uses all dirty tricks in the book to keep their users on the default browser (which is of course MS Edge). Legal..? I'm sure their lawyers think it is? I posted about this before, but MS got fined before by the EU for this ki

Funny, as a corollary to how impractical a game engine would be in CSS: my first pass over the text had me reading CSS as something like C Sharp Sharp. A non-existent language that, according to my brain, still seems like a more likely lang

Point is, I doubt this system will ever be faster (for me) than typing on the qwerty keyboard where all keys are available at a single touch. I would also be interested if this method would improve my ability to type blind, but I think it s

I tried this out for the past hour or so. It takes the 9 most common letters in English and makes them easily accessible through one touch down, whereas all the other letters require a touch+swipe. Multi-lingual support is problematic, the

That doesnt make much sense to me. Google's interests are not microsoft's or DDG's interests and to hold up Google as some sort of ground truth in what the optimal search results for a given query are is, as proven by Kagi, h
