Alternative question: why aren't these apps asking for API keys from their users, and operate off of that? Seems like that'd shift the burden from them to the individual user, who would then pay whatever rates Reddit wants to char

I only dabble in reverse engineering web apis these days, but wouldn't it be exceedingly possible to write an unofficial API and run an app off of that? It's not pleasant work, but especially with LLM advances, I feel like keeping

And you know he's reading these. Steve, come on. Maybe Apollo shuts down, maybe you figure something out, but this whole thing becomes a lot easier to judge as an outsider if one group starts throwing mud like this. You should know b

The least relevant or interesting part of this question is what tech to focus on, as you can learn anything enough to be helpful in a few weeks. The second least relevant part of this question is how geopolitics and current "layoffs&qu

Right? The fact that YT hasn't started doing that leads me to believe it's harder than we think.

The silver lining of the current state of embedding the ads into the video itself at least is the creator makes the deal directly with the advertiser, rather than through YouTube. But you're suggesting that YouTube alter the video to i

Might as well have called the article "AI Considered Harmful", heh...

by Zetice 3y ago
As others have said, this article is written as if GitHub's Copilot + VSCode integration doesn't exist, and I think the author should get that going before concluding, "AI Does Not Help Programmers." It saves me a decent

When a payout like this occurs, does it mean the problem is resolved? In other words, are these companies no longer putting out toxic chemicals, or are they buying the ability to continue to do that without fear of further lawsuits?

by Zetice 3y ago
The fact something is or isn't AI doesn't require independent moderation procedures. Either the content has an answer to the question or it doesn't.

Yes, and in order to operate as a b2b SaaS, the "bare minimum" is relatively high, meaning when acquired the value of integration may not be very much. The owners may have also just demanded to remain independent as part of the ac

...no it's not? The acquired company may have (probably was) already compliant, or it ended up being better to allow them to continue to operate independently. The only surprising thing here is that you think all Google acquisitions ar

You miss the point here entirely; the real life experiences of the vast majority of the population of Western society precludes the need for absolute privacy. What you would need are not anecdotes about how individuals who legitimately requ

I don’t think you understand how damaging it is to your argument that you need to refer to events that took place before the invention of the microchip in order to make this point.

What you’re describing isn’t eugenics, and what you’re fear mongering for isn’t realistic or relevant to 99% of people. You really want to make privacy everyone’s problem, but it simply isn’t.

by Zetice 3y ago
And I'm kinda tired of blanket chicken littling over privacy from folks who refuse to accept the general situation of the vast majority of people. Eugenics is not a thing modern humans in Western society need to realistically worry abo

Except that's not happening. Could my DNA be used to scan for racial anomalies in newborns? Yes. Is that actually happening? Hell no. Doomsday screeching is not a productive activity, and privacy is not the issue here. It's ho

I really don't think privacy is something everyone should value equally. "Unmaskings" don't generally happen to most folks, and these "dangerous outcomes" are exceedingly rare. If your threat model includes

They're impotent little weasels who couldn't hit a target the size of a barn, so the risk is minimal.

"Extraordinary" is absolutely a scientific "category", used to describe ideas that not only lack explanation given current understanding, but also substantially upend that current understanding. These "objects"

by Zetice 3y ago
The level headed approach is to handle an extraordinary claim with skepticism until an extraordinary level of evidence is presented. Why are these videos always so grainy, out of focus, and otherwise unclear? Perhaps when clear and unambig

"So many"? I just quoted the part of the article that says it's 1-5 people per month with "possibly really anomalous" reports. And no, it's neither clearly "real" nor "air-borne". What get

Half the world isn't reporting UFO sightings, only 2%-5% of 50-100 (which is 1-5) monthly are considered "possibly really anomalous" (per the article). Now if you think 1-5 monthly is "too many" to be considered &qu

Why can't it be that all self reported close encounters are "crazy"?

That's reported, not verified. It would say "tentacled oblong rectangle" if that's what got submitted.

Yup, I've found the worst offenders are typically a small subset of sites, and you can ban sites from your For You, which cleans it up pretty quickly. I've got articles about the debt limit, AI, immigration, the new Titleist irons
