There's also no way to approve of a politician's position on A, while disapproving of their position on B. Also known as "holding your nose" while voting. By your measure, nothing short of a direct referendum on a line-b

The hercules card had a "80 × 25 text mode with 9 × 14 pixel font (effective resolution of 720 × 350, MDA-compatible)" (wikipedia), but the graphics mode was 720 x 348. It always blew my mind that you'd buy a new videocard, a

You can't see from the site who the owner is. Could be a library. Could be a music club. Could be the Gates foundation. An art collective. Running the website (in this case, an url elongator) is not required to be an objective in the a

What's "more private" is that Google won't need to respond to apporax. a million daily requests for information from law enforcement(?) anymore. Cf. whatsapp - they've been encrypting messages for years, but only re

Well, if the user entered a French flag, and then you show it back to them as a white flag, you may cause a bit of an international incident. Or worse, accusations of telling very old jokes.

Oracle is the bane of my existence, and I haven't worked with it for 10+ years. Still scarred.

A phone company I was a customer of used my phone number as the customer Id. Which doesn't work great for people, or companies, with more than one phone number. They could also only provision one SIM per phone number, and not use a pho

That wikipedia article literally says there is "no fixed or formal definition for what NGOs are". The .ong domain has a policy that has criteria. https://thenew.org/org-people/about-pir/policies/ngo-

I'm partial to https://tinyapps.org/ as an example of a nice curated collection of apps. I also have fond memories of the tucows repository of PocketPC applications.

The VA has not been identified, but I bet that she has a showreel in which you can hear at least ten different natural voices that are not at all like SJ's performance in 'her'. A sad read for the local undertaker. A maniacal

Bots will generate content on Reddit using LLMs for years to come. It will be an uncanny valley full of apparent UGC and interactions. People who still use search will be pointed there and say, see, you don't need to use these new-fang

Well, every mutual TLS handshake authenticates again. And then establishes a session key. But if you fire up a new session (new tab?), boom, new mutual authentication. It's just that the private key is stored in a keystore, and not on

Reading the headline, I though, sounds like an opinion piece rather than, you know, a systematic review.. But, the article cites studies! Cool! A survey. A survey combined with analysis of actual tasks (but, 'recorded' using a &#x

Meh. GDPR sets limits on 'processing' personally identifiable information. In the context of an LLM, its outputs may contain PII if its inputs do. Those inputs are training input and prompts. So long(!) as the training input doesn

Aside from very specific cases, like if you work for NASA, copyright springs into existence automatically, so even assigning it to the public domain requires some action to divest yourself of the copyright. And even then, 'moral rights

I see a lot of bill boards showing "No Input" and "HDMI 1" on a pastel blue starry skyfield. It's what pops up when you google image search for "no signal samsung".

It's not that Boeing doesn't have any safety policies or procedures, it's just that no-one is aware of them, so nothing gets reported or fixed? Those findings are worse than you'd expect.. Wonder what it's like over

Perhaps even longer. Arial dates back to 1982 and was meant as a metric-compatible lookalike for Helvetica which dates back to 1957, and is based on 1898's Akzidenz-Grotesk ; but of course at that time, filenames didn't yet have e
