My home country, the UK, has already been through this cultural erosion which is why I respect Japan's right to defend its own. London in particular has become a place for everybody and at the same time for nobody. It's a city of

I was not aware of this. Wow. I hope they're taking a hard look at past cases where they've done this.

I live in Tokyo at the moment. I get the overtourism thing, because after you've been here even just a little while (months) you start to have a disdain for tourists that do tourist things. Like breaking the rules, being a nuisance, sw

The failing is as much with the court as it is with Fujitsu. Why did they blindly accept Horizon’s data as evidence? What if the computer said the Queen stole all the money and ran off to Barbados, would they have thrown her in jail? Why wa

>if software developers screw up Well, yes, they did screw up, but the fallout was amplified 100x by bad management.

Even if the flimsy benchmark numbers are higher doesn't necessarily mean it's at the frontier, it might be that they're just willing to burn more cash to be at the top of the leaderboard. It also benefits from being the most

It’s been said here before, but xAI isn’t really in the running to be on the leading edge of LLMs. It’s serving a niche of users who don’t want to use “woke” models and/or who are Musk sycophants.

The focus will be on these teenagers but the real story is one of security negligence by these companies.

I wonder what people like her who were around Musk in the early days think of him now. It’s striking how much he’s changed. When I see videos of him speaking 20, even 10 years ago, he seems much more grounded, inspired, maybe even intellect

The data shows the majority of people now meet on dating apps. So yes, dating apps are in control.

What do you mean by the permanent damage part? I actually go out a lot, and moved across the world to Tokyo four months ago. The problem is not meeting people. I can make surface level connections every day of the week. The problem is findi

>That’s not what was meant and you know it. I believe the zoomer interpretation of "icks" refers to childish/petty reasons to give up on perusing someone, not something like lack of cleanliness.

Are you asking me specifically or in general? I'm in my 20s and the way a significant portion of relationships start in this generation is via dating apps. If you aren't using dating apps, and don't have social circles, there

It’s genius really. They’ve inserted themselves into the social fabric, hijacked it, and then used cartel tactics to take control of competition. And nobody cares enough to start an antitrust suit.

Or just stop playing the game. Like a parasite, dating apps only survive while their host is alive. You can pay for pictures, spend hours a day scrolling, pretend to be someone you’re not, blunt every aspect of your personality that may be

I still see little conversation about the two fundamental limitations of LLMs right now: context size, and prompt injection. * Computation does not scale linearly with context size, meaning the ‘memory’ of LLMs is limited and gets more expe

There are companies (Chainalysis) that track blockchains and ‘grade’ wallets according to who they’ve transacted with. If enough of a wallet’s funds are from a mixer it may be scored a grade lower than the exchange’s KYC rules allow to do b

Not quite that simple, that’s vulnerable to an Eve-Alice-Eve attack. If $1B in BTC moves around in short succession the TXs can be linked easily. You need a mixer that splits up the amount to be paid out, and even then it needs to be done p

I really wonder if Satoshi’s fortune is gone forever. Maybe the CIA found his real identity and uncovered his keys. Dumping that much BTC on the market would crash the market and probably even tank other financial markets.

I'll stay on a MacBook thanks. I owned a Dell XPS that officially ships with Ubuntu, it was a dreadful experience. I had countless software issues. Hibernation, throttling, video acceleration, touchpad, all buggy. Not to mention the bu

The rounding on the corners bothers me more than anything else. It just doesn't look good on a mobile screen. There's already minimal space to play with, why make the target zone for a button even smaller? It adds to visual noise

The technique seems valid, but I'm not really a fan of the rehashed "wait to cool down and reconsider" advice, to me it just seems like a form of emotional suppression. Of course you're going to feel differently in six h

Can someone explain the payment headers part? Why not just have a header called X-Crawl-Key or something and intercept that header to figure out who to charge for the request?

It would be nice if R2 supported Requester Pays like S3. In the past there's various data/files I've wanted to make public but not at my own expense.

Definitely interested in an open source alternative to Tailscale. The README is way too verbose though. It should explain the project at a glance and have links to docs for the details.

The obvious question that never gets answered is how does it defend from prompt injection? If customers can use prompt injection to make Claudius do something it shouldn't, it's not usable in the real world. What good is an agent
