OK, but what about your desktop computer?

Which a) has a whole host of other concerns associated with it, and b) still does not solve that problem , because it's not at all hard for a child (especially a teenager!) to sneak their parent's ID, use it to authenticate for a

That appears to be your own assumptions coming into play. Everything I've seen says "LLMs cannot think like brains" is not dependent on an argument that "no computer can think like a brain", but rather on an underst

"LLMs cannot think like brains" does not imply "no computer it will ever be possible to construct could think like a brain".

But you are now arguing against a strawman, namely, "it is not possible to construct a computer that thinks". The argument that was actually made was "LLMs do not think".

So then you're just back to the even more basic problem of "is the person using this device the same person that the payload was signed on behalf of?"

Yeah; I've built a map viewer in SVG+JS for my small browser game, and it works quite well for that purpose, but when I tried to repurpose the underlying code for a different game, with a much higher object density, it became quite unm

Honestly, I blame Adobe most for the death of Flash. If they had been willing to invest the resources needed to make it both performant and, most importantly, secure , there's a much better chance that it would have survived—it might

Any on-device solution that simply sends back a yes/no result as you describe is guaranteed to have one of two problems: 1) It is vulnerable to modifications and hacks on the local device that get it to send back a "yes" resu

ICE exists in a very specific context in one country. This discussion is, very specifically, about leaving that country for other countries.

"The market" is not a real entity with desires and opinions. "The wisdom of the market" only works with an ideal free market , or something close to it. Such a thing has a number of requirements, such as low/no bar

But one can come from privilege, and choose to use that privilege to, effectively, infiltrate the ranks of the moneyed elite, seeking to make things better for the average person. Some people have claimed that this is what he is doing. Yo

Sure, "a competitor" with hundreds of billions of dollars and a few decades to burn could, in theory, do that. But what would be the payoff? Getting to compete head-to-head with Amazon? Amazon, that's a well-established inc

Sadly, much as I love AppleScript, I think Apple giving it any love at this point in time is likely to be a pipe dream. Much more likely they're just going to try to beef up Shortcuts support across the board.

From what I can tell, only Apple even wants to try doing any of the processing on-device. Including parsing the speech. (This may be out-of-date at this point, but I haven't heard of Amazon or Google doing on-device processing for

The "current election system", in the US, is not one single system. It is much closer to 50 separate systems with their own differences that range from quirks to wildly different fundamentals. You can't make blanket statement

No; the argument is much closer to "if you don't make cryptocurrency basically the same as fiat, by building the same systems on top of it, it's useless to the vast majority of people ."
