Lack of do-not-track header is not a consent to track of course. It's just signaling non-consent.

I don't understand why this was downvoted. It's informative and factual.

The law is not about cookies specifically, it's technology neutral. The law doesn't even include the word cookie anywhere. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A...

The ePrivacy directive did/does not require the nag for "necessary cookies", i.e. most of the cookies that are serving the user's interests.

GDPR itself is quite a good law. It's implementation and enforcement are not. E.g. the nag problem would have been solved simply and effectively with something like do-not-track header (probably as OS setting, as apps are often even wo

I read "consciousness" in there meaning attribution of consciousness, not as an ontological claim about what is conscious. The article seems to use this switching of the definition as a bit of a rhetorical device, which does muddy

Murdoch et al aren't that bad either.

by jampekka 1mo ago
The article doesn't claim anything about what is and what is not conscious. It's about what we may think is conscious, and why.

Why is it insane? We have no idea how or where consciousness arises, or even if it's a coherent concept.

10% may be a magnitude too high at least if we expect the explanation to be correct. For example in a sample of statisticians/epidemiologists only 12.5% got two basic features of p-values correct [1]. And there are a lot of studies s

"Thinking" is just normal model output that's hidden from user. In practice it's just stuff in a <reasoning> tag or similar that gets filtered out from the user view. And thus it suffers from the same injection pro

A perhaps interesting (and sometimes even useful) property of the 1D Kalman filter is that it becomes an EMA when it's in the "steady state" (the gain to which it converges asymptotically, in practice often quite fast). Speci

There's also the open source Sweet Home 3D that has tools for making a model from floor plans and includes a lot of furniture. There's even a WebGL version nowadays. Not sure if it has VR support, but it can export the scene to .o

Many Chinese frontier models aren't censored, at least for Tiananmen etc. They'll discuss them freely if served through non-Chinese providers. The Chinese providers seem to have some kind of quite crude external censorship latet.

This seems to be some self-help for the well-off (and their kids) to not feel bad about such dependence, but totally ignores the large population whose parents aren't affluent enough to support their children. Or may even need support

More or less the definition of a state is that it upholds the monopoly of violence within its borders. In modern liberal states that monopoly comes with extensive regulations on how, when and by whom violence should be used. This is called

The government is an institution protecting us from commercial interests. The government also protects against e.g. abject poverty and dying of easily treatable medical conditions. And also upholds e.g. property rights, which you probably h

This is not about government reading messages, it's about how large social media companies present content. The European part probably is that these two things are not seen as the same thing. Corporations and individuals don't enj

Many, including me, don't see e.g. personal privacy and freedom as the same case as regulating commercial activities. In fact, large business interests are well capable of authoritarian power themselves.
