Even if Chrome did that, it wouldn't stop Edge from importing Chrome data and uploading it to Microsoft without asking permission.

Yes but how is that the fault of removal services? They can't do anything to stop the usual suspects from filing for a fresh corporation from Delaware each week.

OK so if Optery reports 330 removals, how many removals did they actually have to do on their end? A hundred? Thirty? Ten? Why should we care? If you pay a man to remove the snow from your driveway, would you be upset if he used a plow rath

Not possible. Open source code doesn't have limited power of attorney. Data brokers would also read its code and thwart whatever logic it uses to fill out forms.

What else could they do? They're working within a system that the government designed, and the government always designs things to keep people running on the hamster wheel.

That Wikipedia section makes it sound like his whole life story is just an elaborate work of fiction. I don't think that counts as fraud. It's more like santa claus and the deception fits in with his story. Is he doing any actual

Yes I agree there's a lot of interesting problems to solve and things to learn when it comes to modeling intelligence. Vernor Vinge was smart in choosing the wording that we'd have the means to create superhuman intelligence by

I don't use the A word, because it's one of those words that popular culture has poisoned with fear, anger, and magical thinking. I can at least respect Kurzweil though and he says the human brain has 10 petaflops. Blackwell has 2

I see. Do you think this is what Kurzweil was accounting for when he multiplied by 1000 connections?

Imagine that there's a little computer inside each neuron that decides when it needs to do work. Those computers are an implementation detail of the flops being provided by neurons, and would not increase the overall flop count, since

They're not guesses. We know they use A100s and we know how fast an A100 goes. You can cut a brain open and see how many neurons it has and how often they fire. Kurzweil's 10 petaflops for the brain (100e9 neurons * 1000 connectio

That essay is written by a political scientist. His arguments aren't very persuasive. Even if they were, he doesn't actually cite the person he's writing about, so I have no way to check the primary materials. It's not l

Bro, Jensen Huang just unveiled a chip yesterday that goes 20 petaflops. Intel's latest raptorlake cpu goes 800 gigaflops. Can you really explain 25000x progress by the 2x larger die size? I'm sure reactionary America wanted Moore

GPT4 does inference at 560 teraflops. Human brain goes 10,000 teraflops. NVIDIA just unveiled their latest Blackwell chip yesterday which goes 20,000 teraflops. If you buy an NVL72 rack of the things, it goes 1,400,000 teraflops. That'

It was doomed from the start, because monetizable computing platforms that target consumers can't succeed if they don't have high barriers to entry. Low quality Atari games were responsible for the 1983 video game crash. Anyone co

It's not a technical tradeoff, it's a refusal to compromise. Lack of frame pointers prevents many groups from using software built by distros altogether. If a distro decides that they'd rather make things go 1% faster for gra

I don't need to. Fedora and Ubuntu have already changed their policies to restore frame pointers. As far as I can tell, your proposal is no longer on the table. If you aren't willing to accept the decision, then you should at leas

I think so and I vaguely seem to recall -fno-schedule-insns2 being the only thing that fixes it. To get the full power of frame pointers and hackable binary, what I use is: -fno-schedule-insns2 -fno-omit-frame-pointers -fno-op

I propose that a frame pointer daemon be introduced too, for managing the frame pointer signals. We shall modify _start() to open up an io_uring connection to SystemD so that a program may share its .eh_frame data. That way the kernel can s
