This is an important concept that I’ve never seen described before. It’s not just big tech. The government is also heavily depending on this creeping change in expectations. Setting aside what it has been interpreted to mean legally, “ unre

Blind cynicism? I’ve read people on HN arguing that AIs are currently fully conscious. This is not what I would call “blind cynicism."

Yeah, my location is supposedly 5 degrees warmer, but looking at the data, it’s obviously unchanged except for one outlier winter.

"iPhone can view the tracker’s identifier, have the tracker play a sound to help locate it, and access instructions to disable it." I wonder if that last bit requires physical access to the tracker?

Wait, Google is literally the world's largest unwanted tracker, right? Are they going to alert Android users that they have been tracking them?

It sounds like if it happens again, they can just choose to disable the AirTag completely?

If you climb improperly, yes, it's like doing a bunch of pull-ups. But climbing properly, you try to use your legs to push yourself up, your hands and arms to keep you attached to the wall. This allows you to climb a lot more, because

Yes, I just used ChatGPT to write me some code to iterate through a CSV and add each row to a system via its API. It wrote a python app. It hard coded the API key and the CSV file. And then it told me to pass the file name as an argument. l

I don’t think this is the full paper, though.

I think I've always assumed it meant "unimpressed." That is not the "new" meaning under discussion, but they seem to hint at it when they say, "This new sense appears to stem from a mistaken belief that the fir

Perhaps you didn’t make it to the hundreds of collected survey responses?

Thanks! Combined with the other link to the BMJ article, it's pretty concerning.

Thanks! I haven't heard anything about this before.

At a school I was doing IT support for, I had a Hisense TV suddenly refuse to work at all (couldn’t even select HDMI input) until I connected it to the internet and created an account.

The scenario under discussion is when the car in front doesn’t stop but changes lanes, revealing a stopped car in your lane right where a moving car had been. It’s like the car in front of you was suddenly stopped by magic. The solution is

Isn’t electricity demand always going to be highest on the coldest days?

That's not remotely "by law." If I could start a league tomorrow where shin-guards were optional, would the police come knocking or not? If not, there's no law. There's private rules. The whole question under debate

I volunteer supporting a school that has several POTS landlines still. But the infrastructure seems to be rotting. We're moving off of them as fast as we can, because they go down all the time now. That never used to be a problem back

I finally managed about a month ago to switch off of gmail after meaning to for years. I guess I probably had my account for 20 years!

Get a life. You can’t go through an average day without using a dozen services that you’d have to hire a lawyer to interpret their TOS. If you want to hire a full-time personal counsel, go for it. The rest of us insist on something else. Un
