The content is obviously scoped to an origin, or IndexedDB would be a trivial evercookie.

Isn't that how all GPS receivers work? I have yet to see one wired to the satellites ;) But yes, it's amazing how small and battery efficient GPS receivers are at this point!

And this precision data can then in turn be used to map localized terrain movements due to volcanic activity, mining etc. using high precision GPS. I think some of these can detect (in the long term) movements of as little as a few millimet

Personally I’d downvote these if not further substantiated. Flags are reserved for outright rage bait or personal insults for me. At least I hope; can’t say I always perfectly follow “up/downvote doesn’t indicate (dis)agreement but rat

I'm not arguing that it's generally and automatically ok, I'm just saying that it's probably also not right to see it as entirely and inherently immoral, and that some people are probably fine with their contributions to

Maybe we should extend "death of the author" to non-human author entities as well :)

Fair point, but would you say it would meaningfully change things if all LLMs were to ship with a wall of text of all BSD attributions that were found in the training set?

For better or worse, the only admissible evidence going forward will probably be either completely physical or originated in attestation-capable recording devices, i.e. something like a "forensics grade" camera with a signing key

I see properly argued positions, even if very anti-AI, hang around, but cheap tribalist takes usually get downvoted pretty quickly.

The environmental cost of Chernobyl is indeed often overblown. Nature in the exclusion zone is arguably off much better now than before! The cost to humans living in affected areas was massive and high profile, but it’s very questionable if

Passing moral judgement about other people's value preferences seems pretty preposterous to me as well, so I was being a bit glib, but to be clear: I don't want to live in a world in which people get to decide what others can and

To you. Fortunately nobody elected you chief resource allocator of the planet. And I say that as somebody that also finds Ghibli knock-off avatars used by AI bros in incredibly bad taste (or, arguably an even worse crime against taste, a da

Definitely worth considering in a world in which there are any H200s idling in data centers.

This argument is so flawed that its conclusion almost loops back around to being correct again: No, in terms of unit economics, I'm almost certain that the painting supplies have a bigger ecological/resource footprint than an LLM

Works for me, but really weirdly on iOS: Copying to clipboard somehow seems to break transparency; saving to the iOS gallery does not. (And I’ve made sure to not accidentally depend on iOS’s background segmentation.)

It almost nailed it for me (two squares have both white and black color). All pieces and the position look correct.

Interesting, I wonder why larger outputs are more expensive than smaller square ones on v2, while it’s the other way around in v1.

Anecdata, but I did this on my iPhone, and it did absolutely nothing for battery longevity compared to charging to 100% with "optimized charging" (which keeps it at 80% for as long as possible when charging overnight).

You're thinking about "hot swappable" batteries, but the EU is only mandating user-replaceable batteries, which can even require specialized tools. I don't think there's any requirement to make the batteries themsel

To me, slop is anything that makes sense at the surface level but falls apart upon closer examination, since there's "nobody home, semantically". So why would this not be poisoning with (in this case human-generated) slop?

Source trust and gift attribution are two distinct concepts, I'd say. One happens at the detriment to the taker (or "thief", if that even makes sense, as per my original comment); the other harms the original "producer&q
