We live in a world where people are having relationships with, taking drug advice from, and even getting married to AI chat bots Asking one to tell you a story is table stakes. One of my first experiments with ChatGPT was prompting it to te

100 miles to be clear. So many major cities are free reign. Entire counties. https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/border-zone

You are right. What most people don’t understand however is that “the border” extends for 100 miles https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/border-zone This effectively means border patrol can do whatever they want in ar

I’m not GP but this hits for me so I’ll reply in good faith I don’t actually care about the menu or sign. It’s a coffee drink and I’ve had thousands if not hundreds of thousands of them. I know what I like and if it’s just stencil letters p

Cops are not known for being well regulated individuals The obvious flaw is that someone added this field as a requirement but they never actually audit it and hold officers accountable I think you can trace both of these problems back to t

The response is where creativity lives. Everything falls apart if you don’t have the juice to capitalize on the insights you got from the data. Trump’s team knew exactly where to focus their efforts for 2016. That was half of it The other h

Again, I believe every private citizen should keep their own footage for exactly this reason. Other people’s footage will only be used against you. It is a real big shame that Meta is the only one pushing personal video capture right now. I

I don’t understand this criticism. I have owned an EV for five years now. The app and the vehicle display clearly let you know when you are due for scheduled maintenance. Due to how online the whole platform is, it’s so much better than my

I’m anti surveillance but I don’t get this take. Every uber driver I’ve been ive been in has an inside dashcam to protect themselves and their property. I would do the same thing if I were them. Waymo has every right to monitor their proper

I have a few yubikeys and it’s a manual process to sync a new key last time I tried I keep all my TOTP keys on an encrypted usb drive in a safe. When I lose a key, I manually add all the TOTP accounts onto the new key from my safe Passkeys

Twitter was best when I followed comedians, record labels and venues. (And I should note I left in 2017 when even the funny people couldn’t get a grip on what was happening online) This is what short form posting was meant for. Jokes and qu

I have no doubts this device will be in demand and sell a ton of units But what are we even doing? $2000 for a device to watch videos on, to replace the $1200 device you watched videos on last year. I guess I’m lamenting the fact that none

France has a storied history of resisting efforts to impose non-western, extremist beliefs on them You could start with Charlie Hebdo for an idea of how it might be received if a religious extremist group wanted to fuss over hiding French w

I can see why they would say that. I can’t see any reason why the tower management would sideline half of their staff without someone asking them to.

This should be an accessibility complaint under the ADA. That should be a big money settlement. There are numerous disabilities that would cause someone to not have a smartphone capable of running an app. Hell, even addiction to social medi

Yeah they need to stay in the car. It’s a hard habit to break because we have lived our entire lives bringing the groceries in and unloading. We actually just get paper bags and reuse them for our recycling items. The paper bag goes into th

Right, if we have a limited resource of something valuable, should we just use it up once and throw out the product entirely? If plastic is so efficient, why wouldn’t we make reusable bags out of it instead of cotton? Why is the argument to

I don’t know you, but most people I work with for some reason keep so many tabs open, the tab bar is squeezed so you can barely see a favicon Probably due to my age, I religiously close every tab after I read it. If that gets more than a do

If there’s an ad free YouTube app on the App Store, that’s your bet. It’s still a walled garden. Personally I don’t watch enough YouTube to bother with that. I pretty much just close the app if they force me to watch more than 5s of an ad.

There is a vast divide between knowledge workers and creatives when it comes to LLMs The general populace sees mostly the creative’s view. The results are poor and it comes at the expense of ripping off IP and providing bad copies of it. Th

It makes sense. It goes father than that. LLMs generate probability-based tokens. What is the most likely next word? Humor goes against what we expect. A punchline works because you don’t see it coming. It’s not funny if you’ve heard that o

You’ve moved the goalposts. You can always say “oh well these judges don’t have the experience to catch this type of AI. The fact that you have to insert this qualifier, to ensure you always have a way to discredit the test, pretty much s

I’m not sure it’s a regression really If you look at a graph of the world population it’s seems clear to me that freely available common resources are just going to continue to get overused and ruined as we continue to add people to the equ
