In a two party system, it’s always the lesser of two evils. Traditionally, both candidates needed to have a healthy amount of centrism to make sure they weren’t more evil/extreme than the other. However these days it feels like populis

Not sure how profitable they are today but I think it’s obvious that the long term play is to eliminate the contract workers entirely

I’d be interested to see how that changes if you launch a net Any drone I would be able to pick off with a firearm would have to be low and slow enough for me to capture it with less violent means. Then I’m not shooting anything. I’m seizin

Probably why the wording is “not welcome” as opposed to “not permitted/allowed”

Right, this is business as usual on the internet. And I guarantee we all have seen ads generated by an LLM already. The front page of Reddit is filled with LLM posts whose comments are similarly rich with bots. One common one is an image po

That’s a headline for you. Editors aren’t going to juice their click thru rates by talking about mundane essay format exams. That said, the essay format was much worse than any multiple choice standardized test.

This has always been possible with screenshots. SGNL is just an enterprise solution. At the end of they day you need to trust who you are talking to and never over share.

One has to wonder what type of legal requirement this satisfies. It certainly wouldn’t hold up to the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard for US criminal prosecution. I’ve been exposed to “lit holds” for various document management system

Until these vendors break into EDU it’s an uphill battle. In WA, every school has Microsoft smart boards and laptops running windows. Kids grow up using it and when they buy their own computers they aren’t going to choose a small boutique b

You will need to cite your sources that Apple is going the same way. From what I see, Apple has launched private cloud compute with better privacy safeguards than any other big tech firm. In fact, their personal assistant is the worst one b

It’s not always that simple. Creativity is not a tap that you turn on and off. Sometimes it is hard to be creative, even if you enjoy it. Even if you are good at it. When a student feels pressure to perform, and they have an LLM to fall bac

Can you imagine co-opting a trusted and secure (and free) bit of software and just making it worse at seemingly every turn? And charging for it?! I’m not sure what is more embarrassing: to be the company or to be a user.

Facebook had no problems instantly taking down my links to articles that were critical of Facebook And they also maintain what is likely to be one of the largest scale facial recognition systems on the planet. But they are totally unable to

When I did a Vision Pro demo they had lenses on hand to accommodate my astigmatism. It was pretty nice…and about 10x the cost of this

As I understand it, very few cable channels started out ad-free, and that didn’t last long. By the time it was available in my area, cable TV was a service to provide better reception and more channels that OTA, but everything aside from su

The bandcamp model works for music because music that is worth paying for can be produced on a laptop in a bedroom I just don’t see a whole lot of TV/movie content worth paying for that isn’t produced by a studio that will lock up the

The nice thing about being old is that I lived in a world before the internet. We did fine. I feel bad for people who grew up “digitally native” and seem shocked at the concept and can’t even comprehend living without being online 24x7

The one bright spot I see is that the internet as a source of information is soon over. In the 90s, the internet promised a utopia connecting people across the globe instantly where censorship was damage to be routed around, and information

You can’t really sniff out disgruntled employees until they act on it.

That was my first thought also. I suppose if the presenter wants no screenshots they’d also want cameras on and you’d have to be pretty sly about using your phone. Either way, dumb. The analog hole can’t be closed.

It’s worse than that; they will be punished for slowing down to do the right thing. The system encourages bad behavior. Amazon has been my last resort for items going back a few years now. I am fine paying a bit more, waiting a few more day

AFAIK a visa can be revoked for any reason. I’m also willing to wager that any costs would not be refunded because let’s be serious this is Trump we are talking about

This is the first time I’ve heard of this incident and I’m not ashamed to admit that with everything we now know about Musk, it seems totally plausible that he would have internally squashed any other theories. He has convinced his sharehol

This TM SGNL app is compatible with legit Signal clients and servers. It’s also possible that they are using this app to archive chats that other parties _believe_ to be disappeared. In other words, set your chats to disappear in 5 minutes

Pretty much every chord he played was a power chord. Thats just a root and a 5th. It’s neither major or minor, because you need the 3rd to establish that And nearly every punk and metal band uses predominantly power chords, without any real

I’ve also seen some claim that they will do that and simply sub-contract the work out to cheaper labor If the employer is satisfied with the employees output, who is being harmed?

The reason it is political for voting is that the rules needed to get a qualified ID are often impossible (or hard enough to suppress voting) for many legit voters. These rules have become weaponized in a culture war, such as the requiremen

Hate to say it but jobs are commodities for the employee too. Why would it be any different the other way around? So many roles are basically interchangeable and I’ll choose whichever one looks best on my resume or gives me some other tangi
