And in 2016 he was a Clinton supporter and a self described progressive. Vance was also a never trumper by his own admission. It’s quite clear to me that these elites are just grabbing power by any means necessary. It won’t end after Trump.

It’s the key used by the attackers in the payload I think. So you publish it and a scanner will revoke it

There is also the optic that the premiere US EV company failed to deliver an EV pickup truck behind Rivian, Ford, Stellantis, and arguably did a far worse job at it. The F150 lightning was always going to be a tough sell for die hard truck

Let me be one more voice telling you that you are wrong. I just did this morning. In settings, "download originals to this mac", select all photos, file -> "export unmodified originals" will trigger the Photos app to

Then Palantir needs to be sued for fraud. This is absolutely counter to the pitch they were giving their investors, specifically that Palantir was built as a response to 9/11 to bridge the gap between various intelligence agencies and

Bollocks. Politics is endemic to tech. It’s impossible to discuss tech without politics. What some folk want to squash is very particular politics which they don’t want to confront. It violates everything it means to be a hacker in the true

This will be interesting to see how it plays out. When do we cross the line of culpability with tool-assisted content? If I have a typo in my prompt and the result is illegal content, am I responsible for an honest mistake or should the too

We don’t pay for everything in the real world. Music is the first thing that comes to mind. Nobody pays for music anymore. They maybe subscribe to a streaming service but most people expect to consume as much of the actual music basically f

Yeah it’s funny to see the spin on this. When America was “great”, a middle income person could have a very comfortable life and retire on a pension by playing by the rules and spending their days in a corporate bureaucracy. Those days are

And if it does, opinions may change. But right now it doesn’t and that’s what we are talking about. We saw rapid improvements in image and video generation but that’s actually proven to be super threatening to people, if not just embarrassi

Sure, the automobile wiped out the horse and buggy industry. The difference is that the average person’s quality of life vastly improved as a result. Most genAI has been laughably poor at doing what it’s advertised at doing for the average

It’s economic anxiety. The average American wants jobs to come back (look at the election data), and seeing AI shoehorned into every service is not an indicator that industry is going to start hiring lower level positions anytime soon. The

Could be, but I’m sure the past few years have aged her pretty severely. She’s 31 now and the later ones are city miles.

Yeah, cooperative testimony after the fact does not a whistleblower make > She has agreed to a 10-year ban from holding executive roles in public or crypto companies. Yeah, I don’t think this will be hard for her. Anyone involved in FTX

I just watched the video essay. The text of this article is composed of cherry picked statements from the longer form video. This is actually one of the few times I recommend watching the video over reading the article. It’s 30 minutes long

This sounds a lot like the plot to Pacific Heights with Michael Keaton and Matthew Modine. The antagonist looks great on paper and gets keys before actually paying the deposit. Then shielded by that slim residence he proceeds to wreak havoc

Yeah 99/100 times it’s gotta be mundane but wouldn’t it be interesting to spoof that traffic and play anything you wanted in the elevator?

Google ads is dead precisely because their search product is dead. Ever since Google bought double click, their ads business has been their search business. They are the same product.

My path in the emacs/vi divide forked a lifetime ago, and emacs is so fundamentally different that it was never worth sacrificing the massive productivity vim gives me to dip back into emacs But maybe that should change. I like vscode

It’s very subjective, like any jewlery purchase. For instance I never liked the default band, but the Milanese loop is great. My wife never wore her series 5 but I got her a series 11 which is a few grams lighter and thinner and she wears i

Eh, our Roborock vac has been a net positive It was “easy” to vacuum before but we never did a thorough job. All too often we just vacuum what we can see, never under the couches, etc. Now that we have to move everything so it can complete

I hate to say it, but that ship has sailed. Nobody responded when Snowden blew the whistle and here we are today Poison their data. If they have evidence against you, and you can prove their data is even partially bad, you have your reasona

Poisoning data used by data brokers has been a tactic for at least a decade If anyone using palantir wants to draw incorrect conclusions based on unverified data, the impact to them is certainly going to worse than it is to any of us normal

When genAI started making waves my first thought literally was how awesome it would be to flesh out NPC dialog. It’s immersion breaking to try and talk to a random character only to hit a loop of one or two sentences. How awesome would it b

I’m old enough to remember when blogs were bad news for the culture at the time, which was forums, IRC and static sites (you know, with under construction banners) It seems the prevailing pattern is that removing barriers to entry means thi
