> How do you know? Please don't sealion. There's no evidence for it occurring in the first place. It's entirely an internet meme based on extremist headlines. What happened is they set up servers inside government offices

Personally I think AI should be treated like photoshop. If someone is creating life-like imagery of child sexual abuse that you can't determine if its real or not, then that would be the criminal action of the person producing it. Soft

A naive implementation would just upload everything in the current directory.

You can't "generate" CSAM. CSAM definitionally had to be about abuse of real children. It's still bad and should be illegal but lumping them together is bad.

There is no such thing as a certification that data was deleted. If someone presented such a thing I would assume they're trying to cover something up.

by mlindner 3mo ago
That was a mistake and they deleted all the data.

That isn't at all true. Independent testing has shown its rather politically balanced.

Because xAI does? I wasn't making a hypothetical.

Forcing all costs on to new entrants in a market is generally a bad thing for the market and causes it to not expand fast enough. Also they may just choose to not participate in the market at all. I.e they'll bring in a whole lot of na

There was also a separate issue. Apple until recently had always used this type of plastic that easily degrades and certain peoples skin oil (mine included) causes the plastic to just dissolve. Turns yellow then brittle and then just comes

I agree. Lightning is such a better connector and one of the main reasons I still haven't replaced my phone. If lightning could've just been updated for higher bitrates it would have been so much better.

I personally hate USB-C as it's a poorly designed connector. It's flimsy and can easily broken yet at the same time difficult to insert. I've had a couple be broken by getting "squashed" because there's no mech

They do supply public IPv4 but only to the more expensive plans. https://starlink.com/support/article/1192f3ef-2a17-31d9-261a...

Kessler syndrome relies on two key provisions: 1. Orbiting objects never try to avoid each other. 2. They're in high enough orbits that atmospheric drag is not a significant factor such that debris can last decades or centuries. Starli

Do you think Starlink is somehow extraterritorial or something? They're no more or no less a "private internet" than any other ISP. People need to get a reality check. Hacker news is becoming one of the most luddite places on

That's simply impossible. You must be seeing something else. They aren't that bright.

The post he was replying to is the reductionist and dismissive take. And yes progress is good progress.

If you're seeing "strings" those are recently launched satellites. Operational satellites are below visual magnitude.

Starlink by itself does not have a net loss.

by mlindner 3mo ago
FWIW it may be tenable now as Starlink has gotten much better at tree/obstruction avoidance in the signal and will preemptively switch the satellite it's using when an obstruction is approaching. Id check again.

Companies are only going to do Level 5 self-driving unless they can own the vehicles. You will never get a company to accept responsibility for crashes with hardware owned external to the company. I mean there's all sorts of things you

Part of the problem with Apple Vision Pro was the sales strategy. They labeled it "Pro" but if you went into an Apple store they only let you play some simple games and watch some movies with it. The main feature I was interested

SpaceX/xAI is investing in creating their own fab. If they can, Apple certainly can.

What is of value to watch on any of the streaming platforms? Netflix content is atrophying. Disney Plus is dying. To say nothing of Hulu or others. I watch youtube. The content is way more varied and interesting and less sanitized.

FWIW, I would not trust LG here to actually do nothing even after turning all the elements off, their GUI is especially "web"-like. Just leave it disconnected. I don't understand why people can't just get a secondary dev

Weird. I've shifted more and more of my social media use to X. Especially the last few weeks have been great with Artemis and an algorithmic accident that X's auto translation feature has been enabling tons of positive cross cultu

This has more to do with the UK government than a "for-profit company". Apple has been one of the biggest forces pushing back against this kind of thing forever, at least in the US where companies still have rights.

Google practically never shows explicit images to anyone anymore anyway. Even bing doesn't anymore. I feel like we've returned to a more prude society, at least on the mainstream internet.
