Exactly, and that's the problem. The reasoning for creating the music is the problem, not that an artist wanted to use AI to generate something or experiment. It's not even muzak at this point, at least that honest about what it i

I don't know about other countries, but here it requires your passport or actual drivers license, and a 12 or 24 hour wait, to actually activate the drivers license app.

You make it sound like having a phone in public is basically "open carry" which is absolute nonsense. What do you have on your phone that's dangerous? Phones aren't safety device, and they shouldn't be turned into o

If it's just a PIN, and the PIN is his aunts birthday, it might not be much of a challenge. We also have to consider the cases where the adult is complicit, in these cases the app is even less secure than photo ID (for store purchases,

Not sure if you're joking or not, but Denmark have had people show an edited screenshot of the drivers license app, to get into clubs or buy alcohol. I think they "fixed" it. I think it has some effect now that only works if

That's not reality for many of us. I don't consider my phone a secure device by any means. It has nothing on it that I'd regard as something I'd need to guard against my family. I know a fair number of especially elderly

That's not what you're competing with. Your competing with a drivers license with a photo (not a great photo) and some countries have pretty easily faked drivers licenses, but others have drivers licenses in hard plastic with holo

Yeah, I didn't think anyone would place any actual value on the stars. It almost doesn't need to be a feature, because what is it suppose to do exactly?

It's a nice chunk of change, which you could use for other purposes. It might not make or break the company, but it could pay for something that actually generates business.

Hopefully there will be some post-mortem. It seems like we're don't really see that many deliberate DDoS attack anymore. Not that it doesn't happen, but they really don't provide that much value against a target like Blu

The cancellations are because of rising prices, that doesn't mean they can get fuel, just that the current price makes the destination unprofitable. (Technically this should free up some fuel). But I was thinking from a political persp

Assuming that this is in any shape or form correct, why hasn't rationing started? Six weeks at normal flight capacity is an insane amount of fuel, rationing it out for transport of critical goods and travel, will stretch it for years.

True, but you can't affort the none crappy one eventually. Basically everything in modern society trends towards either cheap, but shitty, or excellent, but insanely expensive. Our problem is that the used to be a huge middle segment,

Also don't do it in San Francisco, I think it's an artificial easier market. The type of store wouldn't work in Bumsville Idaho. Maybe that's for later, if this works out, but I'd love to see the AI attempt to run a

You can leave the "almost" out. That was an absolutely deranged comment that completely ignores reality.

qmail was a lot of fun, so was djbdns and daemontools, but you're right it failed to keep up and DJBs attitude didn't help. We built a weird solution where two systems would sync data via email. Upstream would do a dump from an Or

For a lot of project that would be sufficient. I've worked on projects that "required" an S3 storage solution. Not because it actually did, but because it needed some sort of object/file storage which could be accesses f

The language plays a role, but I think the best example of software with very few bugs is something like qmail and that's written in C. qmail did have bugs, but impressively few. Write code that carefully however is really not somethin

What I'd be concerned with is that if you have never sent anything to these users, they might have forgotten where and when they gave you their email address and simply mark your message as spam. We've trained users to not use &qu

To me the question is more about why you'd do something. I'm sure that there's a lot of AI generated music I might enjoy, but I'm turned off by why it exists. AI generated music isn't out there as some experiment by

At least with your suggestions there's some chance that their newsletter won't instantly get flagged as spam. I'd do what you suggest, but send the newsletter from an separate domain once subscriptions have been confirmed.

That's not really relevant here. The complaint is that you start getting promotional emails right away, meaning that adding you to a mailing list is instant, but removing you somehow takes ten days. Normally you can't unsubscribe

It's hard not to imaging that OpenAI is attempting to build an developer tools eco-system. It makes sense as it's one of the few fields in AI that are currently able to generate sales.

Assuming that we'll come to our senses, I think well be looking back at social media, in it's current form, the same way we now look at the Victorians using opium as cough medicine. It works, but holy shit are you doing it wrong.

Search engines appear to care more about being good "Netizens". It's not like GoogleBot never crashed a site, but it's rare. Search engine bots check if they need to back off for a bit, they check etags, notices if page
