Facial modeling has been good enough for porn. I'd be surprised if the law requires much beyond a vague best effort from service providers, but many already block connections from known server hosts and some even VPNs. An airtight bloc

Why doesn't it make children safer? I'm trying to discuss this in good faith but that wasn't even an argument. A bland accusation wearing a tin foil hat.

Social media got worse. We've had time to witness the damage of a dopamine-doomscroll. I personally know children who've posted too much, and children who've been solicited directly by adults, both to try and meet and for nud

They could, yes. You can buy 5GB of service for £2.50 at many convenience stores. Paid cash. This is such a weird angle. Like saying shops shouldn't age check for alcohol because the parents would know. They are also friends with other

Tell me you don't have teenagers without telling me you don't have teenagers. I'd love kids to do what they're told. That would absolutely solve this but as we all know, they don't. But how are your rights limited?

The people do want this crap. If you have kids of a certain age, you know kids that have had near misses with grooming on Roblox, or have seen the comments from men on child Tiktok accounts. It's a stupid amount of exposure that we j

The lack of consequence and massive personal gains suggest the White House are hitting nat 20s. The taxpayer and future generations are footing the bill. Trump and friends are rich forever .

> criticize only the Israeli ... detached from its ... religion to avoid "antisemitism" Because Israel, despite its claims, does not talk for every Jew, and tarring every Jew with the sins of the state is antisemitic. No weas

Oh, get in the bin. Conflating Israeli-sanctioned malevolence with "Jewish people" is incredibly unhelpful to the discussion.

It was not sold on one thing. Immigration was definitely a factor, but there were a lot of people —despite strong expert opposition— saying it would be an economic golden age. Being able to trade with everyone on our own terms. Being free o

It was bad if you had a Nokia smartphone, or a Blackberry. Lots of people felt they weren't ready to give up their keyboards. It's hard to make objective judgment when you're in one tribe's trench.

The post clearly says the intention is to get a formal spec for formal integration. To leave their experimental phase they have to define some goals to meet and that requires making some architectural choices that still aren't decided.

It's not just about fun. We are beaten into believing we need an education, a career, a home, stability before we have children. We're having kids in our 40s when our parents started in their 20s. We're naturally less able to

Is it really so bizarre that people might be against a technical revolution that threatens their livelihoods? "AI" even in its current regurgative state can do so much stuff that people are paid to do. Or that we're all talk

Because if it were civil and paid for for centrally, it'd be Big C Communism marching in. Let the army do it and it's eagle-riding patriotism. But also if you do declare some sort of emergency that allows this, otherwise frustrati

Iran just killed thousands of protesters. As far as the US has fallen, they're not quite there yet.

That's what we need. More children in prison. Now two lives are ruined. Just for the sake of retribution. Redeemable children can make horrific mistakes. The job of parents, and pastoral adults is to maintain an environment where kids

I have a lifetime Plex Pass, but I'd gleefully dump it for open source if the experience were as good. But as you say, it's not, and the lack of churn (only patch releases and one blog post this last 6 months) doesn't inspire

Each of those drones is $30m (plus munitions). Together with the other losses and damages to aircraft, it moving towards $7b. Feels like a considerable loss.

It's a special American madness that prevents law enforcement for installing their own mass surveillance systems, with all the oversight that it'd come with, and instead buy all the data they need from shady techbros siloing all t

It seems fairly clear if you consider a 50-100 year roof (ours is 150 years, and it's only had membrane changes in that time) against a 25 year roof. I'm sure the steel shingle will last a fair time but if the PV elements need rep

I think we're possibly saying the same thing in different ways but the only way you take the money going to insurance companies and debt collectors is by providing a service that doesn't rely on them. Getting there is the hurdle.

The waste is a byproduct of a many-layered insurance system forced between patient and provider. Everyone in the chain wants their pound of flesh. That problem will exist until the government provides a managed alternative and takes corpora

Yup, and their Transparency International score has been getting worse since, with only a small improvement this year.

But the normalisation of copying and pasting internal data into external tools is a recipe for complete disaster. I'd be surprised if there weren't already phishing attacks that work by pretending to be a LLM.
