And the US wanted to install a breathalyzer in every car a few years back. How is this supposed to prove anything?

I think the groups pushing for these laws are largely right neoliberals. Historically, while being nominally in competition with both far-right and left, they have found it much easier to compromise with the right or mobilize against the le

To make the point explicit, Orwell wouldn't find most dystopian the fact your Speakwrite refuses to write anti-state messages, and support the right to subsidized local uncensored Speakwrites. The battle for the public minds was lost w

If the point of those events is to be registered by the game program, you already have all the data you need, otherwise you're building a keylogger. The most the kernel can try to tell you is what's plugged in, but the cheater can

But really, if HID becomes suspect too, then why do you even need kernel level anti-cheat, if all you can do is behavioral detection?

Orwell also imagined a future where Speakwrites made everyone unable to write by hand, making their thoughts dull and tanged as a long unprepared monologue tends to be. I don't think he's anywhere on your side.

I'm currently learning electronics, as well as having just recently sat my Physics/Math finals. I can tell you with 100% certainty you CAN'T learn shit from /just/ video. Actual learning requires you to think about

There are a few other banks running their own NFC payment systems, like Swedbank in my country.

I recall a year or so ago, there's been a story about someone hacking McDonalds loyalty program, with that app doing something stupid like storing your balance on the client or something. It seems instead of firing whatever offshore sw

Play Integrity has several levels. GrapheneOS MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY, which I believe only requires a locked bootloader and no superuser. There's also been some discussion of spoofing MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY, since before Android 13 it d

I kept thinking this was a play on crank as in charlatan and crank as in hand-crank. Generate any flavor of crankery with the turn of a crank. Turns out it wasn't satire...

I do not defend the current state of things where a select few companies get to shamelessly violate the law with the entire legal framework bending around the weight of the money trapped in this speculative bubble. I believe LLMs are at the

Is it actually possible to determine how much the weights were influenced by each work? I might recall reading some interpretability paper years ago that trained a special model that could attribute each answer to a part of the corpus (like

The funny thing is most of the world had already pioneered the airhorn ID long ago. Very few of them saw any decrease in 4 AM airhorn activity, yet some are already well-known to arrest and harass airhorn users to international human rights

We are just animals, more capable in reasoning than many others. LLMs aren't; their subjective "experience" restarts every session, they degrade into incoherent slush with larger context windows, and their reasoning is real b

Congratulations, you have turned CUPS into a long-term support contract with Anthropic at $20/month, except the other party doesn't have to actually fix your shit and can arbitrarily alter the agreement.

Only by having the LLM random walk the hypothesis space with a validator rejecting invalid ones. The reason why LLM hypotheses are any good is because it already consumed a civilization worth of knowledge. You couldn't have bootstrappe

There's also the matter of brand reputation. You don't want to make your ads seem like your own or your user's public communications.

Why is U-Block telling me stonetools.ghost.io is in the fishing/badware list... If the webmaster is here, you might want to take a look.
