Not offering solutions here, because I think it's more multi-faceted than I know about. But when people are afraid to take on the debt of on-board EMS for a 911 call, and local pharmacies are forced out to be bought up by the top natio

I'm thinking more of a future where big tech successfully moves the overton window for AI, people gradually rely on getting information/entertainment from LLM's more than books, then it can follow the regular plotline of 451

TFA is a bit obtuse about it, and assumes you've read their previous article on the topic, but from what I gathered, it's about whether the AAMVA would standardize cryptographically signing the barcodes of driver licenses to mitig

I was flagged by Facebook to provide a government ID years ago, presumably because I tend to use a VPN and never really provided any personal information. I imagine it doesn't take much on any of the other social media platforms to loo

I appreciate the update. I wish RCS was more open. I'm still astonished that it wasn't until 2024 that iOS adopted the protocol. Relying on everyone in your group chat to be all Android or all iOS (iMessage) wasn't helping an

It will always be a cat-and-mouse game. I don't think it's possible to have any sort of visual that an algorithm can't be trained to recognize. sidenote: did Adversarial Fashion stop selling the ALPR shirts/hoodies? That

Signal > RCS > SMS. Just because RCS can't be done without metadata doesn't mean it's a fruitless endeavor. Why not have someone use RCS to then get on Signal? That is so much better than plaintext SMS to Signal. And fo

Thanks! I noticed on one of my phones that RCS breaks once the Messages app is out of date by a certain amount of revisions. I hope this is an arbitrary decision by Google to invalidate older versions, given that the RCS protocol hasn'

To look for a certain waveform, wouldn't you need to obtain all of the mic data at all times? I think that's what's implied by "listening" here, but semantics are rarely an interesting discussion.

The lack of single-file components is one of several reasons I wouldn't reach for React prior to the LLM craze[0]. For personal projects, I love Svelte. You wouldn't need tailwind there for the reasons proposed given their support

Yes, I know the tweet was from Asha Sharma. The crypto site referenced throughout the site null and voided my ability to take much of it seriously. At the end of the day, videogames _are_ profitable for these shareholders, granted that as m

Last I was on the platform, they eventually added a tab for only chronological posts on the timeline a-la how IG used to work. But they gave no exposure to it, _and_ it completely hid the IG stories of your friends so nobody would want to u

An article that references a tweet and some blog site called "beincrypto.com". That's not the first result for me, and I'm glad it isn't. It's also only referencing hardware sales. Not the Xbox division. edit:

Are there sources for this? I'm seeing an 11% increase in revenue from their 2025 Q4 report[0], and still a 1% increase in their 2026 Q1 report[1], the off-season for the videogame industry. Hardware revenue's falling, but it&#x27

Honestly, Cursor's AI harness worked best with the Anthropic models. Could just be my bias though. Evaluating frontier LLM's all seem to be by vibes. I think the industry is understanding it's both the harness and the model t

Is that not one of the counter-arguments? You're disagreeing of what Searle determines to be "intelligence." We don't understand how consciousness works, what it's like to be a bat, or how this emergent property cam

It all comes down to semantics. And yeah, with the thought experiment, Searle presents three axioms of what could constitute intelligence. Then proposes the chinese room thought experiment as an approval of his third rule, "Syntax by i

I'm guessing whether you believe it possesses intelligence or not depends on your answer to Searle's Chinese room thought experiment[0]. I'd also recommend checking out the Peter Watts' book, Blindsight. [0] https:&#x2F
