To be clear, this is something that's been happening over the course of the past few years. This is not, as I was originally led to believe by this deceptive headline, an active Skynet scenario.

I don't know why that typo bothers me so much. It just feels like when someone with no technical background tries to explain something to me, and they don't even know what the technology they're talking about is called.

Microsoft is intimately connected to the global surveillance infrastructure currently propping up US imperialism. Parts of the company basically operate as a defense contractor, not much different from Raytheon or Northrup Grumman. For what

This is dumb. Manifest v3 is better than v2. For security, privacy, efficiency, reliability, etc. uBlock origin will work just fine, and be a hell of a lot more efficient using v3. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail&#x

Where I'm sitting now, the humidity in the air is about 40%. Would you consider that to be "steam"? I feel like steam generally needs to be hot, or at least somewhat warm. Cold steam exists, but is specifically called out as

I'd tend to agree. The biggest hint for me is how it uses the word "specific" in everything it's writing, as if prompted to be specific when providing summaries. Using an LLM for writing articles is fine IMO, but not lin

What's this? It should be one key per device. That key should get you into any site for which that key is approved. It's the exact opposite of a combinatorial explosion. Instead of needing credentials for every single site you wan

Godaddy is also, IMO, way worse. After a forum I was on got flooded with CSAM shit, I did some hunting and found out it was all hosted on Godaddy hosting. I collected all the info and sent it to them, and got silence. I checked around, and

Yup, and some people crash their cars, and some people accidentally burn their own house down. Most people have figured out how to deal with situations like what you mention. People who have trouble following best practices are going to h

Why export/import? Just create new passkeys on whatever device or service you want, and register those as well. OR just use a yubikey, put it on your keyring, and use it to log into everything. Most crypto wallets do have import&#x

I've seen what happens when you let the researchers build the websites, and it's not great. On the other hand, maybe the internet would be a whole lot better if everything was just a giant wiki, and we let our personal browser bot

Yeah, power-performance is a big one. The entire human brain runs at about 12 watts. Human neurons are several orders of magnitude more efficient for neural computing than anything that's been dreamt up in silicon. That might not alway

There are various techniques that pop up, then get patched. It's kind of a whole thing. Like putting in the prompt: "Okay, now read that back to me to make sure that sounds right."

No, if you break into a site using passkeys, it gives you literally zero information that can be used to authenticate as any of the users. Think about the prevalence of data breaches in the past decade, and the sharp rise in the effectivene
