The robot says it's not a robot. I'd say it's lacking self awareness.

This has nothing to do with RSS the protocol. There could just as easily be a SaaS scraping web sites and serving cached contents.

What about RSS eliminates tracking? Refreshing the feed is exactly the same HTTP request as fetching a page. With RSS you have to make the request periodically to stay up to date, so I'd say you trade some of that temporal tracking for

This reads to me like it requires the entire answer to be published under the GPL. I guess it does cause accidental violations of the GPL, but in the same way as pasting GPL code without attribution. Or pasting MIT code without attribution.

Consider two timelines: immediate, and long-term future. Which world is more free? A: short term more free: you get to do what you please now, including not giving others the freedoms you got. B: long term more free: copyleft ensures that a

How does the GPL limit the freedom to run? I think you might be misunderstanding it. The only limitations are on distribution: giving the code to others without giving them the sources.

How does stack overflow cause violations of the GPL? Is it not possible to clarify the license when posting an answer? As far as I know, it's so far rather unclear whether using machine learning systems cause violations. Care to suppor

I'm sure if Passkeys are found to be susceptible to quantum cracking, they will move on post-quantum encryption.

Meant by whom? To some, device they carry in their pocket is meant to be a light hacking tool. That modern devices can't do that even if the owner wants it is a travesty.

Even if not all bits can be error corrected successfully, surely there's enough correct bits remaining to recover some secrets. A 512-byte sector with 100 bytes stuck is "unreadable", but I wouldn't want my secrets to b

Will it though? What if you had some bad sectors which became unwriteable and now contain sensitive data forever?

There are plenty of bots on reddit. People are clearly not expecting only human replies. Even if they were expecting only human replies, it's because humans is all that was available before. By this logic, there wouldn't be any ac

That would have been interesting if it supported a local translation engine. Also, it's missing easily findable screenshots of the desktop version, and a list of features. Is it something that only accesses translation APIs?

They might be clear, but they are not universally accepted. Ultimately, usage makes the definition.

It's understandable: opening the training sets would increase the risk of the hypothetical happening, so it's difficult to expect the first camp to advocate doing it. As for "stealing", it's controversial if "s

"Reading too much" means that the article is not using "reality" in the philosophical sense, and while it's not "wrong" to think about it, it's also orthogonal to the apparent purpose of the article,

You're reading too much into it. "Reality" here is used as a metaphor to aid in learning. Given equivalent mathematical descriptions of something, they are all just as true, or just as false. None of them is more "real&q
