Wow, how did we go from "it's impossible to enforce region locking online because you can transmit information instantly across the world" to "locality more easily enforced in the digital world"?

But how does it compete on OCR? I find that having good quality at a cheap price is more niche than having the best quality at 10x the cheap price, because for most use cases you want to pay a bit more if it saves you mistakes later.

I agree with you, AI agents are fantastic for learning.

Yeah, it's really tiring reading Claude's output all day, every day. Nowadays I yearn for a different style.

I mean maybe the exploits they found weren't good enough to allow them to do whatever they want with the phone.

There's a decision to be made whether corporations should be allowed to do anything they want or not. The countries that choose to let them do what they want, will obviously give them an advantage over the countries that don't. Yo

Maybe the software can only exfiltrate information, rather than change it.

Kouloglou is a famous investigative journalist, not you and me. Yes you and I might think we're being scammed, but someone who actually spent a lot of their life getting death threats probably would pay more attention.

It's possible, if the attacker controls the device enough. I don't think a big "you're being targeted" warning is something you don't notice, or forget.

Why would they get a fine for complying? You can install alternative app stores on iPhone perfectly well.

This trick is also used extensively in submarines.

Yes but saying "it would have justified the price if they had included extra expensive things" is the same as saying "it should be cheaper". Sure, but stuff costs.

Must be frustrating for the radio host to have to wait mid-sentence for you to unmute.

The roller mutes when pressed. This is what set me off: > Like it's been a case for like 40 years or so?

"Asked" is usually a euphemism for "arsed".

Ah yes, the play button, and also clearly the reverse play button on the opposite side, which presumably makes the audio play in reverse. I have the same car, those are the previous/next buttons.

by stavros 4mo ago
That's a great solution, I wish mine did that.
439.
by stavros 4mo ago
Well, either I'm very dumb and didn't think to press play on the car I own to solve the problem I've had for years, or you're missing the fact that there is no play button on BYD cars. I wonder which it is.

But still no pause button, only mute! Just maddening, do they think I only listen to radio?

Even on the holder, you'd use Bluetooth, and those buttons work. With Android Auto/CarPlay you can also use a joystick, if your car has one.

I had an issue where my thumbnails were borked somehow, so I deleted them all. However, I didn't delete the database entries, so they never got regenerated. I ended up doing that manually, but it's great to see that is now a first

It's not.

That's because it was written by an LLM.

Excellent, I emailed them too but no reply yet. Yeah, given that we should be able to choose what app store to install, this seems wildly illegal.

I don't understand how this is legal in the EU under the DMA, does anyone know?

I guess this explains how I could play tennis for two hours in the sun in 35 degree heat (35 C in shade). I guess I'd better not try it again now that I haven't done it for a while.

by stavros 4mo ago
Yeah I'm now in the camp where it's just refreshing to read something another human wrote, even if it has mistakes, just because I'm tired of only reading a single author everywhere.

Well, if Mythos gets rolled out generally, zero!

It's far more time-consuming to judge the quality of someone's past contributions than to have the LLM redo the contribution with quality you can control far more.
