Yeah but SSH and RDP aren't used by grandmas that get their wallets emptied by scammers. Forced SSL everywhere is a good thing. It's bad that it's run by corporations, but it's still a good thing overall. Maybe it should

I think people are going to use it(a few millions people could need it and there is no solutions available today), but I don't think it would be important enough for them to ever pay.

99% of people don't even know what's an API key.

Google have a specific easy to detect user agent when they're scraping websites. WEI wouldn't prevent them from scraping websites.

It's a bit extreme to put it like this, but is it that far from the truth? Besides black hat stuff, and grey hat stuff like mass scraping, who would that bother?

You do realize that a lot of apps are blocked on emulators? Do you manage to bypass those limitations?

sometimes I forget that most people on HN live in uncivilized countries like the USA In normal countries that would mean we could save thousands of lives by warning people without even having to test them. Since denying insurance because of

I'm pretty sure it's a relatively small model? If you had the same quantity of text data as GPT-4 + comparable quantity of data for other domains, it could probably learn transferable skills across those domains. But it would take

Israel will hack your devices, Mossad could come into your home when you're not there, encryption is kind of useless if you're actually targeted. PGP and Luks could get you tortured. Leave this hellhole or do nothing "incrimi

Prescriptions wouldn't be pointless. I can get access to any drugs on earth, I'm still not going to try any random unprescribed med for the fun of it. A prescription means your doctor said I think you need this, at this dosage, fo

Raw milk products are routinely consumed in France, I've never heard of someone getting sick from it. I'm not a big fan of milk consumption, but maybe the US should just send farmers and industrials to jail when they put people li

Cigarettes are killing more people than all the substances you mentioned. Also the fact that you include "creatine" among those substances is extremely ridiculous, creatine is available OTC and present in many foods, it's obv

It's pretty awful actually.... I sent a one liner prompt to Chat GPT(3.5) to generate an article about some technical topic, sent it to this detector it said 99.98% real... there is no way to detect decent LLMs at the moment

well it's also pretty hard to simulate a phone, even a lot harder than a browser imo for example I'm pretty sure the GPU/canvas fingerprint can't be faked
