Small correction: authoritarianism requires using hyper nationalism / ultra nationalism to isolate people from external sources of information, in order for propaganda and censorship to be effective. Which is indeed the motive behi

No, this is an absolutely terrible idea. You're suggesting a giant, centralized, government-run data silo, with all of your online activity tied to your real-world ID. This is far worse for privacy than any data broker, it's har

Steam does. That's why they're the undefeated king. This applies to everything. If you see a product category where users are legitimately unhappy; then enter it, build something actually good, you'll be the biggest and riche

That's no solution. If you can't trust and/or verify dependencies, and they are malicious, then you have bigger problems than what a sandbox will protect against. Even if it's sandboxed and your host machine is safe, you

But it doesn't give him anything. We're talking about an offline, private, decentralized, OS-agnostic mechanism here. Zuck is no privacy advocate. But users care about privacy, and he most likely cares enough to take action becaus

Europe and the US need to bring manufacturing of EVs, batteries, solar, and relevant components back locally. Use automation to make it more feasible. We need rooftop solar + regional SMRs for a cheap, stable energy supply. To do so, we nee

The same way that I handle anyone who blindly trusts anything on the internet. Could be an LLM, TikTok or YouTube video, Wikipedia article, news article, whatever. It usually involves some form of "well, no, hold on..."

I use LLMs as a coding assistant. I don't vibecode. The result is that I'm actually improving my skills much faster and better than before, while also working far more productive.

It's nothing new though. Forum spam has been around since the early internet. The only difference is that spammers use LLMs now, instead of $0.08 worth of "freelance writing".

Wired and wireless will always co-exist. Your casual consumer prefers wireless. Professional audio equipment for mixing and critical listening will never favor wireless over wired. For pros, $20-50 wired IEMs beat $250 Airpods every time.

Looks interesting. I was somewhat skeptical, but it appears to be a legitimate open protocol. You can use it to build a search engine for products across many smaller stores, and facilitate ordering from within your app, which appears to be

No, training and inference are two separate processes. Training data is never redistributed, only obtained and analyzed. What matters is what data is put into context during inference. This is controlled by the user. AI/ML is complex

If kids are being persistent and the parent is indifferent to it, then online age verification won't be effective either. Children will just ask mom and dad to verify their Roblox and Discord accounts.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: The standard should be that devices ask whether the user is a minor during setup, and make that available as an is_minor boolean to all apps and websites. Children's devices are alm

It depends on how the payment app works. Android provides a native Contactless Payments API which can be used by any wallet app. This is local to the device and works flawlessly on GrapheneOS as well. You can set your preferred wallet app f

You're presenting a false dichotomy. I'd argue that installing and setting up GrapheneOS on a Pixel is as-much or less effort compared to setting up an iPhone. And it gives you full freedom and the best possible security while d
