If your relatives are significantly tech illiterate, I'd skip the smartphone entirely and go for a locked-down Linux desktop + feature phone. The most dangerous apps are big legitimate ones. If you do go for a smartphone, my experience

It's not that simple. Cameras don't report 3D depth, but these AI models can and do pick up on pictorial depth cues. LiDAR is incredibly valuable for collecting training and validation data, but may also make only an insignificant

Electrek has a known anti-Tesla bias, and low factuality on reporting related to Tesla. This is not a reliable source. Previously discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46823084

ISPs do care. They typically have a standard procedure where they will contact the customer if they receive structural complaints, indicating an actual botnet infection. It's also very typical to not receive a response to abuse complai

Why? I don't want companies and governments to datamine and abuse my data at all. Be it in the US or EU, it's going to be no-way either-way.

Country-specific local job boards are best. Big tech companies (LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor) are terrible for this purpose. Always apply directly on a potential employers' website, best through email if they accept that. Even printing

Honestly, this is either a game developer skill issue or laziness issue, not Vulkan's fault. Most big game developers have been notoriously negligent at any form of technical optimization in recent years.

To clarify: Microsoft linked to a dataset on Kaggle, which is falsely labeled CC0 (Public Domain). It's the fault of the user who uploaded the dataset and misrepresented the licensing.

If you're smart, AI will enable you to learn, work, and do things faster and better than ever before. If you're a fool, you'll try to put the tool in charge, and you will destroy everything you've built.

There are dozens of websites dedicated to exactly this type of abuse. Regulators are silent about them. Why? This abuse is against Grok's ToS, it was (!) possible because Grok doesn't want to be every user's overly prude na

Digital ID to interact with government services is great. It becomes a problem when they add something like OpenID4VC to it, with the intention of linking it to all your online activity for "age verification". This would create on

It'd be best to create a standard for this using wallet apps. You can obtain an age certificate from any trusted provider (decentralized chain-of-trust similar to TLS CAs), which you can then load into any wallet app of your choice o

It'd be even simpler. If a device is in Child Mode (which would be activated by parents during setup, and require a separate PIN to disable), it'd respond with status.isMinor = true. Or even simpler, make it a HTTP header. What I

True, and that'd be the best method by far. A European politician recently proposed this.[0] The issue is that a single service can't just implement this. If I'm a service and I need age verification, I need something that I

Can't we just do this age verification locally on-device? Just some WASM to run a small AI model, which scans face+ID. I know it'll be easier to bypass, but that does not matter. We're trying to stop children, not adults with

Economics apply the same way to art. It can be one of the most profitable solo-endeavors, when your art is generally accepted as good or meaningful. All the government-subsidized art that I've come across is straight up awful, and nobo
