Last time I tried scanning and printing on Windows, it took me over an hour to get the device recognized, the right drivers installed, the printer to actually receive the print job, and so on. Printers are just shitty pieces of hardware, Linux or not.
What you’re referencing is distillation. Anthropic even has an article on distillation “attacks” (as if they have some divine right to the data behind their models) that goes over it a bit.
This is the bullshit they’re telling themselves behind closed doors
Birth control pills usually come with a ton of risks. If you ever actually read the box, there are so many things that can go wrong with it, some of which I’ve seen firsthand. That’s not to say those things will happen though, and like all medications, the obvious solution is to just stop taking it if you experience those side effects.
Using that to say contraceptives are bad is stupid, though. It’s only one of many types of contraceptives. Also, birth control pills serve an important role for many people. Even ignoring their importance as contraceptives for the huge population of women who do not experience those negative side effects, they’re also given to stop periods to help with stuff like endometriosis, where having a period could result in internal scarring.
All this to say their bullshit is small truths mixed with larger lies. For example, what they’re saying about cancer is bullshit, but blood clots might be a real risk.
Are any of the reported polling numbers reliable? I’m not too sure who VTsIOM is, but if they’re state-owned, then I’m inclined to believe that anything they say is bullshit.
Does Polymarket even serve a purpose beyond decision makers robbing the public? The whole thing just screams “scam” to me. Everything you’re betting on is controlled by another party, often in ways where that other party can influence the odds in one side’s favor. Even casinos aren’t that terrible by comparison because at least they can calculate and publish the odds of winning.
recovery email which they did not hash
How do you recover an account on the other providers? Do you have to provide the same recovery email you set before during account recovery? If you hash the email, you have no way of reading it anymore, so someone has to provide it to you again.
I’ve had laptops where this is a BIOS setting. A simple switch on the side of the keyboard to flip which keys are on the fn layer solves the problem too. Same with key remapping, for keyboards that support that (and really any nice keyboard should or it’s not worth the cost).
What does any of this have to do with GPL or open source licenses? Military applications all have strict validation requirements that rule out the majority of open source anyway, and your first example doesn’t even explain how the software being open source would be dangerous at all. Actually, for that matter, nor does the military example. Encryption doesn’t work because the other party doesn’t know your algorithm lol, it works because the other party doesn’t know your secret keys.
I would expect the jury to be nothing less than world-class experts on statistics, linear algebra, and calculus once the case is decided.
If you’re referring to GPL variants, that depends. You can absolutely use GPL software and libraries with closed source software. You just need to separate the GPL portions from the closed source portions with some sort of boundary, like running it as a service of some sort or turning it into a CLI tool. You’re just not allowed to create derivative works of GPL software that isn’t also GPL.
Also, there should be nothing dangerous about open sourcing code (unless you’re referring to financial risk to the business I guess). Secrets should never live in code, and obscurity is never secure.
That’ll buy, what, 3 drones?
In good news, we got a summary of his 9950x3d2 review, which was basically that it’s a ripoff at $900. Unironically, if you’re somehow in the market for a CPU like that, consider either the 9950x3d for productivity and core count, or the 9800x3d for gaming. The 9950x3d2 brings nothing to the table for anyone outside of maybe some niche applications which need both core count and cache size and can afford the latency for data transfers between CCDs.
Or, I guess, don’t buy anything because all the companies suck and everything is unbelievably expensive. Who needs a computer anyway?
Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.
I agree with this. They have a duty to permanently rid the world of these sick fucks, especially for the sake of defending their country from them and people like them.
If I had a nickel for each time The Onion bought InfoWars…
Here’s hoping John Apple does what it takes to make me actually consider an Apple device! Like, I don’t know, making user-friendly decisions without the EU getting on their ass about it first.
Does this mean you got access to your accounts again? No more worrying about the other device? If so, that’s really awesome!
Of course, it’s fucked up this happened at all. Fuck that dude.
Related, but not Argentina:
On my trip around the US south, something stood out to me in TN: there were signs posted in some parking lots that explicitly said people needed to park in the parking spots. It felt weird until I tried to park in a busy parking lot and saw why.
There were cars parked in no parking zones, including ramps, walkways, and fire lanes.
There were cars parked on sidewalks.
There were cars parked on the grass past the sidewalks.
I could barely navigate the parking lot on foot. I have no idea how I’d do so in a wheelchair.
Also, while I call out TN, it’s not uncommon to see cars parked in no parking zones and especially in front of ramps and walkways across the rest of the US.
It’s sad to see that this is a common issue in many parts of the world. Raising awareness can help, but there really probably needs to be more strict enforcement.
the camp was about religious indoctrination
This seems like the most likely reason to build the camp there. It must be intentionally designed so that you have to just have faith that your kid will make it home alive. Either that, or it’s designed to help people’s kids meet God or something.
I have no way of contacting the police, but even if I did, they wouldn’t care.
You can visit the police in person or ask to borrow someone’s phone, but also one of us can contact the police for you and ask them to drive out to you if you want. I’d at least make a police report even if they do nothing about it. Also, share it around your community, and someone might show up with two of their friends and “ask” for your phone back.
Seems pretty fucked up to steal from someone who lives out of their car, though.
WOTC has a lot of very passionate devs working there, and having looked at job postings in the past, they don’t receive anywhere near the recognition they deserve. Here’s hoping this gives them the chance to be properly compensated for their work! It’s still a miracle they are able to build and maintain a rules engine for MTGA that works as well as it does.
