Great news, and hopefully more to come across other publications! If only aaronsw was here to see it :(

That's not the same thing at all. Especially as LLM's get smaller, WhatsApp can make a lot of money reading your messages and listening to your calls on the endpoint in order to ma…

As a non-benefitting fan of DEI, it always seemed like too little and/or too late [1] and the current generation of efforts have paid the cost of perceived injustice that are obvio…

if someone had told me that "full of AI" was going to be an insult one day, I would have said they were too cynical about the glorious AI future, but in hindsight perhaps you are r…

More likely to be a fake match so that people can't check whether records are in their database.

Was the email they offered to send the code to f**k@corpdomain.com? I tried this with my current and former employer and got seemingly the same email username "f**k", and seemingly…

"Allowing somebody else to harvest it is money straight out of Facebook's pocket." In that metaphor, Facebook owns the soil and they sell the harvest by charging for promoted posts…

don't usually flex with tech but isn't uMatrix [1] just a little bit harder to learn and a million times more satisfying? at least on my often-used systems, I have a hard time imag…

after a bunch of looking, the paper that had the most detail on quality and sensors used is https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S036013232... ! the most accurate read…

Those are subjective but there's a good paper on accuracy here https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S036013232... ! tldr for CO2 best is https://www.kaiterra.com/en/la…

After looking at CR and buying quite a few others I'm pretty solid on alen.com standalone units, altho a central HVAC definitely seems more effective, esp. given that you aren't ne…

Precisely, and in that context, let's remember that such projection is fundamental to our psychology. Thus, this story would better serve as litany of cautionary vignettes of human…
