Quite sure I reported this JS vulnerability to Google in of December 2022. I also detailed it in a report to SEC. And I kept reporting the issue to Google teams, to which they resp…

Pretty sure this is not a new thing (e.g., https://www.pcgamer.com/war-thunder-fan-says-tank-is-inaccur... )

Love to see it.

"I've worked with some of the leading AI practitioners and thought leaders to create a framework that outlines a new regulatory regime that would prevent potentially catastrophic d…

I'll just use Signal.

Wow. The zero glyphs are superb. The differentiation in shape between "O", "o" and "0" increase readability. The ligatures, while expressive, are intuitive and not over the top. Sa…

Just tested it out. The Kandinsky 2.1 model does render high-quality images accurate to input prompt. Each iteration of a prompt produces more robust interpretation; exciting. Stil…

Lots of errors in this article. Was it AI-generated?

IMO this is to drive adoption. Without customers using your product, it doesn't how much anything costs; there's no revenue. Give it away, increase usership, get feedback, improve …

Exactly this.

Brave has had this "new feature" as a default setting (i.e., block cross-site cookies). Glad Firefox has finally implemented a basic privacy feature such as this, though like you m…

Seriously. Perhaps this article written from a multi-verse perspective, one in which the author lives in a version of the world that didn't experience one of the greatest wealth gr…

Apparently the new Amazon delivery trend is "empty box" according to Reddit [1][2][3][4][5]. [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/amazonprime/comments/11uqmn4/ordere... [2] https://www.red…

Linking the conversation on the Huggingface-AWS partnership, which preemptively calls out Amazon for taking credit for the accomplishments of HuggingFace: https://news.ycombinator.…

Agree. Will Amazon stop carrying Raspberry Pi's and Arduino's too?

Not exactly human trafficking, however there's the "Amazon-owned Whole Foods got caught using child labor" scandal that was recently exposed[1]. [1] https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02…

It's really bad. We probably want to not have monopolies like Amazon moving forward. So much so that we could probably pass laws to prevent it. Just in case we forget.

It's well known, at least internally, that there are "data isolates" throughout AWS. Like some have said, it does preserve privacy. It also is hard to figure out what do with it af…

Welcome to the "mic drop" portion of the comment stream.

IMO the transaction rate is too low because the gas fees are crazy high. This is why we need actual proof-of-stake (not ETH 2.0). EOS is the first project to try an tackle this. Fr…

Have to say, I agree with the author. It should be super easy for us to select "don't use my data" on anything we own - Github accounts, websites, anything that has our real identi…

In defense of crypto, decentralized currency is the way to go IMO. BTC is super expensive but it does mirror Gold reserves. Does this mean the US is no longer the "most powerful"? …

It should be much easier for us to select "don't use my data" on anything we own - Github accounts, websites, anything that has our real identity attached to it. I love everything …

And talent. You can go really fast, and crash and burn. OpenAI is pushing out models with solid improvements, thanks to human talent. I'm not a super fan of the ChatGPT craze, howe…
