Words like cedar/robin/linen come from either the physical or cultral environment that I (as a Chinese) wasn't exposed to when I was a child. Cedar and robin are all species native…

I switched to Chrome (from Firefox) and tried again. Now it's " https://www.meta.ai/?error=Invalid%20CSRF%20token " :facepalm:

Can't login. No error message in the UI. But the URL changes to " https://www.meta.ai/?error=Token%20exchange%20failed ".

I can reproduce when downloading https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/download/2026.03.1... . But it did provide a line of explanation: Dangerous download blocked yt-dlp_win_x…

Well, I'd appreciate Karen is willing to talk and explain whatever inconvenient policies they have. A faceless bureaucracy is even more desperate. My wife and I had many troubles (…

You have a point. Though I suspect that average parents are either too lazy or not tech literate enough. I do want to note that this California law alone doesn't say anything about…

That's not my understanding. This is what the bill says: Provide a developer who has requested a signal with respect to a particular user with a digital signal via a reasonably con…

TBH California one doesn't require age verification (while many other states do). It only requires the OS to provide a mechanism for the user to indicate their age group and apps s…

> Testing workloads that take hours to run still take hours to run with either a human or LLM testing them out (aka that is still the bottleneck) Actually I had some terrible exper…

You can check their GitHub profile. If they are in https://github.com/googlers , then they are internally verified.

1. This California law doesn't require IDs. (Some states like TX do, but mainly for websites "harmful to minors"). 2. If I have to think through your examples -- purchasing cars an…

If you actually read this law, it does exactly the opposite to avoid every random app/website from having to do age verification (like traditional age verification laws requires). …

And "not for use in Texas": https://legiscan.com/TX/text/SB2420/id/3237346 And "not for use in Louisiana": https://legis.la.gov/legis/Law.aspx?d=1428944 And maybe Brazil, Australia…

Repost my comment in the other thread: I know this sounds absurd. But let me try not to be cynical and explain how we got here, according to what I understand: First, let's admit t…

No. Age verification law is not a partisan or ideological thing. It's a global trend. This law is sponsored by both parties: https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_202520…

I know this sounds absurd. But let me try not to be cynical and explain how we got here, according to what I understand: First, let's admit the push for age verification laws isn't…

Searching also works. Actually it seems only the recommendation system is down, which I'd say isn't completely a bad thing.

See the other comment. > did you fight it? I talked to university lawyers (and LLMs) regarding another issue with DHS. For the sake of national security, they have the legal author…

I dunno. Maybe because I used to do research at a Chinese lab when I was a student? That was my impression when I was once questioned for many hours by DHS at the airport. It's imp…

I've been paying for the pro version for a while. It's templating is really powerful and easy to use. For my vocab deck, I set up a input field (e.g., word) and a bunch of derived …

What amuses me about this hype is that before I see borderline practical use cases, these AI zealots (or just trolls?) already jump ahead and claim that they have achieved unbeliev…

It's technically trivial. It's probably already happened. But nothing was harmed I think because there were very few serious users (if not none) who connected their bots for enhanc…

49 as ESL speaker. Fun little game to practice English words :)

Well, before talking about harm, I just don't think there are many real users trusting the bots to do serious things, and even fewer would allow their bot roaming free. My relevant…
