> you can't express emotions if you don't have any That feels off. When I watch an actor on screen conveying emotions, there's no actual human being feeling those emotions as I wat…

Fair points, within the context that IP rights are fundamentally made up and shifting rights crafted to balance the concerns and interests of various parties. I can't tell where th…

Cracking is about removing anti-features, typically copy protections. It pairs well with pirating, but neither one strictly requires the other.

Notably that show features a gargoyle who seems very proud to be walking the streets with all their cool hardware. With the Vision Pro, Apple is going to let us become the pretties…

New GPT-4-powered business model just dropped.

I think scraping websites that don't require authentication is legal in the US nowadays. Monetizing data acquired through scraping could run afoul of copyrights, so the love letter…

By far the best feature of the minitel 1B for a kid like me with no budget was that it was free, as long as you could get your hands on one. I have fond memories of endlessly annoy…

Chrome sets it if you tell it you want to use its spellchecker with some languages. I'm not sure what the standard says, but i suspect you'd surprise users considerably less if you…

Right. Once upon a time, it used to be a decent resource for computer security-oriented news items.

Speaking of python things, there's an actively developed JavaScript implementation of tensorflow called tensorflow.js, which has its own set of backends to leverage GPUs in browser…

Hmm how long before we start to see companies extracting money from ransomware gangs by deploying honeypots and selling access to them? Imagine getting blacklisted by ransomware ga…

It's definitely there, and updated often: NewPipe (Lightweight YouTube frontend) - https://f-droid.org/app/org.schabi.newpipe

Right. Criminal prosecutors, like many other criminals, are the product of their environment.

Unfortunately their jsdoc stuff only exposes a subset of their typing capabilities, so you're leaving some advanced type goodies on the table.

They do. I used that "feature" by accident recently. I think one of the accounts was a shopping account, the other started as an AWS account. Both accounts have the same name, same…

There's a csrf token set in a php session that's hard to guess that needs to be provided in form data, yes. Probably difficult to exploit that way without first finding another bug…

I expect we'll find out that Libra's default set of trusted validators will be perfectly willing to accommodate local regulations. More than that though, AML/KYC and any other chec…

Sure, I knew exactly what I was doing by daring to use the popular parlance rather than the GNU/preferred nomenclature. Being labelled as "unfortunate" is certainly the least that …

Maybe if you know what the "GNU operating system" is, it's a great description. As for me, I had to keep reading until I saw "Linux" to go "oh ok, it's a Linux distro and they're b…

Got a new phone, tried to activate it through my cell phone provider, was only given worse plan choices than what I already had, used the chat widget, waited a while, was asked a b…

What did they exaggerate? They mentioned the attack can work with roughly a week worth of unprivileged runtime, as long as the ECC mode of the ram chips in the targeted system has …

I really want a way to get a generated voice recognition transcript for all that content people really think needs to be in video form. 2x playback is still 14:45 too long in this …

I think the ability to mine is incidental here. This is more likely to be targeted at dapps developers by offering them an easy setup for both test and production environment.

Probably mobility, hence increased ability to seize opportunities as they present.

They used to do a lot of fancy things, back in the days, including running bits of suspicious executables in heavily sandboxed interpreters to spot behavioral patterns. I'm guessin…
