    So a fake ID but using your face? How would they know? Does the US government expose their database to private businesses? I always wondered how these things work. I normally run a…

    Well Anthropic did not ask for permission before they distilled copyrighted material. At least the Chinese have the decency of giving back the model weights and not put BS censorsh…

    That’s the most puzzling part to me. What’s the point of the PIN then? I was assuming it was mixed with the TPM secret somehow but if it can be bypassed then it shows it just an IF…

    They are? Nobody writes JavaScript anymore. Everything is Typescript. Even PHP and Python have sort of back ported type annotations. What major language is still purely dynamic the…

    Same here. Potholes in England are part of the tourist package.

    Too easy to dunk on the EU. The UK, USA and Australia seem to have reached the same conclusions. In UK all young males now have a VPN rather than do whatever you’re supposed to do …

    Isn’t this “high level rust” idea similar to swift? Everything is ARC. Clones are cheap. But you still have a reasonable sound type system and no garbage collection. I get it. Tool…

    Is there any videos of this thing or maybe just the OS?

    Oh you can declare anything… but the minute you don’t pay you taxes you’ll realize it’s just words.

    I think this was explained before. But basically the processing takes so long (over a year) that you are guaranteed to overstay most visas and leaving the US is considered as aband…

    So the right process is to request for a K1 fiancé visa which takes over a year?! I can see why people were tempted to cut corners, especially given past tolerance…

    The UK (same as the US) has lots of extra territorial laws. Enforcing them is another matter. It’s easy to make Apple budge because they have money ties to the Uk. This works less …

    The UK has no problem asking their ISPs to block the Pirate Bay. Why can’t OFCOM do this? I don’t understand the attempt to pursue this in a foreign country. It’s fairly obvious th…

    The problem is that these private companies have taken a disproportionate place in public discourse. You are absolutely right that freedom of speech does not guarantee the right to…

    The article has a very long list of alleged Israeli violations of international law and human rights. Here's a quick summary. Genocide in Gaza. It is described as a "genocidal camp…

    The irony is that JD Vance lectured the Europeans about their lack of freedom of speech in Europe while invited in Germany.

    I’d be curious to know how the UK going to enforce its extra territorial law against a company with no ties to the UK?

    No doubt it’ll be an open source app you’ll be able to recompile for your non Android/iOS computers. Otherwise I really hope to government gifts me an ID computer.

    Don’t cars and ropes and drills occasionally kill people too? Society seems to have accepted that fact long ago. Somehow we expect the digital world to be devoid of risks. Cryptogr…

    I remember doing that for some custom installer I wrote. It felt like a good idea for 5mins until it got flagged by a bunch of anti virus software… had to sign the installer in the…

    I’m surprised it’s that big to be honest. I was expecting it to be smaller or half the size to be taken by some app icon. I remember writing this kind of stuff back in the days and…
