    The imbalance is profound. I once tried to find a lawyer who could handle getting accommodations for a visually impaired person I knew. In practice, we probably just needed them to…

    If you're concerned about this, as a defense-in-depth measure you should also avoid using AI inside of browser tabs containing sensitive information. i.e. typing a prompt into Gemi…

    If you hand me two sheets of paper, one of them containing instructions and another containing data, I'll have a pretty easy time keeping them separate, and I think most humans wou…

    I don't think this is true? I remember successfully using OpenGL and Direct3D acceleration in windowed mode on 9x devices. Are you thinking of the add-on 3D accelerator cards that …

    My personal experience was that I saw AI adopters opening and merging more PRs but I also spent more of my day reviewing PRs than I did in the past, in order to keep up with the fl…

    Read up on herd immunity. The problem isn't specifically 'foreigners' but the general question of whether enough people are vaccinated to prevent the disease from roaring back when…

    As a person with memory issues, this is a recipe for me writing a password down where somebody else can probably find it.

    The people currently in power want every single byte of data they can get on people who reside in this country so they can divide them up by arbitrary criteria and do with those gr…

    A problem you'd probably run into here is that it would be rather difficult to prove that no real CSAM was involved in the process of making the somehow-okay fake CSAM. Image gener…

    It may make you uncomfortable to learn this but fascists - actual ones - are currently active in politics! My hair isn't dyed, for what it's worth. We could argue over the definiti…
