Their 3rd party audit didn’t catch this… I guess we’ll see how they respond.

I’d take it one step further and say they deserve to have their rights respected as well and the outcome pursued by law to reinforce the ethics undergirding law. It seems like this…

In the pour-over section, the authors hit on a good point about height and creating a vortex in the slurry. Water temperature and flow rate are important variables too. Combined wi…

Imagine being so intelligent to do so many things with a skill set, yet choosing to spend so much time on an animation that can be measured in microseconds. The proportions are sta…

Finally got my $45 payout from the last class action suit against Apple for the butterfly keyboard fiasco. Seems like Apple didn’t learn the overarching lesson here: keyboards have…

I agree. The title is incomprehensible.

Apparently OpenAI has zero interest in private user data. I have a hard time understanding how they’ll deploy this defense of “what about private user data?” in court.

I’d like to know what happens to cell phone use after school lets out. Are these students more likely to spend the rest of the day online? I could also see it going the other way. …

At least with medicine there are ethics and operating principles and very strict protocols. The first among them is ‘do no harm.’ It’s not reassuring to me that these companies, bu…

It’s not worth much if a human has to fact check the AI and update it to tell it to “forget” certain precepts.

Speaking of dozens. I’m on a 12 Mini and will be hard pressed to give it up. I also replaced the battery recently and am still quite pleased with its performance!

Except they aren’t merely reading and reciting content, are they? That’s a rather disingenuous argument to make. All these AI companies are high on billions in investment and think…

Masks were absolutely good at first as the medical services were at a loss how to treat patients even under the best circumstances, so disease prevention was crucial. There is an a…

And seeing where they’re at with the plot line killing off Bond, it’s definitely an inflection point to see how they reinvent the series. Until now, Bond never actually died, but A…

Paris to Berlin is now about 8h. I thought it’d be shorter. I also think Paris to Milan is approximately the same time.

Doubt that’s going to change anytime soon with Lee Zeldin the incoming EPA director.

It’s probably more helpful to think of them as spectra or overlapping circles of behavior. When we talk about psychological disorders, they are clustered and only useful insofar as…

More so when you realize that capitalism drove everyone’s attention capacity into the ground, so activities like a full-fledged board game or reading a book are things of the past.…

I recently installed LibreWolf to separate online lives, but I remain ignorant of what actually distinguishes FF and LW. Also, to which tweaks were you referring?

I'm guessing this is all public tracker use, which is pretty low-hanging fruit.

That’s how I read it. GPT was given the CVE list and could use zero days accordingly.

What appeals to me is the choice about when I want to enable the smart features. Instead of finding myself victim to alerts and being late to the notification, I want to choose whe…

I gave this a try. I'm already a skeptic towards cell phone usage, but I figured why not try to push it a little further by "minimalizing" my home screen. Dumbify is easy enough to…

I’s guess it depends on who you’re talking to: some organizations or states see Palestine as a state, others do not, and others see it as a future state but not one at this time. K…

It's not just about peaks, it's about covering the gaps when the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow. We know the former happens every night, and wind is less predictable. T…
