I think ubi has merit as a short term stop-gap measure, when a replacement system is ready to be introduced. My expectation is it will drive inflation up just by there being more poor-people money to sweat into the corporate/landlord e: toilet paper is more appropriate.

elshandra ,

For free? Surely there's some way to get that shit out.. Or at least, the panel.

elshandra ,

"It broke"

elshandra ,

Just Gabe working on a god tier game.

Well AI fact, in this use has always been made up of a combination of man's fact and fiction. Nobody's been smart enough to make an AI that can reliably separate the two, to my knowledge.

elshandra ,

I believe the solution is curated data models with the top members of the applicable field determining validity or a stack overflow model.

I think you're on the right track here, but will retain the same flaws ultimately this way.

Personally, I believe the models should be open and all interested parties have varying degrees of influence over the accepted truth. That's going to be a complicated in itself.

By limiting it to "trusted people", you only have to corrupt enough of them, and eventually you end up with the same shitty problems, but with bots too.

It's owned by money, not people. I left with apis and 3rd party apps. Glad I did, quality has taken a real noise dive. Now I just read from old. If there's a reason, without logging in.

elshandra ,

I had burned cds with different songs, a lot of pearl jam and nirvana, more tool though. Older stuff too like pink floyd, led zep, bowie, etc. Carried around about a dozen.

elshandra ,

Yeah, sometimes even whole albums need to be together. Or groups of songs. The convenience we have today is amazing.

Old and new can mix surprisingly well.

elshandra ,

The way those those "maybe"s are used, are trying to illustrate their elevated doubt. So like "if 3 independent lawyers all agree I'm not getting fked."

If Google and Microsoft are reading all of the emails in gmail/o365 (they could), then half of your data is probably getting caught by the recipient, or quoted in their replies anyway. Along with your email address of course. It's a losing battle.

e: oh you're worried about that. There will be a token that maintains the authentication, Google (probably) won't have your Microsoft password - they don't need to store it, or even use it ever. The technical term is SSO (single sign-on), if you want to delve into it.

elshandra , (edited )

Oh right, if you save your passwords in the Google browser, or your Google phone.. They might be stored in Google's servers in some fashion - to allow you to share them between devices for example. But you do have to enable this functionality (assuming Google isn't evil).

Well outlook is a complicated one, your credentials absolutely need to be stored in a place your (pop/imap/..) mail server can read from. Else how can they be validated. So if that's Microsoft, then technically they have your credentials.

Any mail provider that isn't evil, won't be able to read your stored credentials until current one way encryption methods are no longer safe

e: in the case of stored/shared browser passwords, I that's two way encryption.. That's less safe, I recommend not doing so if you can handle the inconvenience.

elshandra ,

Yeah it's really not that difficult once you get the basic concepts, then it's navigating your own maze of rules :p

Things like ausearch, aureport, audit2allow make light work of it.

elshandra ,

I'd not be surprised if they just had some other way to obtain the data, that's more reliable anyway. By legislating against it, maybe they dodge some contractual obligations idk, there's a million possibilities. That's a paranoid perspective.

In reality, I assume if I'm on the internet, or out in public, something somewhere is probably collecting data on me. Maybe that data is being linked somewhere, maybe it isn't. I believe privacy will be history soon. I think this will ultimately be a good thing.

elshandra ,

That answer would be a lot more obvious if the erosion started with the rich.

elshandra ,

Oh my mistake, I was saying my take was paranoid.

elshandra ,

Yarly, I can only use edge inside the work environment and I was missing this functionality from Firefox. Thanks, OP. e: autocorrect.

elshandra , (edited )

What an interesting and extremely limiting perspective.
I'm not a in the writing industry, I'll do my best.

Two writers write the same article, beginning at the same time. One uses a quill, ink and blotting paper. The other, vi. Is the one using a PC less of a writer for using the tool to make it easier?

The pc crashes so they end up finishing the article at the same time anyway.

The handwritten one is then delivered to an editing teams intray.
The pc one, is thrown to an AI for preliminary editing, and instantly the writer checks/corrects edits. Repeat as necessary and submit for approval.

There is room for AI in writing, but I think writing by only humans will be more diverse and therefore enjoyable.

e: somehow dragged a line to the wrong place.. Need an editor :p

elshandra ,

You're not wrong in any way, they definitely do need more funding. No matter how much you throw at it, the enormity of the task of making sure everything that wants to come to market is safe for humans.. I can't imagine how humans can even keep up.

Sure, the risks associated with brain implants are high, but it's something you (hopefully) very consciously have to agree to. It's more value to test some artificial sweetener to make sure it doesn't give us diabetes.

elshandra ,

Just skate over the "record and" there.

elshandra ,

It's only a hop step from there to something less invasive thankfully.

Intravascular neural interfaces are already reducing the invasiveness, but hopefully that is just a short step.

elshandra ,

Hopefully the people elon's persuading to do this work are better aligned.

Microsoft is once again injecting pop-up ads into Google Chrome on Windows in a bid to get people to switch to Bing ( www.theverge.com )

The software giant first introduced malware-like pop-up ads last year with a prompt that appeared over the top of other apps and windows. After pausing that notification to address “unintended behavior,” the pop-ups have returned again on Windows 10 and 11....

Community support is a thing, it's not the lack of support that's to blame here - have you ever used Microsoft support? Linux support is much more accessible even.

A lot of the blame here, is Microsoft's clever marketing campaign providing windows to educational institutions - with support - for far below cost, in the early days when pc adoption was on the rise.

Distribution saturation is a barrier to entry and focused support, and it is sometimes more complicated to install and repair. Sometimes it's easier to repair, because windows is too busy trying to hide its internals from you.

It's usually easier to support a remote IT-illiterate person using Linux, by comparison to windows, today.

e: I guess to be fair, if you factored in community support for windows, your options open up quite a lot. I was more thinking about my own interactions with their support. But enterprise support/problems are not the same as personal ones.

If I was a hiring manager and saw a video like this from a prospective employee I would just throw their application straight in the garbage.

You probably wouldn't be a hiring manager very long with that attitude. I don't get the appeal either, but I don't do tiktok so. Just from the linked piece, it sounds like it's becoming increasingly common.

Quite a leap to posting private company details online. Where are those stored by the way? Office 365? SharePoint? The cloud?..

elshandra ,

I got the rest from this guy named Ralph in an alley--stupid asshole didn't even charge me, he just told me to close my eyes and suck it out of a hose!

elshandra ,

No way would they have forced you to sign up to/in to meta either though.
