Yet in principle the social benefit described (amplifying voices of the unheard) isn’t entirely out of reach for social media as a category, especially if we can escape the era of closed platforms. Open alternatives are still relatively new. There is a plausible future in which closed platforms are left behind and we become much more capable of keeping mass public manipulation in check.

Agreed, I’m pretty used to security key unlocks and still wouldn’t want that friction on a personal device.

Also just for completeness, since I forgot to mention: enabling stolen device protection and findmy/mdm to enable remote wipe.

Disclaimer: I only use iPhones for security testing, so this is more from related literature rather than first-hand experience.

IIRC the hardening unattended reboot could offer is already covered better by options like disabling biometric unlock, security key 2FA, enabling lockdown mode, enabling advanced data protection, disabling iCloud, disabling USB accessories, and so forth. Also unattended reboot seems like an easy prank vector or foot gun to render a device permanently inaccessible (i.e., device always reboots immediately after pin entry) requiring recovery mode reset or restore to fix.

If similar to equivalent state regs, when access to customers residing in that market is gated by compliance and subject to lawsuits or ban, the first phase of business-side operations change is immediately setting up minimum compliance workflow like a special webpage coupled with countermeasures (like proof of residency; IP historically difficult in court but has been used successfully for state-specific age gating) and boundary testing cycles. With especially large markets, however, the overhead associated with maintaining multiple separate workflows fails the efficiency test and the workflows are merged, which is how everyone tends to benefit from pro-consumer laws like GDPR.

I was going to say, this only stops children with no techie friends. Pirates use seedboxes already. Everyone else knows how to double hop.

You also don’t technically need DNS to access websites but even if you did the constant influx of fake slop and scam sites filling search results of Google and Bing should be some indication of the difficulty of maintaining and enforcing a blacklist.

But this is why many switch to new systems like IPFS or return to old ones like Usenet.

I think this may overestimate how unwilling the average community member is to operate pirate radio

ETA: I do believe in sharing the airwaves responsibly, since bandwidth is limited, I might just feel a bit defiant towards the current FCC

Andrew Yang might have been known to treat his audience to a nominy, a folk orative tradition of speeches delivered with formulaic rhyming prose, much to the other nominees’ chagrin.

sounds like that’s exactly what he proposed

My instinct is the same as yours but we must make an exception for, specifically, calling for dusting off the perfectly serviceable existing regulations which apply

I call this rule “we have regulations at home”

and nobody will do anything to stop it

Many are trying, though options are severely limited by the fact that, two years ago, the entire US government was gift-wrapped and handed to fascists by a bunch of democrats who figured “why bother?”

I don’t know who they’ll run, but I know they’ll be worthless

It sounds like you think there won’t be presidential primaries. Or perhaps you think you aren’t allowed to vote in them? You are. And what’s more, since participation is quite low historically your vote likely has quite a bit more influence in the primary than in the general election.

Because ‘judgement’ is an inherently grounded ability, something LLMs cannot exercise, fundamentally, only mimic or approximate with heuristics. Sorry but obvious is obvious.

Individual photos could be transferred. And most of their recent SOCs can do on-device image interpretation. That’s how their Photos app captions and labels pictures. It’d probably work OK for large objects even at low fidelity So I think that’s possible.

Still not really sure how they would capture video. At nearly any resolution it would heavily tax the grain of rice size battery, on top of the processing power needed for encoding a video stream, and that’s assuming their new chip includes P2P WiFi capability to solve the bandwidth issue.

What I expected they might try was passive spatial mesh construction using either SLAM or LiDAR to integrate with their spatial computing and accessibility or indoor navigation. But if all it’s doing is describing what can be captured in a photo, that sounds plausible.

What a charming fellow

Uh oh found the biomed PI ;) +1

Edit: something tells me this alcoholic rage muffin hasn’t published anything but abuse lately

That quantum computing is not superior to classical computing except WRT specific problems for which quantum effects can be leveraged. And currently there are no quantum advantage algorithms known or proposed for ML-related computational tasks (though there are ML methods applied to quantum optimization). To put it in perspective, the computer in your pocket is thousands of times more capable WRT inference than the best quantum computer on the planet, and we don’t expect that to change, because quantum computing isn’t meant to replace classical (“legacy”) computing, but rather to augment it.

Arguably those sections are exactly where LLM use would be least problematic; i.e., summaries, future work, etc. Those sections are also where language proficiency tends to have the most outsized effect, where LLMs might be used to achieve a degree of clarity and brevity that’s otherwise out of reach. The fact that there was less evidence of use in methods and results would be a good sign WRT usage trends, I would think.

I use LTO4 tapes.

• Bare LC drive eBay $~60. Pulled from a library so I had to switch the operation mode. Missing the bay door and kinda dinged up but worked.
• Celerity FC81en HBA card was $~30.
• 1.6TB tapes sold in packs of 5 around $11/tape. Probably can do better than that at higher volume.

Overall take: slow noisy writes but viable for cheap stable long-term storage.

Note: for each of the components above I set price alerts and waited. If in a hurry, maybe skip tape storage lol

He never uses /s and I’ve seen him eat way more downvotes than this. But yes, he’s playing on a Robert A Heinlein quote.

Good riddance. Let’s get some progressives in there.
