Yeah; my reaction to the headline was “…and good riddance?”
I never signed up for Facebook in the first place because I knew some of the people involved in the original Facebook. I didn’t want them getting their hands on my personal info because I knew what they’d do with it… and they did.
Spot-on.
I spend a lot of time training people how to properly review code, and the only real way to get good at it is by writing and reviewing a lot of code.
With an LLM, it trains on a lot of code, but it does no review per-se… unlike other ML systems, there’s no negative and positive feedback systems in place to improve quality.
Unfortunately, AI is now equated with LLM and diffusion models instead of machine learning in general.
The phone isn’t going to end up in China from people passing them hand to hand; they’re going to be collected somewhere and bundled for shipping in an EM-protected covering of some sort. The record of the route they took right up until they go silent will be available for every phone. Looking at an aggregate map of this data should give the police a pretty good idea of what’s going on.
I suspect the difficulty is that the police need to get a data release from each individual involved and then get Google/Apple and/or the owners to voluntarily share the historical location data with the police… which most people aren’t willing to do out of an abundance of caution.
Also, relying on relatives is a way of circumventing freedom of movement. It keeps everyone in the same place, at the same low paying jobs, with no hope of improving their or their children’s situation in life. Which is also perfectly in line with the Republican playbook.
“Please beware,” he went on, “that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”
What people don’t quite grasp is that he means exactly what he says.
He considers, for example, being a lawyer to be “unscrupulous behavior”. As is donating to anyone but himself. Or voting for anyone but him.
Vegan pets are being denied food?
Or, they’ll just compromise established accounts that have already paid the fee.
GPTs are designed with translation in mind, so I could see it being extremely useful in providing me instruction on a topic in a non-English native language.
But they haven’t been around long enough for the novelty factor to wear off.
It’s like computers in the 1980s… people played Oregon Trail on them, but they didn’t really help much with general education.
Fast forward to today, and computers are the core of many facets of education, allowing students to learn knowledge and skills that they’d otherwise have no access to.
GPTs will eventually go the same way.
…one step at a time.
Wait… Star Wars has feet?
Let’s re-title that to “Owners are losing access to smartphone app updates and product features when companies go bust”
It’s exactly how Cloud SaaS is designed. It was a bad idea to do it with your smoke detector and smart lock, and it’s still a bad idea with automobiles.
Ah, so you went for a phone battery in the end.
Is she? What did she do that allowed for others to compete?
Although I guess Trump being a loser still suggests he gets a participation badge.
Except for places with access cards and pin pads. You need to have both hands fully occupied and some sort of a clipped on badge for those.
I just imagined what would happen to their GPUs if bricks were used :D
I’d also highly recommend reading https://endsoftwarepatents.org/2023/04/googles-decision-to-deprecate-jpeg-xl-emphasizes-the-need-for-browser-choice-and-free-formats/ — more than features and future proofing, the big issue here is patents. Google controls the patents for AVIF.
Then again, I use HEIF, which is alternately patent encumbered, and default to PNG and SVG for web-facing graphics.
The problem is that stupid is an individual attribute. Natural selection doesn’t seem to care about it in the short term.
To be fair, if someone believes in a flat earth, they probably also believe in an infinite atmosphere….
This’ll get shortened to “Debbie blows $1mil cocaine on Florida Beach, US Border Patrol” in short order I’m sure….
Possibly they’re looking for people assembling their sniper rifles, or trying to ensure that no hotel room gets gutted to become some group’s command HQ with 50 amps of electronics with no shielding sprouting from the wall sockets and clean (de)soldering stations set up alongside an electron microscope?
I know what’s gone on in those hotel rooms in past years, and a lot of it is stuff I wouldn’t want to have to deal with as a hotelier.
So… doomed?
