Someone ate it?

Peace and sanity.

Nest and Eero/echo are two brands I wouldn’t trust even if jailbroken. They’ve both been shown to contain more hardware than originally announced after some third party tear downs.

Since by design cryptocurrencies aren’t backed by banks/nations and any transaction is permanent, they are by definition not safe.

At best, you can save out your wallet to an encrypted drive, then write it back to your phone when you need to use it. Make copies, so if one gets lost, you don’t lose the value itself.

On the plus side, the US government has now ensured Anthropic will do more than the bare minimum in the US.

Of course, that means it’s now OpenAI making kill decisions.

My mother’s maiden name was also Spartacus!

My other name online is Spartacus.

Wouldn’t that imply experts exist who know how to teach the practical use of LLMs? Not last week’s LLMs, but the ones that exist today?

Isn’t “theshamblog” AI generated? So in this case, including the Ars article it’s referencing?

The pieces are dated 2024.

Conceptually, it would be Junior.

Prince may also be a contender. Neither is a perfect match.

I think this may not be the best time for them to do that….

So… the human brain can act like a spider’s spinneret… we just need a way to extrude the human silk instead of letting it gum up our brains.

A concept of an agreement on trade.

This might be romanticizing the early Internet.

I can remember plenty of flame wars in the late 80s and early 90s that were all about shutting down meaningful discussion. Informed debate flourished in niche areas, but it still does today, in a similar volume. What’s changed is the massive volume of social media that’s grown up around it, including many types of voices that were in short supply on the Internet in 1989, and many of which are uneducated and/or tribal in nature.

Sandstone is a rock, as is soapstone.

Like father, like son.

We have a system like that locally. Emergency vehicles have transponders that go on when the siren turns on; all the lights in the two block radius around them turn red and a white light flashes at the intersections.

Works quite well.

Nothing xenophobic about it. That’s just the model we already have documented information about. Notice I mentioned CCP and government, not “the Chinese”.

That’s like calling someone an antisemite for being against the Israeli or Iranian government.

Ollama with standard Gemma2 model open to the Internet. What could go wrong?

I call out this one because the Chinese government has already examined it for exploits and flaws.

Letting it run outside a sandbox on the Internet is tantamount to sharing any information and capabilities it has with the CCP.

Anyone who has acquired Belgian nationality in the last 15 years and is found guilty of a serious crime – including homicide, sexual assault and organized crime – can be stripped of their nationality.

I can see it being revoked if acquired under false pretenses… not sure about crimes committed after citizenship. Sounds to me like they aren’t really citizens for the first 15 years. Which is fine, as long as they’re clear about probationary citizenship differing from full citizenship, and it’s not retroactive.
