“Once again repeating the last thing he heard, elderly man now agrees with the ai industry”

Its not true though.

This was sent around recently, on azure specifically. https://isolveproblems.substack.com/p/how-microsoft-vaporized-a-trillion

It reads a bit like one engineer with a grudge, and you never know what the interpersonal skills of people are like; but the overall impression is of a competent engineer face with total chaos.

The bit about each azure host having a webserver shared across all client vms for info query was gobsmacking tbh. Though i dont work in this area.

Oh god no, yeah suing them is stupid. Just chargeback. Thatll cause booking.com endless trouble in itself.

Charge back will have no fees, and theyre not going to come after you for the money legally as they know theyre in the wrong.

And in many countries defending against them if they do challenge the chargeback is also free, except for time.

What are they gonna do? Tell the cia and regime change me?

Its been left behind

I only mean the verification is clearly in the app that uses it then.

So apps can look at it and verify the users age? 🤔

If youre talkong about local models youre not really talking about what everyone else is, and youre already avoiding the wave

I dunno, if we were pushed off machine code onto non-deterministic compilers that ran on a machine thousands of miles away with no way to know when it was changed i think we’d have balked at that too, even if compilers themselves are entirely positive.

Surely the main language is still c?

Dynamic resorting lists are awful.

I dont use macs, havent for years, but its genuinely sad their ui has fallen to that low.

I suppose it would matter if i wrote anything down by hand in the last ten years

Seems fairly plausible that they cant change 1.1.1.1 behaviour per country.

At least, not readonably. Dns is the one place where people spend a lot of effort saving microseconds (and less) on each look up.

Amazing this is so downvoted.

It is literally impossible to discuss free speech online, and has been for decades, due to a tsunami of americans thinking their specific law is the only position possible and flooding all debate with smug explanations of how it actually works, actually.

No im not arguing its hard to define, im arguing that youll have to ban children from whats app. Private minecraft servers (even ones owned and run by the kids) too. If you dont do this you leave a space for the tech giants to bring the targeted ads and then youll have to ban kids from each space as they move in.

Any communication channel will fall to this if you take the approach of banning children from them one by one instead of stopping this behaviour by the tech giants entirely by legislating against targeted advertising directly. These services are just as toxic to adults.

Because the line between “social media” and “talking to other people” is so blurry as to not exist.

Also, and more importantly, the power of these companies is so great in effect youll only enforce that facebook etc. are the only ways of talking to each other that can exist legally and entrench the very problem you want to solve.

For example, is whats app social media?

Im not sure what youre arguing here? its possible to control access well as a parent, but so much easier if the state force everyone on the internet to provide id in order to prevent teenagers talking to eavh other?

You yourself csn target what you think is harmful but a law will hit everything and everyone, and like i implied in the driveby about roblox still might not actually block something you find unacceptable.

This is just the wrong approach to achieve the goal.

Youre on lemmy! This is like the one place people will decry facebook, x, reddit, insta etc. But what your arguing for will end up with them as the only services that can navigate existing legally, and children will still work around blocks because they simply dont care about consequences for lying about their age.
