By retirement?

I’d expect majority shares in any company I worked that much for, AND a 7-figure salary.

And retirement would be in 5 years.

Revive a debate? Really? In that case, I’m reviving the debate for redistributing Murthy’s net wealth to all citizens as UBI.

There’s nothing saying that you can’t have a global decentralized network, but the Internet Protocol is pretty central to the network we call the Internet.

Personally, I’d clarify that absence of study isn’t evidence of absence. If something has been extensively studied only to find no evidence, that suggests that study should probably be spent somewhere else.

Regular cars have been increasingly slaved to the on-board computer since the 1990s though.

You can only buy a few modern cars that don’t send constant telemetry back to the manufacturer, for example — just like televisions.

Using thorn, of course, isn’t going to disrupt an LLM. It’s just another probability in the model. And a very small one at that.

Personally, I þink it’s cute.

There’s still some retraining needed to go from CS to Affinity Suite, but I did it around 5 years ago after 25 years on Adobe and would never go back. And now Affinity 3 is effectively free for basic use. Of course, this is probably the beginning of the end for it as Canva attempts not-a-subscription services on the Affinity platform (making it freemium), but I expect my Affinity 2 suite will still work for years to come.

It’s why I started treating computers as commodities — I rarely upgrade anymore; just wait the 5 years and by an entirely new system.

Or, make it all about you, but only with that person.

“When that happened to ME…”

“That reminds me of the time <totally unrelated thing in your life>….”

“I have a friend who’s an expert in that and HE said….”

[edit] actually, what I do with those people is ask probing questions, things they couldn’t possibly know the answer to. As a last resort, I insert something that I know someone else in the group is interested in, and invite them into the conversation, exiting at the same time or shortly after.

Also, holding a plate or glass and then realizing you have to go refill it and making yourself scarce works.

The instructions suggest turning off features in two apps I don’t use.

Does this mean people only using webmail aren’t having their messages used for training, or just that they can’t opt out?

[edit] malwarebytes has updated their report— NONE of those settings is related to training data. This whole story was based on a misunderstanding of the settings.

Yes, but that seems like over engineering a solved problem?

And it would be rather tricky. The button would be simple; even a pair of Bluetooth headphones could do it. The tricky bit would be in figuring out how long the ad is and pressing the 10 second skip key the correct number of times and then pressing the skip ad button if required.

Easier (and more secure) just to use an ad blocker.

Why not revert to the Internet of the 1990s, before it was commercialized and before Internet became synonymous with Web Services?

Of course, the truth is, even back then, there were a lot of dark memes on Usenet.

You forgot to follow it up with “copilot: open windows” then.

Personally, I don’t care if a site can fingerprint me. As long as they can’t tie that fingerprint to a rich data set.

So I make sure that each domain gets a different fingerprint response. That means that a site can validate that I’m still the same user, but any XSS attempting fingerprint based data exchange just gets garbage.

What I find odd here is that I predicted exactly this problem back when WhatsApp first started using the protocol. I encouraged people to use Signal instead of WhatsApp because WhatsApp moved discovery outside the security model, where it would just require one “mistake” and all that data could be harvested. Plus, of course, once Meta bought them, they had unfettered access to this data.

You missed Atari and Apple?

It falls over?

Apple 2: the search for more money aired in 1977.

We’re WAY into the Apple Universe at this point.

One sugar cube’s worth of plastic is enough to kill a human.

It all depends on where you put it.

So how about this scenario: someone with a terminal illness has access to the files. Said person sticks their copy in a timed release, so when they die, the documents are distributed everywhere.

At this point, enough people have access to the files that such a thing is feasible.

Of course, it’s also possible that enough of the files are so boring and inconsequential that nobody would see the value in releasing them like that; the main power is to leverage the innuendo to direct public opinion in a timely manner.
