Likewise, opened a couple in the past few years and never saw this. That said, bank lobbies have tons of ambient cameras anyway, so they don't really need a selfie.

Seems kind of outrageous you had to agree to any terms, even minimal ones. TVs existed for many decades without needing terms.

It fits in with the rest of privacy in the US, which is slowly becoming reserved for the wealthy. The 1% already have privacy consultants to help them keep their data private through shell corporations, legal trusts and other tricks. (The

The government's lawyer's statement is fair in that interested parties should be named so they can participate. However there are a few major problems: 1) Unfortunately, there isn't a right to a free attorney for a civil cas

This is the part all the articles are glossing over. If the settlement terms include age (identity) verification, this is a big loss for everyone's privacy. The plaintiffs will take this template and apply it to other networks like D

True about federal, but state level tax is sometimes done on gross receipts instead of profit.

I am a human and I upvoted the comment immediately. Do not underestimate the wide ranging hate for age verification. Even my normie friends are against it. Meta/etc have been buying those laws but at the cost of more and more people

Not op, but check out open code; you can turn on K/V quantization to help with increasing context if you have not already. I think K needs to stay at least 8 but I hear V can go down to 4?

These solutions will never be viable, and I'll explain why. Fundamentally, there's three sets of the population: 1) Those who are clamoring for age verification (generally on sites they never interact with themselves.) 2) People

Yes, but important to note that the prosecutors are pushing for AV (ID Checks) at the site level. Both sides of this fight are actively anti-privacy.

While bad, this is far from the first problematic cloudflare behavior. They host a lot of sites with illegal content and refuse to action abuse reports. I support legal free speech, but any business who knowingly serves blatant pirate web

I like the idea of micro payments, but I don't think they'll take off versus existing ad/subscription models. The problem is economics: the vast majority of people are simply unwilling to pay even a cent. Part of this is pe

Hah! I wonder if an llm could even play dwarf fortress. Could make for a fun esoteric benchmark.

My phone is blocked but not my desktop (yet). I guess the upside of reddit selling all that post data to AI firms is I'm not sure I'll really need to use reddit anymore. Which means I'll never login to post since I won&#x2

Thanks, I've been mulling over buying some of these so I appreciate the heads up.

One of the lobbyist organizations is backed by the data broker industry (AVPA). And it's well known several privacy rapist corporations (Meta) are also backing these bills. So yes, it absolutely affects us, and that should be obvious

If you don't like free speech, feel free to move to Russia, China, North Korea, etc. But don't drag the rest of free society down with you.

To use a tired cliche, 'freedom isn't free.' I used to roll my eyes at that, but I have recently become convinced that the only thing holding us back from a total backwards slide on civil rights is a small number of citizens

I love free tube, but in my experience it cannot get around the login requirement for mature-flagged videos.

Yeah, I had no idea Microsoft thinks trust means auto run immediately a script. I always just thought it was something more pedestrian, like restricting debug launch links or something. I will probably not use vs code at all for untrusted

I started to get interested and then realized it's yet another monthly subscription based email platform. One of the main reasons SES is popular is it is pay what you use. In addition, it's not immediately clear if SMTP is suppor

In my own tests, the abliterated models perform equivalently to the same version in an apples-to-apples comparison (if you compare same quantization). Thinking is working also. The main difference is I don't get annoying prompt refusa

Space data centers are an intrinsically cool idea, and honestly I hope we see at least one for the sheer marvel of such a project. But to be cost efficient, it has to be cheaper than rural US, cheaper than buying some island, cheaper than

Age verification is not the will of the voters. It is the will of large political donors (specifically tech companies and religious censorship groups). It is certainly not the will of adult citizens who use adult websites, who have overwh

Didn't know ACM was anti-privacy. Glad I haven't paid dues in who knows how long if they're spending them to platform these noxious opinions.

I vaguely recall some crypto project that was 'blockchain for domain names'. I scoffed at it at the time, but maybe there is a real need for something like that after all. (Or some other system for domain names you truly own and
