They've remained a continuous feature of right wing scare media.

Guns are accessible, but prior gun ownership is skewed, and prior gun ownership is one less barrier to cross when attempting political violence. In theory, that should mean increased attempts for that high-gun-ownership demographic.

But that's not a very useful definition so we usually don't both enforcing that constraint.

I believe you have misread the comment. In 2015, it was expanded and extended until 2019. After that, it was allowed to expire and was not extended or expanded further.

Flat, closed-minded positions like this are why the USA is the only developed country that enjoys the privilege of regularly burying bullet-ridden children. We can have gun control. We can limit the damage that civilian weapons can do, whil

I'm sure there's multiple depending on what angle you want to take. Historically, it's been "USA is not the only developed country that has had this problem, but it is the only one that hasn't solved it." Maybe

Lot of support sites are AI generated themselves now. Lenovo's support site is absolute garbage, it has entire articles dedicated to explaining how to use your laptop's screen as a monitor by setting the HDMI to INPUT instead of O

No, in fact I block every such account I see. I go on Twitter for inspiration of various kinds, not for doomscrolling, although I recognize that that's in vogue. But the owner of the platform has been demonstrated to artificially push

This isn't how it practically works though. You hit a saturation point where there's no more work to be done. There's only so much software to write, only so many ad campaigns to push, sometimes you just need to maintain, sta

This is a thought terminating cliche, ironically about a thought terminating cliche. X does have a problem with actual, literal, antisemitic, genocidal Nazis. No funny business or stretched definitions. Nazis. Dismissing it just because of

Existing features are also suffering and going unfixed. If you browse any tweet with more than a few dozen replies, loading replies takes a notable amount of time, and X very conspicuously does not load all of them. Sometimes changing reply

I'm guessing over-update their opinion/view, but that's the first I've run into that turn of phrase.

F-Droid isn't throwing stones, that's someone entirely unaffiliated with the project. F-Droid's hosting and infrastructure makes use of many projects and products that are not FOSS.

He seems to be stating that app release cadence correlates with internal upgrades that correlate with model performance. There is no reason for this to be true. He does not seem to be talking about user experience.

The chords are different, but the only functionality missing from the other OSes are predictive text, text expansion, and skipping to the beginning/end of an entire text box. Are those the text editing features you're referring to

People aren't mad that they collect the data, everyone does that, but that they immediately deleted it, then lied about it ever happening, in a matter of life and death. I would deeply encourage you to re-assess whatever led you to mak

Hefty. The process is effectively just injecting all of the JS into the Node interpreter executable, so it's the size of the interpreter plus whatever you stuff inside. It's close to 50MB.

Yes, I've created single-file Gleam executables by compiling to JavaScript and then using Node's experimental SEA (single executable application) feature. As a bonus, typically I've found the JavaScript targets to run a good

Not my point, but I agree with it so. The statement was one of capability. There are some things that the tech is flatly not capable of, and that it will take time to develop the capability of. Even if there were no safety concerns at all a

"Full self driving" was the term used and I believe the distinction is relevant to the point being made.

You can't easily convince a remote computer to curl | bash itself. Worms spread because remote code execution was laughably easy back then. Also because computer hygiene was abysmal. LLMs are more than happy to run curl | bash on your

Nobody is immune to propaganda. Thinking you are paradoxically makes you more susceptible.

by jdiff 1y ago
It is not. People are allowed to do what they will, as long as those people are not the outlet itself. The propaganda outlet loses control over it and cannot push the media through, only hope that others pull it from them.

Generation X is pinned starting in the mid-60s. The Millenials follow, with Gen Z capping the range off in the early 2010s. It's about 50-60 years.

by jdiff 1y ago
Two decades ago makes the GenZ reference confusing, as the very oldest of them by the most generous definition would be only 9 years old. With a span across 50 years, that range from Gen X to Gen Z is just awkward to place as "young bu

It's perplexing, to put it generously, but it doesn't throw the semantics of the entire sentence into question.

It may seem that way, but there's no way that they haven't tried it. It's a pretty straightforward idea. Being unable to escape untrusted input is the security problem with LLMs. The question is what problems did they run i

I deleted a whole paragraph with exactly that example, so at least if we're wrong, we're wrong together.
