The big question is whether OpenAI is training on "de-identified" sessions that are marked as "do not use for training" The answer is almost certainly yes, and this is a problem for most users.

Here they basically admit that they use session data for training, even sessions that are marked "not for training", and they justify this by "de-identifying" the session. Which means they can learn from whatever you dis

Giving parents control of child mode is much better than the state deciding. If Parents want to fake the ages of their child, that sounds good to me.

The right implementation is to have parents mark certain devices as "under 18", and then have those devices perform accordingly. This give parents useful control, and removes the state overreach.

The best way to write concurrency in any language is a single threaded polling loop. Goroutines and messages are just as bad as all the other alternatives, which is to say they are a miserable way to write code. But Go is also perfectly goo

Actually the rule is that your solar system must stop feeding power to the utility if the utility is down. You are allowed to run in isolated mode if your system supports that. Yes, even in Germany.

It is definitely and absolutely caused by LLMs. I must do 20x more GitHub operations now, and since the agents know GitHub far better than me, I'm using more advanced features. Multiply this times all of us.

It would have been a lot more interesting if her has just explained Beads (the only thing her claims is novel). So probably there is nothing here. Very painful read.

Could this somehow be a scissor statement? This is simple logic, there is no motivation here. HYPOTHETICALLY let's say your uncle has an 80% chance of having cancer. Do you say that he has cancer? Or would you say it's likely that

Reasonable and true statements: - "He hinted at use of force" (he did!) - "I think he's implying the use of force" (you own your thoughts!) Problematic statements: - "He IS implying use of force!" is actua

The hard way was tariffs, you know that. Now you’re saying he didn’t actually make a threat, but he implied one? Which means you’re assuming his intent to be whatever makes for the most lurid headline. Funny that these professional journali

It’s not a threat, and yes it’s atrocious statesmanship. Did he hint at the use of the military? YES Was that offensive on both sides of the atlantic, inside and outside of diplomatic circles? YES Did he actually threaten to use the militar

Yes, he definitely refused to rule out use of military force! But that really and truly is not a threat to use military force. Consider the following hypothetical: - * IF * the questioner had followed up with, "Are you threatening to u

With AI there will always be people who learn more, faster using AI. And there will be people who use AI to avoid learning. When moving abroad, I hope folks will do the former (and the latter as tourists). When I move back to Japan I'l

The right way to age-restrict is for parents to configure certain devices as kids devices, and then it would be easy for any service to know if they are communicating with one of those devices. This gives parents control, and honestly would

While extreme cases are the easiest to imagine, in real life the plaintiff almost always argues to pierce the veil and the defendant always argues the opposite, and both sides earnestly believe that they are right.

One approach is for parents to establish certain devices as “under 18” (or 16 or 13), leaving it up to the judgment of parents.
