But it seems this "economic value" is often created by depleting actual physical resources (e.g. people's health, clean air and water), usually resources belonging someone other than the person capturing the "value"

There is with jpackage. The packages it builds could include install scripts (or custom actions in the case of MSI) to run at install time. The script wouldn't have to do the training run at install time, as I understand it, just the A

It would be nice if jpackage could bundle the generated AOT configuration data along with a custom action in the MSI package to run the machine-dependent AOT compilation step at install time.

That leaves a few questions though (which I'm not implying that I know the answers to): Did this planted forest (used for logging) replace another forest that was used as a habitat for animals? Is it counted as an equivalent to non-log

As far as I can tell, all the recording, storing and transmitting of audio from the microphone happens after 34 minutes in, after the point where they start hacking the TV and telling it themselves to do these things. LG's advertisin

I don't think the title ( edit: of the thread merged into this one! ) is accurate. Starting at 16:04, they say that they merely claim that the TV has the capability to be used as a listening device. In the first 34 minutes, they don&#x

Probably best to treat the wifi password as compromised and change it after the TV has had access to it. But I suppose there's nothing you can do to prevent it from accessing open wifi networks that happen to be nearby.

I don't see how the AI reply could be more concise, clear or exact than what you wrote. If it didn't get the details from you, where did it get them? How do you know it got them right? If it got them from the docs, why not just po

Before JS and WASM we had arbitrary code delivered in the form of ActiveX components, Java applets and Flash applications, which were much worse. At least now we have multiple open source implementations of the runtime.

I can't find anything about that in the article or the Fairphone 6 manual. Do you have a source for this? My main problem with USB-C headphones on my Android phone is how unreliable they are. But if the USB-C port can just pass through

They could still switch to using a Linux machine for most things (that don't belong to the employer), segregating the Windows machine off as much as possible and never letting Microsoft near any of their own data.

Double Commander is pretty good: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/ It's cross-platform, so could switch file manager on Windows first to make it easier to switch to Linux later.

The author is apparently still in the early stages of revising what the AI wrote, according to the README, so readers might want to hold off a bit on downloading the epub. But both the license terms (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) and the repo's LIC

When a form has two sets of mutually exclusive options it might be appropriate? But I find the user experience confusing. It's hard to tell what happened when all the elements moved around, at least without animations.

Why are developers "inherently expected to run untrusted code"? Running untrusted code on developer machines seems like a terrible idea, given that it will compromise everything they build or deploy and (as you mentioned) all thei

More concretely, Microsoft's license [0] gives you at most one of the four essential freedoms: 0. Freedom to run for any purpose? No. 1. Freedom to modify the program? Maybe; Microsoft can revoke it without cause at any time. 2. Freedo

Are there any other CI providers that offer free cloud-hosted Windows runners? Or has Microsoft made sure (through Windows licensing terms and pricing) that it's not possible to compete with their own CI offering? Edit: CircleCI seems

Well, yes. That LLMs are unable to distinguish instructions from data is a well-known and unsolved problem with LLMs in general. This is one of the reasons it would be completely insane to give LLMs access to your data or rely on them for i
