That makes a lot of sense. Less funny tho.

It looks like the LLMs weren’t trained for medical tasks. The study would be more interesting if it had been run on something built for the task.

tl;dr there’s a bunch of base64-encoded PDFs in the Epstein emails. Buddy had a hard time extracting them because the files are exported as images and the one and ell characters are almost indistinguishable.

Dude eventually managed to distinguish them. 🤷‍♂️

It didn’t work for me, either. Maybe it depends on the languages? I was trying French to English.

Isn’t that where Amazon makes 1/3 of their money?

they made a whole movie out of this one

Dude is right: parental controls suck. I suspect that’s because they kind of take a back seat in most purchasing decisions. Of the various platforms I’ve enabled parental controls on (Apple, Nintendo, Android, Xbox, Epic, Roblox), I’ve found Epic’s to be the most straightforward.

It’d be nice if there was a mandated API that any kid-platform had to support, and a nice simple app to control it.

Is this new? Aren’t most tracks already available in torrents?

The Fuck Monks?

We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

lol

This post has a lot of serious answers to what is essentially a “no”:

In the UK, there is a non-virtual contingency plan, or at least there was. If the internet shuts down, the people who know how it works will meet up in a pub outside London and decide what to do, says Murdoch.

“I don’t know if this is still the case. It was quite a few years ago and I was never told which pub it was.”

What? Taiwan doesn’t want to give up its only strategic advantage? I’m shocked.

I’m curious how long it would take to build the supply chains and fabs to make the 50% things a reality.

The Wired story says the same thing but with more context and less “trust me, bro”.

They are both interesting reads.

Everything that dude says passes the sniff test: it seems like it could be explained as a run of the mill criminal spamming operation. The Secret Service story doesn’t offer evidence that there’s anyone extraordinary about it.

FWIW the dude also makes a number of unsupported statements that seem to be “trust me bro, I’m a hacker”. The statements aren’t outlandish, so maybe.

I expect cultural references that make sense.

They could have just said “I love the smell of burning fascists in the morning”.

“I love the smell of fascists in the morning…”

That doesn’t even make sense. Napalm, yes. Fascists tho?

The plant will generate about 880,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year—enough to help run a nearby desalination facility and supply around 220 homes. That equals the output of two soccer fields of solar panels, but osmotic power keeps running day and night, in any weather.
