I was unaware that technological progress stopped for everything but LLMs. All other types of technology have achieved their final forms. Wow. Seriously though, every AI story feels the same lately. There's: 1. company…
That's exactly the problem though; humans will anthropomorphize everything from a roomba to a rock as it is. We're weak to this. We evolved in environments where looking for and recognizing real animals and humans was…
I believe they are just saying that fandom.com sucked and made the internet worse even from the start, not necessarily that Jimmy Wales is corrupt. Wikipedia actually does appear to have separate pages for every Lord of…
It's not possible to downvote comments on this website lol
Why does it feel like everyone has just ignored/memory-holed this? https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/wikipedia-bans-a... That whole debacle is even specifically relevant to this thread because the operator of…
Email OTP is garbage without the option to also add a password. That just outsources the problem to the user's email service, and assures that compromising the email inbox alone is enough to immediately also compromise…
I'm not giving up recovery codes, nor my ability to default to locking out people who physically have my device. I usually don't allow auto-login or biometrics login either. If a website/app goes passkey only (or, even…
Whether or not it should be so, individual pirates are routinely taken to court, jailed, given insanely harsh punishments in an attempt to make them an example/deterrent, etc. "Should piracy be illegal?" is a different…
This is not one of those times.
LLMs do not produce repeatable results, by their nature. Two people can give the exact same prompt to the exact same LLM and get different results. It's not a straightforward 1 + 1 always equals 2 process. This is like…
The page you linked to doesn't say that anywhere.
Oh no, some people are terrible at cooking. Better ban cooking without a license. Giving your neighbor a home baked pie is now a crime unless you're a licensed pastry chef.
You can't be serious.
I wish the AI bros would take a fucking philosophy class. Jesus.
You changed the title and made it 93% more misleading. That completely made up number is meaningless. So's "AGI", for that matter.
How to spot a Dunning-Kruger-afflicted idiot: they find or invent a simplistic measure of "intelligence". And then they put themself at or near the top of their imaginary tier system. Also might refer to "IQ" as a thing…
I mean, he's not getting a royal allowance, even though his father does. It sounds like they already have peaceful transition away from monarchy worked out, in which case, threatening or committing violence is senseless…
He gets inheritance rights, so he'll inherit money from the royal estate (built up through his ancestors' royal allowances, or through any other means the throne has used to accumulate wealth), even though he doesn't…
I get what you mean, but using a word with a very specific meaning in a legal context to mean something else that's similar and likewise in a legal context, but with a more vague definition, will just create confusion.…
Is it not happening on Chrome even when you don't have the browser itself logged into a Google account?
That makes it worse, not better.
They literally didn't deny that. They made a separate point you appear not to have actually read. Regardless, I don't want baked-in Firefox adblocking in part because I don't trust Mozilla with that task either. They'd…
Light text on a dark background can be illegible for people with astigmatism. (Somewhat depending on the axis of astigmatism vs. the direction of text.) Or if not illegible, at least a blurry, uncomfortable mess to…
This is a terrible idea. It's just removing functionality in order to remove a button. With this, there will suddenly be a bazillion frustrated users who want to force an exception to their timed dark/light mode cycle,…
