Well of course, that’s the point - it gives the French government the cover to investigate while sending Israel a soft warning. “Israel, thank you for your cooperation, my gosh, we’re really going to get to the bottom…
Ah, see, you didn’t recreate it just because of the interface; you recreated because it’s currently a high-trust social environment, because your friends and family are using it, because they know who you are. Old…

Is it just me or is it a huge letdown that the text is all AI-generated? Or at least, in the same kind of saccharine style? Are people not able to detect this?
Yes, because drawing is a way of thinking. There’s a distinction between technical drawing in plan and section, vs perspective. When you draw at scale, the size of your pen and its marks become scaled to the size of…
The truth is the truth, whether or not it might align with a narrative or stereotype. For example: NSA wiretapping was a truth that happened to align with pre-existing conspiracy theory narratives. It was easy to…
sigh; this argument is the new Chinese Room; easily described, utterly wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEUclZdj_Sc

Unfortunately it smells of ChatGPT at points.
If fighting X requires you to inflict war crimes, perhaps you should question the premise of why you are fighting in the first place.
This isn't true; no reverse engineering or firmware modification is necessary.

This either 1) assumes a homeomorphism between rationality and ethics, or 2) is technically true but missing the point. Akin to saying: "Human deaths via a tsunami isn't a 'bad thing', it's a natural phenomenon"
I looove this site. This helped me plan a Trans-Siberian/Mongolian train trip almost 15 years ago. So many people I met on the trains used Seat 61, too. An absolute classic.
> Minimum height in the stairway isn't part of the specification Uh, yes it is? It's in most building codes, as well as in the IBC (International Building Code). Architects don't deal with structural soundness; that's a…
Good point! Then: 2036: Due to increasing amounts of deepfake CSAM, the US's Congress passes a law against unconsensual deepfake porn, requiring "websites of sexual nature" to be POR-compliant or be shut down. Porn web…
Here's a scenario: It's 2030 and deepfakes run rampant. This is a problem creating political deepfakes, celebrity fake porn, CSAM, fake revenge porn, etc. Apple builds on their Spatial Photo feature, and their newest…
Doesn’t work on a Kindle Scribe - maybe the user agent string is different?
Knowing little about this - a genuine suspicion is - is this a feature, not a bug? As in - doesn’t this arise out of an incentive for health insurance companies NOT to cover procedures? I can only imagine that this…
I agree, but this has nothing to do with rights, which are a legal construct. This has to do with power.
All of what you're saying is true, but it doesn't make assault okay.
Very interesting! The one-minute videos are really clear, and the interface simple and brilliant, and I went from someone knowing very little about the system to someone thinking "if I built wheels for a living, I would…
Very glad this is mentioned. Form follows function, sure, but it follows capital and construction methods and labor practices. The author would best wonder why this is global, and not look towards solely design trends…
It’s called a name, and names have real meaning, because they’re created with social agreements. Paper money, too, is valuable only because we agree to do so. Ergo, Saying “all this hullabaloo over a bunch of green…
