Haven’t other countries tried DNS level site blocking, and it’s very easy to get around? Does it even make any difference? The strategy of ISP copyright letters has already trained Americans to use VPNs for this, it seems like the only difference will be that I will have to turn my VPN on before searching for torrents instead of just before actually opening my torrent client
I think it would be pretty cool if this was used on leaked proprietary source codes
Even where they aren’t, I bet this is something that could end up happening when using them as open-ended agents that might try making their own accounts. The article also mentions this:
Furthermore, with the recent surge in popularity of coding agents and vibe-coding tools, people are increasingly developing software without looking at the code. We’ve seen that these coding agents are prone to using LLM-generated passwords without the developer’s knowledge or choice. When users don’t review the agent actions or the resulting source code, this “vibe-password-generation” is easy to miss.
I sent an email a few weeks ago, hopefully they’re at least noticing that people are aware of these laws as a potential problem.
More corrupt and less democratic than the countries that have got it probably
An advantage of github is that its social network type features give you ways to make more educated guesses about whether a project is legitimate vs a malware trap. It’s great that it is not difficult to find alternative hosting for git repos to evade Microsoft’s censorship, but I don’t think there exists an ideal alternative solution for trust infrastructure, which is extra important for anything piracy related.
Actual avocado life hack: buy way too many avocados, then when they decide to be ripe on their own time, cut them into cubes and freeze them. Now you have avocado on demand whenever you want.
Oil is fungible, so Oilcoin would make more sense than a non-fungible token. It might be tricky to figure out a way to transport physical fuel over the blockchain, but annoying details like that are what vibecoding is for.
A rule of thumb I think is good for most sorts of investment is, what choice can you feel good about making whether or not it works out? I can handle not getting 1k, but I would feel like a real chump missing out on an easy 1m without giving my best effort. If I pick just the mystery box and win, I feel like that win is deserved. If I pick just the mystery box and I walk away with nothing, then at least I don’t have to live with the shame of being a 2-boxer, which is more valuable than $1k. If I pick both boxes, I most likely get a little bit of money and a lifetime of bitter regrets, or in the less likely case get 1.001 million dollars and a sense of having barely avoided disaster and not really “deserving” it. Choosing only the mystery box is the clear choice because it is the choice I am more able to handle having made, on an emotional level.

Don’t younger people prefer streaming and direct download pirate sites to torrenting anyway
Actual human beings were able to find each other and ask direct questions without this giant mountain of bullshit engagement piled on top of it
That’s the dream, what the internet should be
Not sure what your point is, do you not like how I worded that? I’m saying it’s a bad thing, do you think it’s a good thing, or missed the second half of the sentence? Not using AI to write comments is something I take pretty seriously, so please don’t cast doubt on its humanity just because what I write is long and verbose and not in complete agreement with you, I am a real person who has put effort into laying out my thoughts and this hurts my feelings.
If your point is further restrictions to children’s access to social media being broadly unpopular, unfortunately that isn’t accurate. This is why I’m taking a contrarian position here despite believing free computing should take priority; if people want this, and it’s going to happen in some form, maybe a compromise that doesn’t involve the worst losses of privacy and control is the best available path forward. If not, I want to hear arguments why not, or alternative plans, because the ones I can think of aren’t totally convincing.
I actually did data labeling work on amazon mturk for a while, it does kind of suck, the main saving grace was I could largely do it on my own schedule but I assume these people don’t really get that benefit.
being sent to offshore contractors for data labeling, a widely-used preprocessing step in training new AI models in which human contractors are asked to review and annotate footage.
From another article I read about this, seems like it involves a lot of drawing precise boxes around people and objects, stuff like that. Terminators gotta learn their sex moves from somewhere.
I have a Garmin gps for my car, it does have wifi and bluetooth but my hope is that it’s enough that I have these disabled in the settings and never used them to connect to anything.
I thought it was weird that ENS was not mentioned, found this interesting argument in the talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Alternative_DNS_root#ENS_removal, apparently it has been censored. Edit: I guess that was a pretty long time ago though
What about GPS devices that are not phones
I close bathroom doors, mainly to keep in the habit of doing it
