My first thought reading the headline was ‘the Earth is healing,’ LOL

But the article is about these sites breaking Florida law, and they are.

No, that’s not true. You cannot break a law when the government in question has no jurisdiction over you. The sites are not breaking Florida law because they are not subject to Florida law in the first place.

Why should any website operator be held responsible for complying with every stupid law in every podunk shithole jurisdiction everywhere in the world? By this logic, every site should comply with whatever unhinged BS North Korea and Saudi Arabia insist upon, too – is that what you want?

If Florida doesn’t like these websites that are not hosted in Florida, that’s Florida’s problem, not the website operators’, and Florida can do its own damn geofencing itself.

Yeah, it was Europe’s fault for getting the US to replace its utilitarian “to promote the progress of science and the useful arts” basis for copyright with ‘droite d’arteur’ moral rights (via the Berne Convention treaty) in the first place.

On other issues like immigration or racism, they are on a MAGA-level. There is no big controversy because it is widely taken for granted that European nations are ethno-states. This is less so in the former colonial powers Britain and France. But they have their own baggage that gnaws at them from within, just like the history of racial segregation undermines the USA.

What about Spain and Portugal?

What do you mean? New Zealand is the big winner in that classification, what with Zealandia being one of the biggest masses of sunken continental crust on Earth.

The main reason my wife and I don’t have location sharing set up isn’t because of trust or lack thereof between each other, but because I don’t trust proprietary/commercial location-sharing services.

I’ve been meaning to set up a self-hosted system (mainly because it seems like Home Assistant could do some neat automations with that info), but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

That’s because Ace Hardware is franchised. It’s essentially a bunch of small businesses that use the same branding.

Maybe get a full face shield instead?

To be fair, not considering unicode support a priority is a pretty damn English-language-centric attitude.

That sounds less like clickbait and more an object lesson in the importance of copyleft to me.

I’m disappointed that Pornhub is apparently capitulating instead of blocking access entirely in protest, like they’ve done in other jurisdictions.

Yeah, this would be a stupid plan based on a defective understanding of how LLMs work even before taking the blatant ulterior motives into account.

The one thing I’d add is to say don’t run a shell script from the Internet unless you’re damn sure that (a) you trust the entity providing it, and (b) you’re downloading via https and haven’t typo’d the URL.

He had added a Jellyfin repo to his apt sources.list file for some reason, which is weird and likely not the right way to do it these days. But it might have been in the past, so it could be OP was following some obsolete procedure (or one AI-hallucinated from an obsolete procedure).

After realizing that OP was completely going about it the wrong way, the guy you replied to just looked up the correct way and relayed that to him.

The obvious conclusion is that Windows 10 is not fit for purpose in your business environment and the person in charge of IT procurement dun goofed picking it in the first place.

There is an implicit assumption here that models are being ‘trained’, perhaps because LLMs are a hot topic. By models we are usually talking about things like decision trees or regression models or Markov models that put in risk probabilities of various eventualities based on patient characteristics.

If these things were being based on traditional AI techniques instead of neural network techniques, why are they getting implemented now (when, as you say, LLMs are the hot topic) instead of a decade or so ago when that other stuff was in vogue?

I think the assumption that they’re using training data is a very good one in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

I’d like to know what specific steps are being taken to remove the bias from the training data, then. You cannot just feed the model a big spreadsheet of human decisions up to this point because the current system is itself biased; all you’ll get if you do that is a tool that’s more consistent in applying the same systemic skew.

The owner’s car:

What do you mean, “illegal?” If the phone user consents to turning it on, that makes it legal.

I hate to defend Google, but I will absolutely defend single-party consent for recording. Don’t like it? Don’t fucking call me in the first place. It absolutely grinds my gears when shitty software (including from Google) plays an obnoxious warning message when I want to record a call, even though I have the right to do so without warning.
