So, does this permit the resurrection of the original Rogue?

50 years later, we're still told that a useful implementation is at least a decade away. Still, I'm hoping that one of these will be "it".

Exactly. Of the two, Apple or Zuckerberg's Meta/Facebook, it's Zuckerberg who has the unsustainable business model. Apple has been sustaining its business since well before Zuckerberg was born, never mind Facebook.

I've seen plenty of sites that exist solely to re-host Wikipedia, too.

So, given archive.org's charter, they should at some point account for ~50% of the internet just from the Wayback machine, and growing well beyond that as it archives old versions of no longer active pages (considering that many of its snapshots aren't that much different than earlier ones). Add to that its quasi-library function that most likely includes large overlaps with things like Youtube videos, and this hardly seems surprising. I'm actually surprised that the duplication isn't a lot more than 60%.

And I certainly wouldn't call this wasteful.

SMS Project's site is loaded with statements like this:

Emphasis theirs.

And if they're really using SMS as a 2FA challenge, then they're certainly not concerned with their users' safety or security. For that, they should be using a real OTP like Authy or a real HW key.

Replace "Intel" with "US car manufacturers" over many decades and the same argument applies. Yet they got the money anyway. At least Ford chose not to take it the last time.

I'll be interested to see how much they're still interested in those "few bucks" after they've fully understood the terms and conditions.

So proposals like this are yet another reason that I continue to rely on a real email client on my computer, with its own spam filter that is not subject to quasi-political tactics like this. I still use IMAP, but my local rules draw down my email to local folders and the client applies its own spam filter on top of my service provider's. Yes, that means that I lose one main benefit of IMAP (mail access from any of my devices), but I secure several others that are more important to me.

Maybe I missed it here, but with all of the complaints about the quality of subtitling, the complaints for dubbing have focused on things like presentation (less skilled voice actors, distractions from timing differences, etc.), but not so much the quality of the dubbing script. Are they (subtitles, dubbing scripts) typically equally bad translations, or does a dubbing script become an alternative source for subtitles? What are the differences between organizations that translate for subtitle versus organizations that translate for dubbing? Are these the same translation services? If not, is there any synergy there to improve the result?

WSJ's numerous sports reporter Jayson Gay got this one right: "My Sports Column Puts People to Sleep / A discussion of a beloved sports ritual: dozing off in the middle of the action"

The best recent article I've read on this general subject (if not this specific AI instance) is by Douglas Hofstadter. In case that's not accessible to everyone, here's a quote; one of many questions that he and a colleague asked OpenAI's GPT-3:

The list of Q&As goes on, with equally absurd questions and highly specific, equally absurd answers.

The point being that it's all too easy to get the wrong impression of an AI's true power when it's used solely for the purpose it's designed, and in realms where it's useful. It takes far more effort and care to make a judgment of sentience, and it's all too easy to be ELIZA'd. And that's nothing new.

What continues to be disturbing is not that the general press is finally picking up on some of this, but that people directly in the field continue to fall for it.

Yes, I had the same issue. Read one way, "mooted" could refer to the IP addresses that are not being used. Or, it could mean that the proposal to free them has been "mooted". At first, I thought the latter, and then didn't find anything in the summary that confirmed that interpretation. So I assumed the former. It shouldn't have been that hard.

Unless very large numbers of folks do this, one has a chance of causing a mini Streisand effect.

After the tiny teaser, "without the cloud", there's not a single mention of how privacy might improve in that whole quote.
