By the time election season rolls around virtually everyone is going to have been exposed to some ai fakes. It's not at all unusual for a high-ranking individual in the company to be suspended pending an investigation. Investigation was conducted and he was put back in place. Meanwhile this story is making the rounds and hundreds of thousands of people are going to see it.

All in all it'll be fine. The sort of person who is foolish enough to vote based on a deep fake is going to get a hell of a lot more advertising thrown at them which is going to be far more effective than the occasional social media deep fake. And frankly those people only make up about 20% of the voting electorate anyway.

Deep fakes are going to quickly force people to start critically thinking for the first time in a long time maybe forever. Long-term it will force people to make competent decisions instead of just trusting their gut.

I use bitwarden for my passwords, at least - admittedly it is their cloud-based service, but I regularly dump a copy to an encrypted sparse disk image I keep locally (something you can't really do with Apple's Keychain).

It was painful getting 15 years worth of passwords moved out of Apple's Keychain, but ultimately worth it. The bonus is not only platform independence, but also a significantly superior tool.

I am a bit confused by the reporting here, though - it would be annoying, but given Apple doesn't do cloud-only storage (to the best of my knowledge), it's not like people wouldn't still have access to the local copies of their stuff during the outage.

The proposition authorized $10 billion in state bonds. The expectation was the feds would more or less match that.

The proposition authorized $9.95 billion in bonds, of which $9 billion would go to the HSR project. For every dollar the feds contributed, the state would contribute a dollar from that $9 billion, and once that $9 billion was used up, the project would need to find other sources to fund the remaining, including more federal, state, and/or private funding.

Wall Street got used to Intel having literally no competition for any kind of workstation CPU. AMD was being propped up by Microsoft and frankly Intel too for the longest time. It wasn't until the Ryzens that they started to catch up.

Landing the contracts for the PlayStation and Xbox really helped on the gaming front because they put an underpowered CPU in both forcing developers to finally switch to multicore programming in order to get the kind of performance they needed out of the consoles. Until then the CPU and the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 were so much more powerful than the gpus that everything was just single threaded and maybe occasionally they'd use a core to decompress audio

these days until has serious competition in their main space. And it's been like that for years. Neither company has been able to compete with the mobile processor manufacturers on power efficiency.

The only problem here is that we have to worry about Wall Street plundering and gutting Intel for short-term gains similar to what's happening to Tesla right now. If that happens they'll fall massively behind because they won't have the capital to keep up with AMD and we'll be back to one CPU manufacturer

Genuine question if someone knows, is this a choice? Or is this something inherent to the architecture and structure of ARM? Its always seemed silly there's no "BIOS" for ARM or I can't buy an ARM device that just let's me, as you said, just "install" an OS. I just always assumed it was phone manufacturers and carriers being jerks but I feel as though there's no ecosystem like that yet.

I am pretty sure that's an infered, editorial claim. I doubt the actual scientists would make a more reserved "as far we know with current knowledge, or have observed"

The word billion or even years makes no appearance in the Cell publication, need access for the other one so couldn't check it.

As usual take your anger out on the media instead of the actual researchers.

Jesus I didn't even think of that but yeah, perfect example.

A man born into such fortuitous circumstances that despite all his efforts he wasn't able to lose that much money and given chance after chane after chance simply because he had the money to begin with of no doing of his own.

"Meritocracy"

I'm not going to defend eBay, but just FYI you can bypass all the hassle by using Passkeys. One touch to log in.

It was the advertising that make it clear what these apps were being pitched as.

I saw some on Twitter. They showed a guy sending a fake nude to a woman, who then begged him to delete it, saying "please, I'll do anything!" So pretty clearly a rape app, sold as being useful for blackmailing women for sexual favours.

Apple doesn't allow such apps. I'm sure the developer of "Drunk Slut Location Pro" would argue that it is merely designed to help render medical assistance to vulnerable women who made poor life choices, but they wouldn't be fooling anyone.

I'm curious what you think would make European workplaces worse? The shorter hours, the right to disconnect out of hours, your employment rights?

While it is difficult to separate workplace from everything else, unless you can point to some aspect of European employment that clearly makes it worse than the US, I don't think this argument holds much water.

Have you tried simply not agreeing to the EULAs? Hit decline and the usually disable all the smart features. If not, return the TV as instructed by the EULA and find a better brand.

It's not the manufacturing, e.g. Apple stuff is made in China but with Apple tech. It's the fact that the Western tech is inferior to the Chinese stuff.

It's not just drones either. FLIR had the market cornered for thermal cameras, but now a Chinese company offers higher resolution sensors with a better frame rate and similar accuracy, for a fraction of the cost. Chinese EV batteries are second to none. Chinese phone cameras surpassed everyone except maybe Google some years ago. In the HiFi world Chinese brands now produce some of the best gear on the market. Chinese EVs rival German luxury cars for quality.

We need to get innovating and competing again. We got complacent and slowed our R&D. Trade wars and bans are not a solution.

That's all well and good, but server CPUs are not the bulk of the market. Apple moved all of their devices over to their own ARM chips, and now it looks like Microsoft is heading the same way. Intel could keep 100% of the "server CPU" market and still have lost the vast majority of their business.

DJI is the market leader in drone tech because their tech is the best. It can't be stolen because it's better than everyone else's.

That's the real issue here. DJI is dominating the market because they have better products and are first to market with new features. Like Huawei, that is a problem for Western rivals, so they are pushing for a ban.

You must have worse tech and pay more for it, because Western companies failed to compete effectively.

Maybe your privacy settings are too low to see it, but it doesn't actually matter if you get the answers right or not. If your browser blocks fingerprinting, if you are using a VPN or even just an ISP with CGNAT, you can click the right squares over and over and it will still keep you there for a minute or two. It seems like when your IP address isn't unique and when your browser isn't letting it spy, it just puts in massive delay to slow down suspected spammers.

Ironically there is now a market for AI captcha solvers because humans are fed up of this shit.
