Why can't both be wrong.

Also, I don't recall armed agents knocking on doors because you didn't like masks. So not EXACTLY the same.

The fine taste of boot leather on your lips

These days it is easier to just live in Canada if you want to critize the US government.

Those consequences do not include 1st and 4th amendment violations by the federal government.

If you want to deinstall the app, blowing up the owner's house is not he way to do it.

This was stupid, reckless, does nothing for actually improving AI safety, risks worsening that very safety, risks OpenAI letting their systems being used on more and more extreme products (because all publicity is good publicity), and in short does the exact opposite of anything that anyone could possibly have imagined going through the mind of of this dweeb.

However, it is what we've come to expect from the Nu Society that is emerging - violent extremism, senseless violence, thoughtless acts, utter stupidity.

Welcome to the "brave" new world where nobody has any brains but plenty of explosives. Any claim America might have to rationality is degraded every time something pathetic like this takes place, and the rest of the world is honestly in no better shape even if it hasn't degraded to open violence yet. I am really not happy.

It's reasonable to assume that if you erase an app on a mobile OS that the system will delete the app's data.

That ought to include any data stored in OS databases that is tagged with the app. It's not at all unreasonable to expect this. I suspect it's an oversight though Apple got weird after their standoff with the FBI over the "San Jose bomber". The GPU backdoor to read arbitrary system memory that Kaspersky found is an example.

Apple should make the change and really secure-erase the flash blocks that were being used. This can be done in the background and collected into the free block map later.

The best some people can do is trust their vendor but having a secret-source platform to trust makes it harder.

And, yes, it would not be surprising to learn Qualcomm and Samsung have similar 'features'.

I just checked my Android.

I have it set to not show sensitive info when locked.

But Signal now also has an option to show nothing, name, or name and content in a notification.

It appears to have defaulted to the least secure option.

There's that inherent tension between convenience and security and the Tyranny of the Default.

Most likely Apple won't be making any small newer iPhones since they didn't make a lot of money. :(

Hunger and greed cannot be underestimated. A car salesman will skirt and break the law if that is what it takes to get his commission.

An AI will lie to your face because it doesn't know any better. A car salesman will tell you one lie while agreeing to tell your wife a different lie.

It can hallucinate all it wants and nobody will be able to tell the difference.

The military answers to the civilian government.

Eventually you won't be able to buy RAM or GPUs, only rent them

I don't know. If you smashed two protons you would only have 6 quarks among them, and they wouldn't be spin aligned, as there are three quarks in a proton and spin alignment only works between pairs.

Unfortunately I couldn't read the article without subscribing and my particle physics knowledge is pretty similar to what's in a vacuum: mostly virtual particles if I put enough energy into it.

There is no left in America, they moved to the right.

The Dems are probably about level with Ronnie the Ray gun, possibly a fraction more to the right.

If you think the Dems moved 51% to the left, then the reality is you moved 55% to the right, and the Republicans moved even further.

Except none of that actually happened.
