The Studio is a sealed box, I don't see how it's remotely like the pro. Anything from additional drives to graphics cards have to be plugged into its external TB slots.

(Reposted: original comment disappeared?) Mozilla is rapidly becoming the Democratic Party of the open web. Completely oblivious to its reputation or the real world, always capitulating to the pro-corporate pro-control side of the Internet represented by Chrome's Republicans, and completely unaware that its unpopularity is because it will not fight for openness, open source, and threats to the open web like the AI LLM industry.

They're just awful.

I hope, ultimately, enough moment gets behind one of the forks, probably LibreWolf because it's genuinely not corporate, for control of Mozilla to be taken away from them.

Yeah, I would assume most "smart TVs" require an account for the "smart" part, which is only an issue if you make usage of the smart part mandatory.

Roku TVs need a Roku account, for example.

This is an article which raises alarm bells over something quite normal and, given "smart" just means "Can run apps from the cloud, so will need some kind of cloud account", actually quite reasonable. It's only unreasonable if your HDMI ports are locked if you don't sign in.

> It's literally in the OP. It's not the AI that is at fault, it's the person who's job it was to sanity check to output. That person didn't do it.

No, it's both of their faults.

The AI generated a wrong answer. That means it's at fault.

Nobody checked the answer. That means the person responsible for checking was at fault.

If the AI generates wrong answers, they don't suddenly become right by virtue of someone else not checking it.

Yes, using a bot to delete posts will guarantee you look like a bot. That's the problem.

There's that too. And that adds more problems.

The recommended way to delete all your posts (recommended by privacy advocates, not Reddit) is to edit them to be garbage, and then delete them after that.

The only tools that can do that for you automatically with your likely thousands of posts will almost certainly flag every bot detection algorithm that's written properly.

No, I'm talking about Google's reCAPTCHA. It's blocked me at least twice. The only way to find out is to change over to the audio reCAPTCHA where it'll tell you you're blocked, otherwise they (sadistically, because nobody other than humans would actually suffer here, so this is more evidence Googlers are shit people) lock you in a loop of visual reCAPTCHAs with no feedback beyond "Try again".

LLMs have made CAPTCHA basically useless. Not to mention the fact I have been flagged as a bot by reCAPTCHA regularly (I guess "Uses Linux and Chromium or Palemoon" makes me a bot even though I did fucking select all the boxes with bicycles, and then traffic lights, and then the boxes that covered a motorcycle, and...")

At this point it's a tool with false positives that real bots can bypass anyway.

This is the nightmare everyone has been warning about, but the powers that be are too gullible (in the case of AI) and too interested in power for its own sake (politicians) to prevent. Do we really want mass unemployment and business failures because of a giant con job? Even now there are gullible Slashdotters itching to tell me Claude helped them with something therefore the inevitable crash when businesses that got rid of half their employees leading to them have terrible products, poor customer service, and no understanding or control over their own business decisions any more, and no customers anyway because of mass unemployment, is somehow "worth it".

Seems more likely to work than picking photos with bicycles.

There's no "Delete all posts" button on Reddit, and even deleting your account doesn't delete your posts.

Which means the only way to delete the posts is to go through each one by one.

And what are the chances that a repetitive task like that is going to be seen as "bot like" behavior? 100%?
 

The Rust crates.io (which is what we're talking about) situation is bad. It's in some ways worse than NPM or Composer because in both of the latter cases you can see that the project uses NPM or Composer when you set it up, while Rust's crates.io thing is built-in functionality, and it's not really possible to find out what the dependencies are without grepping the source code.

Java, likewise, has no dependency resolver built into it, and in general the approach is better:

- Java programs are memory safe by default. That is, there's no "unsafe" keyword which would give a library access to data it hasn't been given.
- Java's built-in library is relatively rich, and critically things like CRCs and encryption are provided with the language, making it unnecessary to import code from a repo whose integrity boils down to "You can trust us, Bro".

Rust requires you use crates.io for everything, which is an XYUtils waiting to happen.

Rust is in general a really good language, but good lord, it shocks me that modern language creators still think the NPM model of external library management is a good idea or that you should encourage people to install your software using curl piped to sh.

Consenting adults making each other happy is not "moral decay".

Does Canada have a situation where people of a specific skin colour were effectively locked out of standard hospitals before the 1970s, and thus a sizable proportion of people do not have easy access to birth certificates and by extension ways to get IDs?

Regardess, while it's entirely possible it's changed in the last 25 years, when I lived in Britain I didn't have to show ID. Why would you? If two people turned up to vote claiming to be the same person, it'd become obvious as soon as the second person showed up. Chances of it being discovered there were bogus votes would be 100%, and the chances of you being caught illegally voting were 50%. Why is ID even necessary to do something when it clearly isn't going to do anything to prevent fraud, and will likely exclude swathes of people from exercising their civil rights?

I hate talking for others, but I'm pretty sure CT would have prioritized the "Digital price tags", which has all kinds of technical and legal implications like the ability to do surge pricing and change prices between the shopper getting something and checking it out at the checkouts, over "Fraud tech whose fraud has become obvious still awful."

But you guys do you, and keep hyping this shit.
