Kevin Rose killed digg. He took what was good and ruined it.
Reddit embodied what was good about Digg and ran away with the market share.
As long as Reddit doesn't fuck with their algo, and try to pull a "Kevin Rose" (not unlike what Tik Tok just did) it will be ok.
Fuck digg, and fuck Kevin. Go back to making videos where you pretend you're "edgy" because you have a 40oz in a brown paper bag.
Kevin and his idiot people killed Digg a long time ago when they implemented their own algo to determine what users could see and corrupted it with a bunch of advertising. It should have been left alone. Nobody cares and nobody wants it back.
And a douche bag of a president who drops bombs next to schools and kills 135 kids . Should resign on the spot for that.
Look up "human shields", the practice of siting military targets among (or in or under) large collections of non-military civilians, in order to deter strikes against them or produce propaganda claims of atrocities when they're attacked anyhow.
In such situations the fault for the "collateral damage" is assigned to the side that set up the arrangement, not the side that hit it.
Nevertheless, it should be noted that the US has been trying very hard to use precision munitions and extreme military intelligence to take out military targets with as little harm to the innocents they're embedded among as possible, with impressive success. Compare the amount of collateral damage in this war to any of those conducted in the 20th century.
He's doing the bare minimum sniff test of verifying that *you* are the guy whose name is on the bookings and not someone sneaking in on someone else's name who can't even pronounce the name on your fake id.
At least in the case of people claiming to be returning citizens I've been told that they're comparing your accent to your claimed residence (or residence history).
Different words are acquired at different ages, and many are pronounced with regional variations. An expert can talk to you for a few minutes and come up with a pretty good age-map of where you lived as you grew up. An agent with a modicum of training can detect a mismatch between how you pronounce certain words and your claimed residence and pass you through quickly or keep you around and drill more deeply. (If you now live in an area with a regional accent wildly different from where you grew up it can help to answer a where-do-you-reside question with "Footown, but I grew up in Barstate".)
I presume they are doing something similar, though no doubt with lower resolution, on the world-wide level for visitors from other countries.
Crypto is useless. Do I really need to remind anyone that crypto is useless?
There is no specific need for bitcoin in the world, it's a solution looking for a problem.
If I had a bitcoin, I couldn't do anything with it other than sit on it and pray that it's worth more some day, but still, in order to derive concrete utility from it I would have to first get rid of it and convert to real money instead.
It's a very formidable waste of resources, akin to growing tulips instead of something useful.
You can't eat tulips. Well even with tulips they might be edible but you could probably grow a lot of potatoes for all the work you dedicate into cultivating a rare tulip.
Being compliant with Anthropic's guidelines.
Which can basically undermine everything else at any point in the future.

Exactly how do they envision an autocomplete gaining sentience?
It hasn't been "autocomplete" in a long time. Sure, there's a training step based on a corpus of Human language, and the autoregressive process outputs a single token at a time, but reinforcement learning trains specific behaviors beyond merely completing a sentence.
Besides, the best way to write something indistinguishable from what a Human might write is to, well, "think" like a Human.
... maybe they shouldn't be having AI do coding? Or QA?
The thing that gets me is that anybody who has any technical knowledge, upon looking at crypto's underlying technology: blockchain, can clearly see it doesn't make sense.
Blockchain isn't any less fault tolerant than existing systems, and because of its precarious "decentralized" nature, requiring random self-interested parties to see a financial reason to run nodes based on the price of the tokens, there's no guarantee whatsoever: a) the "price" of a digital abstraction that has no intrinsic value will continue to go up or say above zero, or b) there's any other reason to run the software and waste resources when it accomplishes nothing for society.
Here is a great documentary that explains it all. No self-respecting software engineer would buy into this goofy scheme.
If you want "immutability" just use cryptographic signing in traditional, relational databases.
If you want "decentralization" there are better facilities out there that aren't tied to sketchy ponzi-scheme-like digital tokens, such as IFPS.
Only second to the quality of answers... most of which being, "Why would you do THAT?"
Some people who are about to be fired train their replacement. What do we do when AI is good enough that it doesn't require intensive training and an army of support people to calm users down when it fails?
Works well for the rest of the world. Like the metric system, and everything else that is not retarded.
In Portugal we have a $10 billion datacenter being built by Microsoft where a large thermal power plant used to be... it uses sea water for cooling just like the power plant used to. Beachgoers love the warm water. Sea water is not exactly scarce and there's no shortage of shoreline in Malaysia...
My new PC boosts instantly. What are they trying to improve? With oodles of RAM and absurdly fast SSDs there is nothing slow about a computer these days.
