This isn’t isolated to tech and is how bigotry persists

It’s a sauna on a boat. She’s out in the middle of nowhere with some dude she barely knows. You know, she looks around and what does she see? Nothin’ but open ocean.

Through interviews and videos I’ve seen, they spent a lot of time and effort to not have mechanics like a HUD arrow that guided you to the next objective, but rather had those in the landscape of the world simplifying the design, and creating a sense of curiosity. They also took care to put interesting side quests and hidden items along the way so that players felt like they discovered it on their own.

The boss and shrines being able to be completed out of order was a big departure from resent Zelda games proceeding it which were very linear, and they went back to the original Zelda for inspiration. This was controversial at the time, and not something new outside the series, but really forced the design of the open world to be inviting in some areas and terrifying in others.

Wasn’t this the plot of South Park episode where Kyle’s dad was exposed to be a shitposter on an alt account. Life imitates art.

He’s one of the Wilson brothers, the most famous of which was in Cast Away

My assumption is the bias is unintentional, at least partially, and just the priorities of recommendations is weighed heavily to encourage engagement above all else, and stoking fear and anger drives engagement. Also the distribution of content could be a factor. On the right, it seems like everyone is trying to get in on the grift of advertising elk meat or trump coin to exploit their viewers, meanwhile high quality journalism and news is under funded. For every Climate Town or A More Perfect Union, there’s tens or hundreds of right wing fearmongering videos.

I think the lack of author attribution on this article is a hit of AI. Clicking on other articles, they do list the author and don’t have a fake interview tone Question and Answer tone to them.

What is up with the writing style of this article?? Seems like AI Slop, but it’s worse than usual. The Verge article has more details and isn’t written poorly. Check it out and not The Guardian.

Assuming the laptop you’re looking to control has HDMI out and USB input for Keyboard and mouse, I think you’re right with the KVM switch idea, one that supports USB and HDMI input, and can switch between them between two devices. What I would do is get something which can record HDMI on your main PC. Some gamer devices have HDMI passthrough, which you’d plug into the KVM switch, but you could also use an HDMI splitter to have a feed from the laptop going into the KVM switch and to the recorder on your main computer. On your main computer, you could use OBS Studio to record the video from the laptop.

This is anecdotical but I moved into an apartment with a 30 year old ionizing smoke detector, and the failure was it was too sensitive, I assume because there were less electrons being emitted from the radioactive element, any faint smoke caused it to go off. Eventually it got into a state where it would always be in an alert state, and was beeping 100% of the time, which was when the landlord finally replaced it.

My assumption with the 10 year replacement recommendation for Americium based smoke detectors is to replace it before it becomes too sensitive and annoying, because they were worried some people would remove the battery and just live without an active smoke detector.

Also the documentary 13th which is directed by the same director, Ava DuVernay.

If I were to use an LLM, it would not be to actually upload the PDF and generate the excel document, you’re guaranteed to have made up data if you ask it to do this. What I would do is ask an LLM to write a python script which uses OCR or some other programmatic way to extract the data from the PDF and put it into a CSV to be imported by Excel.

If the PDF has some sort of data aggregation, like a column for a sum of the data in a row, then do not include that in the CSV output, and have excel do the calculation based on the data the script imported. Then you just have to manually check that the values of that column match the PDF to know if there is any wrong data. Obviously if multiple fields are adjusted by bad OCR but negate each other, the sum column would look accurate while the bad data persists, so some more spot checking or additional aggregation would be needed to ensure confidence with the numbers.

Yes, unless you’re in the UK. Before Advanced data protection was available, Apple was still advertising iMessage as E2EE

Probably yes. General rule of thumb is if you don’t control the keys, it doesn’t matter if it’s E2EE, your communications could be intercepted. Famously iMessage is E2EE but your keys are uploaded to iCloud under standard data protection. They say “Your iCloud data is encrypted, the encryption keys are secured in Apple data centers so we can help you with data recovery, and only certain data is end-to-end encrypted.” ^[1]. The encryption key is included in iCloud backups which is provided to law enforcement with a subpoena. ^[2]

Even if a service claims it is E2EE, it’s still important to understand where that those encryption keys are stored, how they’re managed, and if security researchers have raised concerns about the E2EE claim.

This is the Edge of Forrest Park, it’s a park twice the size of Central Park. This road cuts through the path for kids to get to the soccer field from the playground

Any school shooting is tragic, but incessant back to back coverage outside of the immediate affected area is not very helpful to anyone, and has been shown ^[1] to cause copy cats ^[2]. The impact to the community shouldn’t be glossed over, but especially for this particular incident, there seems to be a lot of focus on the identity of the shooter (and why it has been a topic of discussion), and that’s what especially results in copy cats. If the goal is to minimize mass shootings, not sensationalizing them is the key.

They made it easier to blackhole DNS lookups: *.microsoft is way easier than enumerating azure.com, msdn.com , live.net, etc

Brian May, the guitarist for Queen has a PhD degree in astrophysics. He might not be able to help fix the issue in the spaceship, but I assume would be able to explain why the issue is happening and I hope could also do the guitar solo to brighton rock to distract from the problem.

If you take a look at the map, Freedom Drive is not even that useful. At best it is a minor shortcut if you’re coming from Myrtle Ave and need to go south, but don’t want to take Woodhaven Blvd. i guess?
