It doesn’t matter whether we believe her or not, it just matters that Trump has the sliver of doubt for his supporters to latch onto to ignore reality.

Then if Democrats try to say, “why aren’t you upset that there are no Republicans or Trump being accused, this is obviously a coverup”, MAGAs can pivot to, “you’re just trying to stop your guys from being prosecuted. See, you’re the *real pedophile supporters, not us!”

Ars Technica is not asserting that themselves, that’s the argument that Strike3 is making. Strike3 and other porn companies attack non-professional porn on these grounds as well, to try to kill their competition.

Maxwell’s lawyer stated that the DoJ asked Maxwell about close to 100 people, prior to the administration trying to turn this the other way around and frame it as Maxwell “giving up” people on her own.

Convicted Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell “was asked maybe about 100 different people” during a meeting with a top Department of Justice official in Florida on Friday, her lawyer said.

“She literally answered every question. She didn’t say, You know what? Don’t ask me that. I’m not going to talk about this person,” Markus said about his client, who is serving a 20-year prison term for crimes related to procuring and grooming girls for Epstein to sexually abuse.

“She was asked maybe about 100 different people. She answered questions about everybody, and she didn’t hold anything back,” he said.

Remember this for when the “list”, if they ever release one, has no prominent Republicans or conservative donors on it. They will present this as “The Epstein List”, but it’s just their own list (and it’s compromised anyways given the potential pardon being kept in play).

Sony doesn’t own Konami or MGS at all, as far as I know?

co-op, base-building, and mech combat

ah yes, just like Horizon Zero Dawn.

Or is it just the ‘humans fighting giant machines’ part that they’re likening to Shadow of the Colossus Metal Gear Solid Horizon Zero Dawn?

Jokes aside, the standard of “could confuse consumers into mistaking one for another” was meant to prevent things like essentially typo-squatting in product names, e.g. going and making Orao cookies, instead of Oreo (which is why Oreo was able to copy Hydrox).

It wasn’t meant to just be about aping a concept or art style. No one would actually mistake “Light of Motiram” for “Horizon: Zero Dawn”.

You mean, like this very app?

I wonder how much this is short-term investors being very dominant in the market, and executive compensation being tied to short-term performance, colliding?

If minimum holding times for a stock position were implemented (e.g. can’t sell for 2 years), or if executives were compensated based on e.g. 10 year performance of the company, I feel like this cycle of acquisitions and layoffs and trend/hype-humping would die quickly.

If you mean some Israelis want the world to collectively view them as a genocidal state of racists and murderers (or at least racist and murderer apologists), I mean, sure, perhaps some do, but I can’t fathom why they would, and I don’t think that’s particularly common given how widespread their propaganda campaigns go to push the narrative that they’re the good guys.

There’s a local bookstore lady that will literally not let us leave without telling us everything happening in town for the next month. Find your gossipy bookstore person. :)

Israel knows exactly what it’s doing to Palestinians, but it clearly has no idea what it’s doing to itself.

As much as I agree with you, I think the purpose of the ‘women and children’ stats is more to avoid malicious attempts to derail the conversation by distracting with questions of “how many of them were Hamas tho”, “how do you know they weren’t Hamas”, etc.

LLMs, sure.

Neural Networks in general though are massively useful, and NNs being trained for e.g. medical diagnostics or scientific research are miniscule in their energy footprints compared to LLMs, can be incredibly accurate (even beyond people), and open up tons of avenues for research that the extant budgets just couldn’t support.

People need to understand the difference between LLMs and Neural Networks.

LLM training is a massive energy hog that gives us nothing but the illusion of coherent human-made text.

Non-LLM Neural Networks are much broader in use, almost always massively less energy-intensive to train, and often incredibly accurate when finely-tuned for specific purposes.

LLMs can die in a fire, and nothing would be lost. NNs in general are incredibly useful and honestly a massive source of potential for bettering healthcare (and science research in general) globally.

The reaction by skeevy guys to this is literally proving the need for an app that does this (obviously, whisper networks exist for a reason, but they don’t scale to internet dating).

Sadly, the presence of selfies and IDs being stored rather than immediately discarded upon verification, is also why we can’t really ever trust tech companies to make this app.

My use case was basically managing a bunch of (headless) remote servers, so it worked really well.

My setup auto-ran tmux with a tiling config to give me 4 panes to work with when I logged in, with the top-right automatically launching my music player, and the bottom-right running cmatrix until I needed it to do something else. :)

I hadn’t heard of surfraw, that looks cool!

My wanna-be-mr-robot friend and I were using lynx, elinks, and then browsh for a long time when we were experimenting with terminal-only linux laptop setups. Lynx and elinks are good for true text-only web browsing, but browsh is better if you want a more traditional web browser, but just inside a terminal window. It is actually running firefox headless in the background to render the pages, so it’s much more resource-heavy than others.

There’s no real advantage to a terminal browser if you aren’t being forced to use one, in which case “having a browser” is the advantage, it’s just aesthetics (especially if you enjoy customizing your terminal themes, since you can make your lynx match it).

Yep, the issue for me isn’t the technical aspect, it’s more convincing any friends to actually do this too. I’ve set up a bunch of different services over the years for my friends and family, and no one uses them for very long. My dad actually asked me to set up an rPi jellyfin server inside his home network rather than use the one I host remotely. :/

I think they mean it’s similar to a one-way hash in that you can verify that the interference ‘fingerprint’ of someone when you see that pattern again, but you can’t identify a person from only the interference data, so for instance you could potentially have a database of targets to locate, and share only their wifi fingerprints with various other agencies to monitor for, without actually sharing their name, image, etc.

Obviously surveillance as a general concept is inimical to privacy, irrespective of how it’s done.

76 years is a good long life, and he had some incredible accomplishments!

Edit: Now I’m hearing a bunch of cases where he killed animals (and not just the bat)? WTF bro
