I don't control most of the discord communities I'm in. Some have been going a long time, and every platform migration sheds and shreds members. The 'mild effort' to move an old community to a new platform more often than not killed the community

Several companies have resisted these court orders successfully. Google can afford a lawyer to go over the order with a fine tooth comb if they wanted to - it's just easier to roll over and let the government rub their belly.

Trump has also repeatedly used government apparatus to illegally retaliate against companies and individuals for not going hos way, with no consequence, so it is hard to entirely blame corporations for behaving that way

Don't use products from large US tech companies?

Apple has a slightly better track record than Google of fighting this stuff, but ultimately if you're using a product from a US tech company then it's likely ICE can get their grubby little mitts on everything that company knows about you

But that 8% is almost as many prisoners as comparable countries have, total. The lobbying and sometimes outright corruption around private prisons doesn't care if it also feeds people into non-private prisons as long as it also feeds the private prison beast

I expect to see the USA flying down the ranks this year... seems their whole government and judiciary is for sale, and not even expensive

Because AI is really good at generating code that looks good on its own, on both first and second glance. It's only when you notice the cumulative effects of layers if such PRs that the cracks really show.

Humans are pretty terrible at reliable high quality choice review. The only thing worse is all the other things we've tried.

Giving it its own id doesn't store all the useful metadata this tool preserves, like the model and prompt that generated the code

Nice story, the iPhone hate seems a bit left-field though

2nd amendment is literally there to allow states a lady resort to defend themselves against federal overreach.

The first step would be making X liable for contact their AI posted, both financially for the victims and criminally where a crime exists (which probably isn't in this case under current law, but would be if the target is underage). You'd be amazing how fast it would be fixed if Musk was in jail over it (he's clearly a flight risk)

Sadly Trump has most companies too scared to stand up to him

There's a painful amount of hyperbole and even lies in the README, for fairly mediocre code using very out of date style. Doesn't even manage to install on a mac out of the box.

If it had said "A quick tool to mirror the ice wiki for days retention purposes" then it would have been accurate and honest. If it had used a generic format rather than a database, and included a torrent link asking for more seeders, it would have been valuable. Instead it's painful

It says 'Open ports: (None)' for all devices on my network, despite there being open ports on many of them (MacOS Tahoe 26.2 / installed via go)

"If you've enough users that banning you would affect our bottom like negatively..."

Meshcore is the obvious quick answer to alternatives to flood routing

We need right-to-repair laws so that this patent can't be enforced

There's tons of utter garbage commercial software. There's commercial software with intentionally built in backdoors and information stealing. Most of it gets zero accountability, nor do the sites that distribute it, nor the ad networks that find viewers for it.

Just like there's basically no reputational harm anymore for leaking all your users details for most leaks

That's simply not true. That's a very modern interpretation of the second amendment.

The /NRA/ lobbied for some of the first gun control laws in SanFran, because the Black Panthers were open carrying. Even in the days of the 'wild west' there were plenty of towns and cities with enforced gun control ordinances.

Many, many people think the tactics they're trained in are exactly the problem - a few hours at most training in deescalation, little to no training in recognising or dealing with the mentally unwell, hundreds of hours of training in putting a bullet inn somebody

How do you get it ready for the prime-time without using it and finding the problems? This is exactly the sort of experiment that finds problems - low stakes, fun to tell stories about, and gives engineers a whole lot of reproducible bugs that they can work on.

The people who lose their prod database to AI bugs, or the lawyers getting sanctioned for relying on OpenAI to write court documents? There's also good - their stories serve as warnings to other people about the risks.

Most people I know under 30 are either running games or chrome. Word-processing etc (the odd tune they need it) is all in the browser

The Germans have been the strongest opposition to this law.

Google's "all software must be signed by an author who has provided us with a copy of their government ID" suddenly seems a lot more sinister

There's a Bluetooth API for the G1 that's been pretty fully reverse engineered. It wouldn't be at all difficult to wrap an http wrapper around it if somebody hasn't already. I suspect you could even vibe code it in a weekend.

Updated themselves

That's my orders (2 watches) cancelled. I don't see Core Devices doing anything good unless it appears to be affecting their bottom line, so I'm voting with my wallet.

If things get sorted, I can order again

Assuming access to a reliable cooker, safe storage, time to food prep and enough education in cooking to be able to cook. Some people on assistance fail all of those boxes, many fail at least one

The equally obvious answer is because Trump doesn't like that word, and the producer knew that opening a crack for Trump to get his undersized mitts into is a bad idea

If your report for the month is "I saved a terabyte of ram usage across our cluster estate!" and I as a manager do some quick maths and say great, that's our income from 2 median customers. We lost 8 customers because we didn't laugh feature foo in time, which is what you were supposed to be working on, so your contribution for the month is a massive loss to the company...

Does that frame things differently? There's are times in your product lifecycle where you doing want your developers looking at things like this, and a time when you do

Should that be true for a monopoly service though? I don't believe it's true for water, electricity companies. It's not tried for health insurance companies under the ACA. Are we teaching the point where technology should be treated similarly?
