If it was for profit. Here it's in response to abuse by AI companies.

I guess it's because the anubis code is heavy with allocations.

GoblinSlayeron U.S. sanctions against the A/I Collective

>(1st Amendment doesn't have jurisdiction over the UK)

It's a matter of enforcement. And who would want to enforce 1st amendment?

GoblinSlayeron Black hole singularity is a surface not a point

There's indeed a problem with existence of black holes. Why would they exist? They are usually postulated into existence.

GoblinSlayeron Black hole singularity is a surface not a point

Infinite time dilation means infinite Hawking radiation that will burn everything.

GoblinSlayeron Black hole singularity is a surface not a point

> And things like naked singularities aren't proven to not exist either.

What do you mean by not exist? If you postulate the right black hole with a naked singularity, it would have a naked singularity.

> It seems obvious that better understanding what a black hole's singularity is would require quantum mechanics

If you postulate a classical black hole, it won't require quantum mechanics to understand.

GoblinSlayeron Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices

It's builtin adblocker, hehe, internet was full of shit for a while anyway. Books are the new internet.

GoblinSlayeron How Gödel's Proof Works (2020)

Paradox is a statement that can't be proved true or false; "this statement is false" is an example of Gödel statement. The argument doesn't work, because execution of a Turing machine can't be expressed as a Gödel number.

GoblinSlayeron How Gödel's Proof Works (2020)

A statement that can't be proved true or false and thus demonstrates incompleteness of logic.

GoblinSlayeron Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin

People complain about Chrome as often as about psychopaths, because it can't be fixed.

GoblinSlayeron How Gödel's Proof Works (2020)

That won't work. Gödel number encodes a paradox, but a halting execution of a TM is not a paradox, so can't be written as a Gödel number.

GoblinSlayeron Someone is running mass vulnerability scans, spoofing AI bots like ClaudeBot

Where do you think all the AI investment goes? They expand AI data centers.

GoblinSlayeron London Underground begins scanning passengers' faces

I wonder, if police wanted to search your phone, can they unlock with your fingerprint against your will?

GoblinSlayeron The UK's war on anonymity has come to America

That's not a start of the discussion, so it doesn't set the topic, but I'm not against the idea that you tried to derail it.

Two platforms? Facebook and youtube? So regulate those two.

That too. Presumably in bad families internet doesn't stand out as a problem.

The question was why they exist.

Safe browsing is filtering, and the result depends on what filter or service you use. It can be a black list or white list, it's an implementation detail invisible to the browser, it just sends a url and receives a reply whether it's ok to open. The only problem is that such filer is not provided yet, or maybe it is, I just don't know, and browsers don't implement switching to this filter.

GoblinSlayeron The UK's war on anonymity has come to America

Browsers already support safe browsing - a service that checks opened urls for fishing, so safety can be provided as a mode of such service (app store can check app url there). Also it doesn't really need to go through government, AFAIK DuckDuckGo and some DNS providers implement such feature independently.

This, it boomeranged.

They are possible, not necessary.

All people were kids and know first hand what it means to be a kid, no need for vetted authority on that.

1) venue is in meatspace, 2) age can be eyeballed, 3) they don't routinely hoard data, 4) they don't routinely leak hoarded data, 5) they aren't monopoly with billions of users routinely extorted for PII, 6) they don't routinely leak all that hoarded data, 7) they don't have bots, 8) they aren't connected to PRISM for routine surveillance, 9) they don't routinely leak all the hoarded data, 10) they don't sell hoarded data on black market, 11) they don't sell hoarded data to thousands of business partners, 12) they don't have thousands business partners that routinely hoard, leak and resell data

Maybe that's why metabase was hacked - to conceal sale of data. "It's just a hack, it happens, we fixed the hole, nothing to see here until we find the next buyer".

GDPR doesn't mandate cookie consent, and DMCA allows reverse engineering. Didn't help at all.

GoblinSlayeron CSS: The bomb inside your inbox

JavaScript is an RCE vulnerability. Browsers literally execute it as "run this malicious code in a vm, then nuke the whole thing from the orbit".
