not to mention normal folks not used to wfh, who were used to spending half their day chatting between cubes or getting coffee. i worked in a very strange office, the coding team of a regional grocery store that maintained our in-house COBOL applications. most of those folks had worked there for 20-30+ years, so it was a huge departure from anything they had ever known.
gangs are a symptom just like drug abuse, which they are also entwined with. striking out at gangs without addressing the issues motivating people to join them is just punishing poverty on both ends. the state has let you down, you feel the need to take survival into your own hands, and then are punished for that.
by no means am i excusing the violence that gang perpetuate, but i am unconvinced that enough people simply want to live the gangster lifestyle that gangs can sustain themselves outside situations of extreme poverty.
yeah they shot down a friggin weather balloon with a JET, but nothing to worry about with these? they definitely know what they are and they're fine with it. field testing new drone based surveillance systems?
Todoist handles this pretty well now with their new calendar view and updated Google Calendar integration. I believe it also handles other calendar services.
Early touch screens (capacitive?) were also not great. I remember iPhone's being pretty decent, although I don't think I had one until the 3, but my memory is a bit fuzzy from that far back! They could be frustrating to use, and often the usable area for interactivity was smaller than the actual screen, with issues detecting touch at the edges.
Children's safety online has been an excuse for excessive surveillance for a long time. Not so long ago Apple was going to scan every file on your device for this reason.
My last employer ran custom COBOL applications on HP-UX. Last I knew they were working on a migration but they had custom rolled their entire system so it is going to take a while to migrate completely.
I used to use uMatrix before it ceased development, but eventually switched over to only uBlock advanced mode. Do you find it still works fine? What cases do you keep uMatrix around for?
I mean my Yubikey is really easy to use, on computers and with my phone. Any broad change like this is going to require an adoption phase but I think its do-able.
Yep, I think this is a step in the right direction. I don't know enough about the specifics of Worldcoin to really agree/disagree with its principals and I know I've heard some people have problems with it but I think SOMETHING like this is really the only way forward.
Yeah and so I don't know exactly how I'd want to see this solved but I think something like an open source reputation databases could help. Folks could subscribe to different keystores and they could rank identities based on spamminess or whatever. I know some people would probably balk at this as an internet credit score but as long as we have open standards for these systems, we could model it on something like the fediverse where you can subscribe to communities you align with. I don't think you'd need to validate your IRL identity but you could develop reputation associated with your key.
The way to make AI content safe is the same way to improve general network security for everyone: cryptographically signed content standards. We should be able to sign our tweets, blog posts, emails, and most network access. This would help identify and block regular bots along with AI powered automatons. Trusted orgs can maintain databases people can subscribe to for trust networks, or you can manage your own. Your key(s) can be used to sign into services directly.
this seems really expensive compared to a local nas, at least over the lifetime of your service. is there a reason you chose to go this route instead of local storage for media?
FIRST was one of my favorite parts of high school and taught me skills and solidified friendships that would really define my life. would def recommend.
mullvad offers a socks proxy. i generally use the wireguard app, and only allow traffic to the socks proxy through the vpn, and configure firefox to use that socks proxy.
if you use their app it depends on your operating system how their whitelisting works, but you can pick apps you don't want to have routed through their vpn (but by default with their app all system traffic will be routed through the vpn except what you explicitly deny).
Eh I use a Hetzner server from their Virginia datacenter as a VPN but the DJI site still shows up in German for me. I don't see that problem anywhere else tbh.
awesome. i do specifically request concise summaries so the responses tend to be quite short. your idea for requesting additional detail is an interesting one though. thanks!
This is my first OpenAI based project. It takes a YouTube video URL and will output a summary based on the captions (if available). Would love any feedback.
