This is the answer.

The more insidious bit?

Most manufacturers don’t actually know what’s in the masking fragrance, because they buy it from a third party who has no legal requirement to list the ingredients.

So even “unscented” products have this stuff in them that’s a mixture of perfume and preservative, the contents of which are a trade secret. There’s very few soap, deodorant and aftershave suppliers who actually know all the chemical contents of their products, and even fewer who are willing to share that information with the customer.

Depends… do you consider friend requests weird?

I use TP Link C100 cameras in local network mode and a Reolink doorbell in a similar manner. Standard RTSP feeds and an internal mini web server, plus plenty of privacy controls.

Both of these products are pretty cheap considering their configurability — they do both provide the option to do the whole cloud subscription thing, but work fine for me without it. I have Home Assistant on the back end to manage live streams, but find I usually just read data off the internal SD card instead.

They used existing archives; the pages were actually archived earlier. But they could only incorporate the pages that had actually been archived, which was mostly major services (Geocities, ProHosting, Lycos, etc) and public institutions.

The Wayback Machine started saving web pages in 1996. I’ve got Geocities pages I created at the time where that’s the only way I can access them now.

The frustrating thing for me is that Wayback only saved web pages; all the Gopher pages and FTP pages just vanished.

Now I’m imagining someone making 💩: their default boot drive.

One word:

Tribalism.

It’s shaming to see people and institutions you were proud of and bragged about being the best, then devolve into something the rest of the world laughs at.

By retirement?

I’d expect majority shares in any company I worked that much for, AND a 7-figure salary.

And retirement would be in 5 years.

Revive a debate? Really? In that case, I’m reviving the debate for redistributing Murthy’s net wealth to all citizens as UBI.

There’s nothing saying that you can’t have a global decentralized network, but the Internet Protocol is pretty central to the network we call the Internet.

I mean, has anyone ever seen them at the same time?

Regular cars have been increasingly slaved to the on-board computer since the 1990s though.

You can only buy a few modern cars that don’t send constant telemetry back to the manufacturer, for example — just like televisions.

Using thorn, of course, isn’t going to disrupt an LLM. It’s just another probability in the model. And a very small one at that.

Personally, I þink it’s cute.

There’s still some retraining needed to go from CS to Affinity Suite, but I did it around 5 years ago after 25 years on Adobe and would never go back. And now Affinity 3 is effectively free for basic use. Of course, this is probably the beginning of the end for it as Canva attempts not-a-subscription services on the Affinity platform (making it freemium), but I expect my Affinity 2 suite will still work for years to come.

It’s why I started treating computers as commodities — I rarely upgrade anymore; just wait the 5 years and by an entirely new system.

Pumping the classrooms full of mostly nitrogen gas….

Give them a choice between Arabic and Chinese :D

Or, make it all about you, but only with that person.

“When that happened to ME…”

“That reminds me of the time <totally unrelated thing in your life>….”

“I have a friend who’s an expert in that and HE said….”

[edit] actually, what I do with those people is ask probing questions, things they couldn’t possibly know the answer to. As a last resort, I insert something that I know someone else in the group is interested in, and invite them into the conversation, exiting at the same time or shortly after.

Also, holding a plate or glass and then realizing you have to go refill it and making yourself scarce works.

The instructions suggest turning off features in two apps I don’t use.

Does this mean people only using webmail aren’t having their messages used for training, or just that they can’t opt out?

[edit] malwarebytes has updated their report— NONE of those settings is related to training data. This whole story was based on a misunderstanding of the settings.

Yes, but that seems like over engineering a solved problem?

And it would be rather tricky. The button would be simple; even a pair of Bluetooth headphones could do it. The tricky bit would be in figuring out how long the ad is and pressing the 10 second skip key the correct number of times and then pressing the skip ad button if required.

Easier (and more secure) just to use an ad blocker.
