You can get a very good idea of what works by just looking for AMD GPU cloud compute.

If it was usable and cheaper everyone would be offering it. As far as I can see, it’s still experimental and only the smaller players, e.g. IBM and Oracle are pushing it.

See if Tesla does well that proves musk is a genius and should be paid more. If it does badly it proves he was unmotivated and should be paid more.

Worse, it seems to be Tony Blair.

Id cards were one of Blair’s most unpopular policies, and all the AI first stuff seems to be coming straight from the Tony Blair institute.

That’s funny, because there’s also emoji associated with Trump.

🤏🍊🍆

You can look up what Adobe are doing in this space.

Long-term it’s going to be something like every secure device comes with its own inbuilt unit for cryptographically signing the raw files. These signatures can then be matched against manufacturers databases of approved signatures.

This doesn’t guarantee that nothing has been tampered with, but it does provide a link back to the original device allowing you to inspect it.

There are huge privacy concerns as well, anything that’s used to indicate authenticity can be used to track.

Depends.

You can argue that it’s basically art/political speech. You’ve done it to draw attention to flaws in the approach and to highlight how ineffectual the current system is, and that if you actually wanted to do make fake IDs you’d take a much less high-profile approach. As such, there’s no actual criminal intent required.

Don’t know if a judge would buy it though.

Ok, but one of the most important use cases is non-local access.

If I’m at home I can just go to the door.

Go on, drop a rocket on Zuck’s Bond villain hideout.

Let’s see what happens.

Wow, I wonder if that’s the same billionaire Bill Ackerman who’s hedge fund owns forty percent of the New York property firm Seaport Entertainment Group?

How many millions do you think a rent freeze would cost him personally?

Commercial versions of these systems exist in the UK.

The Gdpr makes these things harder to do, but not automatically illegal.

Surely you have noticed that there is a lot of criticism of the GDPR and EU tech regulation.

Yeah, and some of it is even true.

You know open-source doesn’t mean publicly available. It means the person, or in this case the US government, that brought the software should have free access to the source code to edit and distribute it as they like.

So yes, the military should use something functional equivalent to open source to prevent vender lock in and to allow for external audits. They probably shouldn’t give it to Russia or make it freely available online though.

It’s actually worse than you’re making it sound.

Supplements are not just less regulated than drugs, they’re less regulated than food.

If LLMs just copied stack overflow they’d respond to every question with “Closed as duplicate. Question already answered.”

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

Just to remind everyone that this is always what the supreme court does.

They pick the most fascist outcome, and then search for any legal argument that will give them the outcome they want.

Ubuntu is deployed all over the place for data science.

I’m fairly sure this is because data scientists got used to running it on their personal machines and can’t be bothered to learn another distro.

The real trick is the fact that both of these do damage, and you can’t afford to ignore either.

Signaling to the police that the executive branch has your back and will support you when you kill poor black men is going to get people straight up murdered.

You’re in a car. There’s probably a charging port there. Sucks if you don’t have a phone, but it sucked before when you didn’t have change.

Parking has always been a privilege not a right, and if you’re not prepared you’re going to get a ticket.

I get that it’s annoying but if my phone broke and I suddenly had to pay for parking with coins, I don’t know what I’d do either. Everything is cashless now, where would I get coins from?

Yeah but parking has always been bad.

You had to carry change. Meters were always out of order or would just eat your change without issuing a ticket, and the people checking never gave a shit and would give you a fine anyway.

My only complaint is the app, everyone should offer a website or an app, but if you’re going to park there a few times an app does make sense.

Because they’re fucking stupid.

I can pick up a phone in either hand and type on it using only that hand, and I can play games using both hands at once. If I’m using a bracer, it means I can’t do anything else with either hand or use my off hand to interact with it.

The only problem a bracer solves is not having pockets, but even then you still need to wear a bracer.
