I’m happy with my Samsung S90C (oled). I didn’t find any non-smart-tv options that I liked after my 18 year old Samsung TV died, and after using a PC monitor and PC speakers for a few weeks while researching options, I settled on this one, which was on my shortlist and on sale at a nearby bricks’n’mortar store.

Even in a well lit room, I’m very happy with it. I also use the apps to stream content, so one less box is needed. Let’s hope it lasts 18+ years too.

English aint Lojban, if you know what I mean.

One of these years my children will discover the PS3 hidden unused in the entertainment center since they were born, and there’ll be 2mil+1. Muhaha.

Skynet sounds friendly. It needs a friendly looking logo.

PFS matters where a party hasn’t already been compromised. Not so hard.

Read up on perfect forward secrecy and TLS.

And yes, a jurisdiction could compel them to break their security, depending on laws and ability to threaten.

IF TLS is used AND configured optimally on both ends, THEN the in transit message contents should be very secure, in that transient session keys were used.

I would be interested to know how often those two preconditions hold true though.

Of course, this is only one small link in the chain. There aint no magic bullet.

When you have cloud providers growing faster than the region’s grid capacity, something has to give … throttle growth there, or plan for mega growth? I guess it helps that nuclear is green again. 😁

I can now train a generative voice on my own voice and have it sing along to my own generative music.

A few more tweaks to make it consistently off key and it will be near indistinguishable! I will be able to torture not just my children, but my great-grandchildren, far into the future.

What an age.

If you want fast GPS coordinates, then you give more location hints. Local privacy regulations apply.

It’s fine that it came from a private company, but the contracts with the Government must be solid, and the national security obligations 100% clear.

Judge: “lmao no, new bill is now half” for reasons that included the use of ChatGPT.

Meanwhile the prompt: Given X man-hours at $rate plus expenses of $expenses, and a padding multiplier of 4, generate a legal cost report in the format expected by the court. /s

Playing EFT is like being in an abusive relationship with Marie Kondo. If that idea rocks her boat, …

When covid had everyone working from home and avoiding social contact, I started my gaming journey with Firewatch and The Long Dark, and Factorio. All are excellent. Alien Isolation and The Forest came later.

It’s Freedom® these days. It took a little while for the application to be processed.

They will also be terminating another 5-10% of their EU userbase this month for not accepting their latest price hikes. These will mostly be the low-volume users who were too lazy to cancel.

Wait for the special offers before signing up for a plan again, folks. And explore the alternatives in the mean time… you might just discover that you don’t need them.

I only eat vegans. Would that count?

There is no point waiting for a response…the threat has been neutralized. Now repeat after me: There is no AGI.

I’d say that the board members also have to have some personal liability (criminal of course, but also limited financial liability and a temporary or permanent ban on serving on any board or executive (legally responsible) position, depending on circumstances. Incentives must be aligned, and not something that they can justify as a cost of doing business.

Dmoz was great.
