I could’ve said a lot of things. Kiwiflare is the only one I’m aware of (and can remember name of) that provides a visible proof of work occurring in the browser, regardless of reputation scoring (which I don’t think they use). Although, I suppose by definition, anyone using that site is of poor character…

If you can think of another example, please be helpful and provide it, thanks.

Proof of work captchas are widely deployed, especially on more niche sites. Kiwiflare is one (used for a harassment forum)

By that logic regulators should lower fines if the action wasn’t profitable

No? You don’t need to adjust the floor, only the ceiling.

The goal is to prevent businesses from pricing fines into their margins.

It’s practical in the sense that it lets a researcher find additional silicon bugs, although most game consoles now use merchant archs anyways

Woaw! You could use a space cadet keyboard with this!!1!

I’d gone here as a young child in school, and then went as part of a team building afternoon. Massive Deja Vu in front of all of my coworkers

I didn’t say any of that either, all I said was for ai, one type of task is easier than another

I said nothing about a human’s capabilities, which are most certainly different than an AI’s

This is the second time you’ve said a bunch of stuff I didn’t say, and then tried to argue with me over it.

I didn’t say it wasn’t :)

All i said is that one type of task is easier than another

Wow that sure sounds smart!

The problem, of course, is that generating a one time solution to a problem is a much easier problem space than a many-input task with human product concerns

Do you think terrorists are really going to name their Bluetooth speaker "bomb"? Do you think this behaviour has any meaningful true positives?

You know how they ask you if you have any contraband or if you’re a terrorist or whatever?

You’d be surprised at how many people get busted because they answer truthfully

Currency conversions is a fantastically more complicated task than most people realize. Also, performing transforms.

I also live in my mom's basement and write currency libraries.

that answers to the user rather than to you. You cannot out-shout it, and there is no appeal.

"now here's a list of how to get around that!"

A lot of vintage restorers don't like him and people like him because he goes Wow! Look at This! and then suddenly a bunch of middle aged men with beards have that exact thing on their shelf. And those of us doing preservation and restoration suddenly are priced out of the hobby we've been in for decades.

Also, his technical "work" is not great. In fact, it's really bad. Even his successful fixes show a lack of attention to detail.

It's worth noting that he started his career as a computer scrapper.

If a machine can do my job then I can work on something more interesting

Oh my god, you don't get it.

The more interesting thing? Someone else is already automating doing that exact interesting thing you are doing now.

All the way down.

On the flip side, people think AI is magic: too much magic.

Even with large advances in reasoning and actionability, it still makes insane mistakes and it's wildly prone to prompt attacks. That is a fundamental flaw in the technology.

Even an AGI will lack the millennia of self-preservation evolution that will cause it to do crazy shit. So much of what humans do is governed by a desire to be alive and to be liked.

So, I'm not particularly worried about these changes happening rapid fire. I'm more concerned about the ladder pulling effect and misinformation.

This doesn't make sense

It doesn’t make sense if you think that water incursion has the same solution space as sinking land

It doesn’t make sense if you think New Orleans is the only city with this problem

So of course, it doesn’t make sense, if you’re unaligned from reality.

I wonder why CNN have decided to highlight oceans rising and not mention land sinking anywhere in the entire article? Is it possible they have an agenda?

Because water incursion is a much more difficult thing to deal with, in terms of infrastructure and prevention.

Also, let me know when the rest of coastal land has the same sinking as N.O.

I didn’t copy paste it.

If the author bothered to write it, then I can be bothered to read it.

If you can’t be bothered to write it, I can’t be bothered to read it.

for no technical reason whatsoever

Bold of you to state that without anything to back up your claim.

Maybe it’s true, maybe it isn’t, but you shouldn’t state it as fact unless you have information backing it up

I have a $140 Lenovo education market laptop I got from their site, new. It doesn’t have a built in Ethernet port but I taped an L shaped usb dongle to the back.

I use it as a terminal mostly.

So I feel like if this costs more than $400, it’s DOA

If it’s not cheap, then what differentiates it from a $150 Linux laptop and $30 dongle

Yeah man you missed the point. Gold is not good as an investment vehicle.

As a daily currency, it also has sharp downsides, but at least it’s not all bad.

It’s turing complete so you could compile almost any language to regex. You might have to build a vm for some languages, also in regex. The point is, it’s regex all the way down.

To be fair, the companies that install these often choose locations where large amounts of people are exiting or encountering the billboard at the intended angle.

The trick also works much better if it's a surprise (your brain doesn't have time to overanalyze) and in a position that is at a sharp angle.

So, exiting a train station, for example.

The animators and designers also perform a lot of tricks (such as parallax tricks and cinematic framing) to really sell it. For example https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-YKfFEL1vjg

I don’t know about android, but iOS has some pretty interesting architecture to prevent and sandbox that kind of attack

They put a lot of deliberate work to enable this feature in a way that is hard to exploit

And it really sounds like Google is not mentioning that stance

ironically, some of the controls in gcfd have a good probability of detecting a human versus a robot!

neither 1 nor 2 can prove you're a human. sorry
