thanks!

How do I report this typo to the eff? they have no contact page.

Here's the trick when driving on highways to clear up traffic jams: try to move at a flat, constant speed, such that by the time you would reach the stopped car in front of you it has already started moving again.

To the people behind you, traffic appears to be moving at a constant speed. The wave stops propagating backward and the jam clears up.

perhaps they are planning for the eventuality that long-lifespan unused accounts become a commodity, an easy way to avoid age verification.

This is going to wind up with remote attestation being implemented into web browsers to prevent this exact thing (and conveniently for google, this will finally end adblock)

if nothing works, try cryonics. Maybe AI-2040 is right and we'll be able to revive you in a few years.

No, nobody can be held liable for the extinction of humanity, for there is nobody left to pay up. If your objection is that you think AIs won't cause human extinction, you should say that instead, as that would be where you disagree with the authors.

I think I'd be 2% less likely to visit japan without the melodies. I love those things.

Why so few in Canada compared to the U.S?

Please advertise that you offer it on f-droid as well! I only see Play store and App store links. But it's available right here: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.westnordost.streetcomplet...

gl·iNet also runs openWRT. You can even ssh into these routers.

If fable 5 can't do code... what are people using it for?

be that as it may, when e.g. TicketMaster asks me if I want to "use a passkey," they are potentially referring to something with remote attestation capabilities.

Okay let me withdraw slightly. What I mean is: if I choose of my own free will to not be able to access the bits (e.g. via a cryptoprocessor) then sure, I can still "own" it. And that's the case for certificate authorities. But when vendors force me (with remote attestation) to not be able to access the bits, then I see that as me not having control => me not owning the key.

There are also non-transferrable passkeys which can't be copied between two secure devices, so it'd be hard to get some passkeys onto your yubikey in the first place.

Furthermore, I personally feel that if you can't actually access the bits, you don't truly "own" it.

You don't consider WebAuthn to be passkeys? Why not?

It'd be nice to just have a command prefix e.g.

/local fix my typo

that's not true. Passkeys have an optional remote attestation capability, which second parties can use to completely enforce aspects of your keys, such as them being non-transferrable or not usable without a screen touch etc.

I'm skeptical that they have working CEC. The steam deck, for example, does not. It also doesn't work reliably with many TVs. I'll believe it when I see it.

there are more irregular verbs than just kuru and suru. iku and aru are also irregular, for example.

Irregulars notwithstanding, the conjugation pattern is actually completely lossless if you just remember the imperative form (e.g. 着ろ kiro, 切れ kire) instead of the infinitive, which is lossy (e.g. 着る kiru, 切る kiru). Then there's no need to have to remember, "oh... is this -iru verb group 1 or group 2?"

What I dislike about this method is that it seems to be focussed on A=440 Hz, which is arbitrary. I assume that if the learner drifts later in life by under a semitone, then things will seem like they're between keys.

Very exciting! And I like the fediverse integration too.

This sounds a bit AI-generated (i.e. bland). I would just remove that line entirely from the UI.

this is a non-parallel construction[1], "my" sounds weird here to an english speaker. These can all be read as adjuncts if you change it to "mine".

my government is implementing a ZKP protocol to solve this problem. So is brazil. (bifold open wallet.)

device-side restrictions; improve the UX for parental restrictions and make them on-by-default for children.

When you buy a device, if you can't present ID (or the device is for a child), the vendor gives it to you in "child mode." Child mode has a whitelist/blacklist of all apps and websites that it can use. The list is set by the vendor, but modified by the federal government, state/provincial government, municipal government, school district, and parent/guardian (in that order, each overriding the previous.)

Perhaps in addition, devices in "child mode" always attach "do not show me adult content" to the HTTP headers they send to websites.

That's rather meaningless. The scientists in the Manhattan project initially had less information than what is now available on the internet.

it really should be .gc.ca for us to be sure.

in a three-party system, there's provably no optimal voting system. Most people who would normally vote NDP voted strategically in the last election to prevent a conservative majority. While it's true in the literal sense that we got what we voted for -- I mean, that's tautological; whoever wins an election is "voted" for -- it's not really the whole picture.

Regardless of whether LLMs are conscious or not, they have no known mechanism for experiencing pain and suffering, and there's no reason to believe they have one (such as a limbic system). So why worry about it?

maybe the bacteria are conscious. How sure are we that they're not?

The only strong argument I have against it is the anthropic principle -- there are billions of times more bacteria than humans, so it's overwhelmingly unlikely that I'd be a human rather than a bacteria.

Not a very good argument of course.

why is that obviously false? To a functionalist, a pen and paper and a set of rules is sufficient for consciousness.
