  • a surprisingly disappointing article from ars, i expect better from them.

    the author appears to be confusing “relay attacks” with “cloning” and doesn’t really explain the flow of the attach that well.

    really this just sounds like a complicated MitM attack, using the victim’s phone as the “middle” component between the victim’s physical card and the attacker’s rooted phone.

    the whole “cloning the UID attack” at the end of the article is irrelevant, NFC payment cards don’t work like that.

  • Is anyone surprised?

  • if sanders was in first and biden fifth, how were the ones that dropped out losing?

    and how many of those that dropped out ended up with some sort of position of power under biden?

    you’re also willfully ignoring the fact that the dnc purposefully kept in person voting going during the height of the pandemic

    Adam Smith himself has admitted to this shit: https://jacobin.com/2024/07/joe-biden-bernie-sanders-democrats-2020-primary-trump

  • that’s not at all what is being said here. the DNC had to pull all sorts of undemocratic shenanigans to forcefully prop up biden back in 2020 and we’re still paying the price of having these uninspiring losers as our only options

  • if this is your first time doing a big trip together, honestly, forget about it being prefect. it won’t be, and that’s ok. trips don’t need to be perfect to be meaningful, in fact, i’ve found the opposite to be true. the more wild and unexpected the adventure is, the more memorable and important it becomes to me.

    so I’d say it’s best to keep an idea of things you’d like to see or do, but also be flexible and willing to adapt. traveling with someone that forces everyone to stick to a rigid itinerary is never fun and is a good way to ruin the trip. all it takes is one lost bag or one missed train to throw all your careful planning out the window. better to roll with the punches than self destruct when that happens.

  • you’re so close, just why exactly do you think people are using it for these things it’s not meant for?

    because every company, every CEO, every VP, is pushing every sector of their companies to adopt AI no matter what.

    most actual people understand the limitations you list, but it’s the capitalists at the table that are making AI show up where it’s not wanted

  • just a guess, but in order for an LLM to generate or draw anything it needs source material in the form of training data. For copyrighted characters this would mean OpenAI would be willingly feeding their LLM copyrighted images which would likely open them up to legal action.

  • computer science teaches you the theories of computation which absolute starts with mechanical computers.

    if one didn’t study Turing’s tape machine in their compsci program then they should demand their money back.

  • open source software getting backdoored by nefarious committers is not an indictment on closed source software in any way. this was discovered by a microsoft employee due to its effect on cpu usage and its introduction of faults in valgrind, neither of which required the source to discover.

    the only thing this proves is that you should never fully trust any external dependencies.

  • “every situation you're involved in is 10X more escalated than it needs to be because a gun is involved at all”

    absolutely delusional, please explain how a vulnerable individual concealed carrying is escalating anything.

  • jfc what an absolute hellhole of a police state you’ve dreamt up. so many of your hairbrained ideas amount to “cops should have unlimited access to your private life”. how exactly do you think this would play out given the US and it’s systemic racism and classism?

  • yeah silly me for supporting artists with my money but also downloading drm-free copies of things so I can actually exercise a semblance of ownership. but sure, keelhaul me so you can keep your sense of smug superiority.

  • AI is a tool that is fundamentally based on the concept of theft and plagiarism. The LLM training data comes from artists and creators that did not consent to their work being plagiarized by a hallucinating machine.
