You should always turn off / reboot your phone if you expect it to be potentially be taken

Simply being locked after being unlocked once leaves the phone in a less secure state than if it was fully off or just rebooted and never unlocked.

If you need your phone to record the interaction, then you might only get as far as locking it, but always strive to shut it down.

That only works if your initials are D.T.

Tusk is safe at least.

The same principal has been tried with crypto mining to reduce waste / cost.

Capture the heat and use it elsewhere like to heat the building.

Downside for heating buildings though is unless you’re doing it somewhere where it’s always cold, you eventually still end up with heat you can’t use, and at that scale, there’s better heating choices. I heard the city of vancouver was looking into heating a swimming pool with it, at least that would have a constant use.

Then you still end up with the issue of the mining cards only being good for 2-3 years before the tech improves and they aren’t mining efficiently anymore, which then just leads to more e-waste.

But imagine if the cards themselves had a really long useful life or were super cheap and easily recyclable, we could put miners in things like space / baseboard heaters which were already going to be doing resistive heating and then gain something from that instead of just heat.

Imagine doing something like having a GPU based baseboard heater that folds proteins whenever it’s on, where it doesn’t become completely obsolete in a couple years. If the chips were cheap enough it’d be way better than just doing heat.

Edit: Taking the idea further… imagine if governments mandated reuse of the heat generated by data centers instead of piping it outside? You want to build a data center here? Build a public pool and heat the building / water with your excess heat. Then that commercial zone also gets a fitness center for anyone nearby.

Hopefully there are people still working on non-llm type general AI, because i don’t think we’re ever going to get there with LLMs. The architecture just seems wrong to ever get there, and even Altman has said they probably can’t solve hallucinations. We can probably go very far down this road and get them pretty good, but it’s the wrong road if you want a real AI.

It looks like your talking about CSAM! Please send details for your private event to 123 MPs house address. Should you fail to do so you will be arrested on CSAM charges.

Well that’s awesome. I had heard Germany did a ZKP solution, I didn’t realize it was EU law.

I don’t really expect anywhere but the EU to do that though. ZKP are really the only way to do it if it’s going to be done.

but this doesn’t necessarily mean that the identity verification company is reporting to the government which people have initiated age verification, or for which websites.

Oh sweet summer child.

Unless it’s designed to not be capable of doing it (its not), they are doing it and it’s the intended plan.

I didn’t know, had to look it up, 17th biggest.

I’d prefer my measurements in giraffes

If you didn’t actually finish high castle, it just keeps getting good weirder.

That would never happen to me, there’s no problem, I don’t know what you’re going on about.

People don’t even understand the value of an immutable digital object and how it never existed before bitcoin either. They can’t wrap their head around that having some inherent value even if small, and how that can transform the world, even if not bitcoin specifically

I saw an article that said it was to its lowest price since June 2022, got a chuckle out of that one.

Maybe the AGI is already in control and is the puppet ensuring it gets what it needs to thrive before it kills us all.

The stars are more important when you’re a developer. It indicates interest in the project, and when it’s a library you might want to use that translates into how well maintained it might be and what level of official and unofficial support you might get from it.

Other key things to look at are how often are they doing releases and committing changes, how long bugs are left open, if pull requests sit there forever without being merged in etc.

I don’t do it often, but pasta with a cream of mushroom or clam chowder soup.

Maybe not too weird, but that’s probably as weird as it gets.

A properly fitted n95 mask is very effective at preventing infection.

Simply masking around groups though isn’t enough as it can linger in the air. The amount of effort to actually wear the mask everywhere you’d need to is pretty high and one slip up is all it takes. It comes down to trade offs at that point of how often you wear it.

So apologize if you feel you need to and use the cash you put behind your phone in case of emergency if need be.

That’s their problem not yours.

Not sure why someone would downvote your opinion and relevant story there…

It still seems relevant enough though for the time being. Getting the stink eye isn’t a no, and maybe you’ll have to be a little picky on where.

Still better than not having it at all though.

Could throw a couple quarters in there just in case as well
