That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.
The irony.
This is how you know they are a bunch of malicious bullshitters.
But why does the inetol instance not give any results for “android new tab” (this wasn’t what I as looking for, but I truncated the query for testing)?
This is even though the results page states safe search if off and en-US is auto detected as the language?
I am looking to get off regular google, but these issues are not giving me confidence about Searx.
I tried two instances search.inetol.net and priv.au and I got no results for basic web search.
But northboot.xyz worked.
Am I missing something? How do I pick a given instance?
I was also curious about this (it’s rather surprising news). This seems like tankie misinformation.
The only somewhat relevant source was this article in SCMP from Jan 17th where a Shanghai party official called from partial lifting of internet restrictions in some areas.
That being said, it doesn’t look like this went over well:
It is not clear when the post was put online but it was removed on Friday morning.
It’s like we are living in some sort of satirical, absurdist play or novel about a dystopian future.
While I tend to avoid conspiracy theory type thinking, the nature of modern social makes it very easy to run astroturfing/botting campaigns. It’s reasonable to be suspicious.
I get it. I just didn’t know that they are already using “beyond AGI” in their grifting copytext.
Nevertheless, like the funding-hungry CEO he is, Altman quickly turned the thread around to OpenAI promising jam tomorrow, with the execution of the firm’s roadmap, amazing next-gen AI models, and “bringing you all AGI and beyond.”
AGI and beyond?
Something is got to give. You can’t spend ~$200 billion annually on capex and get a mere $2-3 billion return on this investment.
I understand that they are searching for a radical breakthrough “that will change everything”, but there is also reasons to be skeptical about this (e.g. documents revealing that Microsoft and OpenAI defined AGI as something that can get them $100 billion in annual revenue as opposed to some specific capabilities).
I really hope this is the beginning of a massive correction on AI hype.
I am from Ukraine, where we have a very large uptake of digital national IDs and even government service mobile applications (municipal, health, military etc.). These service were relatively popular when launched, but there was a massive increase in uptake after the full scale invasion.
One of the main strengths of the digital national ID/mobile government services is that they are so convenient. A bureaucratic process (that was actually very simple) could take 4-5 hours waiting in line in say 2012, now it can be done almost immediately. The government constantly adds different useful modules and systems. For example, during COVID up to date vaccination status was present in the app and you could use it while travelling (at least to the EU, no clue about US). I like the Kyiv municipal app as well. It’s relatively well designed and offers a bunch of services. Broad uptake also means that there are network effects; with companies and government services integrating these services (e.g. in situations where you need to confirm your identity).
I would also argue the notion of privacy isn’t as linear and simple as might seem at first glance. There are legitimate situations where the government needs access to data to find traitors and collaborators. This saves lives as it weakens the russians’ ability to target their air strikes. That being said, we already had a national ID system (legacy of russian occupation under the USSR) before, so you only benefit from digitization.
Shameless self promotion:
We of course focus on hardware and do include tech-adjacent business/public policy news, but we do cover ESP8266, PCI-E 6 development and that recently released ~$100 AMD CPU.
The modular capabilities, I/O ports.
The one thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t support SteamOS and the list of issues with Bazzite does not inspire confidence.
Isn’t the daringfireball blog a de facto front for Apple PR?
!hardware@lemmy.world (self-promotion, I am a mod there) covers semiconductor related topics pretty well.
That being said, some articles do include business and tech news.
Raspberry Pi is IMO an excellent tool for learning Linux (particularly CLI, you honestly don’t need a UI for the computer itself) in a low risk environment while also allowing you to build some really useful services (NAS, Pi-Hole, media-server).
I am honestly shocked that someone at FB would post critiques about their board members in their internal forums.
Surely they should be smart enough to understand that:
That being said, if the posters are young, then it is somewhat understandable.
I had firmware updates for a 1080 Philips TV from ~2010.
You could do it via USB.
Not only that, but they tend to adopt the new tech on their terms and reject the mainstream adoption approach.
You really start to feel old when the cyberpunk novels of the 80s and 90s start to become reality (not in a literal sense, but elements are definitely coming true). It was 40 years since Neuromancer was released last year.
I’ve been searching for an alternative search engine. Found Searx to be subpar.
Was thinking about Kagi, but if they work with the russians, that’s an immediate no go for me.
