The problem with most dumphone modes is that “normal” Phone and SMS (RCS makes the latter better, but your provider needs to support it, and it usually adds one more Google dependency) are useless if your social network extends past one country, and that’s not that uncommon in Europe. I would need to at least be able to include Signal for it to work for me.

You are thinking about dignity and imagining a British aristocrat drinking tea from a fine porcelain cup with the pinky held up while plotting world domination. That’s the vernacular meaning of dignity.

In the context of human rights, dignity is the natural right of every single person to be valued and respected for their own sake, and to be treated ethically.

You don’t infringe it by saying that your government is being managed by incompetent or immoral people. You infringe it when you say women belong in the kitchen and not in the office, or that black people are naturally inferior to white people, or that gay people don’t have right to love who they love, etc.

As a potential independent candidate Cuomo didn’t poll that bad if you don’t consider that:

• the 39% he got are the same as Mamdani, so it would be 50/50 at best
• as a known quantity, this 39% are probably his ceiling
• it still didn’t factor Schumer effectively endorsing Mamdani on social media

Political players are in still in flux, but, for the right wing of the Democratic Party, moving against Mamdani is getting riskier and riskier by the day. Not only would they lose the “unity” argument to mobilize the left close to the midterms, but the risk of suffering an humiliating defeat is too great.

The same way your right to wave your hands ends before they reach other people’s faces, free speech can’t include speech infringing on other people’s dignity (in the legal/philosophical sense).

Regulating speech within this frame is as bad as stopping a bar fight by dragging the instigator away.

FPTP will always lead to dysfunctional parties.

There are at least 3 “natural” parties inside of the Democratic, and at least 2 in the Republicans. At local level primaries can mitigate the issue somewhat, but a national level it will always lead to conflict.

Such brave heroes of the nation, who feel the need to intimidate a six‑year‑old leukaemia patient with a gun. /s

Absolutely evil and pathetically coward.

I’m on page 12 and I already saw a false equivalence between human learning and AI training.

Cuomo’s speech seemed to go more into the direction of sitting this one out and wait for a safer way to attempt a comeback.

He’s probably going to do some polling but unless there’s some big advantage for him in a realistic scenario, trying to run and risking losing can damage his political career beyond repair. And yes, on an ideal world it would already be dead beyond saving, but we have the world we have.

If New Yorkers manage to elect a Mayor that’s not a bootlicker it’s a sign that everything has a chance to get better.

And everyone with a group of friends can do it, because the ICEstapo doesn’t identify itself when kidnapping people.

Because neural networks aren’t known to suffer from model collapse when using their output as training data. /s

Most billionaires are mediocre sociopaths but Elon Musk takes it to the “Emperors New Clothes” levels of intellectual destitution.

You don’t even need to go at a low level. Lots of programmers forget that their applications are not running in a piece of paper in general.

My team at work once had an app running Kubernetes and it had a memory leak, so its pod would get terminated every few hours. Since there were multiple pods, this had effectively no effect on the clients.

The app in question was otherwise “done”, there were no new features needed, and we hadn’t seen another bug in years.

When we transferred the ownership of the app to another team, they insisted on finding and fixing the memory leak. They spent almost one month to find the leak and refactor the app. The practical effect was none - in fact due to the normal pod scheduling they didn’t even buy that much lifetime to each individual pod.

On paper they should care about the truth. Also on paper their KPIs usually involve conviction rates and numbers.

Don’t see any downsides with this.

Next time just shoot an movie industry exec, the sentence will be the same. /s (mandatory: don’t actually shoot anyone please)

The same legal terms might mean vastly different things in Germany and the US. This is often the case in arbitration and warranty clauses.

EFF’s lawyers don’t have the legal expertise to help a company based in Germany.

It’s exactly that, it’s plagiarising a movie or a book. ChatGPT like all LLM models doesn’t have any kind of continuity, it’s a static neural network. With the exception of the memories feature it doesn’t even a way to keep state between different chat tabs for the same user, let alone of knowing what kind of absurdities it told other users.

For all it’s sins the Catholic Church always took christian universalism to be incompatible with exclusionary nationalism.
