Sunlight definitely played a key role. Can’t see your target without sunlight.

They also can’t attack assets inside Russia without using Russian airspace. Russian airspace is equally complicit.

Was this on Darknet Diaries? I must have missed that ep. Sounds interesting.

The times doesn’t pay you royalties for your book sales, and it doesn’t cost you anything. They also detect if someone is messing with the system and display a dagger symbol if you are found to inflate your numbers.

The crime isn’t in publishing AI music. The crime was that he setup fake listeners streaming his songs so he could get royalties and inflate popularity. Initially he published his own songs, but to scale up and avoid detection he started creating music at scale - That’s where AI Comes in.

Smith’s scheme, which prosecutors say ran for seven years, involved creating thousands of fake streaming accounts using purchased email addresses. He developed software to play his AI-generated music on repeat from various computers, mimicking individual listeners from different locations. In an industry where success is measured by digital listens, Smith’s fabricated catalog reportedly managed to rack up billions of streams.

I’m also worried that this is why gallery apps would require GPS location just for viewing photos (and their Metadata). Once gallery app has the permission, it can track your location in real time. It’s like this should be a separate permission rather than bundled together.

Drivers love their cars so much they will make traffic jams to spend more time in them.

Yep. Takes a good spin, too, iirc

My Wahl has both, the sequential digits and size in mm.

Pdf documentation? Ewww…

Knives and car keys are accessible. I don’t know about porn AI tools, i haven’t seen any myself. The AI tools i did see have guard rails that make improper use impossible.

We (adults) created a world with knives, guns, automobiles. But if any of these were used by a child for manslaughter would you still blame collective adults? No, parents are held responsible for protecting their children and controlling their access to dangerous tools.

The program needs to store multiple temporary files (one per virus definition update, or scan results or whatever purpose).

It looks like they simply picked sqlite as a format because the data has a structured format and that way they leverage databases robustness, easiness to read and query the data.

The comment appears to be from 2006. Sqlite mightve had some limitations then that necessitated creating a new (temporary) database file as a subset of larger database for performance reasons or to allow multiple processes to read/write them and then consolidate data back into the single database.

If this were true we would still be riding horses.

Yaml is more human readable/editable, and it’s a superset of json!

If you’re planning to get the 3rd gen x1 yoga, don’t. I had to disable thunderbolt ports in BIOS to get it to sleep correctly. Otherwise touch screen would not work after wake. And stylus doesn’t work correctly with Wayland. It stops working after few seconds of use.

I use ThinkPad X1 yoga with Fedora 40 (Gnome)

1. Enable fractional scaling and install Display scale switcher gnome extension - makes it easier to increase scaling when in tablet mode for easier touch input.
2. logging in on a touchscreen can be a pain, in particular entering the password with on-screen keyboard. Special characters and numbers are not shown by default. On windows you have the option to use pin instead with a numeric keyboard. If you have a fingerprint reader compatible with linux that might work for login (mine doesn’t).
3. Linux is very terminal-oriented, but Gnome terminal is unusable on a tochscreen. never mind typing commands - try scrolling long outputs - you can’t scroll with touchscreen, it will just start selecting text (i dont remember how this works in Windows)
4. Google chrome supports gestures, so you can swipe left/right on the page to navigate back/forward. This does not with Firefox. Chrome also has a more touchscreen-friendly UI you can enable in chrome://flags/#top-chrome-touch-ui (Touch UI layout) although I haven’t noticed a significant difference.

• while you’re messing with google flags you may want to change Preferred Ozone platform to Wayland - this fixed blurry scaling for me

One annoying thing though is you can’t scroll terminal on a touchscreen, it’ll just start selecting text. Maybe there’s a non default terminal with touch support.

To be fair, there were a lot fewer people then, so they didn’t have to compete for resources as much, and you could get a nice cave for dirt cheap

Yeah, like at night it falls down to 0
