Airplane canopy opens mid-flight
  • It's in the description of the video, the canopy locking pin wasn't locked and she failed to notice during visual checks

  • Rule one of the road : Never trust an idle car.
  • It looks like they opened the door normally, until the motorcycle got caught on it and forced it all the way open

  • xkcd #2948: Electric vs Gas
  • Gotcha, thanks for explaining!

  • xkcd #2948: Electric vs Gas
  • Wait how is what you're proposing different from ICE hybrids?

  • xkcd #2947: Pascal's Wager Triangle
  • the religion that gets you the most stuff in the afterlife.

    I think it would be rather the opposite, should be the one that promises the worst fate in the afterlife to non-believers

  • Voyager 1 Once Again Returning Science Data From All Four Instruments
  • Except if you continue reading beyond your Quote, it goes on to explain why that actually doesn't help.

  • "Contrary to a 'horseshoe' theory, the evidence reveals increasing antisemitism moving from left to right."
  • is a pretty good indication that the author(s) are deeply racist

    Or, maybe, they're just using the most well-known instance of fascism in history as a concrete example, in order to not overcomplicate the message. Jumping to accusations of racism at the slightest suspicion is not gonna help anyone.

  • A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back
  • Companies and their legal departments do care though, and that's where the big money lies for Microsoft when it comes to Windows

  • DuckDuckGo offers “anonymous” access to AI chatbots through new service
  • Training and fine tuning happens offline for LLMs, it's not like they continuously learn by interacting with users. Sure, the company behind it might record conversations and use them to further tune the model, but it's not like these models inherently need that

  • They're not "Minifigs," they're "Lego Men." Even the female ones. I feel very strongly about this.
  • Roombas

    Teslas

    Burger Kings

    Band-Aids

    I do agree that "Legos" is wrong, but it's not because you don't pluralize brand names in this way.

  • PayPal will use your purchase information and shopping patterns to sell targeted ads
  • And it makes sense to me that a business would leverage that data in ways to benefit themselves.

    Big fat nope on that one. This is exactly what the GDPR is about. I'm giving you my data for a specific purpose, and unless I tell you otherwise, you have no fucking business using that data for anything else. Gonna be interesting to see how this one plays out in the EU.

  • When did you get hit by "the tetris effect" AKA playing a video game so much that you get the urge to do moves/actions from the video game in real life?
  • Happened with Lone Echo for me. It's a VR game where you're in a space station, and you move around in zero g by just grabbing your surroundings and pulling yourself along or pushing yourself off of them. I started reflexively attempting to do that in real life for a bit after longer sessions

  • Deleted
    X considers "cisgender" a slur, and moderates it over actual slurs
  • Isn't that the difference between a slur and an insult, that a slur is offensive in itself against a certain group of people*, while an insult depends on context?

    *Unless used by people from that group itself

  • Gemini is the new Google+
  • HTTP is not Google-controlled, you don't need to replace that in order to build something new without Google

  • California Passes Bill Requiring New Cars To Beep At You When You're Speeding
  • I agree with your first point, but the latter two:

    —GPS data that could be stored and extracted from the dealership and sold or given to the government, insurance companies, and law enforcement. —GPS data that could be sent in real time if the car has a cellular connection or hijacks the cellular connection in your phone when you connect it to the car.

    Why do you think this is more likely to happen with this new regulation, when most modern cars already have a functioning GPS module for navigation and cellular connection for software updates?

  • “CSAM generated by AI is still CSAM,” DOJ says after rare arrest
  • Yeah, it certainly still feels icky, especially since a lot of those materials in all likelihood will still have ended up in the model without the original photo subjects knowing about it or consenting. But that's at least much better than having a model straight up trained on CSAM, and at least hypothetically, there is a way to make this process entirely "clean".

  • “CSAM generated by AI is still CSAM,” DOJ says after rare arrest
  • There are legit, non-CSAM types of images that would still make these changes apparent, though. Not every picture of a naked child is CSAM. Family photos from the beach, photos in biology textbooks, even comic-style illustrated children's books will allow inferences about what real humans look like. So no, I don't think that an image generation model has to be trained on any CSAM in order to be able to produce convincing CSAM.

    Just a stupid little build I did a while back. What are the weirdest pieces you’ve used so far in your MOCs?
