World News@lemmy.world•Ukraine blows up Russian data centres and immediately and mysteriously online talk about Germany’s Far Right AfD virtually disappears.English
4·3 days agoOf what? From what source? Collected in what way? Just blindly trusting a chart with no data attached to it is exactly how we got into the misinformation age.
you could do that before. there was nothing stopping you, including the law.
the fact that the vibe coded versions barely work at all is a testament to the fact that LLMs do not mean this is any easier now. the hard part isn’t decompiling the software.

Technology@lemmy.world•ICE is reportedly using a Palantir database to compile dossiers on protestors - EngadgetEnglish
10·4 days agoYeah… that’s how protests work. They change the narrative and get people that won’t go to protests to go to city council meetings or to email or call their government officials.

cats@lemmy.world•Told my buddy the best part about staying at a hotel is getting out of the shower and not having crap stick to your feet.
10·8 days agoDon’t go to New Orleans, floors in even the nicest hotels are sticky. Even the carpet is sticky. It’s disgusting.
There is no “containment” though. Like, these companies purposefully set the bots loose on the internet. They’re not trying to contain anything. They just use that word cause it sounds like they’re doing something. Any sort of containment would defeat the entire purpose of what they’re trying to sell.

11·8 days agoYou can pay after they scan the first item. It won’t go through until they finish the transaction. So put stuff on conveyor. Wait for them to scan first item. Tap your card. Go pack up your bags while they’re scanning. When they’re done you’re done.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What drink tastes awful but somehow people still act like it's amazing?
241·9 days agoIt’s also bitter, which humans are evolved to dislike. So it literally is an acquired taste, because some people drink decaf.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What drink tastes awful but somehow people still act like it's amazing?
26·9 days agoAll beers are bitter, things humans evolved to stay away from (bitter signals poison). If you like beer, it’s because you’ve become accustomed to it, not because it’s a good flavor to humans.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Bill Gates: People saying AI will create more jobs don’t understand what’s comingEnglish
295·10 days agoClaude can one shot tasks until you get a larger system then it completely shits itself. These models are nothing more than autocomplete, and they can’t hold large systems in their heads. Anthropic literally tried to rewrite all of bun using Claude, they said they did it and yet it still hasn’t released six months later.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Meta Muse AI reportedly read Mac Messages without consent
21·13 days agoNo it doesn’t. It means you can access the messages without the app. Not when the fucking computer is off. The jump in logic here is wild.
Huh? What do those things have to do with eating anything?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something that you want but can't justify to do / buy right now ?

When I try to find somewhere to live, complete failure means homelessness.
Only if there are zero other rentals on the market, which is never the case.
When I try to find someone to rent my property, complete failure means I lose an investment property
Only if you are not a small time landlord. Big landlords can afford to lose income. Someone with 2 -5 properties cannot. That’s up to 50% of their income for the year. And not only that, a complete job loss if they lose the property, risking homelessness. It’s still a job for small landlords.
This is once again a battle against billionaires, not your local neighbors. Stop acting like specific jobs are evil. It’s the amount of money a human sucks up that is evil, not the job they do (well to an extent of course).

Technology@lemmy.world•You may notice this the next time you're at a McDonald's drive-thruEnglish
7·14 days agoIgnoring McDonald’s entirely, what chain restaurant doesn’t have meat on the menu?
Failure to enter into such an agreement has far more urgent and dire consequences for the tenant than for the landlord. So when you say:
It depends on the state. You will be able to retain housing for over six months without paying a dime before getting evicted in my state. This has implications for both tenant and landlord. Imagine trying to put off paying a mortgage for six months. Of course it’s a business for the landlord, but for small time landlords who only own a few properties it’s a much bigger deal than it is for the rental private equity companies sucking everything up.
But the unjustified jump in rent and housing prices is primarily due to widespread institutional investment in residential property. Algorithmic pricing collusion is also playing a major role in rental hikes, far exceeding any effect arising from abusive tenants.
Completely agree.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Meta Muse AI reportedly read Mac Messages without consent
31·14 days agoYour logic makes no sense. Either the partition is decrypted (you’re logged in and can access iMessages) or it’s not. If it’s not decrypted then it doesn’t matter what platform you’re on, you’re not getting access to any data on the drive. If it’s decrypted then it is how the app itself stores things.
In iMessages case it’s a SQLite db. The same is not true of 1Password for example.

Yeah I was sure it was more like 100%
