How do you think International Law would look at the following situation:
5 years from now, humanoid robots are really good and relatively cheap. Russia tries invade a non-NATO country. The US sends 10,000 robotic soldiers, which are technically operated locally.
Hard to overstate how enshittified and botshitted Google Maps has become. Went looking for my local locksmith on Gmaps. Maps shows 20+ fake locksmith referral scam outlets and doesn't even register the real locksmith, despite it being fully visible in Street View.
Instead, a red pin on the shop identifies it as a fake locksmith scammer. The real locksmith - which has been there SINCE 1942 (!!) and is a verified merchant - doesn't even show up.
@dko@ZachWeinersmith@SwiftOnSecurity normally I work in powershell but this is actually C#, it's just using the single-file variant of C# called csx. The code may look a little powershelly since that's my daily driver but I wanted to try to use csx for powershell-style hacking since my relationship with PowersHell could be described as tsundere.
Anyone out there standing next to a nerd. I would like you to try a tic tac toe variant and tell me if it's interesting:
Kriegspiel tic tac toe
You can’t see your opponent’s moves. But, if you try to take a space they’re already on, you lose your turn, and the space they’ve taken is revealed. Goal remains 3 in a row.
@ZachWeinersmith well, I got carried away and bashed out a command-line implementation in c#. It's currently broken since I wanted to support arbitrary board sizes and am out for dinner. Wil post later.
Turns out the whole time that #Loblaws & inheritance billionaire #GalenWeston were raking in record profits by gouging Canadians & #Poilievre was dishonestly blaming Trudeau every time he opened his mouth, his CHIEF POLICY ADVISOR #JenniByrne WAS A LOBLAWS LOBBYIST. #cdnpoli
@georgetakei okay but what about the other aliens? And the other other aliens? Why should we assume there's only one alien group? And that they're homogeneous over endless space and time?
Would every single alien ever for all time agree to never ever contact us?
Context: This is data from my mom and dad's new cold climate heat pump. While the system has been calling for heat continuously during this time, it has only needed to kick on the backup resistive heating in the deepest of cold, and even then only for a couple of hours overnight.
For those of you who speak metric, -13°F is -25°C, and their desired setpoint is 21°C
This bolt-action is lovely and I like a lot about it, but I wish it were more obvious how to remove the bleeding bolt. I can get it out and when I get the stars aligned just right it it slides right out.
But there are no real guides for it and there are eighty million comments to the tune of either "google is your friend" or giving advice to people asking about this model of rifle with advice that applies to a different model of rifle.
I haven't looked into this at all, but, from peanut gallery:
If as you said before, upgrade "MAY" to "MUST" for the tombstone (and also for a "delete denied" record) wouldn't Create make sense?
That is: on deletion the server must create a tombstone and then notify that it has been created? Then it's not transient.
I mean, this is all a workaround for the fact that the AP itself doesn't have a concept of ACKs which isn't something you should be DIYing in the DELETE command, right?
I've noticed that deletes don't seem to work the way I assumed they'd work sometimes -- like I once accidentally replied to a Lemmy thing on Mastodon and then said "oh I'll delete the toot and reply using my Lemmy account" and found the delete didn't take on Lemmy, only on Masto.
I assume a cleaner delete API like you describe would make this better.
@nixCraft generative AI will be the end of anonymity, simply because we're gonna need everything signed to confirm "yes this ties back to a real, credible human".
Blog post that looks generated? Who signed it?
Video of the president saying something odd? Who signed it?
@SuigSays there's an irony there -- the guy (@kcgreenn) who made the "this is fine" comic is actually kind of upset about how it gets used everywhere with no attributions.
So while everybody thinks about the "Steamboat Willie" part of the comic with respect to copyright, the "gunshow/this is fine" part is just as relevant.
What I don’t get is, even if your chance of getting permanently disabled from COVID is only say 1%—WHY IN THE EVER-LOVING FUCK WOULD YOU RISK THAT IF ALL IT TAKES IS WEARING A MASK SOMETIMES
@johnefrancis@thomasfuchs right? I live in a city with a lot of cliffs and waterfalls. The local emergency services have gotten very good at rope rescues for influencers who wanted that one perfect selfie and ended up at the bottom of a cliff broken and immobile.
@deborahh@stephanie I picked up some "no alcohol gin" at Winners to share with my kids because they saw me making gimlets and Collins and the like.
It did not taste like gin, it tasted like perfume.
Which, I mean, it's a random bottle at a wholesale reseller, it's gonna be a roll of the dice. But I would've thought "juniper" was a hard flavor to screw up but here we are.
The modern corporate obsession with data is beyond incorrect, it's obscene.
If I order a pizza, there's no universe where the social contract should include a follow-up email about a survey. IT'S A PIZZA. And moreover, I PAID FOR IT WITH MONEY. You are not entitled to 5 minutes of my time to fill out your fucking survey.
Any marketer or data scientist who tells you that every pizza that gets ordered should also generate a survey request email IS FULL OF SHIT and is ABUSING YOUR CUSTOMERS.
