The cartridge is refillable

They also jam at every possible opportunity, the transfer belt stretches, the wheels and gears wear out, any stray toner will create smudges all down the page, and they weigh a tonne.

I think it was a different couple from Reaper Man who were part of the club that Windle Poons joined. The girl was Mrs Cosmopolitan’s daughter if I remember. And the man was only a man three nights a month.

None of what is considered ‘AI’ is actually AI, it’s just a rebrand of machine learning tech that has been around for a few years now (and is genuinely useful in certain circumstances). It’s all ‘AI’, only the generative AI is worth getting mad about.

Yes CCTV in public is not inherently evil, where it is obvious and not hidden. What I was talking about though was the right of the public to photograph and film in public spaces. Without that right there would be no street photography, no citizen journalism exposing police abuse of power, no youtubers making videos about strange and interesting things in public, no footage of people committing crimes in public, no videos of cats in Istanbul. This (and more) is what would be lost if we ban cameras from public places.

When authorities abuse their power the only protection is evidence and public backlash. The best evidence is video evidence. That’s why the police wearing body worn cameras is a good thing, it means the public can hold them to account if they misbehave.

There is a big difference between passive CCTV (recordings can be accessed if needed) and active CCTV (continually scanned by AI combined with facial recognition). I do think that unless there is serious pushback against facial recognition it will be increasingly implemented, despite the risks, however your worries about the police scanning your facial expression and sending plain clothes officers after you are completely unfounded and a little bit unhinged.

I think knowledge and consent need to be distinguished, there are lots of people who are filmed in public that wouldn’t consent to it, bike thieves for instance. I don’t think that banning filming or photography in public is a sensible idea.

Its there to clarify that the journalist wasn’t adding their own opinion to the article, which they are not allowed to do. The word would have to be a quote from someone interviewed in the article or some other official description.

From the article:

Taiwan’s Vice-President Hsiao Bi-khim congratulated Honnold

I don’t think it was illegal.

The problem isn’t the recording, this was in a public place where there is no expectation of privacy, the problem is covert recording.

Infrared leds should be able to overexpose the cameras unless they have IR filters in them.

Do you use voice chats in the same way that Discord allows you to? Can you hop in to an empty voice channel without having to initiate an end to end call?

That wouldnt help here, the problem is people are leaving the bikes in the middle of pavements and driveways creating an obstacle.

or 5/8’s of an inch

Not quite, he doesn’t demean himself by ‘buying’ anything, he just built a place where other people can buy stuff for a dollar and sell it for two, and Jeff takes a cut.

The mosquito is the gun in that analogy, the disease is the bullet. Bullets are completely safe until fired from a gun, diseases are completely safe until you are exposed to them.

You’re not being forced to use their Santa tracker, it’s a US agency having fun with a US tradition.

Auto hide the taskbar, burn your wallpaper instead. Oled burn is really is much less of an issue these days thanks to better panels and pixel shifting tech.

Then explain Denmark

Local ML translation was pretty cool

Similar concepts have been developed before, Microsoft and Southampton University were working on glass cubes with 3D laser etchings in the centre around 2015-16
