They don’t need a 3D map, and the researchers who have rendered a 3D map need a lot of specialized software and resources.
Xfinity doesn’t need that. They only need to know when people are online, what they’re looking at, and who/how many people are watching TV, and if there’s indication of pets in the house. That gives them an advertising gold mine of data.
Same in the US.
I got one once from something I know for sure I didn’t download. I always assumed it was a friend of mine staying with us that was torrenting “Boss’s Daughter Big Booty XXX” or whatever it was, but I never really wanted to ask.
Oh, no thank you. I’m good as is.
No, really.
No.
NO!
NOoooooo! Stahp it!
I recently tried using the Google Translate image translator. Totally locked up now, requiring Play Store and Google App. Still didn’t work, but is was seriously just “if you don’t give us everything now, we won’t do basic shit for you.”
Musk probably heard about “synthetic data” training, which is where you use machine learning to create thousands of things that are typical-enough to be good training data. Microsoft uses it to take documents users upload to Office365, train the ML model, and then use that ML output to train an LLM so they can technically say “no, your data wasn’t used to train an LLM.” Because it trained the thing that trained the LLM.
However, you can’t do that with LLM output and stuff like… History. WTF evidence and documents are the basis for the crap he wants to add? The hallucinations will just compound because who’s going to cross-check this other than Grok anyway?
Prepare for Grokipedia to only have one article about white genocide, then every other article links to “Did you mean White Genocide?”
Child soldiers are not Brave New World. More like shit old world.
Oh yeah, for sure.
In other news, water found to be wet, puppies cute. More at 11.
I have a 250MB in aluminum container HD from 2005ish. Still works AFAIK.
Might be fun to stress test it, but I expect the discs inside would shatter from shocks before the case ever showed signs of wear.
It’s ethical because it runs on donations and has a non-profit business model.
Meta likely spends at least $1 billion a year running WhatsApp.
Please donate to Signal if you use it.
FS?
As in “F’ing Shit”?
It’s not quite what I’m saying, but it’s a starting point. It also isn’t really a thing yet. They’re expected to be available in 2027, so with EV incentives being eliminated, the now $27,500 basic model is already 30%+ more expensive before even appearing IRL.
Yes and no. There’s a YT video of some guy fixing anything on any car. The catch is that for components for easy things are getting harder and harder to reach. I always used to change my oil myself because it takes 20 minutes and I know the filter got replaced. Harder and harder to do every car I have. So even basic maintenance I can’t do myself anymore.
Modular components could be workable in terms of you pick frame 1, 2, or 3 with batteries. Then you pick wheels/motors packs A, B, or C. Then you pick more and more options. If you own the A and C options, it’s a 45 minute swap out with a system that confirms things are plugged in right. Not every configuration would work together. Toyota uses a lot of interchangeable parts between cars. I mean do this with a whole back end or front end. So like 5 swappable zones that work in maybe 15 possible configurations per frame.
Maybe you want a battle wagon. And want to grow out of that to a pickup. Or start with compact car and expand to a compact SUV.
100%. They all look the same.
instead they will do it by making some tech execs part-time lieutenant colonels…
This is to shield them and their actions when the people their system target get called “enemy combatants.” It’s literally a tech Gestapo.
Holy shit, this is absurdly shocking. I can’t believe this isn’t bigger news. The CEO of freaking Palantir is a Lt. Col. not just for “no reason” ?
Headline should read “Websites have been tracking you by browser fingerprinting for a while. Google publicly doing it for 6 months.”

Yeah, has that gotten off the ground yet? Or is it still just investor stage pipe dream?
I just want an electric car that can do exactly this.
Modular components on an option of 3 frames. Reparable to a degree. Bare bones functionality. Physical buttons, no screens. Open source software. Upgrade not the whole car, but components as you go. Literally what video games taught us.
If I had Mark Cuban money, it’s the first thing I would do.
It’s like this is perfectly crafted to demonstrate a spurious correlation.
