NYS is busy trying to cozy up to those that own the state and make it illegal for AI services to give legal opinions to non lawyers.

I specifically chose my current human lawyer because he is a sciFi geek (we've now both read the same trilogy, rife with AI/bots/betrayal) and was receptive to me using offline LLMs to better-understand myself and my case.

It is wise though that courts somehow prevent lawyers from entirely-relying-upon the output of chatbots.


Hard to imagine how a train that has no emissions itself as its catenary powered causes your water supply to be unclean.

pretty sure it's the tunneling not the train itself

Trains bring people who drink water.

If the train doesn't make stops in your prefecture, it sure doesn't bring people.

Each has their trade offs. AWS absolutely has a high premium but Hetzner has some quirks.

Recently we had several of our VMs offline because they apparently have these large volume storage pools they were upgrading and suddenly disks died in two large pools. It took them 3 days to resolve.

Hetzner has no integrated option to backup volumes and its roll your own :/ You also can't control volume distribution on their storage nodes for redundancy.


...OR if you are developing a PCB, you have the design data, and pick and place data and the gerber data.

Any combination of such gives you positions of everything within micrometers.

This is not a new problem. Testing of PCBs has been solved a billion times over and the world has had bed of nails tester and flying probe testers for 4 decades old.

We have a 8 finger flying probe machine at our facility that literally all we do is load the board in, load in the design data. It identifies points of interests, learns the fiducials and we let it do a characterization run. We then have engineering review of the resulting data and just let it fly afterwards.

None of this requires AI.

But nowadays any linear regression qualifies as AI so imma go slap a label on it.


We had that issue of someone advertising fake clones of our sites specifically to push fake malware ridden payloads. We only got it handled by bugging internal contacts at Google. It sucked and worse we had to bug them for weeks because the attacker was churning through multiple domains and probably over 100 breached Ad accounts by the time they stopped

Write an angry blog post about how big business is using their power to kill their _totally_ unique original idea that nobody could possibly copy in a hour?

Eh? They do tons in anti-bot detection. But the value in exploiting and using Google's service is extremely high so bot authors are increasingly getting creative. Google stops running Gmail and simply another service becomes a high value target.

At least Microsoft fixed their Azure abuse after 10 years of not giving a fuck. It used to be stupid fucking easy to setup a trial O365 tenant and spam the fucking internet through "onmicrosoft.com" domains. And they let that go for 10 years.


Don't worry, US states are working on making Linux illegal through age verification requirements in the OS.

Isn't linux complaint because of the systemd change?

The only thing that systemd did was add a space and api to store an attested birth date. That is what the entire meltdown was about. A CRUD API.

Everything else about complying with the wacko age verification law is up to distro builders.


[flagged]


EU is currently on its way to introduce mandatory age verification everywhere.

If I understand them correctly, the proposals are quite different. The US is effectively requiring the implementation of a third party verification service at computer set-up. The EUs approach validates an existing cryptographic identity that says you are over a certain age, without exposing your identification.

Please correct me if I am wrong, this is what I read here.


Do you expect the EU to insist on a different solution once the US solution is in-place in all US-based operating systems?

Yes. They haven't had a problem implementing their own specific regulations before - like alternative app store requirements on iOS or the European editions of Windows.

Nah you see, the NASDAQ is giving them a out just like SpaceX. Short-circuit the index joining time and allow them to get into index funds within days. After that you shift all the losses onto 401ks as the original investors cash out and the 401ks blindly buy the shares as part of the index.


The EU is unleashing billions of euros to drop US controlled software this year and beyond. This means TDF, Collabora and NextCloud are tripping over themselves to scoop up the funds as non-American Office Software alternatives to Microsoft.
