And if you work for a company that supports causes you don’t agree with… Move on.

I could lend out my old computer with old games installed to somebody else to use, right?

What if instead i lend my hard drive, is it still the same thing? Or what if I lend out my remote access screen sharing password to my old PC. Still the same?

Maybe the legal workaround is to game the system here a bit - forget downloading executables which feels a lot like pirating and just lend access to a system that is legally running the original license.

You are correct. Later drives sometimes had a cable select dip switch/pin or different ports on the motherboard.

Kinda true, how this thing even worked, nobody knows

Naturally

I sure hope there is some mechanism to compensate content creators because without traffic, there will be no new articles.

Meh, your phone probably is. Also likely whatever else you use for connecting to the internet in the west too.a that irony isn’t lost on the local but we’ll educated in china, they just use a VPN. Those who aren’t educated, well, they just don’t know what’s out there.

There is a Russian captcha solver bot called xevil that costs under $100 (I think, last time I looked) that has been able to solve nearly all captchas for years. You just have to supply it with relatively expensive proxy IP addresses because Google rate limits solve attempts.

So the title of this article has been true for a long long time. Capatchas are absolutely useless except against poor or uninformed script kiddies.

Huh, you’re right. I didn’t know about that. From Wikipedia:

The Chinese startup claims to have the miniature device in the pilot testing stage. Unveiled in January 2024, it is allegedly generating 100 microwatts of power and a voltage of 3V and has a lifetime of 50 years without any need for charging or maintenance.

Wonder if it microwaves your balls when it’s in your pocket too.

Either way we can dream of a future where we never have to plug in to charge again.

Soon as we can figure out micro nuclear reactors it may actually work that way!

I for one would be fine going back to the ini files of win 3.1

Yeah, if they are healthy companies they could snag some market share from one of Google’s products.

Easier to kill them early.

Whack-a-mole. Once banned, a scammer will just sign up with someone else’s ID.

I mean, that’s kinda what they are pros at already, right?

Does anyone remember the inside jokes in the early days of reddit?

When does the narwhal bacon? Orangered Chuck Testa!! Ridiculously photogenic guy And of course the long list of meme-level posts like broken arms, cumbox, celebrity AMAs

This type of community humor made a lot of people feel like they’d found their tribe on reddit in those early days.

I haven’t seen much like this develop on Lemmy yet, possibly because there’s so many disparate communities merging. I’m not really sure. Or maybe all those 20-something redditors are now pushing 40.

I think it will take a while for a lemmy culture to develop and the community won’t attract outsiders much until it does.

This poster asked some questions in good faith, I don’t understand the downvotes when there’s a legitimate contribution to the conversation because that stifles other contributions.

One of the best things ever about LLMs is how you can give them absolute bullshit textual garbage and they can parse it with a huge level of accuracy.

Some random chunks of html tables, output a csv and convert those values from imperial to metric.

Fragments of a python script and ask it to finish the function and create a readme to explain the purpose of the function. And while it’s at it recreate the missing functions.

Copy paste of a multilingual website with tons of formatting and spelling errors. Ask it to fix it. Boom done.

Of course, the problem here is that developers can no longer clean their inputs as well and are encouraged to send that crappy input straight along to the LLM for processing.

There’s definitely going to be a whole new wave of injection style attacks where people figure out how to reverse engineer AI company magic.

White is most common and dark orange/grey are the least common? By how many standard deviations?
