Definitely sounds like it could be real. If I had to guess their mounting a drive (or another partition) and it’s defaulting to read only. When restarting it resets the original permissions as they only updated the file permissions, but not the mount configuration.
Also reads like some of my frustrations when first getting into Linux (and the issues I occasionally run into still).
Just read up more about the systems and always thought they charged you more, didn’t realize that for the time being they are zero interest loans.
Seems unsustainable, but sounds like they’re using the credit card technique of charing the storefront. It’ll be interesting to see where the bnpl industry goes.
Why be the bad guy when you can just enable them.
This is what I was going to say.
A lot of the web used to run on flash. Then apple comes around and says “flash is terrible and insecure”. Within a number of years everything moved away from flash, so it’s definitely possible to force the web in new directions.
You don’t have to use the app, the website is fine. However, with dominos if you aren’t using one of their coupon “deals” you’re overpaying for their food.
Their whole gimic is how the “coupons” save you money, but it’s not fast food prices without them.
That’s like 50% of all tip calculations nowadays. It’s really obnoxious and feels like it’s trying to make you feel guilty for tipping an appropriate amount, but taxes and service charges aren’t part of the service.
These models are also already open sourced, you can’t stop it. Additionally all of those “requirements” would just mean that AI would only be owned by big corporations.
All I’m hearing is jailtime for Tina Belcher and her erotic friend fiction!
But seriously, i generally agree that as long as people aren’t sharing it shouldn’t be a problem. If I can picture it in my head without consequence, seems kinda silly putting that thought on paper/screen should be illegal.
I’ve used it before and it’s got it’s pros and cons. Ultimately the big thing is not all apps need to be the “killer app”. Some apps are pretty simple, so a one size fits all can be nice. It’s definitely not the same as developing natively, but for small teams/apps it’s not too bad.
You can also set your browser to desktop mode. For some reason viewing things from a “desktop” is okay, but God forbid you view it from your phone.
It’s possible the article is referring to how they got the training data, but as we’ve been learning from recent reporting, places like cruise were actually hiring people to monitor the “autonomous” systems.
App stores and game engines are examples where you are paying a percentage of revenue. Not that it makes this scenario make any more sense, but there are models out there that operate this way. However, in both you are working in pretty locked down environments.
You can get your own modem (what plugs into the wall) or your own wifi router (you’d plug this into the isp modem). Your own modem is better, but ISPs can give you grief about “supporting” them.
Sorta, it’s supposed to replace sms to an extent, but does require an internet connection. However, it is an open standard to my understanding meaning that any platform could implement it, not just android/ios.
Even if they paid them there are a lot of things being done here that could be illegal, hence why they immediately shut down the VPN after someone found out what they are doing.
Not to mention how highly unethical this all is. If you read the articles, there were multiple people FROM Facebook that questioned the approach.
There are obviously ways that this kind of research could be done ethically or legally, and your right that people should be empowered over their data. That does not mean a large company abusing it’s knowledge and power should be legal.
My one complaint about my new vehicle. I can basically control everything from the steering wheel, except the A/C. For some reason that needs to be weird touch controls.
Sync thing is a great resource if you want your files to be replicated across systems. I use it for files that I might work on while in different locations and devices.
Its basically a personal onedrive or Dropbox.
So the issue is not that they don’t have diverse training data, the issue is that not all things get equal representation. So their trained model will have biases to produce a white person when you ask generically for a “person”. To prevent it from always spitting out a white person when someone prompts the model for a generic person, they inject additional words into the prompt, like “racially ambiguous”. Therefore it occasionally encourages/forces more diversity in the results. The issue is that these models are too complex for these kinds of approaches to work seamlessly.
The download feature is always in some state of broken, but it has gotten a lot better over the past couple of years. If you haven’t tried it in a year or so, you may have better luck now.
