never mind the federal CIP requirements.. federal government is deprecated as of February 2025

I don't know how much verbal diarrhoea OpenAIs cloud servers generate per minute but it must be a lot. Do they have some AI model that monitors all that dross just to ascertain that none of this is used deceptively? They they have an AI bullshit filter?

If smartphones were on the same trajectory as cars, we would have gone from a compact 5'' in 2010 to a Motorola-Dynatac-brick format now.

What they'll find is that most of the non-encoding RNA is the biological small-print: legally binding EULA and a hard-boiled NDA, having any research institution's legal counsel quaking in their tan brogues.

I was the right age when the film first came out in the 70s but lacked interest or the right kind of pocket money, so I never went to see it.

At university, die-hard fansd couldn't believe i'd never seen it so invited me to a VHS all-nighter, but I couldn't stay awake.

Still not sure what accounts for the continuing appeal of a kids' fairytale movie, other than extremely competent marketing.

all sorts of stuff in Saudi is

Part of the problem that an awful lot of non-citizens are needed to support that lifestyle.

> I wonder what happened to him.

he pretended to be a bank man but instead he fried all the money

Exactly! you can pry my Model M (errm actually a Dell-branded clone or lookalike i don't care at this point because I'm used to it!) from my cold dead hands. Gluttons for punishment even got used to a ZX-81 or or similar Apple ca. 2016

in the UK if you're too rich that can be cause for suspicion:

I wish it applied to old money too. But it's just newly-rich crooks really, not royal family etc.

Tech companiers touting some cheap solution to a complicated medical diagnostic procedure that doesn't quite work, and might be dangerous if people take it as read? Surely that never happens?

it would be a "DOS attack". If you can defeat the proof-of-authenicity-token with ease e.g. by warming it up, rubbing it, or dabbing with acetone enough to displace some of the glitter glue, then it becomes worthless and won't be deployed on a wide scale

that makes sense.
Here I use PWA on Fedora (MS Teams, if you must know) and it's using Chrome, while I use Firefox for everything else. EU rules don't forbid any of that.

they weren't the first either... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fxkcd.com%2F2889%2F

does _anyone_ still "believe" in crypto, other than "sunk cost" suckers?

you'd need a display that has a couple bits more colour depth than the image sensor in question, and as far as I understand those displays don't exist. High-end Camera sensors now offer 12, 14 or even 16 bits per channel, that is way more than you can expect from any display technology we have, or likely will get, because (other than this application of spoofing image signatures) this kind of technology would be useless and expensive. That said, the technology would only be credible if the audit trail of CA-signed signatures extends right to the sensor chip, and furthermore is of course Free and open-source.
