Reminds me of seeing Putin bragging a few months ago about how Russia has more nukes than the US/NATO/whatever. Well yes, you better hope so, because if shit hits the fan, you have to take on basically the entire free world by yourself, whereas the entire free world is aiming everything they've got at just you.
Yup, I too use Phind sometimes, and it's amazing. Plus if I want to chat with approximately any model known to man, there's chat.lmsys.org and labs.perplexity.ai. Microsoft thoroughly shit the bed by taking a narrow opportunity to get people to move to Bing as an opportunity to instead go "hey, let's blow this on trying to force people to use Edge!"
Considering all the open models that already exist and are yet to be created before all the rulings and appeals are done, that toothpaste ain't going back in the tube.
Too late, they blew their one shot. Ain't no one who tried it when it was new and hyped and was told that they couldn't use it since they weren't using Edge setting reminders to go back occasionally and check whether Microsoft has finally pulled their head out of their ass, it just instantly ceased to exist for them.
I remember going to check it out, and them refusing to let me try it unless I used Edge and/or a Bing account (don't remember exactly and don't care). And that's how they blew their one shot to get me and hordes of others to give a flying fuck about it.
> This cannot be repeated enough. It’s harmful to almost everyone to allow sideloading on iPhone. Power without the knowledge to use it responsibly results in actual real world harm. This may sound paternalistic but it’s what it is. I’m all in for a developer mode with a knowledge/competency check, choke full of warnings, make the user wait x days before it is enabled, whatever. But don’t allow it, not in a way a scammer could tell my grandma “oh yes we need to use that feature behind the warning to refund the funds to your bank account, now please tap accept…”
Most people don't want to live in a lowest common denominator world dumbed down to the point where even the stupidest/most gullible person one could ever imagine can't possibly screw up.
> I just don't have faith in US political and cultural stability anymore, and as such I don't have faith that the constitution will be upheld . . . .
You can have faith or lack thereof in whatever you want, but I would like you to provide one single example in history where the President decided to give the military unconstitutional orders (as in legally acknowledged at the time to be unconstitutional, not "I don't like it so it's unconstitutional") and the US military sided with him instead of the Constitution.
> To counter this polemic comment with a more serious one: the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq after the 9/11 attacks was a central watershed moment in history that lead to a massive shift in the public opinion concerning the US military politics in many countries (and has stayed quite critical of it since then) - including lots of allies of the USA.
Nice try, but no. Iraq was bullshit, and even we protested it ourselves, but Afghanistan had the support of basically the entire world. Many of those allies you claim don't value our military anymore pee themselves a little at the thought of being left to fend for themselves by us leaving NATO and ceasing to massively subsidize their defense (e.g., the wailing and gnashing when Donald Trump was threatening to take us out of NATO).
Then you will be pleased to learn that the US military takes an oath to the Constitution, not to whoever happens to be the current President. Exactly because the dangers of assholes assuming the Presidency isn't some kind of genius insight that you're the first person to ever consider.
Yep, that and the calendar app are the ones I use. I've been experimenting with Aves as a replacement for the gallery app, but not sure what I think about it yet.
Since they didn't specify, perhaps they meant using perceptual hashing (because yes, modifying an image to have a different cryptographic hash is indeed trivial).
For me it was the experiments where identical triplets got different ancestry results, even though any full siblings in the world including non-identical ones have identical ancestry.
