You can get free profile decorations these days from watching ads (discord “orbs”). It would be interesting to know how many of those users have the nitro subscription badge next to their name
> We did a lot of experiments to try and get more people to look at the new page or new content
Is that what "best" sort is doing when browsing a specific subreddit? Occasionally I'll notice some crappy 1 minute old post on my feed that's out of place and realize the sorting was reset to "best" instead of "hot" instead
> On January 3, 2022, the jury found Holmes guilty on four of the seven counts related to defrauding investors: three counts of wire fraud, and one of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. She was found not guilty on four counts related to defrauding patients
> Everything that relies on a data connection will no longer work. This includes things like over-the-air updates as well as Toyota cloud-based services and SOS functionality
I hate how this is a trade off. It’s totally possible for cars to broadcast their location only if the SOS is pressed or the crash sensor is triggered, but it feels like there’s no way to have that without also having everything else.
> In 2022, Carelon settled a lawsuit for $13 million that alleged the company, then called AIM, had used a variety of techniques to avoid approving coverage requests. Among them: The company set its fax machines to receive only 5 to 10 pages.
Who are the people who sleep at night after designing these policies?
> He fueled the nonprofit’s growth partly through unorthodox fundraising. Tessellations offered parents a deal: pay half their tuition as a donation for a tax write-off. “Lawyers say, ‘Please don’t do that,’” Stanat recalled, “I’m like, ‘But is it illegal?’ ‘No, not illegal.’ ‘OK, great, we’ll do it.’”
I edit videos on a hobbyist level (mostly using davinci resolve to edit clips of me dying in video games to upload to a shareX host to show to friends). The big takeaway for
me was reading that for quality/efficiency libx264 is better than nvenc for rendering h264 video. All this time I’ve assumed nvenc is better because it used shiny GPU technology! Is libx264 better for recording high quality videos too? I know it will run on CPU unlike NVENC but I doubt that’s an issue for my use case.
Edit: from some googling it looks like encoding is encoding, whether it’s used for recording or rendering footage. In that case the same quality arguments the article is making should apply for recording too. I only did a cursory search though and have not had a chance to test so if anyone knows better feel free to respond
> But officers can also make emergency data requests, or EDRs, in cases involving a threat of imminent harm or death. These requests typically bypass any additional verification steps by the companies who are under pressure to fulfill the request as quickly as possible.
How do companies decide which EDRs to fulfill and which ones require a judicial subpoena? Are companies ever even under the obligation to fulfill an EDR?
Reminds me of when Reddit posted their year end roundup https://web.archive.org/web/20140409152507/http://www.reddit... and revealed their “most addicted city” to be the home of Eglin Air Force Base, host of a lot of military cyber operations. They edited the article shortly afterward to remove this inconvenient statistic
I notice a distinction made in the docs for image, video, and "web page" slop. Will there be a way to aggressively categorize filter web page slop separately from the other two? There's an uncomfortable amount of authors, even posted on this forum, who write insightful posts that (at least from what I can tell) aren't AI slop, but for some reason they decide to header it with a generated image. While I find that distateful, I would only want to filter that if the content of the post text itself was slop too. Will the distinction in the docs allow for that?
