It basically means dodging legal restrictions on investigation by using illegal (or at least inadmissible) means to obtain evidence, and once the police have it, they look for legal ways to get that same information.
So everywhere “has it”, the question is whether they use it. I don’t know if there’s reason to believe that EU police forces use such methods more or less than their US counterparts.
Hey don’t be so quick to dismiss it! The article says that apparently Elon Musk has promised “Real-time, high-quality shows and video games at scale, customized to the individual, next year.”
Next year man! He promised it!! It’s gonna be like, just any game you dream of will be instantly created, exactly matching what you imagined and with fantastic world-building and beautifully complex interwoven story-lines!!! It’s gonna be amazing bro!!!
a machine capable of running Wasteland 2
Is there even such a machine on God’s good earth? It’s definitely a good game, but absolutely blighted by instability & CTDs last time I tried it a few years ago.
I wonder what difference it makes when the user isn’t using English. They don’t mention that they aren’t considering this and don’t mention it on their How it Works page, but they do in the paper’s abstract: “Finally, our focus on English-language prompts overlooks the additional biases that may emerge in other languages.”
They do also reference a study by another team that does show differences in bias based on input language which concludes, “Our experiments on several LLMs show that incorporating perspectives from diverse languages can in fact improve robustness; retrieving multilingual documents best improves response consistency and decreases geopolitical bias”
The subject of how and what type of bias is captured by LLMs is a pretty interesting subject that’s definitely worthy of analysis. Personally I do feel they should more prominently highlight that they’re just looking at English language interactions; it feels a bit sensationalist/click-baity at the moment and I don’t think they can reasonably imply that LLMs are inherently biased towards “male, white, and Western” values just yet.
my information might be out of date yeah! I’ve just skimmed their wikipedia which hasn’t helped clear things up! Seems they did have difficulties around 2011 - “After two decades in decline, Philips went through a major restructuring, shifting its focus from electronics to healthcare.”
Then, “On 29 January 2013, it was announced that Philips had agreed to sell its audio and video operations to the Japan-based Funai Electric for €150 million […] Funai was to pay a regular licensing fee to Philips for the use of the Philips brand.[59] The purchase agreement was terminated by Philips in October because of breach of contract[61] and the consumer electronics operations remained under Philips”
It’s a long wiki article with a hell of a lot of transfers and acquisitions, and it’s not clear how up to date some sections are. So I’m not sure what the current situation is.
Phillips is another one not on that list. European company that AFAIK have mostly resisted the enshittification urge.
Same. This hardware keyboard is taking up potential screen real-estate.
If you want a hardware keyboard, just use a bluetooth one, you can get folding ones which fold up pretty small.
If you’re a firefox person, there’s an add-on called Peertube Companion which will convert peertube links to use your instance. So for me, that link takes me to peertube.wtf rather than peertube.gravitywell.xyz
Apparently it will also redirect you to your peertube instance when you watch a video on YouTube that also exists on peertube (I’ve never had this happen though! Not sure how it does the comparision - hashes I suppose?)
Ah ok that’s one I’d heard (the other being Day-see-ah like the other guy said). Glad to have it cleared up, thanks!
I didn’t even know Dacia was its own brand before Renault got it!
I’d love to know how you pronounce it though - specifically the ‘C’. Do you (i.e. Romanians) pronounce it like an S or a K or something else??
Yep. The rest of us switched to metric a long time ago.
Not sure if this is a joke, but if not this software is to help protect *against* ddos attacks, not for running them 😂
Not without the correct licence, no
It seems to only have an Arduino as processor, so presumably the former i.e. you need a PC to plug this into. It seems to have highly simplified tracking compared to something like a Quest - a single Inertial Measurement Unit. All enough for sim racing which is this guy’s jam, but I wonder how well the tracking stays calibrated.
Won’t it get hot as hell in there, all that wood and foam and rubber?
You can have nodes on a mesh network which act as gateways to the internet, but such nodes are going to have to go through an ISP. There’s no other way to connect to the internet at large unfortunately.
this is what the mesh networks are that people have mentioned elsewhere in this thread.
It is theoretically possible to create a purely peer-to-peer network where each individual connects to people nearby, and then any individual can in theory communicate with any other, by passing data packets to nearby people on the network who then pass it on themselves until it reaches the other person.
You can probably already grasp a few of the issues here - confidentiality is a big one, and reliability is another. But in theory it could work, and the more people who take part in such networks, the more reliable they become.
Ah got ya, it’s a site to show each EU government’s position on this. Only three EU governments are opposing right now! Gotta get them numbers up!
off-topic but wow, it’s great to see so many lemmy instances up and running 🥰
it really looks like we’re well on the way to hitting critical mass
I don’t think you can have spreadsheets with multiple “sub sheets” (can’t think of an unambiguous name for them - basically the equivalent of browser tabs)
Pretty sure there’s no way to have graphical charts either.
