This a solved problem. The solution is called the electric screwdriver. If you want one as a prosthetic, go for it.
Hey, Niue will have you know that they are merely in free association with New Zealand and had their independence in foreign relations recognized by the UN.

9·13 days agoI’m sure this guy is human trash, but the last one is just funny.
I never understood why foids had a whole separate doctor until I got married and started hearing about all the crazy stuff
I’m sorry, but I think this would be funny if a cool, normal guy said it. Makes OB/Gyn sound kinda rad, really.
Niue, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, Tokelau, and American Samoa for starters.
PS: admittedly, some of those are dependent territorries
Didn’t know the author, apparently she’s your average televangelist type.
Wikipedia:
Meyer, who owns several homes and travels in a private jet, has been criticized for living an excessive lifestyle. She does not defend her spending habits, saying “there’s no need for us to apologize for being blessed.” Meyer commented, “You can be a businessman here in St. Louis, and people think the more you have, the more wonderful it is … but if you’re a preacher, then all of a sudden it becomes a problem.”
I’m not gonna fault an american for an opinion like that, but if you’re involved with european leftists who are too busy virtue signalling to adopt any pragmatic defense policy positions, you get a real appreciation for the nuance.

8·15 days agoThere’s a take in there somewhere, about “dark web”-like online communities and how they form too thin a social fabric to keep people accountable and aligned with a common good, so personal grievances and economic incentives take over.
Someone probably already wrote it up better than I could bother.

2·27 days agoThe counterargument is basically rule utilitarianism, right? That not only the direct outputs of your actions matter, but also the processes and social norms that you reinforce, and the total side effects of those.
(At least I think that’s what rule utilitarianism is.)
Pointer against AI is that Trump is lower resolution than the rest of the pic. Like a far away news camera vs. a high res movie camera.
My guy, have you been made aware that there were methods for image manipulation around before AI, that could let you combine parts of different pictures into one picture?

The Krebs article didn’t substantiate that. Is there a source of people getting past MFA with the hack?
Just add honey, and I’ll drink ten of those while I cut down my reading list.







The segment goes on a bit longer. He doesn’t make a point against e2ee (he’s very anti-surveillance in general) and I think pedo is just a general insult in this case. He thinks it’s irrelevant do-gooder shit. Which tracks for someone who measures relevance largely via his Twitter feed.
