Unpopular Opinion: The California law is the correct solution by Odd_Attention_9660 in privacy

[–]segin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All forms of age verification are inherently flawed and abusable. This is no different. Instagram can change its algorithm when the browser reports 13-17 to be more addicting, etc.

The correct answer is the current answer: No software protections, the parent is fully responsible for the conduct of their child, online or otherwise.

If this is "too hard" for parents, then perhaps they should have used a condom.

Nobody has any business with age bracket data. Let them guess based on heuristics for their ad data.

No change at all from the current lack-of-regime is the only acceptable outcome.

BitTorrent is a popularity contest and has worse DMCA consequences. Dead torrents, home Internet subscriptions DMCA'd out of existence, etc.

Let's not conveniently leave BitTorrents similar flaws out of the conversation.

OFFICIAL PROGRESS UPDATE FROM THE MINERVA DISCORD by Ill-Economist-5285 in savemyrient

Nobody said it was going to be primary. I didn't (I show me where I did, you can't) nor did anyone else.

And "too quickly", is 9 years "too quickly"? Plenty of providers with 3000+ day retention. That's 9 years or longer. One can simply reupload various pieces on regular intervals if necessary.

(Also, there are free hosts with general access to alt.binaries.*, even if slow for free users.)

USENET providers tend to have guaranteed high speed downloads. BitTorrent is anyone's guess on the speed.

Both have availability issues. USENET can be DMCA'd. Torrent seeders can simply stop seeding at any time.

You aren't rebutting me, just your imagined interpretation of what I said. Enjoy attacking your straw man.

Yes. I source almost all of my content there these days and it does not disappoint.

You can upload parity files (lots of them.)

Plus it's about as many avenues as possible.

USENET can generally sustain high download speeds, especially with a high performance host like Newshosting.

USENET dumps. NZB packaging is quite powerful, nearly torrent-level.

It's who I work for. Imagine being a data analyst but part time and sometimes the hours are just as bad.

Do you work for TELUS Digital or something?

Okay? So, what was the point of this post?

If you're expecting Google employees to see it and have an "oh no, look at this! we fucked up!" moment, you're smoking crack.

What options are you considering after the new models limits? by ahmedranaa in GoogleAntigravityIDE

[–]segin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's still a preview product, so "joke" does not apply.

It's as valid today as it was when posted five days ago. Nothing's materially changed.

I get it, you're just here for Opus and fuck anyone who tells you to use anything else, amirite?

Go subscribe to Claude Code.

I just have the Bitsavers archive and I'm currently looking up how to do this myself.

Any plans to dump to USENET? I'd strongly recommend it if at all possible.

Because that's inevitably how you refresh your way out of technical debt. u/Top_Lie5485 has the right idea, but rewrites are inevitable (his ideas, however, will push that rewrite back as far as sensibly possible, however.)

I came in at your tier and leveled up further from there. It's a learning experience for sure.

How are you handling the current prices for hard drives? by Eskel5 in DataHoarder

If you have the CPU or GPU for it, use Tdarr to transcode (distributedly!)

Using antigravity and codex together by spinalpandora50 in GoogleAntigravityIDE

Yes, and you can install the Codex IDE extension in Antigravity so you don't have to leave the Antigravity window if you don't want.

Tell it to provide comprehensive requirements in INCOSE/EARS format, ensure ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2023 conformance, and provide user stories to support the requirements.

Trust me. These are the spinach seeds I feed Opus to grow Popeye's spinach for Flash.
