A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It’s a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

I don’t want to be the guy that always says Linux, but… …Linux

SOMEBODY ALREADY ASKED THIS QUESTION USE SEARCH

I don’t understand this approach, if you don’t want to answer, just don’t answer. Why would you waste time writing that you won’t answer?

Cosmicomical ,

I thought you were a search engine.

Cosmicomical ,

Seems a reasonable request. You are creating a tool with the potential to be used as a weapon, you must be able to guarantee it won’t be used as such. Power is nothing without control.

This is for models that cost 100 million dollars to train. Not all things are the same and most things that can do serious damage to big chunks of population are regulated. Cars are regulated, firearms are regulated, access to drugs is regulated. Even internet access is super controlled. I don’t see how you can say AI should not be regulated.

Cosmicomical ,

…and?

Cosmicomical ,

It seems very biased to say the least. A title like that would be ok if it was comparing agile to pre-existing models like waterfall. A valid title for this would have been "new sw development methodology seems to have a much lower failure rate than agile dev. "

ALSO I would like to see the experiment repeated by independent researchers.

Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity?

Despite not subscribing to political communities and having a large number of content filters based on keywords, my feed here is still for a large part all negative articles and ragebait. Elon Musk this and Israel that. Microsoft ruining windows, AI ruining internet, right wingers and capitalism ruining the world, police being...

I think it reflects the point where we are as a society. Everything is crappy and we all come here to vent.

Cosmicomical ,

I’m all in favour of this, and I try to do keep people accountable for what they say, even though I often end up getting insults for it. But to judge in court someone for spreading lies you would need to know the objective truth, and setting truth into stone would compromise science’a ability to propose radical new ideas.

I think there are ways to do this without compromising science, though. But they are all susceptible to the 50% attack, made famous by cryptocurrencies. If you rely on a community to certify what truth is, you are exposed to a potential attack where a powerful enemy buys more than 50% of the network to make them say their lie is true and the actual truth is a lie. I don’t have a solution for that yet.

Cosmicomical ,

You forgot step 5: once you have won, change the rules so nobody else can play anymore

Cosmicomical ,

Eh, you’re still on time. Wait (checks papers) no, sorry you aren’t. They just changed the rules.

Cosmicomical ,

Carpe noctem

Cosmicomical ,

I’m sure the moment I were to become a billionaire people would finally pull out the guillotines.

Cosmicomical ,

I said carpe? Sorry i meant carpet

Cosmicomical ,

Sounds deranged. If it was NOT socially ostracized they would NOT need to rely on the partner being ostracized.

Cosmicomical ,

Off topic but I’m not ok with a robot president, because it would mean we made fully conscious robots, which is a recipe for disaster. We need to build flexible and smart tools without an ego, not an actually superior iron race.

Fraud trial juror reports getting bag of $120,000 and promise of more if she'll acquit (apnews.com)

A juror was dismissed Monday after reporting that a woman dropped a bag of $120,000 in cash at her home and offered her more money if she would vote to acquit seven people charged with stealing more than $40 million from a program meant to feed children during the pandemic....

Cosmicomical ,

This is outrageous, allright. You steal 40 mil from the kids and try to bribe me with 120k? Go straight to prison!

Cosmicomical ,

In relativity time is a real dimension like space , but of a different type, and your speed in time depends on your speed in space and on your proximity to big masses, like planets. This kind of physics is necessary to keep the satellites synchronised otherwise their clocks go at a different speed from those on earth, so this is all very real and confirmed.

Cosmicomical ,

Yeah it doesn’t seem in-character for him

Cosmicomical ,

My favourite part is when elon uploads trump’s mind to the net but since his technology is shit the instance of trump is in permanent excruciating pain forever

Cosmicomical ,

It starts with voting in primaries for better candidates when it’s not a matter of life or death.

Cosmicomical ,

It may be satire, but I don’t get the funny part.

This stuff about the price reductions after 4 years of blatant gouging is really freaking me out

I mean, that’s 4 years of our lives taken! 4 years of opportunities that were more challenging because they wanted a number on a computer to go up! 4 years of feeling worse than necessary about my finances and management of them and general personhood because i felt like i couldn’t afford anything because everything was...

We have observed an incredible acceleration in accumulation of money in the hands of the ultra-rich. This alone tells us that supply chain is not the issue. The issues are greed of the bloodsucking class and complicity from the governments around the world that should monitor and regulate the prices of basic necessities but don’t.

Cosmicomical ,

Nah, not gonna happen. The guy thinks too highly of himself and his value for society, that’s been confirmed multiple times.

Cosmicomical ,

I’m pretty sure that was very close to the maximun extent of his influence.

Cosmicomical ,

As a species we have invented something called “indexes” that solve exactly that kind of problem. We actually have an entire field of science called information retrieval, that doesn’t require screenshotting your whole life to produce the same result.

Cosmicomical ,

I agree, he betrayed them by doing illegal stuff. They should definitely get their revenge on him!

Cosmicomical , (edited )

Religion is against science. It teaches that you must have faith unsupported by evidence, which is incompatible with progress and is just an excuse for making up rules in the name of an unseen authority.

Edit: Religion is also vile: whenever they are winning, they try to squash science and its methods. Whenever they are losing, they play the martyr.

Cosmicomical ,

This is a brilliant example of anecdotal example, which has no statistical value. I’m sure your dad is a great person.

Cosmicomical ,

That priest, Lemaitre, was opposed to mixing science and religion and said that there was no contraddiction between his theory and what the bible says about the origin of the universe. This is a 1984-level cognitive dissonance event imo, and shows that mixing something ever growing like science with something immutable like religious establishment is very difficult especially in one direction.

Cosmicomical , (edited )

Lol, no. I’m talking of a general trend of the religious establishment against innovation and understanding.

Edit: Also i never said “science and religion must always oppose”. I said religion is against science. The hate is mostly unidirectional as science has mostly just indifference towards religion.

Cosmicomical ,

Sounds very reasonable

Cosmicomical ,

So you are saying he’s on trial because us is corrupted? So you are supporting this piece of shit?

Cosmicomical ,

Keep firing tech people, the tech peiple will have to find an hobby

Cosmicomical ,

I vote for you

Cosmicomical ,

I don’t even think that’s malicious, just a short sighted safe bet. But probably it is malicious after all.

Cosmicomical ,

Well I certainly doubt you will ever see something like that being organized on a public social network.

Cosmicomical ,

Something like this seems cheap and longterm enough to be included in an insurance. Maybe not immediately, but soon enough.

Cosmicomical ,

Returns to whom?

Cosmicomical ,

This is like saying a meatgrinder is a good place to live because it works

Cosmicomical ,

Because that’s a bullshit take. Effective at what exactly? Oppressing people? Killing minorities? Certainly not effective at making people’s lives better, unless you are part of the ruling class.

Cosmicomical ,

What does this have to do with the question? Having samples of the data they want to compress is fundamental if you hope to find an algorythm to compress 200x.

Cosmicomical ,

just have to tell them the prompt, along with a few variables

Before you can do that, you have to spend hours of computation to figure out a prompt and a set of variables that perfectly match the picture you want to transmit.

Cosmicomical ,

You are removing the most computationally intensive part of the process in your example, that’s making it sound easy, while adding it back shows that your process is not practical.

Cosmicomical ,

Words have meanings, that’s their purpose. By using bad words, you get bad reactions. Don’t be so susceptible.

Cosmicomical ,

I’m sure the basilisk will see through all this bootlicking.

Cosmicomical ,

Did he just invent self-hosting?

Cosmicomical ,

I know but I’m sure he’s just throwing words around, what he meant is “gigafactory of COMPUTERS”
