I'm curious if you have been bothered by the "fact" that the device does not unfold to 180 degrees. This seemed like a big deal from reviewers and... I haven't noticed at all. Maybe it doesn't find flat? Haven't been bothered enough to even check!

Right? 10 maybe 15 yrs ago the "black market" aspect would be redundant. XD

Going out on a limb and betting China or Russia gangs are responsible. Happy to be priced won't but... Yea. Not holding my breath.

Every web service provider should block all China and Russia IPs until they agree to behave like responsible parties. AWS's WAF has pretty good geo IP blocking.

"nearly every act of domestic terror ever committed in U.S. history has been by conservatives. " This factually true statement should be repeated regularly but for "some reason" the media is afraid to do so.

They are likely using a form of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_hashing

The noise level a perceptual hash is sensitive to can be tuned.

The "falsely match similar looking" is harder than one would expect. I used to work on an audio fingerprinting system which was extremely robust to "similar" audio matching. What sounded similar to us was always identified uniquely by the hash with high confidence.

For example. Take the same piano piece done by the same artists on the same piano performed as close as they could to the same: never confused the perceptual hash with ~10 sec of audio. Not once. We could even identify how much of a pre-recorded song was used in a "live" performance.

There are adversarial attacks for perceptual hashes. However, "similar eyes" would not be one to a standard perceptual hash. More like: a picture of an abstract puppy happens to have the same hash as an eye.

I'd be curious on the details of the hash. That is necessary to know what the adversely attacks are. But I see no mention of the details. Which is suspicious on it's own.

Not mine boggling imo when you think of it from the angle of "then they'll have to spend more money!"

Otoh I had an argument with an AWS rep who just didn't understand why I wanted an isolated local dev environment.

Did they increase financing as well? Otherwise this is a false compromise meant for regulatory capture.

I use AI to solve problems. Like any tool, they have limitations. Eg: complex systems cannot be completely described within context length. Like any content (human or AI) the arguments should be considered critically and references checked.

That does mean I rarely take genererated code as-is.

Totally agree. I'm really hoping those services are getting a wake up call with how Twitter has been going.

Right? This is so strange. If an earthquake alert is so vital for the country then, well, don't rely on the "generosity" of a for profit company.

Anybody from the "law and order" party want to defend this shit head?

"charges Trump, De Oliveira and Nauta with two new obstruction counts based on allegations that they instructed an unnamed, fourth worker to delete surveillance video footage at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence last summer "to prevent the footage from being provided to a federal grand jury." "

Go on. Let's here the bullshit excuses
