Spain has a lot of latin-american immigrants. I don’t know the process myself, but judging by my personal experience of seeing Latin American people everywhere around me, it’s probably relatively easy to get in.

That we know of

And lets not forget, that they don’t produce any value, just entertainment.

I don’t know what weird definition of value you are using. But for a sane definition, this is just wrong.

The tax is not depending on where the data comes from. If the data is delivered to France, it is taxed. Moving the place where it is hosted solves nothing.

Otherwise, this would not tax American companies.

Even in the worst case scenario, it would be as easy as making the AI <div> invisible. Which is a 5 minute job. Well, for a bug tech company 10 hours, since they are horribly inefficient. But 10 hours is nothing in order to please a customer at the scale of Google.

The search is still there. It’s just pushed down by the AI window. Which takes a great part of the screen.

Surely today is the day that the graph will make a 90° turn!

If they deleted the data you’d be calling it a murder instead of holding it hostage lol.

When I board a plane, I know that when the plane lands, I gotta take my luggage with me when I exit the plane.

When I stop paying for a VPS, I loose all access to that VPS. When I close an email account, I lose those emails.

When my subscription to private repos ends. I no longer have access to those private repos. Slow storage is pretty cheap. They can just move private repos from users that have stopped paying into long term storage, and free up precious nvme storage.

I don’t usually defend corporations. But this is a service you signed up for, knowing the conditions of the deal.

It’s like complaining that you’re obligated to return the keys to your hotel after the agreed upon date/time.

How is that a scam tactic? You got access to private repos for some amount of time. It is clear to any reasonable person that you would lose access after the pro version ends.

If you didn’t want your repos to be “held hostage”, just clone them before the subscription expires.

I benefitted from student GitHub pro too, and I used it knowing that the day would come where my free subscription would end and I’d lose access to it.

I thought musk already doxed himself less than a month ago when buying some Legos or something

Are there not any EU tea sellers? AFAIK, this only applies to small packets. An EU seller would buy big amounts of outside tea for a reasonable price, then sell it to you for cheaper than direct shipping.

He is technically wrong though. His argument is based on people only using DRAM for model inference. Which is nuts.

People use DRAM for a lot of things more beneficial than AI inference. And those use cases are also many times more efficient than whatever this Epstein class guy is using it for.

A CNC machine that produces actual goods that are actually beneficial to humanity does need DRAM. I doubt it needs more than 100MB though. An LLM counting the RS in strawberry eats up a gazillion TB of DRAM to produce nothing of value.

They’ll still DoS the entire internet. It’s just that it will no longer be done by LLMs directly.

You can definitely send arbitrary data from host to device and the other way around with USB HID. Many keyboard/mice have programmable macros. That is only possible because the host can send arbitrary data in a proprietary format (to save the macros on-device) and the device can too (to tell the software what the macros contain)

I didn’t say it’s easy. It’s just the only way. First step would be removing them from the list of trusted CAs installed on your devices.

And of course, security flaws chain together. So if you don’t trust Microsoft office, you basically can’t trust any commercial product in existence.

But at least you can avoid being a direct customer of them, even if you’re still an indirect one.

There is no reasonable way to be an ethical hacker when the companies you are hacking are not ethical themselves.

If they refuse to pay bounty programs, and refuse to fix the security vulnerabilities, there’s just no way to do security research.

If you don’t wanna get hit by security issues, get as far away as possible from these companies.

Tbf, since I have done this some 2-3 times:

Some special shampoos require you to be sitting there for like 10 minutes until it does its thing. I thought it was safe since water was no longer coming out of the shower, I didn’t consider the high humidity environment.

You went through my comment history and quoted me, to just not read the whole quote.

Here, I’ll help you:

It’s fine if someone already answered with what you were going to answer. You can just upvote that guy and move on.

As I said, there are already 3 top comments explaining to you why you’re being downvoted. I don’t need to explain myself when I mostly agree with them, I just upvote them.

If everyone had to explain every downvote, we would have hundreds of comments on each post, and most of them would say the same thing.

There are at least 3 comments with well laid arguments (hint, they have way more up votes than the post). You have answered to none of them.

No. The problem is that kids have nothing else to do. The only fun thing left is the phone.

They can’t go alone and play out there, they may get hit by a car or their parents might get in trouble. They have to always be supervised by an adult, but there are almost no places with adults to watch for the kids, they have to bring their dedicated parent. And parents have to work way too many hours, they don’t have time to watch the kid play for all the time the kid needs to play.

Furthermore, everything that is fun to kids is illegal. “No skating here”, “no playing with a ball here”. Where can kids play? They don’t have a car to go to a remote place where playing is allowed. They should have areas where they can play relatively close to home.

And I say this as a European. In America all these problems are 10x worse, I can’t imagine what that would do to a kid. Maybe the suburbanites can play in their lawns. But the ones in cities are out of luck.
