  • California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup

    Jump

  • Am I missing something or would the following not meet the requirements?

    Add a module that does the following:

    On first account login to an interactive interface, ask for an age category (<=13, 15-15,16-17,18+). So a value between 0 and 3. Store that somewhere alongside user-level application settings. Include a library for applications to link against. Library contains one function, that function just returns whatever value was stored before.

    I think that meets their bare minimum while also demonstrating just how dumb this is.

  • Were they? I've never seen any real evidence to support that.

    Post 8chan Q is very probably Ron Watkins, 4chan era Q is less certain but there are indications it was a South African software developer named Paul Furber.

    Not saying they didn't take their marching orders from Bannin or Epstein, but I'd want evidence of such. And no, the evidence that Epstein played a role in /pol/ existing at all isn't enough on its own.

  • Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

  • Really? I would have figured the Rapture route would be workable with the right engineering. Especially given the massive amounts of borderline free cooling and non-existing regulatory environment if outside territorial waters.

  • Adding one more person adds more than one comparison. Assuming birthdays are evenly distributed (they aren't), 2 people have a 1/365.25 chance of sharing a birthday. But adding a third person adds 2 more chances. Adding that 23rd person adds 22 more chances than adding the 22nd person. 1+2+3...+22=253 separate checks, of which only one needs to match.

  • Maybe they just don't know any better

  • People at the heads of nonprofits are often highly compensated, and it's rare that any of them solve the underlying problem or even make meaningful headway. It's why there is so much "awareness" and short term band aids involved. A nonprofit that solves the problem it's supposedly trying to solve has no reason to exist and will cost people well paying jobs managing it.

  • in Canada, basically if it’s not winter (hard to drive because of conditions and almost complete lack of visibility of the road and signs), it’s road construction time…

    You'll note that Waymo is really only launched in places that tend to have mostly pleasant weather most of the time, because the tech is relatively new (but probably already much better than human drivers most of the time - humans are broadly awful at driving so that doesn't take much) and they don't want to try it against the much more difficult conditions in many places yet.

  • Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses

    Jump

  • I would hope it would collapse under 24A if nothing else, but I don't trust our current SCOTUS that far. Best to be prepared for it than to hope it fails.

  • Nah. This isn't that. It's bullshit, it's unnecessarily cruel, but "get a new ID with the M or F switched to the one you don't identify with" isn't all that relevant to SAVE when either way that ID alone wouldn't qualify as documentary proof of United States citizenship per SAVE. If you're already taking time out to go to the DMV though, you may as well get what you were already going to need to meet SAVE while you're out and dealing with government bureaucrats. See this as an excuse to get the other sorted too.

    Seriously though, everyone needs to read SAVE and ensure you have what you need. Do it now, don't wait until the election. Don't even wait until SAVE passes. Be prepared for what they want to pull before they succeed at pulling it, because after they're only going to make it harder.

  • You'll have to get a passport or move to one of the 5 states with an enhanced driver's license that meets the requirements under section 2(b)(1).

  • I mean yeah, it's almost certainly unconstitutional under 24A. But theat requires a SCOTUs who cares about the law and the constitution instead of putting Heritage first, Trump second and all that other stuff a distant third.

  • Again, read SAVE instead of making assumptions based on practices of other agencies that are tangentially related.

    Jump

  • SAVE calls for "documentary proof of United States citizenship", which it defines in the act itself. A RealID that also verifies citizenship counts (normal RealID doesn't, and only 5 states that offer an "enhanced driver's license" do), so does a passport, a military ID combined with a record of service indicating you were born in the US, a federal, state, or tribal photo ID showing your place of birth was in the US or a federal, state or tribal photo ID combined with a birth or naturalization record.

    Most people will fall in that last category. And most valid birth records explicitly require the record be of the same name. The big question I'm not sure of is if in all the small changes amended to the law by SAVE if documentary proof of United States Citizenship is required to vote or merely to register.

  • Does SAVE require documentary proof of citizenship to vote, or just to register? As I understand it, documentary proof of citizenship is the specific requirement that's hard for anyone who has had a change of name to meet short of a passport or an EDL in the 5 states that offer one.

  • Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?"

    Jump

  • There are models with open weights, and you can run those locally on your GPU. It can be a bit slower depending on model and GPU. For example, GLM has an open version, both full and pruned, but it's not the newest version. A bunch of image generation models have local versions too.

    Jump

  • The whole premise of deep think and similar in other models is to come up with an answer, then ask itself if the answer is right and how it could be wrong until the result is stable.

    The seahorse emoji question is one that trips up a lot of models (it's a Mandela effect thing where it doesn't exist but lots of people remember it and as a consequence are firm that it's real), I asked GLM 4.7 about it with deep think on and it wrote about two dozen paragraphs trying to think of everywhere a seahorse emoji could be hiding, if it was in a previous or upcoming standard, if maybe there was another emoji that might be mistaken for a seahorse, etc, etc. It eventually decided that it didn't exist, double checked that it wasn't missing anything, and gave an answer.

    It was startlingly like stream of consciousness of someone experiencing the Mandela effect trying desperately to find evidence they were right, except it eventually gave up and realized the truth.

    EDIT: Spelling. Really need to proofread when I do this kind of thing on my phone.

  • Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump

  • He's trying to take them down from the inside.

    From the inside of an underaged girl, maybe.

    Does that make blowing bubba collecting evidence?
