I'm left wondering how secure third party devices with notification access are. Smart watches, cars, and even bluetooth speakers get notifications and often have direct internet access. If they're not already being used to sniff data from notifications, they sure will be after this 404 Media...

Does anyone have advice for how to run local models on android phones? Specifically, I'd like to run Gemma E4B on a Pixel in airplane mode.

Weird. Has there been any flight activity recorded since the closure? How about satellite imagery of activity at the airport since? Update: (copied from NYT reporting, emphasis added by me)

Message encryption is nice, but what model(s) are being used? Can we add Confer on top of our own models?

Shout out to AdGuard and PiHole for blocking all my Smart TV's telemetry nonsense

DEI and "woke" criticism has just devolved in decades-old talking points around "PC culture". Many critics haven't even bothered to learn about the intent or practices involved.

How many years until grandma's chat and photo history becomes public domain? Photos and letters are regularly sold at estate sales, why not hard drive contents?

serious question: are you suggesting actual accountability or some type of karmic justice? If the former, who will hold him accountable in any meaningful way?

It feels like a big journalistic miss to not mention the whistleblower complaint sent to the Senate Intelligence Committee and witness intimidation after alleging DOGE seemingly gave remote access admin credentials to Russian state actors, downloaded copies of sensitive data, and made...

As someone who had a severe adverse reaction to the covid vaccine, I still think it's incredibly stupid to prevent other people from being able to get it. Just because something doesn't have a 100% efficacy rate doesn't mean it can't be highly useful from a public health perspective. Also...

The purpose of hiring private companies is deniability. This is why NSO was sued and not CIA or Mossad. NSO has close ties to both agencies and was created by veterans of Unit 8200. Check out Nicole Perlroth's book This is How They Tell Me the World Ends to learn more about the market for...

I choked on my food laughing when I read this part. Incredible comedic timing.

Are there any rules around minimum levels of involvement to be the CEO of a public company? If average employees are required to work in person and be drug tested, why shouldn't the CEO? side note: I also believe all congresspeople should be drug tested and required to participate in at...

Is there any information on the cost to run GPT-4 vs 4o? Wouldn't it be interesting if they open-sourced retired products?

I agree that individual rights matter and people should be entitled to having bloodwork and genetic screenings done. However, genetic information reveals much more information than what could be considered public records. We don't even know all that we're giving away. We're talking about the...

This is essentially how they caught the Golden State Killer/Original Night Stalker/E.A.R. back in 2018. His family member used a DNA service (not 23andme) that shared customer genetic information with authorities. They identified a familial match from their evidence database and hunted him...
