artifex@lemmy.zipto Cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works•OpenAI's ChatGPT-powered browser is codenamed 'Aura'English9·30 days agoNo, it’s better than that. It’s a chromium browser that does the browsing for you!

artifex@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•COVID cases likely rising in half of states, CDC estimates8·1 month agoOr if in FL, it’s simply not a thing we’re allowed to track.
artifex@lemmy.zipto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that apart from not having a car and voting, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat.18·1 month agoIf it’s any consolation, at least a kilo of coffee is many more servings than a kilo of beef.
For anyone who checks the comments I have a question unrelated to the content - when you see an article like this that you know has incorrect information, do you tend to upvote (to give visibility to the corrected info in the comments) or downvote it (because it’s incorrect in the first place)?
I buy DVD/Blu-Ray collections and rip them. Facebook marketplace (the only thing I would ever think of using FB for, and obviously in a containered browser, etc), OfferUp, EBay, etc make it more affordable, and also really make me realize how little I want to bother having a copy of.
artifex@lemmy.zipto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that in 1959, the CIA secretly stole and reverse-engineered a Soviet moon probe during a public exhibition in Mexico City.English6·2 months agoThanks for posting the summary. I originally thought it was going to be something like that James Bond movie where the nose cone of the rocket opens up and “eats” the satellite.
artifex@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.ml•Meta Secures Bittersweet Fair Use Victory in AI 'Piracy' Case * TorrentFreak4·2 months agoSo yesterday’s Anthropic victory said that the use of copyrighted works to train LLMs was fair use, but only because Anthropic had been buying and scanning in the media so the first sale doctrine was protecting them. Did the judge in the facebook case now really say that it was ok to pirate the materials in the first place because there was no market harm? That seems impossible, it seems like it would open up a huge loophole in copyright law.
artifex@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is NotEnglish1251·2 months agoAh the old “owe $100 and the bank owns you; owe $100,000,000 and you own the bank” defense.
artifex@lemmy.zipto Technology@beehaw.org•A US law firm is taking NordVPN to Court over "deceptive" auto-renewal pricing – here's what we know14·2 months agoFYI many credit cards will allow you to make virtual numbers which you can then use for individual purchases or groups of purchases. They were originally meant to help combat fraud but I use them for subscription services so that if they give me a hard time about quitting I can simply cancel the card number and file a dispute (which in my few experiences has always gotten me my “overage” fees back)
artifex@lemmy.zipOPto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL the first use of the term "brain rot" was in Henry David Thoreau's WaldenEnglish2·2 months agoYes, but you can medicate ADHD. There’s no entry in the DSM for brain rot (yet).
artifex@lemmy.zipOPto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL the first use of the term "brain rot" was in Henry David Thoreau's WaldenEnglish8·2 months agoAgreed. I think I’m fairly well read and I’ve worked through a decent number of philosophical texts, but I’ve never finished Walden.
artifex@lemmy.zipto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Question about harware Raid vs Truenas poolsEnglish12·2 months agoThe safest and most flexible option would be to configure the BIOS to not use the RAID controller and just “see” the drives as a regular JBOD, and then setup a ZFS RAID-Z1 array and configure your zvols, etc. in that instead. RAID-Z1 is functionally very similar to old-school RAID-5. There’s virtually no performance penalty with software RAID these days, and you’re eliminating the proprietary RAID controller as a single point of failure.

artifex@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify usersEnglish198·2 months agoOn the one hand, I understand the inherent limitations of pseudonymous social media and why a corporation and even end users might benefit from authoritative user identification.
On the other hand, oh hell no.

artifex@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•The world could experience a year above 2°C of warming by 2029English446·2 months agoAs stupid as this sounds I think we (and really the media, but we know which side they’re on) should be doing this in F for US audiences. Saying “hey, it’s now 5°F hotter than it was in the 1970s” is more immediately meaningful — and the bigger number looks scarier too.
Do it! Do it! Do it!
