Man accused of using generative AI to create virus in Japan 1st (mainichi.jp)

TOKYO -- A 25-year-old man has been served a fresh arrest warrant for allegedly creating a computer virus using generative artificial intelligence (AI), the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD)'s cybercrime control division announced on May 28, in what is believed to be the first such case in Japan....

Japan has a suspiciously high conviction rate though (>99%). They either don't even go for criminals they are not sure about or there's some form of tampering going on. Hard to say.

i tried bing again on my phone the other day and instead of results it showed me an overlay saying i should use microsoft edge. needless to say, i just closed the tab instead of the overlay and tried the next search engine.

shareholder power is limited. best they can do is vote against top executive pay until they get to install one who does what they want.

the shareholder value stuff is mostly talk of non-shareholders, because if you hold shares, you notice it doesn't work that way.

lurch ,

it's still ignoring your manually set browser language preferences and is instead using your IP to guess your location and use the primary language of that country, because google is shite

lurch ,

probably requires you to keep its cookies

bing started doing it a bit too and DDG is using both their indexes/results

I'm really annoyed by how much Brave Search is pushing AI

I've been using Brave Search supplemented by Startpage for the past 2+ years. When I search for something, I want to get results for credible webpages, not a summary of unknown quality. I liked the previous AI inclusion because it was instant, didn't take up much space, and I could quickly navigate to the websites referenced in...

lurch ,

I'm trying SearXNG at the moment. Seems better and faster then all others so far.

Before that I tried gibiru.com and mojeek.com but wasn't satisfied with results or indexes.

sorry, most are too private to post them here, but an exception was:

MySQL RAND

I expected to find the actual manual page from dev.mysql.com , but it wasn't even in the first few pages.

lurch ,

apparently fools consider a finished app "dead" or "abandoned" if there isn't a new release every week. so yeah, dev's will just change a comment to not have their apps shunned

lurch ,

there's some stuff image generating AI just can't do yet. it just can't understand some things. a big problem seems to be referring to the picture itself, like position or its border. another problem is combining things that usually don't belong together, like a skin of sky. those are things a human artist/designer does with ease.

lurch ,

the shred command in Linux tries to do this, but it may not work if the hardware moves rewritten data blocks around to mitigate wear.

lurch ,

at the moment we have to accept we can't please everyone. if people bully maintainers, they can gtfo and fork. same if you get bullied by maintainers, just fork and forget. maybe join with likeminded people if it's too much work.

ah the infamous NaN lumber 🤣

This is the way

that works, but a regular SOCKS proxy should do. for HTTP even a HTTP proxy. many VPN providers offer them too, btw.. may help with mitigating this attack vector.

lurch ,

it actually eats ram and preserves cookies tho

lurch ,

don't get my hopes up

lurch ,

The problem is bureaucratic: Using them with Wine is not the manufacturers intent, so it may break for a while and theres nothing the manufacturer will do to fix it. The companies of the users often don't dare rely on this. It's also why some companies require to use redhat or ubuntu for a distro, because they don't dare running anything without a support contract. They think that way there's someone external to blame, call for help or sue, if things break. I'm not a fan of this, but encountered it a few times on different jobs. At my current job one of our clients has this with redhat and tbh they actually had to call redhat support twice this year, because their server got messed up during upgrades.

lurch ,

No, that's a good choice. It reminds you to be cautious when logging in.

Some people have trouble remembering 2 and set both to the same. It's probably better to use sudo instead.

    lmao the encyclongs raiding the villages again. genius. never heard of that before either. 🤣

    AFAIK the "terminal ads" were suggesting Ubuntu Pro when using the package management. It's very far away from actual ads. Just the free version suggesting the paid one. Not ad space sold to third parties.

    lurch ,

    you can't say that about all of them. it's just a small fraction

    lurch ,

    ok. not gonna be an investor now. good advice 👍

    (not that i planned to, but ok)

    lurch ,

    Unfortunately that's true for all but the Fairphone ones. I have multiple. All other true wireless and also most with one wire behind the neck are not worth fixing. Non-Apple brands are cheaper though. Philips ones are like 50 €, for example. If they die after years that's less bad.

    even though this may be inconvenient, it will likely help migrating good content to less shitty platforms/companies in the long run.

    once the 2M subs are inactive because they got annoyed its the logical step to move to regain them

    lol, can't wait for my Klein bottle shaped package

    lurch ,

    I'm watching it since the door fell off, but it's barely moving. It's still in the price range it was in the last 4 years 🤷

    lurch ,

    yes, but the door fell off while it was already halfway down that slope. in fact, days after the door fell off, it stopped falling until about march. so i assume this is within it's normal mid term volatility. when you look at the last 3 or 4 years, it's going up and down around the range it's in now. so if you buy now, considering only it's past developments, it's completely uncertain where it will go.

    I'm in EU, so about 117€ or less. (that's what i set my alert to)

    lurch ,

    i wouldn't call this a rebellion or battle. it's just government trying to find the right tool for the job.

    lurch ,

    in the company, i'm employed in, yes. it allows to hire people far off for remote work.

    lurch ,

    this is so silly. you need to connect the speaker to the turbine for it to be perpetual. otherwise it's sokar powered duh

    lurch ,

    😅 it's a good typo. it stays.

    linux is caching a lot, if there's enough RAM. you can see it in the output of the "free" command.

    however, nothing stops you from moving all the stuff you frequently use to a ramdisk. it's just uncomfortable copying it over and refreshing it as updates come in. also you may want to persist some files.

    personally i have my shader caches on a ramdisk on some of my boxes. the gains are minimal.

    lurch ,

    I think it just needs Captcha when adding a new entry.

    Why do we have to do the health insurance company's job for them?

    Just so tired of almost every time a doctor submits stuff to insurance, we have to be the ones to make multiple phone calls to both the doctor's office and insurance to iron everything out, figure out what the issue is (it's always a different issue), and basically be the go-between for the office and insurance. What am I...

    lurch ,

    Yeah, I'm in EU and I have never ever contacted my health insurance since the day I chose it. They just send me new insurance cards every couple of years and once they sent a letter that said they have an app that lets me get doctors appointments more easy etc.
