4chan will sue the UK trying to hold them responsible for UK law, in US court. Foreign judgement limiting freedom of speech. Seems to be in line with their strategy of not being an UK company so not paying fines: “Your laws don’t apply to us. Hell, they aren’t even constitutional!”.

Verqix@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic DisasterEnglish0·3 months agoI don’t understand how this works out badly for the person using a debit card. You pay for the vehicle and if they try to make you pay more you ask for proof and if you don’t get it you walk away.
Or do they require a collateral fee when renting?
Or “keep your nose out of others business”, “je neus uit andermans zaken houden”
Verqix@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•why are website language switchers in the current language?0·4 months agoHave the language in the current language setting and the target language native tongue so you would get フランス語 / French “Alphabetic” sorting would be difficult, so it wouldn’t be perfect, but at least a lot more understandable. Still, just having a search option would fix that easily.
Verqix@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•'I've been turned into an AI train announcer - and no one told me'English0·4 months agoWhat you really don’t understand is, AI making an original voice is a pipe dream. You can average out voices of many different people who all had their content stolen. Originality is outside of its training set.
Too lazy to meal prep you say?
Verqix@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there an easy way to remotely monitor another person's pulse?0·5 months agoStreamers sometimes use a heart rate monitor widget on stream. There might be multiple solutions here but checking out pulsoid.net it seems like a free solution can be made here if it is compatible with the smart watch used. Android app to webpage might be possible with setting up a local host server. Don’t know what it’ll do to the battery life of your watch and if the widget works without OBS integration. Maybe someone familiar with this can weigh in?
Never heard of this, but you are likely to be deemed at fault due to reckless driving above certain speeds.
But it’s also difficult to prove you didn’t make it similarly 2 times. Just do some name changing, reordering and some slight changes and you should be golden.

Might have been a heart-felt warning against vigilantes.Also, the “next” thing might well have been “…to get much needed care denied”.
Legally this is so flimsy it’s a waste of time. Looking at wording from politicians there’s way more direct calls to violence which will never be prosecuted. In practice it shows the pull of big corporations with cops, and inconveniences the life of an already inconvenienced person.
Verqix@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•College students used Meta’s smart glasses to dox people in real time0·1 year agoFull face tattoo and getting multiple people on board might do the trick for however long until additional markers are found for the edge case. I think clown makeup would do better since it varies day to day.

Shoebox is a nice idea, but now I’m wondering how big the pills would be…
Verqix@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Google blasted for AI that refuses to say how many Jews were killed by the Nazis0·1 year agoWould expect a lot of models to struggle with making the pope female, making the pope black, or making a black female a pope unless they build in some kind of technique to make replacements. Thing is, a neural net reproduces what you put into it, and I assume the bias is largely towards old white men since those images are way more readily found.
Even targeted prompts, like a zebra with rainbow colored stripes, had very limited results 6 monts ago where there would be at least 50% non black and white stripes. I had to generate multiple times with a lot of negative terms just to get close. Currently, the first generation of copilot matches my idea behind the prompt.
Clearly the step made was a big one, and I imagine tuning was done to ensure models capable of returning more diverse results rather just what is in the data set. It just has more unexpected results and less historically accurate images for these kind of prompts. And some that might be quite painful. Still, being always underrepresented in data sets is also quite painful. Hard to get to a perfect product quickly, but there should be a feature somewhere on their backlog to by default prevent some substitutions. Black, female popes when requesting a generated pope? To me that is a horizon broadening feature. Black, female nazis when requesting nazis? Let that not be a default result.

Does that at all invalidate the argument that humans have changed the way, speed and reach of viral infections and viral mutations? It’s like saying humans have always gathered in groups. Sure, but modern metropolitan areas come with their own challenges that differ from tribal cultures.
Poultry that has been bred in a way that reduces variety, with more on a certain square footage, with more being transported outside of their natural habitat and migratory range. The problem shouldn’t be exaggerated, but human influence shouldn’t be ignored.
Verqix@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•First case of walrus dying from bird flu recorded in Arctic0·1 year agoBird flu and quick spread of it is likely caused by massive poultry farms, human induced transfer by trade, and transference from contaminated boots combined with travel.
Verqix@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•The US loses to Russia and China in popularity across Africa0·1 year agoUnless people in Africa became more educated, so it feels a bit easy to just disregard them. Also, people often don’t change their mind overnight.
Correct, the “obsolete” PCs can’t update to Windows 11. The Windows 11 update forces certain hardware support that a lot of devices don’t have. The security this hardware provides is mainly in someone physically removing data from your PC. As such it’s very business oriented but affects all versions of Windows 11.
