Lawyers gonna lawy.

Is there a standards body web developers should rely on, which suggests requiring MFA for every account? OWASP, for example, only recommends requiring it for administrative users, but for giving regular users the option without requiring it.

There’s some positives to requiring MFA for all users, but like any decision there’s trade offs. How can we throw 23andme under the bus when they were compliant with industry best practices?

the volume of actual AI misinformation is going to pale in comparison to the volume of people trying to use AI misinformation as a boogeyman to scare you into voting a certain way.

Hah, all the drama over Tesla issuing automatic updates and calling them “recalls”… at least they’re able to update their software.

A better solution, experts say, would be to require Tesla to use cameras to monitor drivers’ eyes to make sure they’re watching the road. Some Teslas do have interior-facing cameras. But they don’t see well at night, unlike those in General Motors or Ford driver monitoring systems, said Philip Koopman, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who studies vehicle automation safety.

In case you were wondering who wrote the article

Tesla told the woman that it could not remove her husband’s access to the car’s technology because his name remained on the vehicle’s title as a co-owner, along with hers, according to records she filed in her lawsuit.

This sounds like a problem courts needed to resolve, not Tesla. They don’t reasonably know which spouse has legal possession of the car.

Every tech demo ever is fake, with the possible exception of the original Cybertruck demo, but I suspect even that one just wasn’t faked very well.

Subjective biases can play a huge part in stuff like this. The researchers behind this story had to go through a bunch of YouTube channels and determine whether they constitute extremist right wing content or not.

I think it’s a safe assumption that if you took the people consuming that content and asked them whether the video they just watched was right wing extremist content, most of them would say no.

So, it’s possible that you don’t think you’re being overwhelmed with right wing extremist content, but that somebody else looking at your viewing history might think you are.

We should give them some of those cluster bombs we gave to Ukraine.

Cars made of metal do more damage when running down pedestrians than cars made of nerf do. Is the solution to make all cars out of nerf, or to stop running down pedestrians?

Nah. Microsoft engineered this whole thing to weaken the boards power and ripen OpenAI up as a less expensive acquisition target.

Just write headlines like this and charge people extra if they want punctuation.

You just went from complaining about having to manually trust certificates, to acting like you’d be ok having to install a browser plugin that tells you which certs to trust….

Why did you need government regulation to solve the original problem? Couldn’t you have just installed a plugin for it?

Uh, it’s not that they made her look white. They made her look like a Romulan.

Maybe they’ll roll Hulu’s content into Disney+ without raising prices.

Without raising prices, right?

Is it wrong to monetize newspapers or documentaries? This is journalism too, and the people who document it deserve compensation for the work they do.

It’s good to bring exposure to these types of issues, even if the only way to do that is through a commercial platform. There’s nothing wrong with monetizing this.

Headline: “let’s anyone you follow potentially call you up”

Article: “To be able to call someone, they must have sent at least one direct message to your account.”

This makes total sense. Your DM conversation has too much back and forth so you say “let’s take it to an audio or video call”, and then hash it out in person.

There’s a reason Slack has this exact same feature…

I just don’t want to hire the sort of person who posts their opinions about world politics on LinkedIn, regardless of what particular opinion that is. LinkedIn is for work stuff, and I don’t want to work with people who can’t separate that stuff from work.

I still think it’s theoretically possible to do a touch interface right… but nobody has figured it out yet. Any interaction that requires you to navigate between multiple menus while driving is doing it wrong, but if you could get all the relevant buttons on screen, in predictable enough locations that people can click them while driving, it could work….

But at that point I’m not sure there’s much benefit to the screen vs physical buttons.
