I'm telling you as a blanket statement that AI Translators are not reliable. That much is easily verifiable. You're the one speaking in riddles of a magical translator in the fogs of firefox that does work, with no evidence.

So you don't know the name of the model they use? Is it even accessible?

You want examples but you never disclosed which product you're asking about, and why should I give a damn in the first place? I shouldn't have to present an absence of evidence of it working to prove it doesn't work.

LLM and ML generated translations generate a series of tokens individually. That's why AI Chatbots hallucinate so often, they decide the next most likely word in a sequence is "No" when the correct answer would be "Yes" and then the rest of the prompt devolves into convincing nonsense. Machines are incapable of any sort of critical thinking to discern correct from incorrect to decide whether to use contextual responses.

Sentences are a lot like math problems. An incorrect part changes the entire outcome.

The Mozilla Corporation is a for profit entity owned by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, which lets them claim to be a nonprofit, which is a sketchy looking way to set up and promote your business if nothing else. They get most of their money from Google and they've been riding AI like all the other unethical companies.
I see absolutely no reason to give them a chance, either. Just use an actual open source build instead of the mainstream one.
80% of AI projects so far...
It's an issue in many other countries as well and there are a great many contributing factors.
- Race and "Tough on Crime" politics - Ever since the emancipation of slaves on the basis of race, there have been political figures passing discriminatory policy that allows police to pursue and harass people at their own discretion: black laws, Jim Crow era laws, forced segregation, the 1994 Crime Bill, etc.
“We have to strengthen our laws when it comes to mob violence, to make sure individuals are unequivocally dissuaded from committing violence when they’re in large groups,” Florida state Rep. Juan Fernandez-Barquin, a Republican, said during a hearing for an anti-riot bill that was enacted in April.
It's clear that you can convince people to deregulate and militarize the police if you convince those people they have a greater enemy. You can see these stances and policy directions mirrored across Europe as refugees and immigration from poorer countries have increased in the last decade.
- Lack of Centralization - The FBI is in charge of investigating police departments, and sometimes you see jurisdiction overlaps which allows other agencies like the DEA, State Marshals, Sheriff's Department, etc to investigate each other, but in general a Police Department is held to no standard but their own until things have already escalated past a point of return.
Some federal programs have tried rewarding PDs that behave well and adhere to specific training or standards, but it's far from enforced.
TBF though, US use of force has been underreported and lacked nationwide statistics for most of the previous decades. If I'm not mistaken, one of the federal agencies who attempted to track it stopped giving annual reports in 2017? Idk I'm kind of fuzzy about that.
Nah it ain't

Thank you for your explanation, tbat greatly clears up my confusion.
TBH, if a person's concern is being tracked by, for example, Facebook; then this just lets Facebook continue tracking them without directly allowing Facebook's anaylitics customers to track them to another site directly (but indirectly that information can still be provided). But I guess for all the people giving FB and Google those proviledges better to have this than not.

I still much rather have it than not. It also lead to the spiritual successor GPC which does actually have regulatory requirements under the CCPA.

I didn't, but I would have gone to see it if I knew.
Because our metric for good and bad is whether or not a large number of people payed to see it.
Hollywood Accounting might see it as a loss, but sometimes they seem to want to kill a project for shits and giggles, like they did to Treasure Planet.
You want to know how to make almost every movie a good movie? Target the correct audiences.
For supposed anarchists they seem to say exactly the same things as a CCP cuck would. They banned me for arguing on a meme they posted about how awful "Western Democracies" are.
Rather than number of unique applications, I meant amount of traffic when I said "most."
Stock exchanges, some but not all streaming services, gaming, and any form of direct human communication over internet would be heavily impacted. It could also potentially increase frequency of timeouts during authentication attempts which would make everything else slightly more annoying to use as well.

Yeah, Waterfox is just another browser built on top of the Mozilla's GECKO engine. But without all the AI dickriding.
Facbook recieved the mother of all fines of 5 Bn USD and lost 725 Mn USD in lawsuits over Cambridge Analytica despite there not being any evidence Facebook new of the firm's connection to Russia.
Any notion that they profited from that scandal or would do so in the future is pretty absurd.
China is hostile. They're a military expansionist dictatorship who routinely expesses malcontent towards the USA amd allies. They would pay good money to fuck us over.

Do Gen Z still think Guitars are cool?
I notice that now, more than ever before, new upcoming artists' and alternative music is heavily pop-oriented, synthesized, and digital.
Is it just easier for them or do Gen Z not have the fondness for guitar that dominated the 1980s to the 2010s?

I'm planning a small free poker tournament amongst gamers on May 15th, anybody interested?


House Rules:
5 Sequential Cards high value > 5 Sequential Cards low value > 4 of a kind high value > 4 of a kind low value > 3 of a kind high value> 3 of a kind low value > 2 of a kind high value > 2 of a kind low value
Aces worth more than Kings for pairing, but a sequence of Ace to 5 is a low value sequence
Only Numbers are considered, signs like clubs/spades/hearts/diamond don't count towards pairs.
If you tie then the point pool is split. Everybody starts at 0 and their scores go negative as they play the first round until they win.
Each player ante the entry and is given 5 face down cards of which 3 are revealed immediately. Folding means you lose the entry, staying means you pay an additional amount equal to entry, you can double the bet for this phase (double the entry adding up to triple the initial ante total) and force every player to do the same or fold, and a new card is revealed. This repeats a second time so that all 5 cards are now known to you.
Finally, everyon

Here's the full text of the “PROTECTING AMERICANS’ DATA FROM FOREIGN ADVERSARIES ACT OF 2024” currently in in the resolving difference phase before the POTUS signs it. UPDATED 4/24 for Accuracy
UPDATE: Adding Division H as well since it's very relevant, before it was just Division I shown here
DIVISION H—PROTECTING AMERICANS FROM FOREIGN ADVERSARY CONTROLLED APPLICATIONS ACT
SEC. 1. SHORT TITLE. This division may be cited as the “Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act”.
SEC. 2. PROHIBITION OF FOREIGN ADVERSARY CONTROLLED APPLICATIONS. (a) In General.—
(1) PROHIBITION OF FOREIGN ADVERSARY CONTROLLED APPLICATIONS.—It shall be unlawful for an entity to distribute, maintain, or update (or enable the distribution, maintenance, or updating of) a foreign adversary controlled application by carrying out, within the land or maritime borders of the United States, any of the following:

How to Temporarily Bypass Discord ToS Update
Steps
1: Use browser Addon uBlock Origin or other extension for picking and disabling HTML such as Tampermonkey etc.
- Open Discord in Browser
- Pick and make filter against elements:
undefined
discord.com##.scrollerBase__65223.thin__62e51.content_b28aab discord.com##.rootWithShadow_d20cd6.fullscreenOnMobile__05784.small_f8e677.root_a28985 discord.com##.withLayer__29ace.backdrop__1a911
NOTE: This will also bug the preview for files when you click them, but it's still usable.
For those of you who wish to backup Discord posts and conversations, you have a few choices.
- If you are very tech-savvy you can transfer everything over to a Matrix Self-Host, then take it offline so that it functions as a storage medium.
- You can use several open source tools such as Tyrrrz's discord chat exporter
Be warned: leaking your Discord User Authentication Token could be potentially harmful.

Discord would have made a better name for a decentralized network and Matrix would have been better for a private company.

Dear Lemmings/Lemmites/Lemmitors and CCP Bots, what Database do you recommend?
EDIT: You don't have to answer for my specific purposes, if you use a database for any purpose yourself then please share and tell what and why.
I'm not planning to host any fediverse or mastodon instances just yet, but maybe a private email server and porting a discord channel to matrix might be in my future.
What do you use and why? Is it limited to a specific OS, and if you were on a different OS then what would you be using instead? Do you think server hardware is required for most operability or can a good desktop computer and internet speed suffice as long as downtime isn't a problem?

Are there other places I can report it to? Is it possible I could send it further up the federation chain and maybe they could build a filter for it?
