You sly dog. Quit munching them spiders!

That’s actually the origin of the “average person eats 8 spiders per year” myth. Started for the reason of showing how fast false info spreads.

Holy shit lol this gave me a chuckle. Thanks for that.

Not everything is literal my guy. Try reading between the lines.

That’s my point though, those numbers are meaningless. What if I gave you these numbers:

White not on food stamps: 122.6 million

Black not on food stamps: 33.2 million

There are zero valid conclusions to be drawn.

Analyzing the actual numbers, it seems a random black person is 3x more likely to be on food stamps than a random white person in the US.

(0.25/0.13) / (0.38/0.59) = 2.99

When looking at stats, you shouldn’t look at absolute numbers, you need to look at distribution too. According to google US is approximately 59% white, and 13% black, and food stamp numbers are 38% white and 25% black. So there does seem to be truth to if you are black you are more likely to be on food stamps.

Systemic racism might play a factor here.

I was 100% expecting downvotes for quoting a paper and including the source. It’s fine.

Can you just read the document in full? It’s not that long. I don’t want to quote the whole thing.

It doesn’t record to device memory, it’s a continuously overwritten stream of data into the Secure Enclave.

This this absolutely nothing like what an off the shelf recording app would do, and it would be impossible for an app to access any part of this pipeline.

Yes technically there is a transcription step in this pipeline, as you referenced. But again, this is a continuously overwritten buffer inside of a black box where the output is a high level summary.

Did you read it? According to Apple it’s not recording. It’s also not transcribing, it’s just a summary.

That’s also not happening here.

It’s not recording. Here is the privacy paper if you’re interested.

I don’t agree it’s a separate issue. Sure you can add in more guardrails, and spend more time making the best prompt. But no matter what you do, at some point it WILL do something you either didn’t ask for, or explicitly told it not to do.

It helps, sure. But it still does stupid shit CONSTANTLY.

Yeah I assumed that’s what you meant. That machine still uses an SoC with embedded ram. It’s not possible to upgrade it.

It’s more repairable than previous designs, which is great, but that’s different than being upgradable.

I completely agree.

That’s why I disagree with your initial suggestion that someone who “doesn’t do politics” probably “doesn’t have the mental aptitude for it”.

To be fair it reads like you heavily correlate being political, to intellectual.

By that logic more political = more intelligent.

I understand you didn’t mean it that way, but it’s not hard to see why someone would assume that.

How does the new MacBook prove that? The way their processors are made it’s impossible to upgrade RAM after the fact.

Thanks for the proof! I stand corrected! I see basically the same but after the view link there is another think that bypasses it.

Must be difference between expired vs compromised cert.

Prediction markets are a shit show. 100% shouldn’t be allowed to exist.

I’m not against sports betting/casino gambling, but I really wish there would be some regulation.

The algorithm should detect problem gamblers and ban them, or have forced cooldowns, not encourage them to spend more.

You didn’t look hard enough. My router cert isn’t valid and I have to bypass the warning every time.
