  in my sentence the rapist part was relative to the one that was killed in prison, not the real scientist

  The Epstein PR team at the time was doing a “sciencewashing” operation donating millions of dollars everywhere to let the rapist appear as a genuine philanthropist

  Unless they buy returned books for pennies

  Or books retired from libraries (saw many stamps on scans on 70s books from internet archive that implied disposal from some American library)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not secret, it was their defence when they got sued for copyright infringement. Instead of download all the books from Anna’s archive like meta, they buy a copy, cut the binding, scan it, then destroy it. “We bought a copy for personal use then use the content for profit, it’s not piracy”

  my reasoning is that forwarding can fail, while if i just connect to POP and get everything in bulk, i don’t have problems

  also: forwarding changes the original headers, and if i forward spam my provider gets pissed

  I’m using Gmail as an email client. I tell Gmail to go to fetch emails from my other accounts and so I have unified email. I don’t use @gmail.com as my primary address.

  Problem: from today Google discontinued the feature and they warned me only yesterday.

  Which webmail has almost feature parity with Gmail?

  I need filters and fetching emails from multiple accounts. I have a dedicated server so the part of fetching email can be done from an external program

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You need to do a custom program if you want to do that. I mean a traditional program where variables are stored properly.

  The models have no memory at all, at every question it starts from scratch, so the clients are just “pretending” it has a memory by simply including all previous questions and answers in your last query. You reply “ok”, but the model is getting thousands of words with all the history.

  Because each question becomes exponentially expensive, at some point it starts to prune old stuff. It either truncates the content (for example the completely useless meta ai chatbot that WhatsApp forced down the throat loses context after 2-3 questions) or it uses the model itself to have a condensed resume of past interactions, but this is how it hallucinates.

  Otherwise it will cost like $1 per question and more

  API calls are already only paid, no?

  I’m guessing the ads will be embedded in the answers of the free users (like: it will add to the prompt something like “and don’t forget to plug the sponsor, ridge wallet”)

  Stock market capitalization bigger than all the European and American car brands COMBINED but they only sell two very similar vehicles. Makes sense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok claimed bugs blocked anti-ICE videos, Epstein mentions; experts call BS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the idea of a federated version of that, but there are many problems:

  1. When people scroll, they need an algorithm to choose content for them.
  2. 99% of average TikTok content is low quality shit and it’s the algorithm to find and promote what works
  3. All that 99% of shit is occupying exabytes on bytedance servers. Users are uploading terabytes of shit every hour, it’s impossibile for a federated instance to keep all this shit on disk. Look how Lemmy is designed for example. I upload an image and then it’s stored forever in hundreds of instances. For videos is untenable. Only companies that are profiting from this (for example using such videos for training ai models, or using this videos to hook people and serve them highly personalized ads) can host a TikTok clone

  The Microsoft Teams with the purple icon and white accent, or the Microsoft Teams with the white icon and purple accent?

  If the password is long 15 characters that means you use a password manager. At that point just put the bitlocker password in the password manager

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Images patched by Rufus can definitely pass secureboot, as long the bootloader wasn’t touched. Secureboot only checks the signature of the bootloader, not every single file of the operating system, otherwise it will take hours to boot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you read the news about how nowadays is almost impossible to use Windows 11 without a Microsoft account?

  When/if any user uses the computer with a Microsoft account, then the bitlocker decryption key is silently and automatically uploaded to Microsoft servers as a “safe backup” 😉

  It happened TWICE on my Lenovo laptop, when it automatically installed a firmware update from windows update

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In Windows 11, if the main user logs in with a Microsoft account (which is mandatory unless you do some hacks during the install), it automatically encrypts the main drive by default without asking the user consent and uploads the decryption key to Microsoft servers (again, without user consent, but usually this is appreciated because sometimes automatic BIOS updates via windows update wipe the tpm and keep all your data at ransom.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft gave FBI a set of BitLocker encryption keys to unlock suspects' laptops: Reports | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t this by design? Otherwise why keeping the decryption keys on servers located in the united states’?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Already before the LLMs for me it was the last chance before I would post over there. The desperation move. It was too toxic and I would always get pissed to get my question closed because too similar or too easy or whatever. Hey I wasted 15 minutes to type that, if the other question solved the problem I wouldn’t post again…

  In the beginning it wasn’t like that…

  I went to watch my stack overflow account and the first questions that I posted (and that gave me 2000 karma) would have been almost all of them rejected and removed
