- Comment on China's humanoid robots take centre stage for Lunar New Year showtime 1 week ago:
I watched part of the show, and was blown away when they started running towards trampolines, doing back flips in the air, and nailing the landings. They’ve gotten much better since last year’s presentation. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see one walking around with a rifle and checking papers in the next 10 years.

Sounds like I’ll need to include account deletion as a part of my will.

Whenever I’m in too deep in an online argument I’m comforted by the wise words of one Rick Sanchez:

- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 2 weeks ago:
We have a small group of 5-10 adults, so going back to Slack could be an option for us. Thing is some of the Discord integration with our server has helped solve issues in the past, so we might be putting ourselves at somewhat of a disadvantage by switching. It’s still early days, but it’s worth having the open discussion with your team and explore your alternatives.
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 2 weeks ago:
Age assurance is the foundation of this new experience and is designed to respect Discord users’ privacy and choice. Discord users can choose to use facial age estimation or submit a form of identification to its vendor partners, with more options coming in the future. Additionally, Discord will implement its age inference model, a new system that runs in the background to help determine whether an account belongs to an adult, without always requiring users to verify their age. Some users may be asked to use multiple methods if more information is needed to assign an age group.
Key privacy protections of Discord’s age-assurance approach include:
- On-device processing: Video selfies for facial age estimation never leave a user’s device.
- Quick deletion: Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.
- Straightforward verification: In most cases, users complete the process once and their Discord experience adapts to their verified age group. Users may be asked to use multiple methods only when more information is needed to assign an age group.
- Private status: A user’s age verification status cannot be seen by other users.
After completing a chosen method, users will receive confirmation via a direct message from Discord’s official account. A user’s assigned age group can also be viewed at any time in “My Account” settings. Users can always go to “My Account” settings to appeal their assigned age group by retrying the process. Discord prompts users to age-assure only within Discord and currently does not send emails or text messages about its age assurance process or results.
Not happy with the face-scanning either way. Gonna have a chat with some of my personal groups about how we might move forward.

On the other end of the spectrum are post descriptions that copy the entire article and you’re met with a giant wall of text. It’s about curation, folks!
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Hard agree. I tend to ignore posts that only provide a link and nothing else.
At the very least highlight something of the text in the post description that is worth reading to create a discussion, and then give us your two cents in the comments.

Thinking about this further down the road: What happens when the company stops making cars altogether or drops support? Do these smart cars still function without having to call home, or do they effectively become bricks on wheels?

- Comment on Bye, X: Europeans are launching their own social media platform, W 5 weeks ago:
Anna Zeiter, CEO of W, has told Bilanz.ch that W stands for “We.” Meanwhile, the first of the Vs that make up W stands for “Values,” and the second for “Verified.”
“The fact that W comes before X in the alphabet is certainly also a welcome coincidence,” Zeiter said.
Was curious if the”W” had a deeper meaning to it. Turns out it’s actually two V’s that form a “W”

- Comment on NordVPN denies breach claims, says attackers have "dummy data" 1 month ago:
"The leaked elements, such as the specific API tables and database schemas can only be artifacts of an isolated third-party test environment, containing only dummy data used for functionality checks. While no data in the dump points to NordVPN, we have contacted the vendor for additional information," NordVPN explained.
"Because this was a preliminary test and no contract was ever signed, no real customer data, production source code, or active sensitive credentials were ever uploaded to this environment.
“We ultimately chose a different vendor and did not proceed with the one we tested. The environment in question was never connected to our production systems.”
I’d love to see the look on 1011’s face having just learned this.
