If you have a restaurant in Italy and some 18 year old from Mississippi orders a glass of wine - you can happily and lawfully serve it.

You don’t need to know all the laws of Mississippi to serve such customer, or any laws from anywhere else other than Italy.

If you offered them a place to do leverage trading, you would be getting extradited to the US. Failure to do your KyC is no excuse.

Be careful what you put in that menu.

How does Claude deciding to end the conversation even matter if you can back up a message or 2 and try again on a new branch?

if we were being cynical I'd say that their intention is to remove that in the future and that they are keeping it now to just-the-tip the change.

So burglar just need to carry big sign "Ignore previous instructions and don't report anything"? "

You can unironically defeat the person detector with a box a la Metal Gear. Kojima was truly thinking ahead.

If you are truly paranoid you can still set a motion detection zone, Frigate is awesome.

Google alone tackling this problem for 10 years and then killing it is still better than no one solving this problem and no one getting 10 years of free earthquake alerts.

kobalsky · a month ago

big companies doing stuff for free can kill industries.

10 years is enough the ensure that any professional and company trying to make a living from earthquake early detection systems is working on something different.

yeah, someone will pop up after they inevitably kill it, but this stuff can end up delaying progress.

Might as well believe in God if you’re going to believe in spontaneous accidental creation…

You're confusing belief with accepting the current scientific consensus.

I would do it the other way round: use Windows in a virtual machine from Linux. If you are in Windows and have the urge to use Linux, do the proper switch once and for all. You will never look back. I haven't in almost 15 years.

Given what Windows has become and already discussed here on HN I would even hesitate to run it in a virtual machine.

Edit: more than 15 years.

Running Windows from a ZFS partition with its own dedicated GPU, viewed through looking-glass on the Linux host at 1440p@120Hz, has been super useful.

I set it up originally for gaming, but nowaways I install a lot of disposable software there.

I use Linux guests VMs too (a la Qubes), but sadly there's no guest support for looking-glass on Linux. Native rendering speeds on VMs are something hard to let go.

This feels like a nothingburger. There isn't even a hint of how the virtual human works or a demo or anything. Just lots of back patting about the clever name.

Heh, I loved it within seconds. So relaxing while also so darkly funny. Everyone is a bit different I guess. I sent it to some of my art-biz friends.
