Ah, yes that's true. I had actually forgot about this type of thing (did study infosec at uni)

Helpful article, thank you!

The author mentions "military grade firewall", as a must have in a vehicle. Genuine question; What's a military grade firewall?

In the Swedish game magazine Super Play (now defunct) they covered Fable development and the release, but IIRC they advised the reader to take Molyneux's claims with a grain of salt. The final review still made it to 9, or 10 out of 10 I think, but I'd have to check the issue to confirm.

I want to thank my father for giving in and purchasing Fable for me when it hit the shelves. Fable II was my favourite, a fantastic game.

I've been giving far too little though about AI and the hype around it (might call me a sceptic), but I feel compelled to defend the article as it gave me some new perspectives, and is undeserving of your, frankly, low quality comment. If it was a flame bait, then I got hooked (sorry HN)

You namedrop three(?) artists and insinuate something about two legal frameworks - but provides no arguments or context why they should've been a natural inclusion in the article or how your critique relates to it.

Is that.. yes, a low value comment.

That's why it's possible to have a default deny rule in robots.txt

And possibly allow-list the ones you accept. This probably won't change the fact that you may allow a vendor at one point in time, only to realise they changed their crawling use case and has been scraping data for AI training for the past 6 months (before they go public about it).

It can be argued that if you are a server operator, you always know which User-agents are making requests to your resources.

The prediction does not hinge on inheritance (most folks manage to start their own lives, careers and families well before their parents pass), but on the upbringing, milieu and economic as well as social capital available.

"You're likely to stay in the social class you were born into" - is basically what the predictor means.

"Your girlfriend is just someone else's computer"

And the American modern Santa Claus has been greatly influenced by the jovian illustrations by Haddon Sundblom for Coca-Cola advertising (1930s). Haddon himself was a descendant of folks from Åland Islands, Finland, mentioned in the article.

It's where I'm from as well, and as a young kid, me and friends would visit the houses in the village at the date mentioned, and receive candy (or else!). It's very similar to the trick or treat tradition during Halloween.

I'm a paying user so I can't speak about the free Spotify experience, but..

Spotify will only repeat a song during shuffle if you also activate repeat. It will also repeat a song if you actually added the song twice or more to said playlist. You can try it out by shuffling a playlist+deactivate repeat then check which songs have been queued from start to finish.

Smart Shuffle -despite the name- is more a playlist function than a shuffle function. It's like the Radio playlists but with the songs interspersed temporarily in your own playlist. Note that these songs were not already in your playlist - so they do not repeat unless you activate repeat.

Started seeing consumer 10Gbps back in 2018 (in Sweden). The problem was there wasn't many consumer router devices around back then to support that kind of link. It might have even been unheard of, so one ISP solved it by designing their own custom device to specification - just so they could offer 10Gbps asap.

To iterate on mikl's question: also nice, but I wonder why IBM did this.

You might not see it right now, but seemingly random bits of knowledge can come up useful later. I once wrote a IoT monitoring software to watch closed-source locked down devices. My view of these devices was antagonistic, and it was my responsibility to keep them from being abused by our end users.

I named my project panopticon inspired by the original idea.

On the other hand, I don't think it's application on humans is ethical nor effective, but for devices, maybe.
