So they'll start branding them, "darknet models" or some such, and push for laws banning their use.

Punish the consumer, ala the copyright war since the 90s

One of the challenges in reading AI output is that it outputs cross-discipline.

Load bearing (civil engineering), smoking gun (detective novels?), etc.

I use a skill file which states that it may internally use whichever terminology which fits, but that output presented to me must be phrased as if talking to a human, and within the terminology of the task at hand.

I don't specifically reference smoking gun, but its not been mentioned since.

> I can 100% guarantee that we'll have comments from people saying they buy iPhones specifically because of the walled garden and the last thing they want is a jail broken device. On a website called Hacker News.

I bought my mom an iPad and got her over to an iPhone exactly because of this.

I'd not mind if there was an unlock option, as long as it was tedious enough, such as connecting to a PC to do it. The android option of a few clicks under settings is definitely something I can see someone/some site convincing her to do.

> I never did much beyond installing Cydia.

Watusi was great, it let you disable the blue checkmark on Whatsapp. (Since been added as a setting)

I also used a tweak that let me auto-block certain phone prefixes that spammers used. Quite useful.

Was also useful that it allowed you to install multiple copies of an app (such as whatsapp), though no longer a need for that either.

My only gripe with lockdown mode is that my banking app loads icons from some source that ends up being blocked.

Quite annoying. I've tried to explain it to them, but to no avail.

A coworker told me that the bank she worked for would put you on hold for a 20 minute minimum, during which they played background music with intermittent static, to annoy you into hanging up.

Pure evil.

Had a doctor take a biopsy, said we need to wait for the test results, but should already start planning for cancer treatment.

Results come back: Just some blood under the skin.

Might also be easier for money laundering when you can claim you're a cash-only business, and thus have no digital proof of where these 30 million in monthly car washes comes from.

For online purchases, the 10% typically applies to Pix, so it's not "outside the governments view". However interesting point with taxes: Next year Brazil is introducing split payments for credit card transactions, where the taxes are withdrawn at the point of sales, instead of being paid later by the merchant.

> The vendor pays the 3% not you

In Brazil, you'll typically get a "10% discount" when not paying by credit card.

Eg, it's very clearly pushed unto the consumer. I assume some law says they cannot charge more for it, so they got a default price, but always advertise a lower price with a small text "if paid via pix"

I don't think it's being questioned that at some point there is human behind this. Though it could always be that spider.

I got an old pair of Sketchers which are great.

They are a bit worn, so a year or two I bought a new pair which are absolutely horrible to wear for any extended amount of time.

Been looking for a good replacement ever since, while my old ones are slowly wearing away. Plastic pieces chipping off the heel every week.

I'll keep it in mind when these fail.

> How many Apple Watches and AirPods have ever become obsolete due to their batteries not being replaceable?

Every single pair of AirPods I've had has died due to one of them not charging anymore. I assume it's the battery.

No idea where/how/who looks into this though, so I've just bought new ones.
