Inference means synthesizing new facts from facts already known. A large language model only knows facts about language elements in its training corpus, therefore any reasoning based on such a model can only ever derive facts about language.

This sounds like a problem where cryptocurrency could actually be the solution. Next time I want to make a charitable donation I will ask for an XMR address to preserve my privacy and work around commercial payment processor issues.

Child abuse is already illegal, the law needs to be expanded to cover these new forms of harm to children. It seems reasonable that I am held criminally accountable if I expose my child to harmful Internet content like social media.

Male and female are preferred terms because they are objective and emotionally neutral while avoiding the sexism of misusing the word "man" to mean male human.

I was a daily, active, and paying Youtube user until recently and am quitting entirely. I was still able to work around many of Google's dark patterns – like the aggressive bot and adblock measures – but it was a chore I do not care to continue, and the emotional distress caused by the extreme hostility and toxicity around everything Youtube is too high a price to pay for content. I support content creators on Patreon but unfortunately many of them still use Youtube for hosting and those videos are not accessible to me any longer.

Those should be closed WONTFIX. Neither doas nor sudo can protect you from the consequences of running untrusted code and must not attempt to do so because it adds needless complexity to safety-critical software.

It is more like phone based 1FA at this point. My Google account cannot be recovered at all even though I know the password and still control the recovery e-mail because at one point I made the mistake of adding a (now inaccessible) phone number.

Is nitter.net still functional for you? The service was accessible earlier this year from my location but now it is all 403 Forbidden.

The answer is always no, please don't ask!

Seems trivially easy to solve since all the users are already carrying tracking devices with GPS.

I prefer to keep the task manager processes sorted by PID, that way the order is stable with new processes appearing at the end of the list.
