  • I just tried this a couple different ways:

    1. Removing permission for “nearby devices” - this unfortunately appears to block both Bluetooth and NFC permission
    2. Turning off the phone’s Bluetooth - NFC still works while the Bluetooth radio is off, but you’d basically never be able to safely use Bluetooth anytime you aren’t watching your car. Setting a PIN is still unfortunately the only way to go, and hope that a dedicated attacker doesn’t also find a way to capture your PIN (e.g. camera zoomed in on your screen).




  • I don’t believe you’re fully arguing in good faith here.

    I’m assuming you’ve seen a naked adult, and if you had never seen a naked young person, I don’t believe for one second you would be unable to infer what a naked young person might look like. You might not know for certain, but your best guess would likely be very accurate.

    Generative AI can absolutely make those same inferences, so it does not need inappropriate training material for it to generate it.

    The AI knows what a young person looks like.
    It knows what a clothed adult looks like.
    It knows what an unclothed adult looks like.

    An AI trained on 100% legal material could make that inappropriate inference without even trying.

    Now, have all the popular AI models actually been trained on 100% legal material? I have no way of knowing that answer, but you’re incorrect to assume that just because it can output inappropriate images, that absolutely 100% proves that data was also included in its training input. Edit: nevermind, it definitely has been trained on inappropriate material, but that doesn’t disprove that it doesn’t need to be.

    For actually displaying dates to others, I agree that spelling out the month is absolutely preferred. But if space is limited, you’re somewhat required to pick a very shortened format, and the US version is dumb, even if that’s what you should use when displaying in that locale.

    But for working with dates on computers, year-month-day works great, because it’s still human readable, is naturally sortable, and makes it easier for serialization.

    The first one is conventionally never year-day-month, and if anyone ever sent me a date of 2023-17-08, I would respond with, “What the hell?! Are you being evil on purpose?”

    I was just thinking about this more, and what if Google decides to implement this on Google maps? Am I going to have to put a message up saying something like, “sorry, you can’t view our outage map unless you use a browser that supports web integrity”?

    Because you’re right, convincing the higher ups to let me switch to OpenStreetMap is probably going to be a losing battle.
