<p>You have a point.<p>Being able to reprogram a pacemaker isn't enough!<p>We should require that any devices that our lives depends on, especially devices that go inside our bodies, to be open source: not just reprogrammable, but with source code available for inspection and modification.<p>I've been working in this industry for too long in order to trust a closed source pacemaker to be bug-free.</p>

<p>> The studio didn't spend this money for the heck of it, they spent this money with the hope of recouping their investment.<p>I wonder if the world would be a better place if we had fewer financial incentives to do things, in general?<p>> But why would a studio spend hundreds of millions making a blockbuster movie?<p>Under this hypothetical scenario, I believe there wouldn't be a "studio" in the first place.
There could be a group of people who want to express themselves, get famous or do something just for fun, without any direct financial gain. Sure, they wouldn't be able to pull off Avatar 2, but our expectations as consumers would also be different.</p>

<p>If you're asking an LLM about a particular text, even if it's a well-known text, you might get significantly better results if you provide said text as part of your prompt (context) instead of asking a model to "recall it from memory".<p>So something like this: "Here's a PDF file containing Being and Time. Please explain the significance of anxiety (Angst) in the uncovering of Being."</p>

<p>I think older and low power devices would actually be easier to port: they capture the audio request, send it to the server, receive an audio response from the server and play it. No local "intelligence" at all.<p>So you could probably replace the whole backend while keeping things compatible as long as you maintain that simple API.</p>

<p>Recently I just started asking ChatGPT.<p>It does a very good job guiding me in areas where I'm less familiar.<p>That's assuming we're talking about technical problems.
For non-technical problems I'd reach out to friends (or even better - a therapist).
But asking on HN and/or Reddit might be a good idea too, depending on the context.</p>

<p>Why not both?<p>Sure, it'll lead to arms race like you describe on one side, but let's say 99% of the apps won't even engage in that arms race if the fake data is generic enough to cause a high number of false positives (blocking someone who's not actually faking the data).<p>Then, we can focus on the remaining 1% of worst offenders to actually enforce the policy.</p>

<p>Yubikey is actually pretty "phishable", at least in the OTP mode. It will happily put the token into a phishing website (or literally anywhere else) as soon as you touch it.<p>It's also good to know that Yubikey's OTP tokens don't expire based on time, but based on a hidden counter that gets incremented with every issued token.<p>So if you've accidentally touched your Yubikey and leaked the token publicly, you just have to log out and then log back in using your Yubikey - that action will invalidate all tokens issued before this point.</p>

<p>> And whatever happened to Apple who refused to work with FBI on the San Bernardino shooter but here is only happy to comply in a much less interesting case?<p>Nothing.
It's just a matter of technical means.
They had no means of unlocking that phone without potentially compromising all the rest of the phones they've made before that point.
But Apple account / emails are "in the cloud", so Apple has full access to it.</p>
