Recommended to stay 5 metres away? From memory of a previous article I saw.
It's TINY (about the size of a bullet) and would be nearly impossible to spot from that distance.

So...the rich buy a million Spotify subscriptions just to keep a terrible founder in power?
The rich have a paid option for Google searches?
The rich own 20 Teslas?

Then you should be able to sue Meta/ Google for a fair share of when your art is used for profit. Why not?
Is it like the 'what if your Party congressman is involved in sexual assault' kinda thing? Am I supposed to vehemently defend my favourite tech company? Fuck no. Arrest them all. Enforce for all companies not paying their fair share.

Yep, same with, alcohol, drugs and guns, etc.
We only started to see success in the war against drugs once we made weed legal.

Thanks for the info. Come to think of it, the Amazon Fire tablets are also Android devices sold without Google Play.

Ask about video games, it will often be surface level and often have mistakes (no ChatGPT, DBD only has 1 killer).
Now multiply the seriousness of the topic by a fuck ton, like having it represent you in court or recommend medical procedures for surgeons, and I’m a lil afraid

The poster has corrected it to say there were two numbers. Which seems more sus to me but I’ll give the benefit. Personally, I’ve heard the term spoofed number to apply to any number being used in a spoof attempt. Not necessarily the actual number, so that was where I was going with the forgiveness of the explanation.

Ford may have dropped the price of the vehicle but we can be reasonably sure that the dealer network will still mark them up 10-20k or more over MSRP even with the savings. It’s a win win for the dealer, not so much a win for the consumer.

Yes, please use ChatGPT as a doctor. I love to study evolution in real time.

It’s from the NY Post. That’s how every article is.
The real lesson is that tabloids sometimes have legitimate-sounding names.

I've written appointment reminder software that leverages one of Twilio's competitors (Signalwire) for delivery and they seem to do just fine in things like this. In testing use cases, I have to prove ownership of both sending and receiving phone number. They also require all SMS messaging campaigns to be registered as per FCC requirements. I know they filter it too, because when the FCC rule went into effect I hadn't received notification yet, and my first clue was everything suddenly showing up in the logs as being blocked.

Yes those are all clues on how to detect a possible spoof text. Yet, what some of us want to know is how tracing back a spoofed number that displays a valid existing number, results in determining that the text originated from Twilo. How does it make that distinction?

Thats not an election, people with more money have more votes, the people with less money who have to work to generate the wealth of the rich have no votes.

Nice. More car companies making electric cars benefit the consumer. Looking forward to what VW brings to the market.

Reply to Mining giant Rio Tinto apologizes for sparking radiation alert after losing device in Australia by hzj5790
From the Article
“Mining giant Rio Tinto on Monday apologized after the loss of a small radioactive capsule used in its operations caused a radiation alert in Western Australia.
The silver-colored capsule is just 6 millimeters in diameter (0.24 inches) and 8 millimeters long and is thought to have been lost during a 1,400 kilometre drive through the remote Pilbara, Midwest Gascoyne, Goldfields-Midlands and Perth Metropolitan regions.
Emergency services in the state of Western Australia said close exposure to the substance could cause radiation burns or radiation sickness and warned the public to stay five meters away from it if spotted. However, they said the risk to the rural community was relatively low.
The capsule was part of a gauge used for measuring the density of iron ore feed.
It was delivered by a third-party contractor from Rio Tinto's Gudai-Darri site to Perth for repairs on Jan. 12, arriving on Jan. 16.
When it was unpacked for inspection on Jan. 25, the gauge was found broken apart with four mounting bolts, all screws and the capsule missing.
Simon Trott, Rio Tinto's iron ore chief executive, said in a statement issued Monday, "We are taking l this incident very seriously. We recognise this is l clearly very concerning and are sorry for the alarm it has caused in the Western Australian community."

Excellent, so clueless old people can ask non-sense questions
"So Mister CEO, your app is called TikTok but it is in fact *NOT* a clock, and doesn't even tell time!?"
"That is correct"
"Ok wonderful, seems secure to us!"

Most companies don’t hand out CEO’s cellphone. So a late night text that ID’s itself as your boss and ask for info is not hard and doesn’t require the amount of suggested work earlier post have given regarding changing the caller ID, etc. Not saying that’s what happened, but having seen this done as well, and amaze me people fell for it, I can see this being an option.

And yet, the citation I gave shows Stable Diffusion obviously replicating copyrighted images from the LAION training set, despite your musings about thermodynamics. It may not store reproducible representations of all images, I don't know - but it unquestionably does store some.
In any case, it doesn't change the fact that copying images into the computer in the first place, in order to train the model, would need to come under a fair use exemption. For example, research generally does - but not in every case, especially if it causes economic damage to the original authors. In many countries, authors also have moral rights, to attribution, to preservation of the integrity of their work against alteration that damages their reputation, etc., which may come into play.
