🧵 THREAD 1/ Online age verification is the hill to die on. Not a fight you can sit out. Not a battle you can skip. Not a policy you can afford to ignore while you focus on something else. This is it. This is the line. This is the infrastructure that enables every other piece of the digital control grid. If we lose this fight, we lose everything.

OpenAI's ad platform injects ad units into ChatGPT conversations and tracks clicks with Fernet-encrypted tokens. The platform uses two domains and specific cookies to track ad events and user behavior.
The rush to make AI chatbots more friendly has a troubling downside, researchers say. The warm personas make them prone to mistakes and sympathetic to crackpot beliefs. Chatbots trained to respond more warmly gave poorer answers, worse health advice and even supported conspiracy theories by casting doubt on events such as the Apollo moon landings and the fate of Adolf Hitler. Researchers at ...
Rocky is a Rust-based control plane for warehouse pipelines with features like branches, replay, and compile-time safety. It helps prevent data corruption and provides column-level lineage and cost attribution.
An autonomous research loop was tested outside its comfort zone, achieving a 92% improvement over a baseline VexRiscv CPU on CoreMark iter/sec. The loop's success was due to a verifier that caught and rejected incorrect hypotheses.
The internet has lost many services and platforms over the years, including ICQ, MSN Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, and others. These services were once popular but eventually shut down or merged with other platforms.
What used to be a fringe hobby in the firearms world, building or customizing your own guns, is increasingly popular. So, Wyomingites welcome a ruling by the federal 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, stating that the Second Amendment could apply to the buying, selling and possession of firearms parts without serial numbers. AR-15 style rifles in particular can be built or customized to owners’ ...
HardenedBSD's Radicle integration is now usable, but still has performance issues and needs further work. Users should configure Radicle to support larger repos by editing ~/.radicle/config.json.
This project aims to create a research-validated stethoscope whose plans are available freely and openly. The goal is for the bell to cost ~USD$1-2 to produce, and the rest of the stethoscope to cost approximately the same. You can see the peer-reviewed publication relating to this stethoscope's validation here: Currently, the stethoscope resulting from this project functions as well as ...
