A typical use case is to forward a single port to the proxy, then set the proxy to map different subdomains to different machines/ports on your internal network. Anything not explicitly mapped by the reverse proxy isn’t visible externally.

Yeah. In my case, though, a lot of my library consists of relatively expensive reference works that I use regularly and that would be prohibitive to replace if Amazon decided to play games with them.

Yeah—I finally got a physical Kindle in part to simplify the process of downloading and backing up my ebooks.

To be fair, though, their devices and apps have mutually-incompatible file formats, so if the only point of downloading a file were to put it on an offline Kindle via USB (which is the only use case they acknowledge), they’d need to know what device you’ve got so they can convert the file to an appropriate format.

I don’t know.

You can put unmanaged files (in a readable format) onto a Kindle via USB, though, so if you’d backed up the file somewhere you could presumably put it back again manually.

There are also Kindle books sold without DRM at the request of the author.

Newsom on Sunday instead announced that the state will partner with several industry experts, including AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li, to develop guardrails around powerful AI models.

That’s reassuring—Li is one of the best-qualified people for the role, and she isn’t in the pocket of any of the major players.

I wouldn’t be surprised if their AI rewrites their terms of service every time you try to print it.

One could use Perfect Output to quickly fix image sizes and remove ads and white space when printing something off a website, HP says as an example.

So Reader Mode for printing?

That seems like a feature that would be better handled by the browser than the printer—this is the equivalent of implementing reader mode by adding AI to your monitor.

Why does the title specify that the tool is taking down “AI-generated” pictures if the article focuses on how it’s taking down fan art indiscriminately?

How is Inflection-2 cheaper to train in the cloud than own hardware?

Reality, for one.

There’s Upton Sinclair’s famous remark that it’s “difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it”, but I don’t think that’s the whole story. There’s a part of them that does hear, but holds the understanding in abeyance, saving it for use when circumstances change and it no longer threatens their self-interest.

Also Doctorow’s novella “Unauthorized Bread”.

Microsoft is to memory as Cortés is to Mexico.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to have removable batteries it could recharge and swap out on the fly?

The robot can spend 23 hours a day monitoring the parking lot from all angles

Do they get a mandated one-hour break or something?

The problem here is that if this is unreliable…

And the problem if it is reliable is that everyone becomes dependent on Google to literally define reality.

Those would be easy things to add, if you were trying to pass it off as real.

Regardless of how the image was generated, why is Google treating a random blogspam site as the authoritative version of a work of art over (say) Wikipedia?

According to the article:

As 404 Media has reported in January, Google is regularly surfacing AI-generated websites that game search engine optimization before the human-made websites they are trained on. “Our focus when ranking content is on the quality of the content, rather than how it was produced,” Google told 404 Media in a statement at the time.

Does that mean I can search for any famous image, take the largest existing version, upscale it by 1% and post it on my own site, and instantly be featured at the top of google searches?
