I assume there’s some context for why there is an argument to begin with between whether to prompt for markdown vs html, and what this is actually for

The support page both refer to seems to be real though? https://support.google.com/recaptcha/answer/16609652?hl=en

Does what it’s saying mean that Google Play Services is required to pass their captchas on mobile?

Edit: Found a comment in the Reddit thread from someone claiming to have seen one of these captchas in the wild, which supposedly does do this check but is easily bypassed:

Got good news, I just had this captcha. As you can see in the image there is an audio and an eye icon at the bottom. We can protest against this captcha by clicking the eye and doing the original one. As long as a substantial amount of people keep doing that I assume it wont’ go away.

Last time I did a major upgrade was a few years ago, got a new motherboard/cpu/ram because the old stuff was broken in some way that was causing weird problems. Glad I got that and some additional drives bought before all the current craziness. Before that it was a better GPU. So every few years I guess.

From the article:

He’d like to move into construction — siding, roofing, interior work — but the sector’s downturn has narrowed his options at the worst possible time.

I don’t know but I want a browser layer that lies about it and then renders the page in a way that doesn’t send back more information, and I think it would probably work and only be slightly buggy.

Some stuff has to be reported accurately for stuff to work well, like screen size

Ah yes, CSS, the famously serverside technology

How slanderous

Combustion products are always bad for your lungs, but cigarettes supposedly have stuff in them that is uniquely bad and especially carcinogenic.

I don’t understand why this should be inherently impossible. If you buy a separate device, and use that exclusively for one thing and do not cross-contaminate, that should work to avoid fingerprinting right? And this is all information that your computer is voluntarily providing, and is I assume possible to change independently from the hardware. So why not?

I’ve heard about this sort of technique being used, but an important step I usually hear about isn’t present here, which is to first translate the text to another language before translating it back. Simply asking a LLM to

Rewrite the user’s text so it sounds natural and human-written. "

"Preserve the original meaning exactly.

seems likely to leak things like your word preferences and grammatical quirks, a 7b model isn’t going to be super creative about this and will want to take your lead on things. There needs to be an initial layer of stripping your statement of what makes it unique.

Is there any way to browse the web without being fingerprinted, short of literally using a separate computer

Yeah but then you wouldn’t be using technology from Star Wars spinoffs

Supposedly it’s really expensive and takes a long time to build new factories for the basic essential components, and nobody wants to commit to doing that because of the risk that the current spike in demand will not sustain and they will have to sell what they produce for cheap.

If there is a gap in the meantime, consumers will be incentivized to move away from hardware they can’t afford which could have long term effects on what kind of computing they are used to, ie. using less PCs, more mobile devices relying on cloud servers.

I have really long hair and another benefit of doing them separately is, it’s easiest to brush it right after applying conditioner, and harder when it has shampoo in it. So there’s that on top of really needing the conditioner to work well.

I guess it hasn’t sunk in for most people yet

I’d be worried people would end up thinking that is where all the pirated media is buried

Maybe they should have thought about that before taking away the little bags of pretzels and cookies

Take the bong, but bring some weed and leave it behind, so if they kill themselves it will be wasted

It’s an anonymous space where you are de-facto not allowed to admit not being a cis white male, so definitely not

I would like to see some ROBOT9000 esque oddball meme communities overtly based on heavy algorithmic moderation, can be LLM but wouldn’t have to be. Weird rules strictly enforced by robots, could be fun.
