Theoretically, the SIM has its own MAC that’s used for routing on the cellular network; however, the network is required to route 911 calls even without a SIM, and that’s done via IMEI.

Why exactly does vehicleprivacyreport want my VIN instead of year make and model? That’s me giving an unvetted third party website the unique tracking token for my car….

And only some e-bikes have a built-in cell phone.

If recommendations are being provided to me as a service and the algorithm that goes into it is relatively transparent, I have no issues.

If advertising is based on the value an advertiser sees in the product being advertised, I have no problem.

If I’m the product being sold or an ad distribution network is involved, I’ve got a problem.

Perfect Dad joke material….

That’s because they’re all out of business or bought up by their competitors.

My general rule is: “if they have data they can sell, sooner or later they will.”

There are very few corporations that have proved me wrong.

My personal opinion is that concealed filming in public should be illegal. Open filming should be courteous, and if someone requests they not be filmed (and they’re not a public figure/government employee), the filmer should honor that.

Otherwise, I see no problem with it, and I’ve been filmed in public a LOT.

I miss the roflcopter.

Ah; but do they have plans /not/ to phase out v2?

Because if they don’t, phasing it out will eventually be the easiest way to maintain their codebase and performance.

Wouldn’t their patch embeddings return different results depending on the visual boundaries? They don’t appear to use overlap redundancy; this means it’s going to be significantly less resource intensive, but the chance of losing significant signals in the image to text translation surely must be inversely high?

Makes sense, as actual AI research is based in applied mathematics and data/signal modelling. And the Chinese education system has trained students in those areas ruthlessly over the past 40 years.

So combine large population base with education system focused on the core competencies required for AI studies, and you’re going to get a majority of the talent coming from that system.

All this really does is show how flawed the current concept of copyright is. But at some point, a huge corpus of images owned by other people was assembled to create a derivative work (the training corpus).

I guess my suggestion wouldn’t be useful then… I was a GrandCentral customer in 2006. When Google bought them I became a Google Voice customer and still am. It’s been convenient to have the same US numbers for 18 years. I wouldn’t run anything private through the service though.

I’m imagining those sachets that you get seeds in these days… 20 of them with 3g of grass seed in each.

I spent multiple years learning a skillset which put me into an employment position. Of those jobs I had as an employee 20 years ago, almost all of them were mostly done by machine learning systems a decade later. But that was OK, because I kept on learning and moving ahead of the trend, leaving the learned,boring stuff to automation while I learned new things to give my company a competitive advantage.

I don’t think I could ever work a career where the job I was hired for was my employment until I left.

Why only 4K? We have 8K monitors now.

Not quite; the contents all go in a bag labeled “trash” — someone still has to remove it from the locker.

Indeed. If true, it means Apple’s technology doesn’t work the way they claim. Which is a really big issue.

In which case… they’re both screwed.
