I'd agree that nobody has legal standing so far, "actual harm" and all that. Doesn't mean I want a CCTV camera pointed at my desk, even if the company (whose last update semi-uninstalled a startup app causing a restart-after-60s loop) *promises* it won't be used for anything and won't be exploited. Or they could, you know, not install it in the first place. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

Even the current AI is just the same technology present in the decades-old Shazam (with clever, new programming on parsing text).
It runs many Google searches, then sets up a system of algebra equations (with a fingerprinted version of a website's text for each equation. Meanwhile, Shazam just had *sound* fingerprinting FYI.)
Those Neural & Bayesian equations^ (as systems/matrices) can then be solved to predict where new bits of data (or new search queries) belong in this tangled web of English word-associations, fingerprinted into numerical weights & graded values.

>“OpenAI’s dedication to its mission aligns closely with my own values and experience in public service,” Nakasone said in a press release.
>That certainly seems true: Nakasone and the NSA recently defended the practice of [buying data of questionable provenance](https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/26/national-security-agency-americans-internet-browsing-records-warrantless/) to feed its surveillance networks, arguing that there was no law against it. OpenAI, for its part, has simply taken, rather than buying, large swathes of data from the internet, arguing when it is caught that there is no law against it. They seem to be of one mind when it comes to asking forgiveness rather than permission, if indeed they ask either.
Damn that's a big burn.

There is no actual way to secure everything. It's deterrence that security exist and that is all. Sometimes it slows them down.
They only need to find one flaw you don't find and fix first. And there will be more flaws that go un-noticed because language isn't perfect. No computer language or code is perfect. Not even human language wr all speak is perfect.
Also for encryption to exist. Something has to be un- encrypted somewhere or unlocked encryption just to be able to decrypt.
No perfect lock. Not digital or physical. No perfect impenetrable material is only part of the reason why.
Locks, physical, electronic or digital is deterrence that slows or prevents the unknowledgeable only. So if someone knows they can bypass or break the lock they can. Sometimes they pick them. Sometimes they cut them or shim them. Sometimes they brute force passwords and other times they look for flaws in the hardware or software of something electronic. Sometimes they slip you a virus and almost every single part you hook up to a computer can technically spy on you to bypass all your security. Almost any device. Internal or external or via the Internet.
To lower the chance of hacks. Have less devices. If they find a flaw in one they may be able to hack you using the flaw of a connected device. Use the least amount of software possible with the least amount of features. Don't open and execute strang files. Some files don't execute but cause flaws in programs that do execute. This could be something you read documents with or something that plays videos audio or different file types.
For example. Rom's for gaming emulators don't execute themselves but a crafty rom in the wild caused a fault in the program.
I don't remember the details but most likely caused an error in memory. Corrupted some stuff so memory jumped out of bonds then they could run code and hack you.
So run the minimal amount of programs.
Government shouldn't use civilian computers with lots of programs. They should limit this to the bare minimum required for the job and task they do. As in strip the os out of every non needed function for the job.
You would have to massively debloat windows down to a required for our work environment programs. And no extra anything that isn't useful for a job. This includes features that isn't useful for the job.
I forgot. Sometimes the flaw can be in an image itself or in a video file to cause a fault in certain programs that play or display those files. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

Cheap and easy to use got the world addicted to plastic. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

I would love to see a tax and dividend on plastics. I'm a strong believer in the free market but until we put a price on negative externalities we don't truly have a free market. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Can you explain what you mean by a tax and dividend? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
It's the same as the proposal for a carbon tax with dividend. 100% of the money raised is returned to all residents as a dividend with a quarterly payment. This is to compensate for the extra costs it will add. It's also a grand experiment in a small UBI. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
[Carbon tax with dividend ](https://citizensclimatelobby.org/price-on-carbon/) | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
And it's not by a small amount, it can be huge sometimes.
Polystyrene/ EPS / Styrofoam for packing and shipping washing machines. Current solution is a moulded EPS tray and top, maybe some aides, then shrink wrap the thing.
Nothing on this planet exists which can be moulded like EPS, and be as durable, and be as cheap.
The closest we got was mycelium "mushroom" packaging. you could mould it to the same detail as EPS, it was about the same strength, and it was a genuinely true decomposable material from a renewable source.
But the mould tools couldn't be as big as EPS. So it meant pieces had to be made of 2, 4, sometimes 6 separate pieces. these would have to be glued to a cardboard tray to keep them together.
The EPS takes about 5 minutes to make and mould a cushion, the mycelium was close to 5 days, so you needed hundereds of times the factory space to grow the same amount.
And to move away from the shrink wrap, we switched to stretch wrap made from cellophane. But this was much slower than the shrink wrap.
In the end, due to the overwhelming increase in space and manpower, despite ticking every single box as an EPS replacement, this stuff ended up being 20 times as expensive, and with a HUGE up front cost to build the factory to produce these parts.
People look at packaging and thing it's plastic bottles Vs glass ones, when the real issue is elsewhere. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
There is already plastic packaging tax in the majority of Europe. The EU being the EU though they didn't think about talking to each other and each country came up with their own schemes that contradict each other.
France and Italy both agree any packaging that is more than 5% plastic counts fully as plastic packaging.
But the UK decides that figure should be 50%
But France went hard on materials being separable (so you can fully remove the plastic component from the non plastic) but Italy didn't, and the UK went to opposite. Something being separable for taxed, but ones that weren't were not taxed.
Where I work they have been working with recycled plastic for years. so when the government brought in the "must contain 30% recycled plastic" we had already been doing that for 6 years, and us leaping to 50% recycled content was on par with some other companies attempts at 20%.
Recycled plastic is regularly contaminated, and you can't trust the data sheets which comes with the nurdles, not only does it effect the end product, it effects the manufacturing. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
Yeah man, let's have more taxes. Income, property, sales, death, transfer, health, inheritance, capital gains, and inflation through debasement aren't quite cutting it.
Not to mention the government is very efficient at allocating capital, and always accountable. They know what's best for everyone.

That's the reason for the dividend. All of the money is returned to the citizens.

Its not just the recycling symbol its every new product based on plastic that edges out the competition i.e products that dont need any plastic. We are at a point where it is unthinkable for many people to have a product made without some kind of plastic recyclable or not.

You still haven't answered my question. How should the cost of negative externalities be accounted for? Until that is done we don't actually have a free market. One person should not have to pay the price for someone else's pollution | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |

Moat of us in the plastic industry were shocked the UK government went with such a low percentage to be exempt from the tax. 30% is very low
Even a multi layer laminated food grade film, where the outer faces of the film are food grade (BRC for the UK) and the inner core is recycled content can easily match 30%.
Another plant we have in Spain is even producing pretty decent material which is 95% recycled content.
The material quality is good, it's just not that easy to do, sometimes more expensive than raw (oil subsidies), and for a long time companies were scared consumers would think it looked ugly.
Coca-Cola famously stopped their push for recycled content bottles for some times as they would be grey and cloudy instead of perfectly clear, so they thought it harmed what the drink inside looked like 🤦♂️ | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-14-06 |
From people like you on posts like this I've learned so much. Europe does a lot better job than us in the states on recycling and producing recycled products. We all still have a long way to go. Thank you again for the information.
