The last thing your white-only dating app sees before its webserver is deleted Context: A hacker wearing a pink power ranger costume deleted a racist dating website live at the end of their 39c3 talk this year. Video of the talk (together with two journalists) here: …ccc.de/…/39c3-the-heartbreak-machine-nazis-in-th… (The link is set to English translation, original talk is in German. Deletion happens here: …ccc.de/…/39c3-the-heartbreak-machine-nazis-in-th…)

Man fuck Axel Voss! Damn copyright shill. Guess we can take solace in the fact that he seemed to be the only one clearly taking the publishers side here. And if I'm not mistaken, the European Commission representative argued in his reply to Voss (around 12:20) that "collective management organisations" or "cultural heritage institutions" might well be allowed to preserve games that are not commercially available anymore already under the current framework.

True, but colloquially your grandparents bloodline is still (one of) your bloodline(s). So you share a bloodline with your uncles and aunts.

Are they? For me the website has a Cloudflare captcha leading into a 404: https://whitedate.net/ After the talk it had a rick-roll embed for some time. :D

Could be the site owner is in the process of restoring access, the talk (and thus the deletion) happened on 29th of December.

Well I haven't tried it, but if you want to just play around with it you should be able to emulate a RISC-V system in a VM, e.g. using qemu: https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/target-riscv.html TL;DR: It's kinda complicated, lots of different board/chip designs to choose from. But seems possible. Several Distros like Ubuntu/Debian seem to have RISC-V releases around.

Well the rationale is that they were announcing live to the world (and therefore also the website owner) that "all your base are belong to us". So instead of giving the website owner time to fix their flawed IT security they just deleted all the infected systems at the end of the talk (including some backups and admin accounts).

Well that's probably true. I mean lots of stuff was obviously hacked and deleted, and if you trust the script output in the stream mostly from whitedate. child and deal are later off-shoots it seems, but date had like 6k users, some paying, the main project basically. And it's still offline. And whitedeal shows a 2019 copyright notice. :D There was an interactive map of the user profiles hosted by the hacker at https://okstupid.lol/ but it seems to be down right now. And the journalists who participated in the talk (and pointedly left before the script was run) announced there will be more articles released soon.

I’m just a movement generator. Which is way more complex than just predicting text, because you have to predict physics and all that stuff. There is a reason most robots controlled by neural nets have failed hilariously so far. then you’ll have to acknowledge that some form of reasoning is going on, no? By that logic you could say a compiler is reasoning. But the reasoning displayed was happening when the compiler (or LLM training material respectively) was written.

From my totally uninformed non-lawyer knowledge: It’s more or less safe to ignore random letters from German lawyers until they are forwarded to you by a German court (usually in a yellow(?) envelope).

Can a lemmy post be directly mastodon Kind off no and yes. Server side there is no federation AFAIK, but some frontends/apps can show and post to both networks. Kbin and forks for example.
