Sponsorblock only skips the video. This is about the ads on the webpage.

So it will be locally hosted on the phone? I seriously doubt it will be very useful in offline only mode. Even relativity small language models (7B or 13B) struggle on even desktop pc's if you don't have a high end graphics card with 12+ GB of vram. Analyzing can be relatively fast, but generating will be terribly slow, especially images.

Edit: So after some reading, the snapdragon gen 3 has some impressive specs, but can someone explain how a phone can generate fast ai content while a PC needs let's say 24GB's of vram? I get the phone has an ai-specialized chip, but you still need to load the model into memory.

Once you shave a husky it's very difficult to get the undercoat hair to grow back normally. It will be all clumpy and patchy. And the coat can also help to keep them cool, although I don't know about tropical heat. You'd probably have a sad dog then..

Seriously, I get not wanting to dox the idiot, but the company should be named and shamed for hiring them.

It's just a collider, not a fusion reactor. But there are multiple sites where they experiment with it.

You just know this boy thought he was the smartest guy ever until the film crew arrived.

Never sign in anywhere, or at least with fake, temporary accounts.

When ordering things send it to a pickup point, not home address. Preferable by fake name, but hopefully they don't want to see your ID.

Use a privacy focused email server.

Clear cookies after you leave a website, install an addon to generate a fake random browser fingerprint.

Never go on any website where you enter your real name and address.

Be sure to renew your vpn public ip address often. Be sure you can trust your vpn provider.

Turn off WiFi and Bluetooth when going outside your house so they cant track you that way. Stores do that nowadays.

Avoid being seen by public security camera's.

Make sure your friends and family don't post and tag your face or name anywhere.

Hope your cellphone provider, isp, healthcare provider, etc don't sell your personal data.

Basically impossible to not get tracked at all, but you can get quite far.

Eventually they will just use server side authentication that the ads were displayed properly and the best an adblocker can do is draw a grey rectangle over it and mute your tabs sound.

I just read about Solidworks. Don't pirate that, it still contacts home and gives them all the info it can pull from your pc: ip, your name, company info, etc. and then they send you a huge bill for the costs of 5 years or so of licensing. Also don't have an illegal copy next to a legal one, because then the legal one will detect the illegal one and send the info. Or open projects created with pirated software with a legal version.

Of course this data snooping would be illegal in the EU, but outside that I would be careful.

Isn't roaming free for all EU members? Oh.. wait.

What does religion have to do with this? Israel is a fascist state illegally colonizing Palestine in search for more lebensraum, while detaining random Palestinians for sometimes years without a trial in prisons where torture is fully accepted in what only can be described as concentration camps. All the while bombing civilians, including lots of children, and now effectively creating an open air prison without food, water and electricity where they indiscriminately bomb whoever they can as result of a nationwide hate against a specific ethic group.

Yet some people claim they are the good guys.

The problem is that it's not just cartoon characters, but also realistic looking people. That makes it, especially in the next years when the techniques improve, impossible to know what is fake and what is not and thus the fake ones should also be banned. And these models are trained on images of actual abused children, which of course is the main problem with this.
