To be fair, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if they were better than barfs onto a page. She's not exactly Tolkien

Obscurity doesn't help with the security, but it sure helps reduce the noise.

Allowing anonymous people to host files on your server is a great way to collect and distribute illegal porn, stolen data, stolen software, police warrants, etc...

Duly noted!

Starling Bank has been officially supporting GrapheneOS using Android's hardware attestation API (not the Play Integrity API) since 2024.

it's not base-level. it shifts the margin, at low skill base-level and your marginal level may be similar. but if you have enough experience and know the complete SLDC , having done each role during your career it, the margin is a massive wedge. if you know a niche, you now know all the adjacent niches and technolgies IF you are open minded to want to know them. that has powerful leverage.

Not trying to defend Meta at all here, but this report is also lying.

For example, it says "79% of all child sex trafficking in 2020 occurred on Meta’s platforms." But the source it cites actually says 79% of online social media cases occurred on Facebook and Instagram. So this stat is probably just a reflection of Meta's market share.

This paragraph made me laugh out loud:

>I’ve settled into an uneasy position: AI for work where the productivity gain justifies the privacy cost, strict boundaries everywhere else. It’s not philosophically clean. It’s just honest.

First you have to convince consumers to give up on systems that work with support to development kits that are build it yourself with (lots of) caveats, which is why the year of the Linux desktop still hasn’t arrived.

> Ignoring that most, like Trump, just outright admitted it

So if trump said it, it must be true?

The rest of what you said could be translated to: "I believe it was such a good idea, all the rich and powerful must have done it".

How is this not a gut feeling?

My skepticism is solely for your argument, not that these people did or did not take the vaccine, which is something that I consider basically unknowable without a lot of leaps of faith.

Which is ironic as human driven vehicle collisions are so common-place that they don't even make the news.

It's a real thing, but usually tied to IT folks that tried ChatGPT ~2 years ago (in a web browser) and had to "fix" whatever it output. That situation solidified their "understanding of AI" and they haven't updated their knowledge on the current situation (because... No pressing need).

Folks like this have never used AI inside of an IDE or one of the CLI AI tools. Without that perspective, AI seems mostly like a gimmick.

Another article claiming productivity without providing evidence of the quality of the work. How do we know these meeting summaries are accurate? And why are meeting summaries so great, anyway? I never had them before.

Is this productivity or paper pushing?

Maybe I’m missing something, but that webpage only seems to provide a PDF containing the beginning of the book (up through the Preface). Perhaps you need a ACM Digital Library Premium subscription to access the entire book?

It appears the deal was based exclusively on greed to begin with which would be bad enough, but escalating greed was baked in to "compensate" for what was given up during agreement, which could not be anything other than adversarial rather than co-operative.

Simply because the element of greed not only existed, but was dominant by a large margin. If not a multiple.

If you were already experienced and productive, it does very little for you beyond summaries, a little boilerplate, and possibly search help.

If you were unproductive, it allows you to be more "productive" while stalling or reversing your learning and growth.

Of course, person number 2's newfound "productivity" comes at the expense of leeching productivity away from the experienced and productive people by overloading them with reviewing and validating their non-deterministic generated spaghetti.

It amazes people who think pumping out code is the hard part of a project, when in fact that's the easiest part...

We've apparently collectively forgotten that lines of code is one of the worst metrics for measuring productivity.

Project: Hail Mary, a fantasy world where geopolitics are trivially simple and every state in the world collectively agrees how great it would be to cede power and work together. (And therefore enable a genuinely fun and amazing science story which was the actual focus of the book to begin with, 10/10).

Yeah, the whole purpose of taking notes is being present in the conversation. Notes themselves are a nice byproduct.

Batteries are boring, or at least the hype has a short shelf life. There are enough normies making progress on batteries that Elon hasn't got a credible argument that he is different and better.

Same for cheap Teslas. Some hype trains hit the buffers sooner than later.

Thank you! I think that's a great idea, and will definitely look into implementing this.

Have you seen https://tangled.org/

Oh don’t forget that calling someone a lier is consider off limits too!

It's not a stretch to see a direct connection to mental health issues and suicide

Cool!
