Meaning, you wouldn't touch it with a ten feet pole?

Same here. Sadly I think the voices like ours won't be heard, though, because Apple's looking for someone who's going to buy in on the whole ecosystem, and I think we're not it. Or at least I'm not.

Well, I have not once found a single case where an app reacting to screenshots and controlling the process in any way was anything to me but hostile and annoying. This one does not help. It somehow is perfect example of how modern software

Potentially. The existence of the law exemplifies the idea the law is there to protect someone; all you need then to upgrade it is to argue that the current method is insufficient protection. Spirit of the law has been established - letter

It's true that open handhelds are where it's at right now. Steam Deck is also just simply a wonderful thing. Yet I know it's just somehow not the same as it's been before; architecturally, there's less innovation, j

I've seen at least 3 different ideas on this topic: - people not skilled in a thing are bad at estimating their skills - people are generally bad at estimating their skills - people skilled in a particular areas often feel they are int

What do you mean by "until"? I would argue that this situation is the _result_ of being stunted and dependent in the first place.

I enjoy the funny implication it creates, that then perhaps if you're entering US in 2026 it means there's something wrong with you.

In fact it was often mentioned as a recommended way to try to invest in SpaceX via proxy, before IPO. I don't think that advice had much merit, but it was there nevertheless.

Mind you, I'm not arguing for the CVE, just complaining that the current thinking is very selective.

Why not both? Countries should be able to signal which business practices are undesirable.

Because you know, the actual solution would be to have more granularity in authentication process than "allow whole device to attach to ADB", but that would be like, difficult... so they're not going to so that. Right now any

What I find most annoying aspect of all software from 2010s onwards is this stupid discourse and associated results: - some people want A, or A might even be already in use - A is problematic for $MODERATE_OR_MILD_REASON - B is introduced a

How do they handle these assurances? Personally I have zero trust in the AI companies not trying to use this data to get ahead in the game, and short of sharing the weights and harness so that the benchmarkers can run the models themselves,

I believe that most of terrorism does happen because the people behind it have some goals, not for funsies; so trying to fight the causes would be one thing to do. Obviously, that's difficult for many reasons, and making life more shit

Open-weight promise seems nice, but 1) I've seen people commenting that these hopes amounted to nothing for some previous releases (no idea which promises were made though); and 2) if the backbone is released as Dev, what will be missi

This looks great indeed - I wonder if there are any particular gotchas, though, as things often are in C++next land. With many of the features coming into the language over time, I kinda wish that a bit more restricted subset of it eventual

The problem being that I don't think there's a definite proof that any of human thinking is more than a sum of high-granularity partial solutions that can be put together. It could be that with enough tokens, big enough context wi

What percentage of the budget was it? I think that's also needed for a meaningful comparison. I've heard about the war taxes being high, but I don't know anything about the economy of the time otherwise.

One example I can think of: privacy preserving ML models. Company wants to keep their model safe and also perhaps not to force you to run some classification on your phone for battery savings. You want your inference features to be private,

The point is to not have subkeys or any other way to access any part of the plaintex - as the goal is generally to offset the computation and the costs of it to another party. And yes, most likely it will require a very particular format of

If it will, it will be with smartphones. YubiKeys don't quite have the properties sought here.

The idea of homomorphic encryption is to do things without the knowledge, and not gaining the knowledge. If ciphertext contains a number, and you don't need to know what number it does to always be able to multiply it by 2, you succeed

Well, for one, Debian and Debian-based distros make your home directory readable by everyone by default. Security is riddled by traps. If you can afford best possible level of isolation, why not do it?

I don't know what's worse: that they did that, or that the operating system allowed them to do that. On both macOS and Windows according to my understanding that should require admin rights, normally, not to mention the degree to

This really does - I don't mean it in a disparaging way - read like a mid-life crisis writing. Having to come to terms with the fact that the "old world" is not the current world anymore, which is too bad, because you like th

Maybe it's trivial what I'm saying, but hiring the most skilled available person does not solve the skill disparity.

Even the famously brought up cases of solo projects often end up hiring help once they become popular. Stardew Valley and Dwarf Fortress come to mind. I think for the later stages it's common to contract someone for other platforms, es
