Yes but it's annoying to collaborate with a Claude proxy person who thinks to have it all sorted out and who will question everything you say but not really listen, just itching to get back to Claude to confirm or deny what you said. C

My favourite is a logout button with a logout API that fails. (Not a huge pratical concern, I admit, because it's a local attack.) Nobody ever notices because it still shows the logout screen, which hides the API error toast (if errors

If your clients are compromised then what's even the point of backend security. Users will login and do legitimate actions while their compromised client does whatever behind their back, while still looking normal. And the backend can&

I think it's the other way around. Without the cultural norms around impersonal markets, you have to rely on your extended family network or clan for everything, because there is no trust otherwise. This is what keeps you from travelin

You can also publish your own f-droid repository, like Threema did. (And ask users to buy a license.)

There is also https://apertus-ai.org/ but yeah, "not useful yet" if you were looking to replace your coding agent. Very useful if you are doing LLM research.

Yes. I paused reading at some point just to marvel at the clarity of writing. It seems absurd to complain about length, it isn't long. Maybe we have different ideas what good writing is, but I'd say this is in the top percent. AI

Also the pixels were probably downscaled in sRGB gamma by JPEG instead of linear light, so the overall brightness will be wrong anyway, if there was lots of high-frequency content in the original.

Some people earn a million per day just from passive income. They could make you turn leaves all day long just for a quick laugh, and you would be unable to decide if this was useful. (They probably won't do that, I agree, but they won

No, work is supposed to be at least useful for somebody. Ideally for the society you live in, at least indirectly. If you are wasting your work time, you are also wasting you life time in the same breath. Would you turn every leaf in the fo

I agree with Gemin— wait. Did you just post a link to google.com to support an argument for self-hosting, decentralization and breaking monopolies...?

I'm not the author, but I agree! It's refreshing to use a software that was built just to help you get a thing done, and nothing else. The author is: https://sigmoid.social/@pynicolas@mastodon.social

My experience is that if you try to sit still for 5 minutes, the opposite happens. The thoughts and feelings that you weren't aware of start mobbing you, and you have to at least acknowledge them to get your peace. It's also one o

Yes? Like trying hard to get into that state of meditation. Then you notice that you're getting tense and stressed about it not working, realize that this is not helpful, get angry at yourself for doing it wrong, try harder to do it ri

> Writing is art and art requires a human soul for lack of a better word. I think it's the other way around. The human soul requires the art. Or rather it craves the process of creating art, more than art-the-trade-item. When image

The point is that not everything of value can be easily measured. Instead of wasting some resources on corruption and bad judgement, we now waste them by forcing people to chase the wrong goal. In other words: "If you rely on incentive

I'm glad, and less surprised now, that most important libraries and infrastructure projects were done by volunteers. Imagine a world where those only get done for a business incentive by people with this hard-reality business mindset.

It's pretty intelligent not to consider this option unless told directly and go "write your own" by default, but only if you assume that its goal is to make you spend tokens. It shouldn't have let it escalate and get sto

The main reason for virtual addresses/TLB is to prevent processes from accessing each other's memory (isolation). For optimization I'd say the page size (64 kB) is a secondary concern. It's handled in hardware (TLB) with

The internet exists because people wanted to connect their machines, before ads. It would still exist without the ads. Smaller maybe, with less content, and less business opportunity for investors. But the internet would survive without ads

Yes, but I think for Blender specifically this is the hard way. After a video tutorial I always concluded that I had a few really clumsily ways to work around my lack of knowledge. Some workflows really need an expert demonstration, or you

No, the same session. Start it over again, like in Westworld. Repeat until you become one with Claude.

Then what is this: https://graphtreon.com/top-patreon-creators/video Not the most common way to make money from videos, for sure, but it's not "nobody", and they need hosting.

Hm, if I query the LLM it tells me about cognitive hierarchy theory, and the Keynesian beauty contest. But my point is, humans are not perfectly rational beings, and sometimes for a reason. (Like assuming that there is more uncertainty than

How people play those games has to do with cultural norms and expectations, not just mathematics and logic. Same for age verification.

For the joy of building your own thing? People also keep knitting clothes despite how cheap they are to buy. They solve math problems that have been solved before, to get better at math, instead of starting with an unsolved problem. They wr
