They are nice for skydiving and probably some other sports where action cams are dangerous / awkward. It's definitely niche tho.

No, it will simply be a slow and steady increase of pressure on the working age population: taxes, retirement age delayed further and further, "everyone must work", etc...

I agree that the ultra-rich living on permanent fake debt backed by their stocks / real estate need to contribute more, but I'm tired of seeing people throw "we can tax the rich" as a panacea. Productivity is growing muc

Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android are definitely much easier to use and more intuitive than Linux today. That’s because their developers are incentivized to put themselves in the shoes of less-skilled users and figure out how to build a good

Most official repositories have policies that are incompatible with the needs of software vendors (release timing, supported versions, bundled dependencies, etc...). IMO a lot of the blame falls onto the package manager ecosystem refusing t

It's crazy to me that even after seeing so many major software distributors choose `curl | sh` as their entry point, people like you will still argue to the ends of the earth that there’s no problem with the package manager ecosystem.

A lot of those scripts are wrappers around package managers. Creating them is extra work for distributors, but they still do it because package-manager installs are not truly one-liners and offer far less control over the installation exper

The "like an adult" is what has and will continue to hold back linux on the desktop. Always gatekeeping less technical users instead of acknowledging adoption and ease of use are critical.

Nah bro package manager where you copy and paste their custom repo and key from the same website that hosts the `.sh` is definitely safer, trust me /s

From source: creates much more work for the user. Package managers: ecosystem is fragmented, requiring a long list of distro- and package-manager-specific instructions. Many scripts already install through package managers, they simply make

The only competitive game I’ve put serious hours into that had votekick was CS, and teams would almost never kick their own cheaters, even when they were obvious, because they wanted that sweet Elo.

Dota isn't a very cheatable game to begin with. Even with the best micro you can't reach a high elo without the appropriate high level planning skills. If we look at a game like Rust it's impossible for it to exist without a

The only effective approach is to use as many layers as possible to increase the cost of creating and using cheats. Kernel anti-cheat is an effective layer because it forces cheaters to either buy specialized hardware or gamble that their h

Same here. My home computer only runs Windows because I play competitive online games. It would be incredible if Valve built some kind of certified, locked-down kernel, but I doubt that will happen. The online discourse around this is also

I don't think it's specific to capitalism. Any system needs workers to produce enough for retirees and children. If you have more retirees and less workers any system is going to struggle.

There's a significant risk it will lead to a large reduction in living standards. A lot of things like retirement funds are built with the assumption of infinite growth. This assumption will obviously break one day and when it does I d

A maintainer that is mainly motivated by the 3.8k stars aspect is probably not the person you want. Working on critical OSS software is fun until it's not, especially when you are not paid for that work.

It might be the wrong place to do security anyway since `bash` and other hard-to-control tools will be needed. Sandboxing is likely the only way out

I'm not sure that's true. While it obviously won't impact the general behavior of the models much If you get a very similar situation the model will likely regurgitate something similar to this interaction.

by arbll 7mo ago
Technically it will since this interaction will be commented a lot online which will feed back in the next models training runs

CDN are by essence proprietary because they are infrastructure vendors. They can be built with open source software but what they are selling isn't software, it's physical servers. The alternative is going on-prem which is impossi

I think you are misunderstanding what cloudflare provides if you think Anubis is an alternative. Even if we only consider bot protection they are completely different solutions.

Ah yes because both of those alternatives are non-profits right ?

Rust (not the language) is another good exception that is mostly powered by DLCs and skins today. Continuous updates with balance changes keep the game fresh, ensuring you maintain your playerbase that will in turn buy DLCs.

> The attackers gained access to a legacy, third-party cloud file storage system. I think the answer is ok but the "third-party" bit reads like trying to deflect part of the blame on the cloud storage provider.

While you benefit from the V8 fixes it lacks OS-level sandboxing (see above). Chrome is safe because it stacks security layers. Runtime sandboxing is just one of them and arguably the weakest one.

by arbll 10mo ago
That's not true. It's secure because they are stacking OS-sandboxing on top, forcing attackers to find a chain of exploits instead of a single issue in V8
