As misguided and misinformed as some of it may be, the "anti AI" and "no more datacenters" pushback in the US is actually working to some extent. Multiple states and locales have issued construction/permit moratoriu

Another reason is hardware fragmentation. An Android developer has to account for over 20,000 unique devices, compared to an Apple developer targeting around 40 supported models at most.

Apple has a very different business model than Google (Alphabet). It's not even close to the same in terms of how they make most of their money.

No, because the GU in GUID stands for globally unique. Adding it to a second image would cause a detectable collision. Also, C2PA, another technology mentioned in the article, means tampering is easily detected.

I'm also curious if they used Mythos. Google definitely had access to it via Project Glasswing. However, your logic doesn't hold. That sentence only tells us they were using multiple models, but offers no real clues as to which pr

Yes but parent was saying use passphrases, which is the same, just more like "correct horse battery staple". Parent then correctly pointed out there are a large number of sites that enforce special characters, numerical digits, et

But more specifically why build a stack tied to a single vendor? You talk about competent SRE being hard to find and manage but then you describe needing several AWS backend specialists. I think I'd rather have a generalized SRE team w

I hear you on IP law, but how it applies to AI training is far from settled. I don't believe we should have software patents, and I am highly skeptical of the US copyright system in general. As for why I didn't use a piracy analog

"Amazon's CEO knew what he was doing" is not a fact. That's speculation. When it comes to highly technical, fast moving developments like frontier AI and blue team / red team perspectives, I could see any CEO gettin

Imagine a super intelligent speed reading human in a library. If they read all the books and are able to understand, conceptualize and summarize that knowledge for others, is it theft? The books weren't stolen, after all, just read. Th

Gboard hasn't been updated in 4 years and as a result the UI doesn't always display properly. It's especially jarring on iOS 26. It doesn't fit into the OS keyboard target area properly (on my iPhone 17 Pro, at least). I

I’m struggling with the utility of this logic. The argument seems to be "because malware can intercept /proc output, any tool relying on it is inherently unreliable." While that’s theoretically true in a security context, it

I just installed it and it seems really promising. Glad you shared it here. I’ve spent more time than I care to admit searching for a good keyboard app in the App Store, and I’ve tried a lot of them. This one never surfaced for me in any of

Ah, ok... a transparent proxy just to hide the origin IP. Thanks for clarifying. A lot of people are assuming full proxying, but I understand you were describing a hypothetical.

This is wrong. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how certificate authorities (CAs) work. A certificate has to be signed by a trusted CA (one your browser already trusts). A DNS provider could mint a self-signed cert for pornhub.com

No, I don't think they are proxying traffic. They are giving the website operators a spoofed EDNS Client Subnet which tricks them into thinking the traffic is coming from a different geolocation.
