Me too. It’s infuriating and unsafe. I don’t drive often, but when I do it’s out of the city where I’m unfamiliar and need a map. So I also stopped using Google Maps for driving. Who at Google seriously believes that it’s good idea to 1) un

I’m surprised they think the AI generated rewrite is even copyrightable.

What? Yes they do take shortcuts and hacks. They change the tests case to make it pass. As the context gets longer it is less reliable at following earlier instructions. I literally had Claude hallucinate nonexistent APIs and then admitted

The package management story on Linux is hideously bad. The next generation replacements are all over the place (do I use snaps? Flatpak?). No one is going to learn Nix if it means you need to become a programmer just to install something.

I’m not convinced LLMs can ever be secured, prompt injection isn’t going away since it’s a fundamental part of how an LLM works. Tokens in, tokens out.

I’m not exactly sure about ZKPs but for age verification the “proof” can come from the government but in such a way that the web service doesn’t know anything more than whether an assertion is true, and the government doesn’t know anything

Hilarious and frightening. I don’t want LLMs anywhere near anything remotely important. We’ve already had to remove a few dependencies from our projects because of CVEs caused by careless LLM usage upstream. We are so screwed.

I would not trust any of these. They are a security disaster, lacking even basic features for securing your device against tampering and hacking. There is a reason GrapheneOS is number one and a reason why they only run on Pixels (for now).

Linux doesn’t really rely on Linus for coding anymore…

Based on the absolute trash I usually get out of ChatGPT, Claude, etc, I wouldn’t say that it writes “working” code.

I don’t think there is a solution. It’s the way LLMs work at a fundamental level. It’s a similar reason why they can never be trusted to handle user input. They are probabilistic generators and have no real delineation between system instru

I think it’s because the state is leaving the backend server running the LLM and output to the browser, where various attacks are possible to send requests out to the internet (either directly or through social engineering). Avoiding C mean

Why the scare quotes? Graphene’s focus on security is legitimate and well founded. They are the only phone OS that is consistently safe from hacking by the likes of Cellebrite long after all other androids have fallen.

I liked it when I was 17 but have soured on it later after re-reading. The only reason their libertarian revolution succeeds is because they have a centralised computer that secretly does everything for them.

I also want to know who is truly remote. So many times a listing says remote from anywhere but then click through to the JD and it’s remote from cali or remote from USA.

Not to the same degree or extent… the departure from reality and rejection of any facts they don’t like, rejection of scientific thinking, is waaaaay way more of a right wing problem.

I mean, yeah, but you could also do a lot of high powered randomized trials about kinds of cookies and learn that 80% of people always prefer eating the cookies with cocaine in them.

Not at all. There are many legal ways to receive free copies of newspapers. No one is going to come beat me up just because I didn’t read all the ads.

Another edge case is that phone numbers get transferred and reused. I might verify the number, and then stuff happens in the real world while I haven’t logged into your service, and someone new registers with my number. The number is assign

It might still be an acceptable risk. Most governments around the world probably don’t care that much if it’s discovered they are surveiling a journalist or lawyer. In most of the world everyone knows that journalists and lawyers are being

Wow, the police sent plainclothes thugs to her home to harass her, and her partner who is an Uygher is banned from leaving the country.

Even if they are very specific claims, it still can’t be something that would be obvious to the average automotive engineer trying to solve the problem. There needs to be some kind of inventive step involved.

No, but a patent can be invalidated if you can show that the idea is obvious to practitioners of the trade, i.e. given the same problem most software engineers would arrive at the same solution.

Both cookies and localStorage are usually stored in an SQLite db… localStorage is totally accessible to any JavaScript running on the page, so your session can be completely hijacked and used later.
