> Many gamers who defend artists and hate AI with a passion turn 180 once you mention software: suddenly LLM code is acceptable, and obviously everyone uses LLMs anyway, and AI disclaimers for code are unnecessary. There is a big differe

All you need to pull that off is public info, student level knowledge and access to a lab with standard equipment. As you said labs do things like that all the time. Its already easy even without powerful AI. The reason we dont see any se

Only one of them is directly harmful to users (the job applicant scheme). Everything else is enabling their own users to break the law only if they want to , and I think that is a good public service. Of course it might hurt legit users by

Receiving signals is impossible to control. That is why every spy agency set up number stations in the Cold War. All you need is a radio hooked up to a computer and it gives off zero signal of its own so no one can trace it. Sending is a bi

The redacted parts are a lot more than names and detailed locations. I think there should be a law that any info is fully public after like 20 years unless releasing it would put a specific person or named group in danger, like a source&#

Godot is a pretty monolithic engine and I don't know if you can really compile it down to a reasonable size for non game use cases. The scripting language is pretty slow and I remember coding in C++ was painful even after 4.0. I think

People don't want documents. Almost everything useful you do on the web is some form of interactive app from a simple forum with no JS to Figma or 3D games. I think we need to go the other way, all in on apps. The browser only has to e

Is there a way to only apply this to corporate profits but not the labor market? A world where production and labor demand is constantly growing but returns stay flat would be a great one.

So we're randomly getting free Claude and helping China beat America at the same time? The only problem with it is they might have worse security than Anthropic and your personal info gets leaked, but I don't think it can happen

It does have bearing if your definition of consciousness rests on free will and you think that's incompatible with determinism. Now I don't think a lot of people seriously believe that [1] but it's not some logical nonsense

PC gamers know piracy is always an option. There's even a reliable Denuvo bypass now if you're willing to play on Linux. The real power Steam has over its customers is a lot less than console makers, even if it's legally the

Xbox already lost one console war over plans to stop the second hand market so they know how important it is to players. Their new disc to digital feature is proof they are looking at Sony's mistakes and slowly moving in the opposite d

Remove DRM laws and make copyright on all media expire after 5 or 10 years off market. Abandoned franchises should get the same treatment. Call it Sackboy's Law. See how quick Sony and EA rush to port their back catalogue.

To be fair Iran back then wasn't a system like the UK or Sweden where the king's power is limited to signing laws. It worked more like Gulf states today with a much more personal form of government, the Shah could freely appoint m

- Attention spans are overrated. I know that because I have a pretty short one to the point it's annoying for others. It measures how much you're willing to focus on something you don't want more than the ability to focus

In my mind being a hacker is something very anarchist/left libertarian coded. Hackers don't try and get laws passed to achieve their goals, they do it themselves no matter if it's legal or not. Activists fight for right to re

The animation system is good for most use cases but it's also super hard to do anything procedural like UI animation. If you want to animate a button you need to write 5 helpers to make it less painful. It's mostly designed for im

You can have smart wallets with reversible transactions. Even chargeback systems where both sides agree on a neutral judge to decide who's right. It takes time to set it up in a way that's secure, low cost and has good UX, but it&

Both will eventually develop a strict hierarchy where you're only accountable to people up the chain of command, not down. There is no way to prevent that because it's a lot easier to keep one person satisfied than a whole team yo

Opt out instead of a full ban? I can't believe Australia of all countries is the one enforcing user choice. EU should take notes.

Possibly. If you can prove they did it on purpose to prevent customers from leaving that might count as malicious interference with their contract.

I see the article as saying there is no easy fix that can fully remove scams without also making it expensive to register a domain, or even dangerous if your ID becomes public. These things are supposed to contradict each other because they

I think the only reasonable and fair solution is building a reputation system on top of DNS. Browsers and message apps would show a warning if the score for a domain is low and completely block those that are rated "known scam"

It's derived from a password. The article is from a cyber investigation company and Cronos is a Russian database, so I guess they got some files leaked from a CIS based threat actor and the password wasn't included.

Just put a rate limit to make sure your servers don't get overloaded. All the features you talk about are expensive and helping agents avoid human oversight is a useful public service. Let a thousand secret message-boards bloom.
