63stack··on DoorDash to Acquire Instacart
I don't understand why this is getting downvoted, I'm surprised as well
63stack··on Today, we hacked what we'd set out to hack: the iPhone
I voted with my wallet and apple is still an untouchable giant conglomerate that does whatever it wants, what now chief?
63stack··on There isn't an easy exploit for this PHP vulnerability
AI generated comics for your CVEs, I can't even anymore
63stack··on NixOS is making me less afraid
Meh, this is not any different than pypi, npm, crates, and every single other code repository.
63stack··on NixOS is making me less afraid
Everything you said here can be done with nix as well
63stack··on DeepInfer: High-performance inference framework for DeepSeek models
How to destroy the entire US economy without firing a single bullet
63stack··on DeepSeek banned from U.S. federal civilian agencies under new DHS order
I'm looking at the generated PHP code they claim to be insecure and I can't see it. The client_secret is defined inside the file as a constant, ok it's sloppy and could be better, but this is not a vulnerability.

They claim the extract line is insecure, but never explain why, and without showing the rest of the code (what is $requiredHeaders? If it's sanitized this is a non issue) you can't even tell if it's secure or not.

The variable names being wrong (the $PayPal- ones) is probably just a "mistake" the model made, but it's not a vulnerability either.

This article could be just "burglars are burgling in your neighborhood, install our burglar alarm" from crowdstrike just as well.

63stack··on Someone on Torrent Sites Kept Fucking with My Sonarr
It does not, the protocol just defines the way the bits are exchanged. It's the torrent sites that can deal with bad torrents and your hunch is correct, the only way to avoid malware is not downloading suspicious torrents (or to be precise, not executing the downloaded files, downloading the torrent is not harmful even if the file is).
63stack··on The cost of getting a job today
What's the risk in giving someone a deepseek api key that is loaded with $5? Five dollars in deepseek tokens is enough for like a week of constant use.
63stack··on How Amazon pushes up prices all across the Internet
Every time I read something like this I think "wow the US so fucked".
63stack··on Show HN: PS2 games statically recompiled to WebAssembly
Big publishers have been pumping mtx riddled buggy crap for a good while now, I have no sympathy.
63stack··on PS5 Jailbreaks Are Escalating at an Unprecedented Pace
Vast majority don't care about the console or hardware at all, they just want an easy way to play games on a tv. If consoles disappeared tomorrow, most people would start figuring how to connect a PC to a tv. It's not difficult, it's just less convenient until they learn how to use it.
63stack··on PS5 Jailbreaks Are Escalating at an Unprecedented Pace
The latency is crap for anything that requires real time input, the increased revenue will be taken by the cloud vendors, more developers will shift to indie development. Win win win.
63stack··on Reasons to Dislike AI Coding
I don't even know how many years I have been hearing this now
63stack··on Why should I have to pay more for buses if I don't use a smartphone?
How does that compare to the operational cost of developing an app, maintaining an app, paying for the infrastructure behind it, and having the payment processors take their cut, operate customer support etc?
63stack··on Google breaks promise to provide 10 years of updates to Chromebooks
Yes
63stack··on LinkedIn Larpmaxxing
The person who only sees your contributions once a year should not decide on your promotion.
63stack··on PipePipe: NewPipe hard fork implementing SponsorBlock
This is a problem that can be solved by just pressing pause, you don't need ads for this.
63stack··on Factorio that you can touch
Nobody cares about how the game runs on <4GB vram in 2026, upgrade or play something else.
63stack··on Meta takes down a critical video about meta AI Glasses after filming at Meta
This is a problem you have to solve yourself, without relying on making facial scanning and profiling tech widespread.

The simple solution is that you live with the small amount of awkwardness this generates.

63stack··on Meta takes down a critical video about meta AI Glasses after filming at Meta
The hypocrisy is that meta is creating a tool that their employees are very uncomfortable seeing used on them.

What the law says about consent is irrelevant to the hypocrisy, and the videos are automatically uploaded to meta without anyone's consent anyway. You know this very well, there is no need to cosplay the smart devil's advocate.

63stack··on Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on [fixed]
>via our new extensibility system for CC, called Mods, which is launching soon-ish. A mod is a plugin with a new type of hook, which we call a function hook.

An extensibility system called mods, which is a plugin with a new type of hook that we call function hook?

I can't tell if this is real, or you are making fun of overengineered AI solutions.

Is this real?

63stack··on ZuckOff Know when a camera is in the room
Great idea, we could also have a standard in browsers that signals you don't want to be tracked. We could call it the "Do not track" header, short for DNT.

It would make sure no websites track you.

63stack··on How to Write with an LLM
I may not be the one that came up with a thought originally, but I can echo it because I agree with it.
63stack··on Dario, Please
I disagree, the article was straightforward and easy to read.
63stack··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash Uncensored
Coming straight from the Anthropic marketing department
63stack··on OpenAI have no mathematicians capable of understanding what they put out
Are there any precedents that companies got sued on this? Not that I doubt you, but it would be nice to see if it actually has teeth or not.
63stack··on How I advertise malicious software on Google Ads
>If we lived in a sane world, people would simply pay for what they use

This is some proper, indoctrinated, corporate bootlicker mentality.

95% of the phones on the market will spy on you, send your data back to the mothership, and they will sell your data to 3rd parties, and they cost $1400-$2000. You pay for the phone which is not even yours after the purchase, and then you still get ads, spied on, and your data sold. Google has a very large monetary incentive already to protect their customers and they do jack shit about the malware/adware in the play store.

TVs are even worse. LG TVs were just found to spy on you and nearby devices while they are off. Do you think those TVs are free? No, they also cost a fortune.

The current state of the world is that even if you pay you will get ads, spying, and malware. Get your head out of your ass.

63stack··on On Really Trying (2009)
Achieving something rather than nothing is obviously better, full stop. Bringing dead parents into this is just self help book literature.
63stack··on I refused to train the AI that could replace me
Most people's existence are very strongly tied to their job. Not being able to pay basic utilities and food just the first examples.

Obviously, nobody is going to blip out of existence when their layoff notice is signed, everyone knows this and nobody claimed that. If you stepped down from your philosophical post humanist highchair a bit, you would realize that.
