Please tell of of this better launcher? Spotlight is so bad these days. I used to be able to pull up the calculator with cmd+space..ca[enter] but lately it grabs some other completely ridiculous thing like some random file that throws an error instead. Yeah Apple that’s what I wanted, I wanted to open the Caltable.inf file, or worse if parallels is open it picks the windows calculator first before the macOS calculator? Wtf!
We need to go one step further and make pwn.watch.watch which reports on all the unpatched vulnerabilities in the absolute shitstorm of vibecoded websites slopping onto the Internet.
I’ve seen probing for it in server logs but not actual exploiting of it. I think the botnets added it to their vulnerability scanners but I have yet to see any examples of an actual working exploit. There are hundreds of vibe coded attempts on github but none of them work to the best of my knowledge. Would love someone to prove me wrong here.
Also this post from Amazon is embarrassing. They knew about it from the 17th yet failed to meet the embargo timeline and patch Amazon Linux (their patch is due to be released today the 22nd of Oct).
I wonder if Googles products will eventually be the least vulnerable to this after spending so many years optimizing how they filter quality content from bad content.
Wow that’s a lot worse than I expected. I’m very fortunate enough to have been able to put my children in a Waldorf school, which is very low tech and embraces the chalkboards heavily.
Ehhh I thought it was fun for the 1 minute I played it while pooping. That’s about all it’s worth anyway. A meme game. Are people really thinking they’ll make money of it?
As a business owner who has meta accounts and even advertises on meta, I have long since blocked their crawler traffic. They try to hide their scraper traffic dishonestly behind user agents that purport to be Facebook users browsing the web via their Facebook browser, the thing is, I know it’s a lie because there is absolutely no reason for 1000s of Facebook users from Ireland to want to know anything about a small local business in Canada, that only services local clients within 50km radius due to the nature of the business. So I know it’s a lie, therefore was blocked. And guess what, fuck your terms of service the blocks are staying in place.
Mikrotik routers are cheap, very stable and highly configurable. Admittedly the learning curve is a bit rough, but in today’s age of agentic assistance, you can just have your LLM help you configure it.
The problem with vibecoded sites like this is nobody will take you or your idea seriously. It’s like a big rubber stamp that says “this is slop”. Hire an actual designer and make an actual website, you could still do this with AI to build it, but it will look 1000x more credible.
If you buy a new car from the dealer presumably somewhere in the fine print it gives them permission to do this. But if you buy the same car used from an individual, how does the car company still retain the right to spy? It seems like this must be breaking some sort of privacy laws.
Funny I am doing almost the same thing but with an echo dot and an rtx 3090. I should give it a go at running the processing locally, neat idea, thanks.
It certainly feels that we are witnessing the early days of LLMs and math, similar to the early days of LLMs and code. I feel this entire post sounds so similar to angry computer engineers posts from 1 or 2 years ago. If we continue on this path, eventually many of these posts will ripen like milk in a desert.
What if that’s their whole goal? Slap some regulations on it, then lobby the hell out of it to make sure their align best with shutting down access to open models.
Stratego has a special place in my heart. I have fond memories of playing it with an old family friend. Later in life I sought out an old set off eBay so I could play it with my kids. I really love that game!
Banning Atrazine, Diquat, Mancozeb, Chlorothalonil and Bromoxynil would be a good start.
I’ve noticed significantly less pollinator species in the past 20 years, many insects are dying out because of these pesticides. I won’t comment on cancer or other side effects as I’m not educated enough to know the truth, but it seems if we have one large world government universally agreeing that these things are bad, and should be banned, it feels weird that other g7 nations continue on with their head in the sand.
