Make one out of relays and use it to run PGP

The saying is "every accusation is a confession". If the political class claims to be preventing us from doing something that we obviously are not doing, we should assume they're doing that thing until proven otherwise.

Dependency tracking for security is like any other security work: the purpose is to create the perception of security, not actual security. You can sell the perception of security. You can't sell actual security. That's why every other corporation has a WAF now that doesn't block attacks but does block legitimate traffic, and how Cloudflare managed to create the world's biggest MITM without a single crime.

I really don't think a book is a derivative work of the AI model you used to proofread it.

No, the copyright is the colour of the bits, and red bits with a comment saying "these bits are blue" are not blue bits, but you may be prosecuted for fraud.

constexpr means running code at compile time. template means duplicating lots of code lots of times. these are not cheap.

Parts of the language being in the std namespace isn't really a problem. An implementation is free to treat initializer lists as a built-in type.

There should be leadership at the top focussing the efforts of developers though. Developers wanting to make new stuff doesn't only happen because of turnover.

When they don't like it. You disagree with the regime, but the vast majority of UKranians do not.

That's literally censorship though. If you get fined for saying a thing, you are being censored.

This is exactly why LLMs will replace humans: even if the work is crap, nobody will be accountable for the crap work, and it saves money.

A monopoly on what? The most popular OS is from Google.

More specifically OpenAI has agreed to be used for domestic mass surveillance and for autonomous (no human in the loop anywhere) drone attacks. ChatGPT will decide which building to destroy, and then it will be destroyed.

That's supposing the autonomous kill chain needs more than one 9. There are wars going on right now with less than 20% targeting accuracy.

"Portable" has originally meant "able to be ported" and not "is already ported"

This isn't a meta–commentary about the Cloudflate block page?

ARM has always been little-endian. Some were configurable endian.

And it's not a hole. We're not about to spend 100 cycles parsing a decimal string that could have been a little-endian binary number, just because you feel a dependency on a certain endianness is architecturally impure. Know what else is architecturally impure? Making binary machines handle decimal.

GNOME has changed drastically. It's nothing like Gnome 2.

It's a DWIM button.

They probably didn't - that's why we have bitcoin instead. Nobody knew how to solve the double spend problem until bitcoin.

Why downvoted? Every dependency you have on a bank account is a serious vulnerability.

Working at a computer isn't a worse quality of life any more than any other job. It's actually pretty nice versus being a plumber or something. No sewage in the workplace.

We are hackers. We can make technology that serves us. But why don't we?

It's a free charity service, and the hundred million dollars per year the taxpayers pay the same person for some other excuse has nothing to do with it, honest

How can an evil corp that isn't the government tax you?

The purpose of a system is what it does. In Australia, they want you to go 50. In the USA, they want a reason to fine you.

This is why I switched to Kagi. Even if it's just proxying Google, it doesn't tell Google who I am.

But you could create Quake.

In the end we discovered this had nothing to do with safeguards — OpenAI simply bribed them to switch. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47197505
