For those worried, I found a repo with a collection of up-to-date scripts and package lists to help check for any infections: https://github.com/lenucksi/aur-malware-check

The AUR is user supported and thus malware sneaks into packages all the time, although admittedly not to this scale. Still, it's pointedly not secure and has always had "here be dragons" signs plastered all around it.

It's not the AUR. It's the rolling release cycle, and probably even more importantly, lack of support options.

You literally have a proton email address on your profile.

Looks well documented. I applaud the author for not just sharing code, but taking the time to teach how to use it and how it was made.

This sounds exactly like the kind of thing that will be outlawed in thirty years after tracing back the root cause of the second great depression.

Exactly. If AI is going to start being graded on how many LoC it generates- oh, I'm sorry, how much it "accelerates", than guess what newer models will start doing more of?

Because if they suddenly stop, it will quite likely have devastating repercussions for the entire globe. Weather patterns (which also effects food growing), sea life (more food), and probably some other non-food related things too!

Thanks for posting this. I've been looking at getting one but this has made me pause.

I don't know what it's like to be a pilot, to be responsible for not just your own life and million dollar aircraft, but the hundred-so passengers onboard.

But I do know what it's like working in a draconian safety-crazy job where if you're caught not following a safety-related SOP you're basically fucked.

I can't blame them too much.

Yeah, but the fact scalpers can immediately turn around and easily sell it for 1k on eBay doesn't detract from the point.

I couldn't tell from the paper, but perhaps I missed it. Is this learned behavior hereditary?

There may be multiple ways it works, but we don't fully understand all of them. However, here is one study about the feet to show I'm not spouting AI generated bullshit: https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(19)...

As I understand it, DEET just prevents biting as they don't like the taste of it, and they taste with their feet. Thus, it doesn't do much to prevent initial attraction.

Edit: thought I'd include a link to a study about this as it's not well known. https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(19)...

I didn't know either, so I started searching around. Just typing "limited run games" in DDG the suggested search that pops up is "limited run games controversy", which is never a good sign. Looks like there have been a few issues and even settlements.

No video, but I play this on a CRT with a flash cart and it looks and plays amazing. Way better than playing it on steam via a modern display, even with the fancy CRT shaders they give you.

I would say it showed though. The game basically had zero story, and that's why.

That's a good point. I think I'd solve this in two steps.

0) scripts and plugins should only be able to operate on the text in the vault. Just like how I expect a snippet of JavaScript running in my browser to only have access to the website and not to my entire disk.

1) Any commands that run outside of this sandbox need to be approved first. Obviously this could get annoying, but there's tricks you could use here to help.

Obviously this is a high level approach and I'm not on their team, so this is basically armchair programming. But since you asked, it's okay. ;)

There's open, and then there's "full disk access, even outside the vault" open.

Nice! I didn't know about those. Although it's hard to directly compare rates since cost can be so geographically dependant.

Because there's this belief that a for-profit company will naturally be more efficient. No idea if that's actually true in practice though. Or if efficiency > the profits the company takes.

I don't know of any large community ran utilities, just small ones. I'm guessing the scale starts being a problem eventually.

Yes, but the cost per kilowatt is at least partially based on capex recovery. That might be approved by the PSC but what they approve are capex projects and the recovery of them.

Agreed. There may be some situations where I may want to ensure 100% correctness. I'm thinking life or death scenarios, (which if so, maybe should use a different protocol). However, checking the sports score or looking at cat memes isn't that.

I think at least part of the reason for this is acknowledging that the web isn't much of a web any longer. You've got three or four vendors that serve the vast majority of all internet traffic. And it's not happenstance that those same vendors now control something which was originally meant to be democratic.

Most of this document reads to me like that's the problem they're trying to solve, not just chrome's huge marketshare, so simply not targeting it doesn't serve their purpose.

> AI didn't take our jobs. Greed did. Same greed that moved factories to Bangladesh and keeps slaves in cobalt mines in the Congo, wearing a new mask. Tell the nephew to do something else. Anything. It won't save him either, but at least he won't have to pretend the thing destroying his life is a robot.

This hit me hard. This article is art. I think I need to sleep on this and read it again in the morning.

ICANN rules dictate that WHOIS contact info must be accurate. Their contact info currently points to a NY address.

Isn't this grounds for having their domain name revoked?

I think you took a wildly different interpretation of this art than I did.

Sure, and my desktop computer just reports 100% battery level? Which can't be easily replicated by a static header in the bot?

This would be a silly thing to use to identify bots.

"Rewind to 1973. The operating system common on microcomputers was CP/M. The CP/M operating system had no environment variables. That sounds like a strange place to start a discussion of environment variables, but it’s actually important."
