> "If I throw away a cable, and then I need that same cable, I'll kill myself. I will go to the store and buy it, and then hang myself in the parking lot." "I know, it's not a matter of life and death, it's much worse than that."

gclawes··on Omarchy: 1Password and 37signals become Distinguished Corporate Patrons
Yeah and Ubuntu just started as customized Debian
gclawes··on Our position on open-weights models
I think the worse possibility his he actually believes his safety bullshit, believes that he and people who think like him are the only ones with the special knowledge required to do safety correctly, and that they're justified in accumulating total power of this market to people who think like them (which just so happens to be Anthropic).
gclawes··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
Some people want to live in Star Trek, but don't want to look up and see McKinley Station in the sky...

gclawes··on Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS
Could this be a road to getting GrapheneOS approved under Play Integrity (for contactless payments, etc)?
gclawes··on Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War
The government should be entitled to any lawful use of a product they purchase, not uses dictated solely by the provider. It's up to courts to decide what lawful use is, it's not up to these companies to dictate.
gclawes··on Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War
> This contradictory messaging puts to rest any doubt that this is a strong arm by the governemnt to allow any use.

Why the hell should companies get to dictate on their own to the government how their product is used?

gclawes··on BarraCUDA Open-source CUDA compiler targeting AMD GPUs
What's the benefit of this over tinygrad?
gclawes··on Discord/Twitch/Snapchat age verification bypass
Don't Windows Hello camera devices have some kind of hardware attestation? I'm sure verification schemes like this will eventually go down that path soon.

My guess is that's probably one of the reasons Google tried to push for Play Store only apps, provide a measurable/verifiable software chain for stuff like this.

gclawes··on Oxide raises $200M Series C
If I could use the Oxide stack in a homelab form factor, I would be so happy...

gclawes··on I'm a laptop weirdo and that's why I like my new Framework 13
I very much want a Framework 13 with a decent AI chip, but the abysmal battery life is a hard stop for me, sadly. I know this isn't entirely on Framework (get your shit together AMD).
gclawes··on Framework Sponsors CachyOS
I think drumming up interest in getting users to run Linux on frameworks is a way for them to go back to vendors and try to get them to fix issues like power consumption that bugs the hell out of users (looking at you AMD)
gclawes··on India orders smartphone makers to preload state-owned cyber safety app
It's not really that a digital ID can be used to spy on people (governments can already do this to a pretty large degree without needing spyware). It's that it's a permission system that can be instantly updated and centrally managed by people that have legal authority to spy on you.

If your digital ID is controlled centrally by the government (the guys that are watching most things you do already), and you need your digital ID to do most commercial interactions (banking, buying things, travel, etc), it means the government can revoke your ability to do any of those commercial interactions (or even other things that aren't strictly commercial, think "travel papers" for driving out of state).

And it doesn't even have to be in response to criminal actions. You too too many trips this year? Well, you've used up your CO2 budget as a citizen, have fun not buying CO2-intensive food (meat). Said something racist online? Well we certainly can't let a person like you buy a car now, can we?

And yes, things like credit cards and credit scores are centrally managed to a degree, and Visa/Mastercard can deny transactions for somewhat-arbitrary reasons (they're actually fairly legally limited in how they can do this, it's not totally arbitrary). But these things are not tied into every aspect of your life (your bank doesn't necessarily know how many miles you've driven this year), whereas states can (or can invent the legal authority to) tie a digital ID into everything.

Well it is only version v0.2
