jakeogh··on Claude Opus 5
Anyone else not getting chain of thought? Opus 4.8 would show it to me, until around the time Fable came back. Now I dont see it with 4.8/5.0 or Fable. Not having it makes catching mistakes harder.
jakeogh··on Dark Corners of Unicode (2015)
Superscript:

Lowercase: ᵃᵇᶜᵈᵉᶠᵍʰⁱʲᵏˡᵐⁿᵒᵖʳˢᵗᵘᵛʷˣʸᶻ

Uppercase: ᴬᴮᴰᴱᴳᴴᴵᴶᴷᴸᴹᴺᴼᴾᴿᵀᵁⱽᵂ

no lower q, and no upper C,F,Q,S,X,Y or Z. And depending on the font, it might be worse.

jakeogh··on Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days
re too much shock, how so?
jakeogh··on Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days
Forced changes for one.
jakeogh··on Decreasing Certificate Lifetimes to 45 Days
"This change is being made along with the rest of the industry, as required by the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements, which set the technical requirements that we must follow."

I dont follow. Why? Why not an hour? A ssl failure is a very effective way to shut down a site.

"you should verify that your automation is compatible with certificates that have shorter validity periods.

To ensure your ACME client renews on time, we recommend using ACME Renewal Information (ARI). ARI is a feature we’ve introduced to help clients know when they need to renew their certificates. Consult your ACME client’s documentation on how to enable ARI, as it differs from client to client. If you are a client developer, check out this integration guide."

Oh that sounds wonderful. So every small site that took the LE bait needs expensive help to stay online.

Do they track and publish the sites they take down?

jakeogh··on 15,000 lines of verified cryptography now in Python
I just got bit by device attestation. Tried to install the latest ebay app version via the Aurora Store (on GrapheneOS), and instead of presenting me with the option of using my ebay login, it wanted a google account at a play store login with no way to bypass. I was able to downgrade to the previous version which does not require the Integrity API, but the walls are closing in. Only took 7 months: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41517159 (I did get ebay on the phone and filed an issue, hopefully others do the same)
jakeogh··on Upcoming Windows 11 builds cannot install without internet and Microsoft Account
No google acct here, I use fdroid and the Aurora store. I have no doubt though that google is working on killing the Aurora store.

jakeogh··on Gravitational Variation in the Speed of Light – Dr. Carver Mead, Caltech [video]
Fantastic interviewers. It's pretty rare to get such a technical conversation at a high level (as opposed to a purely technical talk) where the interviewers constantly flesh out exactly what the interviewee is saying until they feel that they understand the conversation.

No worries though, Germany is raiding peoples houses for offending people online. Please spare me the "only for Holocaust deniers" thing.

blink... They outlawed silent prayer.
jakeogh··on Ukraine 'gambling with world war three', Trump tells Zelenskyy in fiery meeting
You could have let the vote/flag ratio decide. These articles all came out within a short window. Picking the first eventually (if it hasn't already) leads to a LLM race.

Please consider a (perhaps automatic) top "some comments merged from" note in the destination thread.

I appreciate the response. AFAICT you did indeed pick the first article, and I didn't check that before I made the above comment. You do not have an easy job!

Local minimum.
jakeogh··on Asahi Linux lead developer Hector Martin resigns from Linux kernel
Maybe, I think it's more likely that a Zig soft fork would first replace the kernel build system and then, with unit tests, piece by piece port the whole beautiful thing. Zig is on a strong path to compile and interact with C better than existing C compilers.

Your comment is excellent, inspiring and quite true.

Please stay, otherwise the rest of us are stuck with the alternative (which essentially someone saying "read this wikipedia and Schrödinger original talks", with a perplexing pile of unhappyness, pretending to correct things that you didnt get wrong)

jakeogh··on Curl-Impersonate
I hit that too, there is an open bug: https://github.com/lexiforest/curl-impersonate/issues/81

Worked around it by modifying the patch: https://github.com/jakeogh/jakeogh/blob/master/net-misc/curl...

Considering the complexity, this project, and it's upstream parent and grandparent(curl proper) are downright amazing.
