sysguest··on Exit IP VPN servers mitigation rollout
> then both CSS and SVG are significantly more risky.

how???

sysguest··on Microsoft reports AI is more expensive than paying human employees
temperature drops on mountain areas...
sysguest··on Microsoft reports AI is more expensive than paying human employees
well datacenters should go near power plants or cool mountain areas

for ML training loads, it just doesn't make sense to build them near residential areas for few millisecs

sysguest··on Deno 2.8
well deno has 'allow-read' 'allow-write' kind of permission, so if something tries to read from my ~/.ssh or other important folder, it can just block it

even with blocking lifecycle scripts, the attacker could have planted it somewhere else or just trick the dev somehow to run it

sysguest··on Deno 2.8
well bun could 'gradually become deno':

1. add 'enhanced security mode' that's actually 'deno-compatible/like' (permissions, etc)

2. mark libs/executables/etc as 'enhanced security compatible'

3. ...merge by buying out deno?

sysguest··on Deno 2.8
this

we nodejs devs were just ignorant/lazy

npmjs should mark libs "deno compatible" and move over to deno gradually for security

sysguest··on Deno 2.8
yeah it's such a pity deno's security features could have made recent npm attacks moot...
sysguest··on Deno 2.8
well benchmarks that's why

if the numbers look good, I pick it up -- though whether the numbers actually hold in reality is... well something I should check... but won't due to laziness...

I should check actual perf numbers... well next week or month?

sysguest··on Seattle Shield, an intelligence-sharing network operated by the Seattle police
well even if it's "social function", do want to be labeled as retarded?

I just can't imagine tainting my name by joining those scientology retards...

sysguest··on Seattle Shield, an intelligence-sharing network operated by the Seattle police
damn I wonder how many scientology believers in intel actually believe in scientology...

I mean, it shows how much intel agencies can "screen for high intelligence individuals" ?

sysguest··on MacBook Neo Deep Dive: Benchmarks, Wafer Economics, and the 8GB Gamble
well it's really difficult to get internal temperature even to 70 celsius...
sysguest··on The limits of Rust, or why you should probably not follow Amazon and Cloudflare
well rust async is 'still evolving' right now

it's better than being stuck, but it's not '100% polished' right now (though some crates do make the experience somewhat more polished: especially dtolnay's crates)

sysguest··on The locals don't know
well that's not always the case - I live in place where you can jog with earphones at 2AM and only worry about drunk drivers (very rare)

as a local, there was a lot of places that are "visible to foreigners but invisible to locals" -- cafes/view spots/hipster-places that only advertises to foreigners (they didn't even have signboards) I learnt about those places when some foreign friends took me there

sysguest··on Bun's experimental Rust rewrite hits 99.8% test compatibility on Linux x64 glibc
> I am so tired of worrying about & spending lots of time fixing memory leaks and crashes and stability issues. it would be so nice if the language provided more powerful tools for preventing these things.

haven't used zig...(only used rust)

but zig doesn't solve those problems?

sysguest··on A network smuggling Starlink tech into Iran to beat internet blackout
this

well... so obvious

sysguest··on Vercel’s pricing page
but... none of this justifies hiding price info...?

I mean, it would only justify being expensive

sysguest··on How Mark Klein told the EFF about Room 641A [book excerpt]
well people want to finish their work and go home, that's why

I know HNers don't like "surveillance everywhere", but...

if you're some law enforcement, every chance to get info means hours/days saved on your work... so you reach for the "easy-way": if you can get comms of a drug gang, you can identify who belongs to that gang (instead of risking their own life by actually 'joining' the gang)

But... some do cross their lines (eg watching comms of their ex, getting paid by political actors to listen over opponents, etc)

it's not like law enforcements are 100% bad guys, but things are "complicated"

sysguest··on UAE to leave OPEC
> Iran shown more restraint then Israel and USA against other countries > They played tit for tat.

like... firing missiles at UAE...? launching drone to dubai tower?

did India do anything to iran to get its ships fired upon?

blocking hormuz strait... that alone was enough to trigger global coalition -- though due to Trump's trade dick move to allies... no one sent troops...

if it's "tit for tat", then why does iran make so many un-related countries suffer (eg india?)

well simple: iran is the new pirate of 21st century. nothing more or less.

if anyone says "that's because US attacked", then if I got hit by a car, can I have my revenge on nearby pedestrians?

sysguest··on Bugs Rust won't catch
hmm... maybe a 'write lock' on the directory? though this will become more hairy without timeouts/etc...
sysguest··on UAE to leave OPEC
> 2) but since you asked, they do, western media just refuse to show it but all you need to do is follow a bunch of israeli instagram accounts and you'll see more than enough sooner rather than later

woah... big claims here! maybe you should post source?

sysguest··on UAE to leave OPEC
well where do YOU draw the line then?

One side openly tries to do maximum death on everyone including infants (eg. fire random missiles, intifada, and the oct 7th attack)

The other side at least tried their best NOT to attack back (expensive missile defense systems) or at least kill only the militants selectively (walkietalkie boomboom)

I mean, you should be ashamed of even comparing israel vs iran/hamas/etc

sysguest··on UAE to leave OPEC
> Israelis also rape, kill, and do other vile things to prisoners, innocent or guilty, who they imprison with or without charge.

well but do israelis parade their dead rape victims openly?

> When you make a ceasefire and then strike first

well that's between trump and iran? did netanyahu agree?

I agree that netanyahu is being a dick here: he should have focused on iran, instead of invading lebanon. That alone is a huge political/PR mistake

but... how's that ceasefire related? is israel a proxy of usa? does Trump control israel directly?

Ethically, the israel politicians goes at great length NOT to damage civilians: the walkie-talkie bomb is a classic example of "try to kill all the militants WITHOUT carpet bombing"

(though they failed to "kill all" with that scheme, and... well they did bomb a lot after that)

sysguest··on UAE to leave OPEC
hmm isn't the whole thing a continuation of "revenge against hamas's attack on Oct 7th 2023" ?

hamas being a proxy to iran, I don't get why people think iran as some "peace loving, innocent country"

well, are they?

raping/killing some *foreigners* and displaying their bodies as parade...

well that's not very "peace loving and innocent" is it?

sysguest··on Rust Memory Management: Ownership vs. Reference Counting
yeah it's too many generic depth...

there ought to be a crate that handles "Vec<Rc<RefCell<..." part (maybe https://crates.io/crates/orx-concurrent-vec ? haven't tried it yet)

sysguest··on Why has there been so little progress on Alzheimer's disease?
well oil companies funded "lead fuels are safe" research...

...and it really did backfire (in public relations, politics, etc)

now... I don't think they can actually fund 'research-for-their-profit' -- I mean, would you believe "petro is good for earth" research coming from oil companies, even after the 'lead is good or neutral' research?

sysguest··on 'Hairdryer used to trick weather sensor' to win Polymarket bet
well the bravery for robbing a bank deserves some respect, not jail time

sexual assulters deserve respect due to their manliness and will-to-action

hmm can't see what's wrong here? well that's your intelligence level

sysguest··on Brands got worse on purpose
hmm... but that doesn't guarantee that the customer will buy from "my main brand"

rather, if I know A is a "family brand" of B(rooks bro?), then I'll try to NOT buy from A, and buy from C/D/E/F/G/etc instead

sysguest··on Notion leaks email addresses of all editors of any public page
> Oh I needed to disclose user data in order to make more money

hmm maybe they should've paywalled?

sysguest··on NIST scientists create 'any wavelength' lasers
> As long as they fit into the same place in their worldview

but... "same place in their worldview" model goes awry when things to slightly off course

most people are ok with calling rgb(255,0,0) red, but some will argue with rgb(200, 50, 20)

sysguest··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
well "want to" isn't "does not have to"
