They also have their own streaming radio. Awesome list of tools. One of the few remaining shining lights of our original hacker culture, in the sense of the term from this forum’s name. Absolutely love SDF.
It’s great when you want to check on a server or IP from an outside network. You can do that from a phone but with SDF you have your full desktop terminal if you like and a clean cache.
Both the voltage and the threshold are probabilistic. Within a tight envelope sure. This is true even of the physical fields that comprise the transistor itself never mind the signal it’s designed to discretize. A more extreme example is a transistor hit with a stray gamma ray. When you dig deep enough there isn’t technically a Boolean anywhere, that’s a platonic construct that makes discussion of engineering convenient.
Anthropic A/Bs my weekly quota amount. So I have an automated prompt that runs at 3 AM with a transcription task, I measure input and output tokens, and weekly/5 hour quota before and after. The absolute token counts stay within 0.1% while in mode A it counts for 1% of my 5 hour quota and mode B 4% of my 5 hour quota.
The only time the People have anything in our sick phony republic protected is when their interests happen to coincidentally align with those of an adversarial oligarch. Not interested in digging through the 15 layers of competing interests, corporate spin, lies, and economics to determine if that’s the case here but it’s sad in any case that stories like this are the only hope we the People have of getting any crumbs out of this system.
I don’t think it’s dead at all. I use it as a phase transition to let the agent decide when discovery is sufficient, as an intermediate phase between that and implementation. Even as a human dev you rarely go tinkering with files all over without first forming a plan.
Or anything that uses multicast. The idea is you want homoiconic networking behavior and portability between local and remote. Hacking in special routing and subnets in L3 doesn’t give you that.
I don’t trust or want tools from giant for profit corporations because there’s always some bullshit, and usually by the time you figure it out you’re out time or money. Never used Tailscale and this is a perfect example of my policy working. Notice the no response, they know what they’re doing and they don’t care.
Layer 2 VPN is where it’s at anyway. I want to be on my LAN not managing one device or app at a time, I never got the wireguard hype.
You're not a scapegoat you're fodder for a social warfare diversion to enable the treasury to be looted by both parties while the economy collapses. DC's puppeteers don't give a shit about anything unless it starts with $
It's binary because you decide to use it or not. If your threat model contemplates run of the mill adversaries you don't need Signal. If it contemplates nation states you don't want it.
I don't trust Signal. The device OSes and hardware are opaque, chatty, not private or trustworthy, the network backbone is completely owned by dragnet surveillance, Dual_EC_DRBG flavored shenanigans, so how could an app running on top of this suddenly be trustworthy? Especially one that's super high profile which signals inside a dragnet "someone is working especially hard to make this secret".
FWIW Kagi has worked hard on their pricing over the last few years and has been trying different models. They're not "big search" the price is what it is so it can exist as a business. 100% fine to not be a customer obviously, but then you forfeit your license to complain about Google spying on you and ruining the web. Like they're trying to solve the problem. IMHO speaking just for myself I feel a moral duty to support them.
My next phone is an e-ink Mudita Kompact with a hardware kill switch. I can run a service to bridge iMessage if I decide I care.
With every year since they arrived in 2005 or so and especially accelerating since 2010, smartphone capability has grown with their creepiness. The expectation that you own one has almost turned into a demand. It's a total turn off. You don't need these capabilities, life goes on without it just fine. The drawbacks for your mental health and privacy are material.
Anyone could write a post about what they consider a method to do great work. 99.9% would be uninteresting including Paul’s and 99.9% wouldn’t be on HN’s front page including Paul’s if he didn’t have a bunch of 0s on his net worth.
To the contrary I find why a particular post, especially on an axis like sociology separate from its content, is on the front page to be interesting in many cases. If you don’t that’s fine.
A library and working OS utilities including a browser are not the same thing. A year or so ago I was able to get 1 very old browser working but nothing else had TLS. The browser also didn’t have modern JS which is another similar non-trivial issue.
