  • Firefox is the biggest non-chromium browser competitor, and was an advocate of privacy and not selling user data

    But they recently did a 180, started selling user data, and are now shoving FF full of AI bloatware nobody wants

    So the userbase is feeling very betrayed

  • When doing something nefarious, the brain expects to be met with hostility. But when it's met with something it didn't expect, like social politeness, sometimes the brain freaks out and defaults back to reciprocating social politeness.

  • I understand what you mean,

    but it is technically the choice of the animal to eat more than they need on a regular basis

  • Not wanting to maintain a multi-language repo, and not wanting to maintain support for rust integration

    Edit: I kinda assumed the guy in the pic was that kernel maintainer who kept throwing a stink about Rust code, but it's apparently not

  • 700+ self-hosted Git instances battered in 0-day attacks with no fix imminent

    Jump

  • But it doesn't have any built-in concept of users, write permissions, or authentication (except for commit signing)

    Hosting an unauthenticated git repo would be the equivalent to an open ssh port with no password required

    Not to mention collaborative things like issue tracking, PRs, forums, etc

  • GitLab discovers widespread npm supply chain attack

  • Is this different from Shai Hulud 2?

    Edit: the article was published November 24, so I'm pretty sure this is just Shai Hulud 2

  • I wonder if it'd be feasible to make a fediverse github

  • Apparently, all YouTube Rewinds have been unlisted as of today.

    Jump

  • "Unlisted" means you can't find any of them via search or on the creator's page. But if you still have the URL, you can view them directly

    Which includes public playlists other people have created

  • What programming language would you recommend for teaching to non-technical people that use a variety of different OSes?

    Jump

  • Python

    It's an amazing scripting language, and my goto for writing automation scripts.

    It's the most lenient of the 3 with dynamic typing and managed memory. It'll let you learn the basics of reading / writing / running code as well as basic control flow and logic

    C is also great to learn, as it teaches you how computers work at a fundamental level, but it's more stuff to learn up front, and can lead to some very difficult to fix bugs

    Java is good as an "application" language. Being memory managed like Python, but statically typed like C. Static typing makes it easier to manage larger code bases

  • Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become alive

    Jump

  • I'm not aware of any class of problem that humans can solve that we don't think are solvable by sufficiently large computers.

    That is a really good point...hrmmm

    My conjecture is that some "super Turing" calculation is required for consciousness to arise. But that super Turing calculation might not be necessary for anything else like logic, balance, visual processing, etc

    However, if the brain is capable of something super Turing, I also don't see why that property wouldn't translate to super Turing "higher order" brain functions like logic...

  • why

  • It's likely the same as English spelling. Just years and years of repeated exposure, and you eventually pick up most of it through osmosis
