All of us will be, eventually.

If I’m counting right, should be around a 1 000 per year.

I went with 168 million males in the US, so divide by 175 000 is a thousand, which is ~2.5 per day. But I might be wrong what a yearly incidence meabs.

So every morning you can ask yourself, are you going the be one of the today’s three lucky US men?

What hardware that needs? My issue with running local models was that it’s too much of a resource hog to be able to do gamedev on the same machine, and any sensible model needs pretty expensive hardware to just get a server for it. Especially with current prices.

I can’t wait for companies to finally price out most of developers out of AI use, especially the FOSS ones.

I just hope most of them won’t get too addicted to the tech crack they are getting free/cheap samples of currently, and will be able able to find back their motivation and skill to work without a feel-good dopamine machines.

Also, lol at all the coments being like “if you’re 100% against the tech crack, you’re delusional. The cat is already out of the bag, it makes you way better at coding, if you use it responsibly!”

The problem isn’t that it’s not somewhat good, the issue is that soon you won’t be able to afford it, while also being addicted and dependant on it. But I’m sure y’all are able to use crack responsibly and will be fiiine.

I highly recommend reading and at least once trying to implement the Newport’s Digital Minimalism. Even if you don’t go all in, it has a lot of food for thought in regards to technolpoy usage.

I’ve spent almost a year with a dumb Nokia (the LTE version of bananaphone) that did still have a (barely usable) Maps app and also could make a hotspot, so I could use my powered off smartphone I always carried with me for emergencies.

I have since returned back to using smartphone, mostly because of work requirements, and have fallen out of a lot of Minimalism habits, but things like turned off notifications and learning not to care about missing stuff/replying later has stayed with me. Once you get rid of notification FOMO, it’s pretty liberating.

I should get a dumb phone again.

Wouldn’t like an eight-legged crawling bot with a 360 degree camera be able to do the same and faster? Seems like there’s a lot of time spend in air where he can’t control himself that well.

I’m out of the loop, what did you find?

EDIT: I guess you’re talking about this? From a first reddit page about why is it down I could find.

The owner did it to themselves, by mounting a surreptitious DDoS campaign and altering the content of the archives to slander people, thus making it an unreliable source. This prompted Wikipedia to (correctly) remove it from all outbound links.

It’s moot if it’s online anymore or not - it’s not a valid archive.

I keep hearing about malicious QR codes, but how does it actually work? Unless there’s a serious vulnerability, how is it different from clicking on any link?

It has been a few years since I worked as a junior in offensive security, but that has been something I could never figure out when I looked into it.

Hmm, I guess you could use it for a pretty good phishing attempt. Just show a fake google login page and you’re set, or maybe a fake .apk download “to confirm the captcha”, but other than that, I don’t really see a vector of attack.

Interesting, it might’ve changed, I’ve had my domain for 5+ years by now, but if you set up all the signing keys, DKIM, SPF, and whatever properly, I never had a single issue as far as I know.

But I never tried sending my own emails - I’ve been using Protonmail’s custom domain option, which I’m sure helps. Running your own mailserver without a trusted provider might be a lot more problematic, I never even considered it. The idea wasn’t to run my own mailserver, but to be able to move my custom domain to a different provider that supports custom domains, so I don’t have to change my email anywhere.

I just made sure that my domain is passing all the email domain checker tests, and as long as I don’t get on a blacklist, I should be fine.

Oh, cool. That means there could be at least a library/archive of videos I haven’t seen yet.

I have no reason to doubt that, it’s a stereotype I haven’t heard, but tbh I’m actively avoiding people who would have that view.

It’s mostly based on memes, where as far as I know, Asians are usually considered the smart archetype, but I understand that’s not really a reliable source of widespread view about a race.

I don’t really watch youtubers, but when I was going through rough times, Hololive’s Gura was my favorite streamer, I wonder how she’s doing now.

Edit: Oh.

I’d highly recommend getting your own domain.

Make sure it’s something that’s cheap to renew, cloudfare registrar prices should be at wholesale price.

Setting it up correctly can be a pain, but once your privacy friendly provider starts getting inevitably enshitiffied, you can move your email way more easily.

I think so, at last. Never had to move from Proton yet.

Snake-oil vendors are already pivoting to the next moral panic: “Your software is secure, but what if the evil AI agents steal your stuff? Install pink-rubber-band-AI-endpoint-SOC-SIEM today!” Just moving the goalpost to whatever is scary this quarter.

Sounds true, what else do you have?

What we are building

The system we are building at Mendral lives inside the CI. It connects threat information, production event logs, source code, historical CI logs, and any custom signals you want to add, alongside secure sandbox environments and a set of dedicated tools (see Andrea’s post on agent harness for how that is wired). The agent operates on triggers, at different stages of the lifecycle.

Concretely, here is what happens when a Dependabot-style PR lands. The agent…

Oh ffs it’s an ad for some agentic bullshit.

I wonder why they reject Asians, I thought asians were archetypaly considered as better/smarter/more disciplined workers, when generalized stereotypes are considered?

But maybe that’s just archetype for school? To be honest I’m not really up to speed on what the current meta in racism is.

PGP exists. If your threat model requires pretty good privacy, the absolute minimum you should do is manually add a second level of encryption with PGP with manually exchanged keys somewhere off-grid.

I have an atomic distro, and it lets me install apps without having to reboot or spin up distrobox.

Yeah, that was my point. There’s a whole part about them “taking privacy concerns seriously, but… [A lot of reasons why it’s actually good]”.

It doesn’t adress the issues I’ve highlited, and downplays them, and the general vibe of the article is " look, it helps solve crime, this is actually good"

This is a valid point. If devs are releasing the game on GoG, they should keep people who don’t play with achivements in mind. That’s a game design failure I understand.

Achivements should be just a social layer, something you share about your progress, that was the point. If they are important for progression/gameplay, and you’re releasing on GoG, you should include it in game.
