As someone with a lot of experience in working on a Chrome extension that interacts with Gmail specifically, there are two reasons I'd expect an extension like OP's to integrate with the official Gmail API instead of poking the Gm

In practice the lines of each issue are placed very close together. Other than Rust, there are no popular memory safe languages that use manual memory management.

This isn't an uncollectable reference cycle. It's true that with this code in most/all JS engines, if there's a reference to the function `longLived` then `largeObject` will be kept in memory, but reference cycles are co

/tmp isn't stored in memory; it's usually a normal on-disk filesystem that's cleared regularly. You want /dev/shm instead, which is a purely in-memory filesystem on normal Linux systems.

Electrons aren't unique in not having identities. Photons of the same wavelength are similarly fungible if I remember right, though it's a little more defensible to call the reflected light not the same photons since the original

It's also still officially supported and popular through the Halo Master Chief Collection which is available on Steam.

All the lines related to GPTBot are commented out. That robots.txt isn't trying to block it. Either it has been changed recently or most of this comment thread is mistaken.

Web pages can't do anything that affects the rest of your system without going through a permission dialog, and the permissions are always very granular. A page can't trigger a yes/no permission dialog to get access to all of

The browser is a great for distribution (apps are just URLs) and security (web pages need to ask permission before accessing anything on your computer outside of their domain). More people should question the common belief that desktop OSes

A process can do little to defend itself from a library it's using which has full access to its same memory. There is no security boundary there. This kind of backdoor doesn't hinge on IFUNC's existence.

Passkeys are an open standard with multiple implementations. It represents the opposite of the trend you're worried about there.
162.
by AgentME 3y ago
I don't understand this criticism. What is being controlled? Passkeys are an open standard that a browser can implement with public key crypto.
163.
by AgentME 3y ago
Passkeys are being introduced right now in browsers and popular sites like a MFA option, but I think the intention is that they will grow and become the main factor in the future.

The Assistants API doesn't let you recreate the conversation (with edits or not) because you can't (re)create messages with role=assistant.

by AgentME 3y ago
This was one of the limitations of the Assistants API that made me entirely ignore it up until now. I am curious if the Assistants API lets you edit/remove/retry messages yet. I don't see anything implying this has changed. I

Some people do timelock encryption by using weak cryptography that's expected to be broken in a planned amount of time, but this project isn't doing that. It uses modern cryptography to encrypt some data to a set of public keys so

As far as I can tell, the "npx jsr add @luca/flag" command given for using JSR with Node itself calls "npm i @luca/flag@npm:@jsr/luca__flag" and is equivalent. You get a normal node_modules+package.json+pa

Restic supports a similar feature set to Borg (open source, locally encrypted backups, content-addressed snapshots instead separate incremental+full backups, etc) but also works with dumb file hosts (S3, Backblaze B2, a local drive, etc).

The real magic of recursive self improvement happens only after you have human-level AI that is able to match and surpass human ability in designing AI architectures. Escape-velocity-breaking recursive self improvement doesn't look lik

If you or someone else has an archive of your data, then you can seamlessly port your account somewhere else. With Mastodon, I'm not sure there's an established flow for downloading your full account data, and you have to have you

The comparison operators are specifically defined in the C standard to output 1 if true and 0 if false.

Restic also works like this, and has the following benefits over Borg: multiple hosts can back up to the same repo, and it supports "dumb" remote file hosts that aren't running Borg like S3 or plain SFTP servers.

One really interesting innovation that Bluesky supports right now is custom timelines. You can paste a URL into the app of any webserver hosting a custom timeline and have it available as a tab. This lets people make and share custom timeli

That would be as good as full-disk encryption, but it is possible and useful to do better than that with a TPM. With physical access to a running machine, it is possible to physically extract data from RAM. Law enforcement agencies even hav

This situation is presumably like the double-slit experiment: any surviving record at all anywhere of the specific path taken breaks the superposition that exists between the configurations where different paths were taken. Superposition on
