The primary value in nix is in the packages, not the configuration language and not the prebuilt cache system. If one were to fork the project, the sensible way to do that would be to build a nixpkg-compatible alternative system that doesn&

As I said twice, LineageOS allows the exact signature of MicroG to replace the exact signature of GMS (core google play services component). An app signed as MicroG can't spoof anything other than GMS. Nothing with any other signature

I think it's a sock puppet, because the stylometry on the page is a perfect match for the "GrapheneOS" account on discuss.grapheneos.org .

I hadn't read that and it's informative. Let's paraphrase and dissect its arguments. > 1. F-Droid releases are signed with F-Droid keys, and Google Play releases are signed with Google Play and app developer keys both I do

I wish I could use Graphene without needing to buy into their anti-OSS stance and ideology, though. The core idea is sound, but I frequently see: - MicroG is "insecure" because it requires "signature spoofing" (reality:

When I read the HN article title, I knew which domain it'd be from before I saw it. I have several AirGradient devices and they've been great, no hassle at all with my own software instead of cloud-connected anything. I just wish

I'm not really sure what this is doing on Hacker News, but the game (Shattered Pixel Dungeon) is fun. One of the nicest features is that whenever you observe an effect that unambiguously tells you what a potion/scroll does - such

I don't think it's necessarily about talent, it's about effort. As an example, in early versions of Stardew Valley, if you named your horse with the same name as one of the townspeople, you would be riding around your farm on

How would it require a reboot to re-enable? The root user can write directly to kernel memory by a number of means, patching the kernel live to re-enable kexec. Closing those holes requires using a pretty extensive MAC policy restricting ro

Another interpretation is that it's trying to backspace everything it's ever sent.

If you averaged together ten such samples, you'd get something that approaches the true values from the device. The more samples you have, the closer it would get. Fixing this would require removing the information leak entirely, not j

I understand that more is better in some sense, but why the emphasis on having two (2) 10GbE instead of one for a single device that isn't a router? What's the second link for? Just more bandwidth, or is there some crucial use cas

I think you're saying that correcting a bias isn't itself applying bias. I think the poster to which you're responding is saying there wasn't any visible evidence of bias in the original behaviour. From one point of view

Induction is "if this is possible for value X, then it is also possible for value X+1". Where X isn't used as part of the step this is always true. Nothing I did depends on the size of either the input nor the truth table, so

It's not a bad paper honestly, I just don't like it when people take a line from it and assume something untrue. The pigeonhole principle proves that if you only have N slots to work with, and you need to fit N+1 items into them,

It's a tautology that for a given truth table mapping inputs to "correct" outputs there exists a function that produces that mapping. Saying that you can't train an LLM to NOT hallucinate is saying that it's impossi

I don't think that's the case, exactly. You can choose current-generation hardware from a company that chooses to implement less advanced wireless specifications. For example, the gl-inet Flint 2 (MT-6000) runs a fork of OpenWRT o
