At least part of it is that we do attribute malice or lack of care (or madness) to people who repeatedly do it, and treat their output differently in the future. For some reason, some people repeatedly defend machines that constantly do t

Everyone has failed to build this. They can only sell claims that they have built it to fools.

Unless there's evidence that all of it was fact-checked, it's a waste of time to look harder. You can get any output you like, it doesn't mean it's correct.

Bug reports also go down when people lose faith that they will be fixed, because reporting them is often a substantial time commitment. You see it happen pretty regularly as trust in a group/company collapses.

Every doctor's visit I've had, I have been able to make corrections to the record afterward, because there have been meaningful mistakes almost half the time. ALWAYS check your summaries immediately, and contact your doctor ASAP.

Yep. It happened to me just recently. Diagnosed with Runner's Knee. AI summary said I was diagnosed with osteoporosis, and had hip pain and walking difficulty, though literally none of that was ever said or implied. CHECK YOUR TRANSCRI

Not generally / as many would hope, but that's partly because both WASM and WASI are not targeting being a full javascript-in-browser replacement - they're lower level, larger APIs are built on top, not defined by them. It&#x

fwiw blocking access to anything except my notes folder (and denying internet, among other things) is my very first step when installing Obsidian. Flatseal makes that quite simple. Flatpak could of course be significantly better... but it&#

Gotta hope that's just a PR attempt to try to save face. Though I wish companies would stop claiming it.

I'm somewhat fond of including a UUID for that reason. As long as they can copy-paste it into Google, they can get results that are precisely the errors from your application, unlike "error 55324". The same works internall

Confirmed: https://obsidian.md/help/plugin-security#Plugin+capabilities There is no sandboxing at all. Every plugin has full access to your computer.

A majority have more access controls than obsidian plugins, yes. I think that's fairly safe to say, given that new system installs often have hundreds of processes already running. Sandboxing, at least in the sense of easily configura

Agreed, but also they prominently feature that they support plugins. Currently it's the second paragraph on the home page: https://obsidian.md/ They're trying to get all the benefits while pushing the extremely-

To try to add some explanation here: the server doesn't send the fingerprint. The server sends the public key , your computer just shows a fingerprint because it's more human-friendly and sufficiently secure. If they forward the

Because it's by far the dominant strategy for distributed trust-ranking systems out there, with decades of research around it. Might as well look at the forest when realizing that it'd be nice if trees existed. And I don't th

Sideloading bypasses nothing at all except Google's thumbs-up, Android's permission system doesn't work that way.

Not even slightly. Browser extensions are a trivial counter-example, as are all flatpacks, and anything restricted by user/group. That covers probably literally a majority of all software on your computer, because people have been volu

Perhaps something where you can build a graph of who invited whom so you could prune entire sections that act maliciously. One might even consider it a to be a web of connections which are built on (or torn down by the loss of) trust. Sound

For at least the vast majority, yes definitely. I'm fine with full bypasses existing (say a webgl thing, or web previews, custom VCS integration, there are tons of legitimate reasons to escape a sandbox), but they should be an abnormal

Yeah, I can walk at a moderate pace literally all day with no problems and be fine the next. Plodding for a couple hours brings pain and a lot of general discomfort, and I'm very patient in general - I would love to take my time with s
