I don't see the big issues with jailbreaks, except maybe for LLMs providers to cover their asses, but the paper authors are presumably independent. That LLMs don't give harmful information unsolicited, sure, but if you are jailbre

I think what killed Perl is that no one wants to invest into it. And not because of Perl 6. It is a great language for quick and dirty scripts, one liners... But no one wants to start a big project in Perl, and I think for good reasons. Wit

You are just becoming old. Less time, more money, changing hobbies, etc... It is almost always better from a practical perspective to buy the complete product over DIY, or even better, not buy at all. Those who claim otherwise are justifyin

Another one that worries me is Let's Encrypt. It is not as bad as Cloudflare or AWS because certificates will not expire the instant there is an outage, but considers that: - It serves about 2/3 of all websites - TLS is becoming m

Great C interop, first class support for cross-compilation, well suited for arena allocators. You can use Rust in kernel/embedded code, you can also use C++ (I did) and even Java! but most prefer to use C, and I think that Zig is a bet

Rust is not designed for low level system programming / embedded systems like Zig is. It is designed to make a browser and software that share requirements with making a browser. There is some overlap but that's still different. T

That's also my opinion but I am ready to give them some excuse, because they have it harder than when it was just desktop computing. Now we expect a desktop and a mobile app, also native and browser based. They all have different req

From a UI perspective, Teams is terrible, but there is one thing it does well and that's large meeting calls. Microsoft knows their customers: large companies. The boss doesn't see that you can't properly paste a piece of cod

I am not against AI in Firefox. The thing is "what AI". For example, translation can be considered AI, and I find it very useful, it is local too. Other AI features that could be nice would be speech-to-text, text-to-speech, advan

X11 desktop environments are dying, but it doesn't mean that X11 is dead. XWayland is still a thing so you can still run your X11 apps on Gnome. The big reason why I want to keep X11 besides backwards compatibility is the ability to ru

I think the EU dropped the ball on reusability. But Ariane 5 was an excellent expendable heavy-lift launcher and Ariane 6 follows on the same track. Not great for mass commercial launches, but good enough for sovereignty and science mission

One other exception is ASML. They make the best photolithography machines, for me, it is simply the most advanced piece of tech humanity has created, look it up, everything about EUV lithography is insane. In a sense all modern tech goes ba

The point here is that app developers have to identify themselves. Google has no intention to verify the content of sideloaded apps, just that it is signed by a real person, for accountability. They don't know if the person who signed

Experience with video is excellent for most people. All the complexity is hidden from the end user, unless you are trying to hack something. In the 1990s, streaming effectively didn't exist because people didn't have enough bandwi

It doesn't explain why they need the money "we need the money to continue doing what we are doing" means nothing unless they also explain what they are doing and why it matters. Thankfully, that's also on the front page:

A way to solve this would be to switch to a hyperbolic space. We should have evolved from Euclidean geometry long ago. R'lyeh has no problem with wireless networking, you never drop a call.
