What if caching was not transparent, but required explicit management?

> a node's address is its key, like a .onion If it's merely "like" a .onion, what aspects are different? It seems like an extremely bad idea to use the same key material for both signing transactions, and a p2p networ

I for one am excited about HDMI 2.1 support on AMD.

Looks like a great way to replicate the setup of "four guys standing around watching one guy do the work" but the one guy is Claude now.

It usually takes some time for an updated dependency to actually get shipped to users in a release, by which time there's a good chance the attack has been noticed.

I find it kinda funny how everyone has such divergent opinions of who AI benefits.

I don't know about mail clients, but it's in most web browsers already.

My read was that it meant "small", since they already say "dependency-free" in the second half of the sentence. But it's also a strange way to say "small" so I'm still not sure.

Hmmmmmmmm. I've always been a fan of the classic Casio aesthetic, and I want to want it, but this is a strange point in the functionality-vs-price space. A base F-91W costs less than half that, and my phone can already track steps with

If a state actor wants to pwn your phone, they don't need to orchestrate a complex inter-organizational conspiracy to get there.

I can tell you from first-hand experience that it is true already (Well, it's true for the specific exploit/device pairings I've tried, I've not tried to construct an omni-exploit) Completely random public example: http

It renders fine for me, but I've also had the "extreme gaps between lines" thing happen before on Firefox, and in my case it was caused by a bad font fallback - I forget the precise details but I think it had something to do

Security-through-obscurity (i.e. using a custom ROM on a lesser-known device) does have some upsides, since you're less likely to be compatible with off-the-shelf exploits. But this is much less true now that LLMs exist, and anyone who

Translation does not typically produce Claude-style sentence structure and phraseology, unless the translator is also Claude.

Cool project but did you really need to use an LLM for this comment?

The web design and layout is typical of Claude, and Claude is listed as a contributor to the project on GitHub: https://github.com/rhundhausen/whoownsthecode The non-decorative body text seems human enough, though.

Being accused of plagiarism seems orthogonal. Even if I assert IP ownership of my code, someone else can falsely claim it as theirs. They are wrong in both cases and in both cases it'd have to be settled in court.

I was writing an exploit PoC (via Opus 5), and I needed a new feature in a utility library to make it work. Claude added the feature, but yapped the (entirely unrelated) vulnerability details into the library's comments. The library is

Proxying in particular is handy. Often I set up a bunch of automation for a particular service, and then they "upgrade" their security to enforce fingerprint checking, and adding in a proxy is just a config change to my existing t

I like to use https://github.com/LyleMi/ja3proxy which does exactly the same thing and was first written in the pre-vibe era.
