Either someone is stupid enough to make this argument which I don't think is the case (The NT teams are crazy good), or they just want to use this opportunity to divert the blame, which is pathetic at best. UAC, virtualization, hybrid

Krebs can sometimes be ... less than delightful, shall we say. But by god I do trust his due diligence and absolutely love when he brings the receipts to a metaphorical cat fight.

If that's the case, then the Hotels have the court case against the developers spelled for them, because this is highly illegal.

My opinion is quite simpler: GPT got the 1st mover's advantage from a marketing perspective, and until Google, Anthropic or another proposes something VASTLY revolutionary for the layperson, then it's unlikely they'll "c

That behavior is completely stupid. I agree with Daniel on this, because if I choose to give my own CAs, there are two reasons: Either I don't have my CA in the OS bundle, or I want to validate specifically against a certain CA. That m

This clause would absolutely not fly in a French court, and IANAL but IIRC US case law does allow for reverse engineering for interoperability.

In software business maybe that makes sense. In the business these companies are dealing, 100M is chump change that wouldn't even cover the airplane fleet and its maintenance over 5 years.

Well they could, but retrofit your Honda Jazz all you want, you will be getting pulled over if you're watching a movie on the tablet you're hanging from the windshield.

We have rovers on Mars and satellites and probably nuclear warheads using RTOS of all kinds and in cases even Linux, but sure seL4 is the only OS conceivable for those cases, obviously ! This is a case of fraud, industrial malfeasance and j

While I haven't met the guys in this case, I am familiar with their work. Additionally, I am fairly certain they are not stupid enough to not have kept detailed, forensic-quality records of their actions and whatever they dumped. Sure

Well, the same way a man with drive, discipline and money but very little in the way of technical expertise can build a company. Sometimes you need someone who can drive a project and recruit the right people for the project. That person do

Haven't worked at Microsoft, but usually, when folks up high have their balls at stake, resources and budgets magically start getting approved faster than the Concorde.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but for me it is us framed as if they won't be working on GPT-based products, but on research. The whole thing reads like this to me: "In hindsight, we should've done more due diligenc

This a Linux thing. Essentially, in an operating system you need a way to "draw" things on the screen. And a way to properly "move" the boxes "draw". Previously, the usual* way to do that was using XServer (XOr

It's like using 'to google' instead of 'to search'. I was attempting to reference the DMCA-class of regulations about copyright protections

While I admire the valor in trying to get it undone under the privacy umbrella, Youtube can easily state that it is not a matter of privacy but a matter of DMCA (anti-circumvention mechanism) and at that point it a whole can of worm. I genu

Youtube, I don't want Youtube Music or Youtube Shitnuggets. Give me a plan where I pay 5€ a month just to watch youtube with no fucking ads. Is that not enough ?

I can't really blame them. The essence of it is "if you see hooves think horses not zebras". The human body is usualy one resilient bastard, so the ol' "tylenol and come back if it gets worse" is a good tactic

You are right, I was thinking of stapling but wrote HSTS. Thanks

by aneutron 3y ago
While if possible, it's the best course of action, the truth is these days additions like HSTS make it extremely difficult to MITM. Additionally, MITM and trying things out on a toaster are one thing, doing the same on a 40k$ machine t

If this is true, this has to be one of the most epic greed and ignorance fueled fails I have heard of in this industry. The surprising bit is not one of the execs thought about consulting with the tecchies probably ...

Not sure the linked project is the up to date one. I regularly use the 'cryptography' package that has a 'Fernet' object in 'cryptography.fernet'. And it is in cryptography so I trust they maintain it at least

I completely agree with your assessment and I was in the same boat where I wanted to live there despite all of that. And while I do believe that having a more open immigration policy may be beneficial (it's practically the cheat code f

So this URL just jumped to me opened by the extension. I instantly uninstalled it, and reported it to Mozilla. I hate that I have to, but I have to.

Thank you so much for that link. I have been wondering for a long time why OpenGL was relegated to the graveyard, and that post has painted the picture for me.

Oh man, my memory must be bad. I remember the conhost.exe and the whole PTY stuff being closed source for some reason. Either way it will make for a very nice rabbit hole for one of those week-ends :D Thank you and every one of your team me

There's an excellent blog post by the product manager I believe that explains the history of the CMD command, how terminal emulation works in Windows, and the work they were doing. The way I understand this project is essentially &quot

I was about to comment the exact same thing. This book's bottom upwards approach is something that gave amazing insight on how well designed the Internet and computer networks are. I will forever be grateful to these guys for making fr
