Yes, though the attackers would have to pay for an account. In this case, it’s using a pre-installed, pre-authorized tool, using your own credits to hack you

For everyone against .config on mac: who cares? I, for one, don’t want to deal with or remember different patterns across different OSes as much as possible. So I’ll install gnu coreutils on Mac, and I’ll use .config. For CLI apps, they bro

ATProto is decentralized in that it allows you to choose a 3rd party like Blacksky to do all kinds of things for you. You can use the social media feed this 3rd party curates, use their moderation services like block lists, and even have yo

This is basically proof that you’re wrong: a separate entity hosts separate moderation, and anyone using a client of AT Proto (even the official app) can use this 3rd party as the moderation service for the content that they see. That’s dec

What the fuck are you talking about. A current high end laptop CPU is the AMD 9955HX3D, with Geekbench 6 of 3161/19080 geekbench. M4 Pro is 3812/20076. Why do I worship apple silicon? Because it’s literally the best performing pro

Well, yeah, and my mom was using my old 2012 MBP until it was a decade too. Main reason to upgrade to an M1 Air was the battery and the performance improvement that comes with a decade of processor and efficiency improvements. And I bet tha

They continue to have large teams working on core stuff. It’s just that they’re working at such a low level (like high perf virtualized networking on their custom network cards) that most people don’t hear about it or care that much.

I agree with you, but the question is more whether existing LLMs have enough training with AST queries to be more effective with that approach. It’s not like LLMs were designed to be precise in the first place

Exactly. LLMs are trained on huge amounts of bash scripts. They “know” how to use grep/awk/whatever. ASTs are, I assume, not really part of that training data. How would they know how to work well with on? LLMs are trained on what

Sure, but the approach mentioned here benchmarks with median performance of 16ms. 100ms isn’t great especially if it’s only one part of everything that needs to happen

Publishing someone’s leaked credentials in plaintext for anyone to look at also isn’t ideal. I mean, yes, it’s been leaked, but we also don’t need to make it easier for someone to get hacked.

AT Proto isn’t really supposed to be about individuals self hosting the whole thing. The system is supposed to be global, distributed, and shared, not isolated to one person self-hosting the whole stack. One person should be able to host a

True. The most likely reason it won’t happen is just because solar power is on a massive hockey stick growth pattern. Global solar power capacity grew 2.5x from 2020 to 2024. From 2023-2024, we added the equivalent of the total global solar

Yeah it’s just a matter of time. Marketing executives already realize they aren’t able to control the message as well. If you get product recommendations through AI, you don’t see the company’s website and marketing copy, and don’t go throu

True. At a minimum, as long as LLMs don't include some kind of more strict representation of the world, they will fail in a lot of tasks. Hallucinations -- responding with a prediction that doesn't make any sense in the context of

Hm, it’s still a tricky question. Do web admins have a right to block agentic AI? Of course they do. They have a right to block whoever they want. Distinguishing between scraper and agent is important, yes, but agents can still produce a lo

Yep. This kind of exclusivity agreement should probably be illegal across the board; they basically exist to make competition legally impossible. Great for business, sucks for people.

Might be better, but it’s 4x the cost. Firewalla Gold SE at $509, vs UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra at $129. In my experience, the software does work fine. Works way better out of the box than most routers I’ve used.

Here’s a fact: if a right only applies to US Citizens, and not to anyone else, then it’s not an inalienable right. Which means it’s essentially not a human right. This is foundational to why America’s exists in the first place, just t
