For me the questions were a big red flag. Fluff questions about crypto, human rights for AI and then "autocorrect" for AI. Obviously people who ask questions at conference talks are a special type of person but these topics scream

they only arrive at the same conclusion if they both have the same goal. one could be about maximising wealth while respecting other human beings, the other could be about maximising wealth without respecting other human beings. Both could

Sounds like a worthwhile undertaking. Do you know someone who is actively working on this problem?

I think rust security posture can be improved and made more resilient against supply chain attacks. Currently, random dependencies can do many bad things to your machine, even when just parsing documentation from your source code with `rust

It's hard to imagine that folks at Firefox came up with this idea organically. To me it feels like this is a Google initiative in order to allow more DRM/Ad-Tracking stuff and they're testing the waters.

You didnt read the website. It says that you wont be able to find the files on your disk, even when searching for the contents. So Firefox will be actively encrypting / obfuscating them. That's not the case for localStorage or coo

That's a stupid pro-russian propaganda talking point. Try harder.

The read-only requirement makes sense because otherwise confidentiality of the airgapped system can be easily compromised (data extraction). If one's role is to only update AV on the airgapped machine then their data transfer to the ai

Yeah and then your contribution gets shot down because the maintainers have a totally different vision about their product than you do. I've contributed some security findings and UX improvements to KDE in the past year and it was quit

I see you have never reported a DOS on H1. High-profile millionaire engineers will go out of their way to argue with you that DOS of their TOP100 website is in fact not a security problem. These people don't even know about CIA triad a

I feel the same. IMO H1 is a face-saving filter layer for megacorp tech employees so the issues don't bubble up to their bosses via media reports. They tarpit you, send junior people into the ticket who don't understand the issue,

Amazing, my whole chromium 122.0.6261.94 on gnome arch linux became unresponsive with this demo. I think this kind of stuff is a good way to find security vulnerabilities :)

Because the algorithm has been shown to recommend nice videos which show that the russians have very good reasons to annex ukraine, or that the chinese economy is going so well, or that this right-wing fringe party has actually very good an

But this could also be self-reinforcing a local maximum while alienating more and more users. And then your data shows much better metrics for the cohort which puts up with the bad experience, because everyone else churns. This might work

You might reconsider your thoughts when you recognize the fact that TikTok's first priority is not to make money but to deliver pro-russian and pro-chinese propaganda messages into your brain.

I fully agree with you. It feels like a local maximum that at the same time repulses a lot of people from further shopping (like us) and then the engineers point at the data and say: "look at these probabilities, nobody else is buying

Sounds like the argument that social media is basically abusing mental illnesses and people with impulsive spending behaviors. Many of the "whales" in online gaming, gambling, shopping, etc. are people who YOLO their future away d

I find this endless quoting of patio11 a bit exhausting, people just repost his ideas like it's some sort of religious artifact and eternal truth. He's a clever guy but I get a bit sceptical when a clever guy spends too much time

Amazing. I own the Gen2 and am very happy with it. Good to see that now you don't need the stupid dock any more in order to run multiple screens, but you can do it via the 2x USB-C and the HDMI with the new model. I can only recommend

Having kids is such a traumatic, life-changing event. I mean this in the most positive way. I can see why so many people see this as the before/after watershed moment of their lives and ambitions. However, it's understandable that

I think a solution to bot accounts could be a referal system. Everyone who signs up needs to be referred by another person. If the new user has negative impact on the platform, all parent users on the referal chain lose some sort of trust.
