Intention is very relevant to legal interpretations of "unauthorized access"; both the intentions of the owner, and the intentions of the "intruder". See for example United States v. Auernheimer. There's relatively

What does k3k stand for? Can we just put whatever number we want between 2 letters now?

I don't remember there being much of a difference between the 83 and 84. Did you care about the amount of memory or the clock speed of the processor? Or was it more of a status thing.

govt, banks, whatever. I don't care who administers the system as much as I care about the fact that they're highly regulated, and you have the control needed to expose as little information as necessary to confirm things about yo

If they're gonna vibe-code all these arbitrary rules, they should at least release the source code so we can figure out how to work around them!

There are lots of ways to implement identity verification while preserving privacy. It's actually a super interesting engineering problem. Estonia has an excellent model to build on. The government can maintain a "traditional&quot

This is why I really wanted Capyloon to take off [1]. The idea was to build a whole mobile OS around PWAs. App Stores are just CDNs. There are no weird rules about payment processors. The ecosystem did not need to start from scratch. Unfort

My quick take: this is basically just Markdown with LaTeX-style macros, except they're called functions, presumably because at least 1 of them has side effects (the one that defines new functions). I appreciate the syntactic purity of

Sure, but if you factor in the possibility of never having to do a full system upgrade again, and instead just upgrading individual parts (including the chassis) as needed, the long term cost of ownership would be way lower if you commit to

In the West, most will happily slaughter a cow but never a dog (and by slaughter, I mean allow someone else to slaughter it for you, but never be OK with doing it yourself). In many Indian states, cow slaughter is a crime. Many places in Ch

Xi is an obviously more capable and effective leader than Trump, but the US actually does have ways to boot people out of office when they do a bad job, and clear methods to choose successors, and China has neither. That matters more than w

It's analogous to open-source software, which never had an obvious economic incentive either, although training an LLM necessary costs money whereas developing an OSS project might only cost time, which people are probably more likely

They are the victims of Goodhart's law. The contract unambiguously said it would be decided by the reading of that particular thermometer.

Yep, you can bet on anything. Mike Selig is in charge of regulating it, and he's pretty zealous about suing any state regulators trying to exercise their right to regulate gambling. I think the days of the wild west are clearly numbere

If polymarket were staking wagers on its own platform, then it would have to worry about the integrity of the contracts, which is a nonstarter

Funny anecdote, but that's a bit of a different issue. Actual money moving around is a relatively strong signal. Those investors just aren't looking at the full picture.

Nix offers a trade-off: near-perfect reproducibility in exchange for longer builds. Sometimes it's nice to just build a new .so for some library and let the rest of your binaries link to it without recompiling everything. I'm not

It can be inefficient because controllers (typically ~40 per cluster) can maintain big caches of resource metadata, and kubelet and kube-proxy usually operate pretty tight while-loops. But such things can be tuned and I don't really co

VCs mostly invest other peoples' money, not their own. The "rich people" are often pension funds, endowments, and other pools of capital rather than individual morons. VCs themselves probably suffer from chronic overestimatio

I find it somewhat easier to read here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/8250... I appreciate the brevity of the bill, but it delegates a lot of discretion to the FTC to regulate things
