Not a book, but the Kurzgesagt series on cancer are a great start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFhYJRqz_xk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoJwt9l-XhQ Also while not about cancer specifically, the

I don't think this is a good test. If I prefix it with "a riddle" then GPT 4 got it right for me "Yellow" I think the "temperature" (randomness) of a LLM makes it so you'd need to run a lot of these t

And the best part is that it allows you to write logic in C(++) if you want. I tried Tasmota first but struggled with trying to get the rules to handle my slightly complex logic. Which was that when a water level sensor triggered, run a pum

Yes! This is one of the reasons I like them so much and support them. They have been focused on the end goal, even if it meant having to kill the original idea that drove the initial fame and success. The automated, solar powered platform [

oh it's definitely much more than a "baseline check", it seems to be mostly the same silly rules as the real app store for example, the developer of Clip (Riley Testut) had to add a pointless "map" function which us

Riley posted the following on Mastodon about this: Getting some Qs about Delta availability, hope this clarifies things! • Delta is exclusive to AltStore in EU • Because of Apple’s new dev terms, all downloads in EU cost us €0.50/yr i

No need to question the previous comments experiences. Is there really anything which is "certain" when it comes to memories? I'm not a memory expert, but as I recently read a book on the subject I think I have better than av

On a related topic, I wish someone would implement "user-encrypted-at-rest" to protect me from the provider getting breached. I don't care so much for the transit, but I'm a bit worried about the fact that I have many ye

I'm quite sure you still need a phone number to sign up? Afrer that you can hide it but not get rid of it. Still the fact that you can use it without disclosing your phone number to anyone except signal is indeed useful and a improveme

Agree, and the fact that apple can still enforce an obviously inefficient and stupid workaround is even nuttier. > The first version I tried used the user’s location to remain active, but was rejected by Apple. Testut then updated Clip w

Yep, I would wager that you have probably opted out from as much profiling as possible. Which means you are served the stuff which targets "everyone", i.e. the people for which they have no profile or can't use it for targeti

Agree, but instead we get defaults which will expose and announce services to the world without any auth or warning, all in the name of convenience. And tailscale is far from alone with this as you say, it applies to everything from databas

Something along the same line is StopTheMadness (get the new Pro version). Also on some pages disabling JavaScript makes the experience better (although nowadays most pages just break), but if you don't have a way to easily disable it

A small anecdote, I learned/realised this when visiting CERN (many years ago) and seeing someone in the control room playing a computer game on a laptop next to his big displays. So I asked and they said something along the lines that

I dug out the original ruling and skimmed the last part of it. I have probably misunderstood a bunch, it's very long. But my tl.dr. as I understand it is that IAB provides a Transparency Consent Framework[2] to its users, which include

Yeah I'm doing the same, a combination of OVH, Scaleway and Hetzner. Sure there is no such thing as "free unlimited" bandwidth but I much prefer unlimited with a fixed cost until they decide it's not worth it and shut me

Yes! After scrolling past everyone else who explains how smart their dog is it's great to find someone who has the same kind of dog as we do. Finnish lapphund here. And yea, I agree that it's hard to know if the dog is just dumb,

Yeah, although I have not had issues in a while, this is exactly what I don't want my home-automation system to do. My "solution" is just to update it infrequently, but that does not feel like a very sustainable solution eith

It's mostly wasted time but I feel it's slightly more beneficial than playing video games (which I also do) so I do it for fun sometimes. [1] [2] [1] https://infosec.exchange/@gnyman/109318464878274206 [2] h

> In every case it turned out to be a known vulnerability that we had been too slow to patch. Yes. This is why relying on "patching" is a bound to fail at some point. Maybe it's a 0-day, or maybe the attackers are just qui

Thats interesting to learn. I think he is on to something. The one thing that computers are really good at is storing data (especially text) so I believe it should be a core function of any computer that it should never loose anything a use

I'll pop in with a related question. (Maybe something to add to atuin?). Is anyone doing this for the output? I've had iTerm session logging enabled on my personal machine for a while and have found it very useful every now and th

I'm not surprised... I mean just the the specification for PDF 1.7 is what ~1300 pages ? And then there is 2.0, and all the extensions [1] And multiply that with the number of implementations. If the goal is to make something that &quo

Great list! It looks exhaustive, you've managed to include all I have tried and a few more. Myself I have ended up with mostly using Soulver and TextMate. TM is not really the same thing but it has nice built in text manipulation for m

It's not exactly the same but you can "hide" a ssh server on port 443 with haproxy It's not really hidden as if you initiate a connection with ssh it will reveal itself, but if you try https it will reply as a webserver

Yes. Although I would disagree with the statement "it would be a huge security risk for anything on those machines" Older TLS protocols have vulnerabilities yes, but most of them require a very motivated attacker with the ability

yep, this is such a great and detailed writeup. I have never decapped or even freed a chip from that black epoxy blob but after reading this I feel I could do it if I needed. I have saved this for the future. I have a old clock radio in a b
