As a lifelong native, I highly recommend one of the architecture boat tours. Never gets old, and the guides usually manage to pack in a fair bit of history. I know it changed my personal connection to the city. I’m also convinced that if so

This answers a question I didn't realize I had. I had already been thinking about some kind of utility gadget made up of a Pi Zero with a tiny screen and battery, but an Android phone solves a lot of problems in one go.

I didn't interpret the mention of move 37 in the way I think you are here. The author brought it up specifically to highlight that they don't believe move 37 signifies what many people think it does, and that while impressive, it&

This is why I mentioned (and variants). While I’m unhappy with the Mozilla situation, Firefox is still a significantly better option than Chrome at this point, and the various forks address any concerns with their privacy policy. One can ev

After 10+ years as a primary browser, I've been 100% off of Chrome for about 1.5 years now as part of a broader effort to de-Google my life, and things have been going well. It's interesting to notice how much my internal feelings

This summarizes my feelings pretty well. I've been writing code in a dozen languages for 25+ years at this point. Not only do I not gain anything from writing certain boilerplate for the nth time, I'm also less likely to actually

I've been thinking about writing up a blog post about it. Might have to do a Show HN when time allows. This guide was a huge help: https://github.com/thagrol/Guides/blob/main/mass-storage-gad...

I recently discovered that some of the Raspberry Pi models support the Linux Kernel's "Gadget Mode". This allows you to configure the Pi to appear as some type of device when plugged into a USB port, i.e. a Mass Storage/

I think the acknowledgement of danger by various companies is definitely a marketing tactic to a degree, and it's important to see the actions of those companies for what they are. But then there's whatever danger actually exists

I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at re: hype. While there is undoubtedly a lot of hype around these tools right now, that hype is based on a pretty major leap in technology that has fundamentally altered the landscape goi

Adding to this, government use cases would be most likely to cause issues because they’re often relevant regardless of how badly they suck. There are already active discussions about AI being used in government for “efficiency” reasons.

This is a frustrating piece on many levels, but mostly because it doesn't really scratch the surface of what is worrisome about AI. It sets up straw men and knocks them down, but not much else. It seems to boil down to: 1. LLMs aren&#x

I don’t think most people would willingly allow someone to implant an electrode into their brains that could influence what they think with the world’s largest corporations pushing the button on the other end. It sounds too invasive. To vio

nc and sh are well known and documented tools. Their existence on a system and running state can be inspected and the implications of various configurations is well understood. If someone just discovered nc in the wild and up to that point

Are you saying that none of the undocumented commands are capable of putting the device into a remotely exploitable state? The fact that it might be necessary to execute these commands locally is separate from the effects of executing those

In what way is what you quoted not describing an RCE? Clearly there are unanswered questions like does this malicious firmware exist? and how likely is it that ESP32s in the wild were shipped with it? But they’re still describing an RCE.

by haswell 2y ago
What I took away from this was that malicious actors using ESP32 chips in their products could potentially leverage these commands to deliver essentially a Trojan horse. “Buy this super cheap home automation product” turns into installing a

This story summarizes one of my biggest concerns/frustrations with the rise of these LLM tools. The confident incorrectness they breed is a problem. The impact in online social spaces is already increasingly obvious.

When did you do this 1Password evaluation? Sounds like our experience with it could not be more different. > The UI for 1P was a real mess. In what way? You described how you feel about the UI, but I’m curious about actual specifics.
325.
by haswell 2y ago
Not OP, but UX also matters a lot. I’d strongly prefer an open source and selfhostable option, but each time I’ve evaluated Bitwarden in the past, it was a big enough downgrade from 1Password that I didn’t think switching was a good option.

Possibly! But I’ve recently wanted to dabble with computer vision, so I’d be looking at a project like this as a way to scratch a specific itch. Again, not OP so I don’t know what their priorities are, but just offering one angle for why on

Not OP, but it sounds like the kind of project I’d undertake. Happiness for me is about exploring the problem within constraints and the satisfaction of building the solution. Brittleness is often of less concern than the fun factor. And so
