Hm not necessarily. You "just" need to get code onto the system that is somehow being loaded into the gpg process or has the ability to load code into a gpg process. Of course, still orders of magnitude harder than just modifying

Isn't non-web-based cryptography affected (as per this take) in the same way but with extra steps? A sophisticated actor might as well also control the application that ends up on my device. It does not have to be the same delivery mec

Huh, good point. True. The motion itself indeed gets picked up intuitively by the brain. Okay, I'm convinced that picture rotation should be animated to the exact degree that achieves this.

Do I need to be entertained by my butter knife, mop or screwdriver? I really don't think that "keeping people entertained" is a sensible goal within the context of building software as tools and not software-adjacent Art. Whi

Yes in a vacuum. No on the Internet. Especially not on the sea-lion infested HR-world Internet, in which trolling has evolved to exploit good faith directly. ___ In fact, "being overly hostile" is exactly how you probe to see whet

I don't want my image editor to feel like something in a creative manner though. I want it to rotate an image by 90° when I tap the button that does that. See, this is exactly my point when I say that animations are no end in themselve

That is a valid opinion to hold, however, the question of "what is wrong with X? Y is outdated and over" is a) a different statement from "I prefer X" and b) pretty low effort, trivially to Google (or ask AI) and general

Speaking entirely out of my ass here: FOMO for sure is one of the driving factors. "We cannot risk looking outdated". So weak management, probably. But also talent availability I suppose. If there's a new trend, the pool of p

People often forget that animations serve purely a supportive role and do not exist for the purpose of having animations. They are there to mask loading times and ease from one state into the other. That's why we have them. This knowle

To be fair, that might not just have been the CO2 dropping, but also the pattern interrupt + giving you both an easy and face-saving way out of that situation.

Benn unfortunately is one of those people that actually feel stuff, which is a trait that easily gets exploited by bad actors. Indeed, he shot himself in the foot there pretty bad, but I would argue that that was just the result of successf

Doing that all the time might not be the best idea for your immune system and neither for the respiratory one too. The first needs to occasionally see new threats to stay up to date and healthy. The second will not like the constantly restr

That math (250k context, Q4 model, 24GB VRAM) only checks out at q4 quant for the K/V cache, which is probably not the best idea.

I know what you mean regarding the class of mistakes, but strong disagree on the "worse" part. Or rather I envy you for your experience with humans so far.

That is a good point indeed. I am wondering though if that was really the world we were living in just before chatGPT launched, given that the whole OSS thing was already harvested super hard. The "mentoring opportunities" often w

Yes, the same way 10 years from now-10years, we'd all be looking back at how insane it was for people to drive cars. Man do I enjoy my totally real full self driving.

What confuses me about this stance is that LLMs are basically indistinguishable from any mid-to-low-tier dev. And those we've let into our codebases with no concerns. Hell, some even threw parties inviting in more of them. At least LLM

Uh idk man. Saying "no that's not true" followed by "I actually have no idea how that works" followed by "read the manual." Maybe just don't? You clearly did not understand what I said, because whatev

It's not that he's wrong in that assessment, but that doesn't really change anything about the fundamental problem of the cost of being wrong being a completely collapsed infrastructure. We do not know if the quantum safe stu

There's also FuriOS with the FuriPhone. That's debian based with gnome and seems to be built by capable people. Also, it can run android apps.

I am by no means an expert, so please someone correct me if I'm wrong. But the problem is that the whole core identity mechanism is built on asymmetric crypto, that is safe now but will not be safe in the future. And because it's

It might be that we just have to accept that the internet and us simply grew apart. But right now, we still seem to be lacking the imagination to engineer new spaces beyond it. And the stamina, probably. Convenience bred laziness. It might

I can't really parse this comment, but I also have a feeling that nothing is lost in struggling with that.

Abusive controlling partners rarely are long-term timeframe rational, because being long-term timeframe rational is at odds with being an abusive controlling partner. Things do not need to make sense. They often do not. They just appear jus

Anthropic always came off to me as what can shorthand be described as an abusive controlling partner + the resulting relationship. If you start viewing the conversations around it through that lens, a lot of stuff intuitively clicks into pl

If your expectation is to treat it as a coworker, then you're right. If your expectation is to treat it as a tool, then you're wrong. I guess that's where the disconnect lies.

I feel like you might still be perceiving the AI suggestion as some magic box that just does things. It's not. It's a very fast very eager junior. Why and how do people hand work to juniors? You have a rough idea where you want to
