There are certain threat/risk models where having multiple profiles might be helpful (non-forensic examination by an offical at a securtiy screening kinda scenario). But you're right, it's nuanced, requires know-how by the us

When cryptocurrency first started getting attention (2010,2011-ish?) I was so excited that a potential micropayments system would come out of it and solve this problem. Sadly it did not go that way..

The thing that sucks about it is maybe his english is bad (not his native language) so he relies on LLM output for his posts. Im inclined to cut people slack for this. But the rub is that it is indistinguishable from spam/slop generate

The main flaw is the enforced duopoly of iOS/Android for everyones favorite personal surveillance assistant. The secondary flaw is centralized control over transport layer access (internet really isn't decentralized anymore). And

Amazing work! Is the primary goal here to allow more production use of python in an embedded context, rather than just prototyping?

Forgive my ignorance on this but does his assertion that a CSPRNG is all you need after an initial truly random seed, hold up against theoretical quantum attacks? If not, then I could see the need for very large/fast sources of entrop

Thank you for this, and for the project! One feature request: as I have never dug into the internals I don't know if this is feasible, but long ago Firefox had a very simple extension that exposed a button that could disable javascript

This is a great way to frame it with the caveat that you've done a fair bit of homework to support your assertion. And the other thing I would add is context-aware time padding. The "deadline" should be adjusted to respect t

The first part of this, where you told it to ask YOU questions, rather than laboriously building prompts and context yourself was the magic ticket for me. And I doubt I would have stumbled on that sorta inverse logic on my own. Really gre

So, in the context of the US, yes, those trends are reversing, so it is apropos to examine it (see article content). I am fully aware of the tendency of grumpy old people decrying the amoral youth, my point is that the degree of nihilsim s

Make that population of 3. I'm not a fan either. But I'm also realistic. I treat the phone as what it is: malicious spyware. But I realize that most people want the convenience and the safety (of sorts) of dialing 911 and gettin

Thats not exactly true. The FCC911 and other government laws require the telcos to have access to location data and record calls/texts for warrants. The problem is both regulatory as well as commercial. It is unrealistic to expect the

The challenge with out-of-band RF networks in certain situations is that they can be triangualted by a hostile power. In places like Ukraine, that can trigger indiscrimante artillery or rocket fire onto civilians, for example. In China tha

You are touching on my thoughts exactly. It seems everyone would come out better if the insurance company just paid for them to rebuild. I suspect that'd come out cheaper and it would maybe deter the attacks by making them worth less..

Why did they agree to pay the ransom? Such a small org it seems like they could rebuild the systems they needed for less than $1mil?..

That's the exact opposite model of what I built [1], because I view the phone as just as unreliable as desktop or laptop. Actually even less reliable, given my choice of workstation OS. I went with a USB and BLE chip on the external si
