I'm getting to the point where I believe representative democracy on the scale of hundreds of millions of people just doesn't work all that well. I've never been one of those "states' rights" people, but these

You're confusing a technical limitation with a policy decision. Just because the cell tower (as currently designed) needs to know your fairly-precise location at all times, it doesn't mean that location needs to be stored indefin

You're missing the point. Just because it's possible for that tracking to happen, it doesn't mean it has to happen. We could have strong privacy laws. Mobile carriers (and anyone else) could be required to not store th

I agree with you, but at the same time: we shouldn't have to worry about this. We should be able to have nice things. We should be able to live our lives how we want (within reason) and not have to worry about our own government spyi

I think that's wishful thinking. Just because someone is a "serious" researcher (careful, sounds like a No True Scotsman coming up), it doesn't mean that they care about AI guardrails or safety, or think our current adm

This isn't about per-window menu bars, though; it's about context menus. macOS still has those.

Right, you used to be able to do that with Facebook, too (haven't been on there in forever, don't know the current state), but, right, it would reset to the usual slop after a little while. This sort of garbage is just yet another

If that's how you want to redefine the term, sure, ok. But the "victim" in this particular scenario is the one at fault.

The fact that they've hosted it on GitHub means they've agreed to GitHub's terms, which allows them (via OpenAI) to train on the code. Also it's pretty hilarious to vibe-code a library that clones another library that so

I'm just really curious if this phone is going to pass Google's conformance tests and whatnot. I feel like some of that is incompatible with GrapheneOS's security model, so I wonder what's going to happen there.

by kelnos 8mo ago
I think most banking apps already do work on GrapheneOS (not sure about TPM/secured credentials though). Graphene IIRC keeps a compatibility list somewhere. Some don't work, of course, but more do than I would have expected. For

mmap() is useful for some narrow use-cases, I think, but error-handling is a huge pain. I don't want to have to deal with SIGBUS in my application. I agree that the model of mmap() is amazing, though: being able to treat a file as

mmap is also good for passing shared memory around. (You still need to be careful, of course.)

Being a good citizen of the commons means not hard-coding things specific about your product as a standard. ChatGPT or Gemini using a file called "CLAUDE" doesn't make sense. The first mover doesn't just automatically

GP literally tells you the point in the last paragraph. Makes perfect sense to me.

That's not learning, though. That's just taking new information and stacking it on top of the trained model. And that new information consumes space in the context window. So sure, it can "learn" a limited number of t

The red lines are not the same. Anthropic refuses to allow their models to be used for any mass surveillance or fully-automated weapons systems. OpenAI only requires that the DoD follows existing law/regulation when it comes to those u

Yeah, that's the thing. Even in the most optimistic of dreams, Democrats won't end up with supermajorities in both the House and Senate. They can pass whatever bills they want, but Trump doesn't have to sign them. Sure, the
