I've gone full-time with Zed for the past month or so and really like it. Love the fast start times. There was a blurry font issue on linux, but that seems to have been fixed for me. Not sure what caused it.

You're assuming the vuln researcher has access to the backdoored binary. That's not necessarily the case. Imagine if they pushed an update of the app out with the vuln to only some users, or users in {country} in their app release

I wish there was a fund we could pool money into to make LibreOffice less ugly to look at. I'll happily donate to the cause.

Very nice. Now for their next trick they should offer inference on actually useful models like DeepSeek R1 (not the distills).

The U.S defense apparatus sees China as its primary adversary. Anything that can help china to develop a stronger economy or military is seen as a threat. Therefore, anything that can create a wide gap between U.S and China's A.I capab

This is a false dichotomy. There's a massive grand canyon sized gulf between "unvetted technology" and whatever the hell SAP/Oracle/Tyler-Technologies are.

I'm on Linux (Ubuntu) and haven't had this blurry font issue with any other application that I've installed over the years.

I really want to move off VS Code and start using Zed, but unfortunately the text is always extremely blurry. It's just unusable. I check back on the GitHub issue every few months and it just has more votes and more supportive comments

Bitcoin advocates pivoted on Bitcoin being a currency after it, to be brutally honest, failed to function as a currency. Last few times I transacted BTC, the fees were anywhere between $5 and $15 and the transaction times were more than 1hr

These are the real Cypherpunk coins. Specially Monero. The premise behind Cryptocurrencies, (before crypto-bros joined), were all about distributed control, privacy, and censorship avoidance. If there's a single company or "founda

People have been afraid of the public getting dumber since the start of mass book printing and has happened with every following new technology since then.

This is surprising. From everything I've been hearing in the media, I got the impression Apple had mostly given up on their XR products and will keep them on life-support until the technology is ready for mass consumption.

Hopefully these can be used in human transplants too so people don't have to resort to stealing and kidnappings. There are even militaries that are actively (right now) stealing human organs and distributing them to the civilian sector

This seems like a solution looking for a problem. Can't you just share your model's hash when releasing it? This is exactly what happens when someone like Mistral share a magnet link to their model. It's just a hash.

They can still hold you for a long time (days?) at the border without being formally charged with anything. That's what I've been told, not sure how true it is. A Canadian entering the U.S was held for 2 weeks with no charges - no

Your unfounded ad hominem attacks aside, everything posted both there and on The Intercept are provably true. Interesting that you conveniently ignore the main issue here, which is the lack of integrity.

I've just been looking for a UPS for my home lab. Do your batteries need any kind of an internet connection to set up or operate? Assuming I wouldn't want to use the app.
