What about employees smart enough to boot a laptop from a thumb drive but not smart enough to disassemble it who just want admin to install some game from a dubious source? What about other scenarios neither you or I can think of right now?

It's only useless if you assume a perfectly capable attacker. That's not every attacker, though. We're not always up against a nation state actor, in fact, some attackers are quite dilettante. I believe the assumption that if

You can use your phone's NFC reader to read those cards. In combination with the app you can use it to authenticate against services that support it. Looks like I was wrong and it's not actually ZKP, just regular PKI. What I meant

The german gov id supports that. They have a PKI and the id is a smart card with a cert and private key on it [0]. It lets you answer the question "are you over 18" with a zero knowledge proof. I guess it only proves you have in y

I also got turned off after the very first paragraph. Too bad, because the content itself might be fine, but the AI language has become repulsive.

In many cases, Debian unstable is also a good choice.

Unfortunately, remapping escape to caps lock can lead to serious friction if you have to work with different laptops a lot, like I do. The muscle memory gets in the way a lot.

TUIs already increased in popularity before agents became a thing. The low latency, the ease of remoting and the limited screen real estate which forces the developer to carefully design the interface are genuine advantages. I've been

Ah, too bad my machine doesn't let me set the pressure

Sorry, maybe I should have quoted the next line as well: > Pabst echoes that advice: “My recommendation for people at home, without knowing anything they are doing, 90% chance that if you use less coffee and grind a little coarser [your

What are the 13 predictions? Can you list them or provide a link to that list?

by mr_mitm 5mo ago
Wire is also a commercial product though
137.
by mr_mitm 6mo ago
I don't think Typst fits in this list. They never claim to be some sort of markdown or have any overlap with it, and their core product is the compiler, not the language. Just because they added some syntactic sugar that sometimes some

Yeah, judging by the terseness, this is clearly aimed at undergrads. Then again, this is covered in literally every calculus class, so I'm not sure who this is supposed to be for.

Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's a real bug or a backdoor masquerading as a vulnerability.

That's a fundamental problem with prediction markets, not the insider aspect of it.

The phone also needs to be rooted for any of the attacks to work. At least that's what the manufacturer's AI generated article says: https://eidas-pro.com/blog/eu-age-verification-app-hack-expl...

The system hosting the model must be one of the ends. Remember, all encryption is E2EE if you're not picky about the ends.

Granted, this was Opus. But I barely hadn't an issue on the $100 plan with that. It was a refactor that renamed some functions and consolidated some data structures.

I went back to the $20 plan and a single prompt maxed out my quota for the five hour window within 15 minutes. I used to be able to vibe code for over an hour before. This is really annoying.

I believe that routine in general helps a ton. Go to sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, go for a walk at the same time, etc. You will wake up at the same time as a side effect. At least that's what happened to me during covi

Even Windows admins often wait a while after the release of an update so they don't get a bad update from Microsoft, which is a real concern unfortunately.

I'm getting flashbacks to Spivak, who wrote a 2000 page "introduction" to differential geometry.

Also, what even is "a negative"? The following statements are equivalent: "There are no squares with diagonals of different lengths" "All squares have diagonals of equal lengths" Similarly, I can rephrase the s

If there is a footgun I haven't considered yet in backup exclusions, I'd like to know more. Shouldn't it be safe to exclude $XDG_CACHE_HOME? Unfortunately, since many applications don't bother with the XDG standard, I ha
