This isn't a dilemma unique to encrypted comms or privacy. You have to weigh the net benefits to society as a whole. How much has the lack of secure communication and encryption at rest cost society? How much have the criminals you men

I haven't read anything comprehensive about how much damage the tarriffs have done to businesses, especially those that rely on procurement contracts that suffered compounded price increases. But a sudden drop in jobs would be a pretty

> How much do you think did you think equifax saved by skimping on security? Probably not $575M. They got pwned by an outdated third party library. There's no way keeping your libraries up to date is going to cost anywhere near that

This is confusing. No one (I know) who zealously supports open hardware also thinks that "closed ecosystem" software should be eliminated or undermined. Making hardware friendly to multiple implementations is good for everyone.

Thinking about this a bit - you'd have to isolate any interaction the LLM has with any content to some sort of middle end that can audit the LLM itself. I'm a bit out of my depth here, though. I don't know what Microsoft does

by nzeid 1y ago
Heard, but since the content or its metadata must be surfaced by the LLM, what's the fix?

by nzeid 1y ago
Hard to count the number of things that can go wrong by relying directly on an LLM to manage audit/activity/etc. logs. What was their bug fix? Shadow prompts?

I mean... don't let perfect be the enemy of good? I'm insisting that even the barest minimum of human/manual involvement solely on account signup would be a major security improvement. It would be exhausting to have to audit

I don't understand how a mere account signup is the bar for publishing packages. Why not queue the first few publishes on new accounts for manual review?

Hehe, a little upsetting that I only see one former UO player in these comments right now. I loved the anarchy and never stopped missing it through FFXI, WoW, and other MMO's. There was a rivalry between EQ and UO and no one I knew inc

I am not a lawyer but here it goes: If the target of the warrant itself is the carrier/telecom - probably constitutional, but I imagine there'd need to be a pretty good explanation. If the target of the warrant itself is a single

Right, and that would actually be a mountain and a monumental achievement. But one could argue that the team can move fast on 9a because they can piggyback existing (GrapheneOS) distros.

A few comments here have hinted at this: we don't need to have a debate about penalizing platforms for the fraud of the users, everyone agrees that's problematic. The reason this directive confuses me is because very often the fra

Only if your CAPTCHA-like is hurled at every client indiscriminately. Otherwise you'll end up right back where Spamhaus started: maintaining your own list of good and bad actors. The advantage of a third party service is that you'

We need a project in the spirit of Spamhaus to actively maintain a list of perpetrating IPs. If they're cycling through IPs and IP blocks I don't know how sustainable a CAPTCHA-like solution is.

Those who stand to gain from the absence of privacy ("faang adtech bs") need you to think this way. The truth is there is a ton of incremental progress that can be made to restore our privacy and yes, to some degree it starts with

Echoing mainline Debian + DE of your choice. Switched away from Ubuntu a few years ago and never looked back. If I remember correctly, the Debian setup allows you to specify GNOME, KDE, or Cinnamon. EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm running

If I'm getting this right, any ads you'd see on a Roku would be hosted by the apps themselves e.g. Youtube and such. So Roku wants a piece of the ad action and this is the only way to do it without the burden of providing any actu
