"If I don't know you, I don't merge you" And if you catch somebody submitting code they can't explain, you don't know them anymore. It's really simple. Open source has always had a social layer. Github c

Nonsense, it's easy: you just need a social process like Linux has. Patches are ignored unless you've proven yourself to somebody. Start by participating in technical discussions on IRC or the smaller mailing lists; do that for

I don't think anybody wants to live forever in an old person's body. Frankly, I'm not interested in extending my lifespan unless I can stay young or regain youth. Also, if you eliminate all the aging-related causes of death

This is the classic "without death, authoritarian depots will be in power forever". But it's actually the wrong way around. Hope that the despot will soon die saps peoples' will to do the difficult and dangerous job of

I was not expecting such a high level of maturity and sophistication here. Bravo, sir.

Whether to prosecute or not is not an objective question of competence.

If your legal system depends on the benevolence of prosecutors, you've already lost before it began. Attorneys are supposed to be adversarial . The system's soundness shouldn't depend on anything more than them trying to wi

I am going insane. During the last week or so LLMs have produced a number of counterexamples to significant long-standing conjectures. I will not recount these happenings here, there are many places where you can find the details. I stopp

Even 0-RTT connections still allocate connection state. IPFS learned this the hard way. The mental model you need is the attacks that cause the Linux kernel to send SYN cookies. Learn how that attack works and you'll understand why y

Kinda lame that people are downvoting this. I've had the same perspective for quite a while now, but hadn't been able to phrase it this cleverly. Our neocortex is, by any definition, vastly more "intelligent" than the re

Wow, really? I took four years of Spanish in high school, and thirty-ish years later I can hold basic conversations with people, ask for things, answer their questions.

DoorDash is viable only because the restaurant business (minus national chains) is extremely balkanized. Restauranteurs have very little power.

Unfortunately the model companies will simply reinject the friction by mandating BYOK (Bring Your Own Key -- i.e. the end user must onboard with each model company individually). OpenAI and Anthropic have already done this. Mandated BYOK wi

This fails to control for the fact that women, on average, live to older ages before dying.

Access control is the operating system's job, and modern OSes already provide plenty of great tools for doing that. Just use the existing sandboxing infrastructure like bubblewrap, seccomp, etc. I have way more faith in that than in s

You can easily do this with simple Unix `chmod x-rw` on a wrapper that makes HTTP requests, adding the access token as it does.

by octoberfranklin 5mo ago
The problem is that it has become very popular to ban people from a sub based on what other subs they post to. It was turning Reddit into a two-party universe. The better fix would be to make the support for multiple accounts in the redd
