I remember last time I installed it, there was neither sudo nor doas preinstalled.

I got it from here [0]. I didn't notice it was a keyword search, so it's an overcount. Thanks for correcting me. Going off its security advisories page [1] and this tracker [2], it seems to be around 43 CVEs, most rated high sever

OpenDoas, a portable version of OpenBSD's doas, has 4260 LoC while doing most you'd expect. Sudo just has a lot of policy tools that most don't even know about, but add to its surface area.

udisks, not counting its dependencies, has 265,334 LoC. pmount, in contrast, has 19,978 LoC, or >13x less. sudo, another setuid binary with a lot of policy code, has 210 CVEs / 430.150 kLoC = ~0.5 CVE per kLoC. 57.5% of CVEs have a

I've been using a similar workflow with Sideberry on Firefox. It does work semi-good for research, though it still needs some manual organizing. I think tree-tab browsers need some kind of scripting to automate curation: a new youtube.

Activity Recognition API has states ON_FOOT and STILL [0]. They can probably register to handle ON_FOOT-->STILL and wait for N minutes without touching. This also reminds me of the Idle Detection API they tried adding in Chrome. [1] [0]

The early OpenAI Instruct models were more like that. The original GPT-3 was only trained to predict the next token, then they used RLHF to make them interpret everything as queries, so that "Explain the theory of gravity to a 6 year o

I don't know how things are done in the GTK-land, but Qt definitely has bindings for Python, Go, and others. Maybe GObject has some other advantages, but I don't know.

Can you explain what's wrong with sway? I've been using it for quite a while and it's been the one of the most stable pieces of graphical Linux software I've yet seen. It seems to handle most of my features, except i3-li

What makes it problematic is that they still end up with cross-dependencies. I might find resolved or logind great tools, but I can't use them without systemd, even though I can sitll use systemd without resolved. They all reinforce sy

I believe you are making assumptions about my beliefs that don't follow from what I said. > I believe that systemd won out because they chose to embrace some complexity to solve really hard problems. Let's not pretend that a mo

I think you're missing the point. This is a thread about GNOME, a major desktop environment, declaring systemd-userdb as a necessary requirement for its future version, asking the non-systemd community to provide an API-compatible impl

Look at how well forking worked for elogind. It's been a constant burden for Gentoo and they've been looking to replace it ever since. APIs are sticky, and they are chosen because they're common, not because they're good

Do you have a link? That sounds like an interesting story on its own.

Replying to some sibling comments asking why anyone wouldn't want to use systemd. People want to understand their software as well as it's practically possible. It's not an uncommon preference; worse-is-better was quite succe

That was a real news story. A journalist looked at the state's educator-credentials checker, viewed the source and saw it had teacher's SSNs in base64 somewhere in the plaintext. Missouri Governor Mike Parson then tried to legally

> It’s projection. People say “LLMs can’t code” when what they really mean is “LLMs can’t write Rust”. Fair enough! But people select languages in part based on how well LLMs work with them, so Rust people should get on that. How is it t

We treat them as models. We allowed them to be fitted on copyrighted data, arguing the research is an inherent public good. But now that these companies are directly competing with that material's copyright holders, it makes sense to r

Why are they doing it? Google Meet is an organizational conference app, Duo is a one-on-one dialer. If they wanted to have one app for everything, Hangouts would have served that, but they killed it for the organizational Google Chat. Do th

Well, I think proper font scaling would do wonders for making HN more accessible. As things stand, I have to zoom to 120% to read the text. I recall WebKit making a special case in its font rendering logic just for HN.

And then they became featureless monochrome blobs because that's the new trend, and now words are again needed to tell what each is supposed to mean.

I'm no sure, if you mean having the LLM interact with the REPL. REPL requires a lot of discipline from the developer to keep track of its state. LLMs seem to be far worse at this sort of long-term state tracking than most humans. It wo

But what's the aspect of sys-adminning do you find separate from normal use that SteamOS addresses? Is it the updates that break your system? There are mature immutable distros like Fedora Kinoite, which I personally used for years wit
