Then you have companies like AWS, they were sending invoices from `no-reply-aws@amazon.com` but last month they changed it to `no-reply@tax-and-invoicing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com`. That looks like a phishing attempt from someone using a rand

They mention that they're "demonstrating that privacy-respecting AI services are feasible", knowing their duck.ai is sending the prompts to other AI services, and then in the same paragraph they mention leaks and hacks. To th

Take for example FreeBSD, it's not mainstream but also not too obscure, they get some funding through the FreeBSD foundation, and yet wifi drivers are still an issue.

Thanks! > 20 Milliarden Euro Yep, so the source uses the long scale "milliard" and the translations use short scale "billion", it checks out.

> Is 20b euro enough to be a real alternative? Since we're talking about Europe, my first instinct here is that I want to double-check what they mean by "billion"[1]. This article being in English makes me assume short sca

Nowadays it's mostly inertia. But I think it all began with disliking systemd and at the same time being obsessed with ricing and minimalism. Tiling window managers, simple terminals, LuaKit as a web browser (!), stuff like that. Back

My 2 cents. I have been using Alpine Linux as my main Linux distro for... I don't know how long, but probably more than 5 years at this point. My only issues have been: * Nvidia proprietary drivers (when I was building a PC with an old

With family and friends you can just be yourself[1] though. If they watch the recording after 5 or 10 years, they will probably look at it affectionately, at most with some light teasing. They're not going to, for example, start harass

And most of the steps in the interview process are not even technical (depending on the company), so most of your final score probably comes from your sales presentation^W^Wcommunication skills.

I would be very interested in an API similar to the plates[1] library, but with support for event bindings (instead of being just a one-off rendering of plain HTML). My first thought is that it might not be very maintainable, and at best mi

Yeah that has been on my backlog. I admit that I haven't given them too much priority, but at some point I want to try an AI agent that works offline and is sandboxed.

Don't agents still depend on LLMs to produce a human-readable response, rather than as a source of information/knowledge? And aren't they still vulnerable to prompt injection attacks, due to being unable to separate the infor

I call them a "soup" because AFAIK there's no intent behind them: I'll stop calling them a soup when the part that generates a human-readable response is completely separate from the knowledge/information part; when

The first use case that comes to mind (if this had an API, which I don't think it does), is to easily convert a list of Spotify links into different links that can be downloaded from `yt-dlp`.

A fuzzy search engine with a better "semantic index"[1] than classic search engines, but the trade-off is that instead of returning links it returns a generated soup of words that are semantically close to your "query".

Would it be accurate to describe Jujutsu as "a Mercurial-inspired frontend for Git"? Also, another question I have for people who have used Jujutsu: Is it focused on interactive use, or is it also convenient to use for automatic&#

Yeah, my main worry here is how we define the unwanted traffic, and how that definition could be twisted by bigcorp lawyers. If it's too loose and similar to "wanted traffic is how the authors intend the website to be accessed, un

Probably not. But it's the same thing with random software from a random nobody that has no license, or has a license that's not open-source: If I use those libraries or programs, do I think they would sue me? Probably not.

I don't know about this. This means I'd get sued for using a feed reader on Codeberg[1], or for mirroring repositories from there (e.g. with Forgejo), since both are automated actions that are not caused directly by a user interac

Understandable. The way I see it, a software project has only (1) code you maintain or pay someone to maintain for you, and/or (2) throwaway code that you will eventually need to replace with an incompatible version. Nothing wrong with

I don't get spam emails, but I get spam phone calls. Sometimes it happened suspiciously a few minutes before a call that's actually related to the position I applied for. But a phone number is expected here where I live (Spain).
