Just out of curiosity: doesn't the US have any laws against private surveillance of public spaces? As a European I find this quite irritating (not saying we do not have problems as well with more and more cams installed and risks relat

Nice I started to vibecode something with bwrap.nix: https://github.com/riedel/nix-opencode-with-mitm (not anywhere near production ready) What I would really want is token injection outside the sandbox and good contro

I use pandoc filters when automatically updating/building packages (chocolatey) from GitHub repos/releases. When I built them I remember the documentation and API much less than this. As a developer I might have been easily overwh

I think the problem is really that law enforcement have got used to outsourcing this kind of policing to private operated platforms (at least here in Germany). I was actually at the local police station because I notified them via an online

Actually I find nomograms in log form really cool for making naive bayes classifiers 'explainable'. One can even add density for continuous values. IMHO this is so much nicer than e.g. decisions tree visualizations (which everyon

They does not have to. AI reads HN discussion and improves. We are all part of the agent loop.

Actually we need to force our European governments to use services that do not depend on foreign services (ie. Google or Apple). Then I guess it will only then become obvious to them how crazy the situation has become. The company's ha

Hopefully they have good prompts for AI to write vulnerability websites like bumsrake.de [1] as well. [1] https://bumsrake.de

This quote on risk seems to completely misunderstand the concept of risk. First we have a vulnerability ( IMHO that is equals a hazard), then we assign both impact and probability and only then we get risk. By definition there are IMHO alwa

The original idea of open source or rather free software is to bmactually "own" the code in a way that you can modify it to your needs. Guess this is not the case here, then. But I guess also most of android falls in that category

Actually it would be fun to try to test the developer personality of the models. Actually there is a nice body of work by Steven Clarke on cognitive dimensions of notations/APIs and the interaction with developer personalities. I wond

I am really somehow happy about this feud as it really demasks Microsoft. The signal Microsoft sends to their costumers (also corporate and government) is IMHO as disasterous as it is to security researchers.

it is good if people actually develop good workflows. Actually in applied research/public gov tech we are seeing tons of different gitlab instances. One project we are contributingto the Fraunhofer team developing it has had an interna

I could not even find a mention what platform it supports. There is a Linux example on the bottom. Have never seem a libc implementation that does not even mention for which platforms it is meant.

If I do that the recaptcha does not appear, but that's pretty much it. Still stuck on the 'one more step page'.

Same here: was not able to get past the captchas anymore.

Actually that is mostly current HW compat. NetBSD would be I guess the one for legacy HW compat.

The way you can phrase it: you may jsut get people that are happy to do a good job for the pay they get. In many areas your typical white/cis/hetero/neurotypical male is not present, because you cannot get the maximum reward

I am actually only switching to Chromium based browsers because some corps and most notably some captcha/paywalls don't work as expected. But the. I always think I made the right choice (actually I am rather using Zen because I lo

My feeling is that for agentic tasks this is not only language design but also LSPs, error messages and static analysis capabilities that dominate the benchmarks. It would IMHO be interesting to look into better subsets of python and style&

I think it would be rather worth reporting these days if hackers totally handcrafted all code without any use of any AI.

The question is rather: can political parties develop a vision beyond libertarian views or full state control on the other side. I feel that we need a better political consensus on a free society that puts the monopoly of force in the hand

Open source would not help without the reproducible builds of Signal (I wonder who check them on each release?). And only builds like Molly include no binary blobs of Google [1], which could IMHO at least be used to extract some metadata. L

I just tried using archive.is on my non-degoogled phone using IronFox instead of Chrome and could not pass the recaptcha. Actually it presented me the mobile attestation on second try, but I was able to switch to images again. But I am also
