for better or worse, this is literally the singularity. this thing will eat the world.

I played around with it quite a bit. it is both impressive and scary. most importantly, it tends to indiscriminately use dependencies from random tiny repos, and often enough not the correct ones, for major projects. buyer beware.

As someone who recently wondered what kinds of things might happen, im actually very glad for GPs clarification.

Unlike my sibling commment, i don’t work in SBOM, but if you consider social dynamics and what trust means, it should be pretty obvious that trusting in a group of 10 strangers is much less risky than trusting in 10 separate strangers. cons

Perhaps the distaste is blinding me. Would you care to state the obvious very clearly, for the dense ones among us?

is it trivial to see if a third level dependency is unmaintained?

what other “quality” is there to worry about besides security?

by shwouchk 1y ago
yes, that’s what i thought. but then, what would be the point of rejecting anything, except to actively consent to something else?

I don’t get it. All browsers have a “do not track” toggle implemented. And still, we get consent banners. Wasn’t I clear when i said don’t track?

you only ever look at files through a web application or other api?

way behind the curve, and it still works plenty well both on this site as well as, very recently, to a comcast agent.

ADP is a relatively new thing. it makes sense to roll it out gradually both from engineering POV as well as marketing. Further, as all other forms of e2ee, it makes you responsible for the encryption keys. As a user on the platform I am qui

Are you the speaker for the majority of the population? Or is that claim based on the election results, in a state where opposition leaders, journalists, war critics, or even simple lesbians get jailed for said “crimes”?

So you agree that your argument has shifted from complaining about inadequate disclosure that coffee contains caffeine, to complaints about lack of decaf offerings. It would also be trivial for google and facebook to turn off all ads and lo

by shwouchk 2y ago
So you too, are saying “its possible” as proof of your argument. Which itself shifted from complaining that you aren’t warned that coffee is hot, to - after implicitly agreeing that it should be obvious it’s hot - complaining that it they d

Sorry, they did not go much out of their way, to simply claim “solutions exist”. Sure, you could invent other ways of protecting your traffic but what CF offers in the free tier always includes SSL termination with their own certificates (i

by shwouchk 2y ago
how would they know what to cache? the response headers from the server are encrypted. there is maybe the high end l3 protection available if you have the resources. the free tier has caching bundled. Also, how would their certificates work

by shwouchk 2y ago
cloudflare is primarily a caching proxy. in order to perform any caching, they would have to have the unencrypted objects. check, mate. It is sad that in this day and age, when you buy a car you need to sign a legal exclaimer that you under

I usually notice an increase in those when connecting to sites over vpn and especially tor. could that be it?

I actually prefer the smaller community of the jusia ecosystem. For one thing, when searching for issues online youre much less likely to hit spam “tutorials” or eternal september stuff. And other peoples code is actually a pleasure to read

You really can’t imagine people enjoy using the thing theyre used to, and that has decent integration for most things they want, having stronger privacy protections on default OEM OS, and not wanting to search for and pay for the same kinds

I don’t know if they are the same books as the names are quite generic, but i picked up both this one and the topology book sibling suggested at the library during my undergrad, and read both cover to cover. Both slim books and very clear.

Likewise it made neural nets trainable on home PCs, at sizes that weren’t in the past. Unfortunately for GP as well as for many people in disciplines I quoted, problem sizes grew farther, esp now that compute+electricity directly translates

That’s not true in many domains where doing it on a personal computer would be either too long or too long in asfar as you are are skillful as using faster memory as cache. video production, climate simulations, pdes, protein folding, etc e

All of evolution is path dependent. Dying after a sting does not have to confer extra fitness to exist, right now. rather it had to have conferred some fitness relative to the alternative traits circulating at the time it was selected. obvi

idk if it was sarcasm or not. yes of course it’s natural. it’s just that, with time, discworld universe starts to resemble the real world more and more to me, not a weird parody copy…

Devils advocate; In order for the elite to rule, they need a rich oligarchy of support. At least that’s how it’s always been. And you want cooperation from the mob, if you want the place in general to thrive - and you do, if you’re smart. B
