I've had some maintenance issues with my car, guess I should just design and manufacture my own.

I'm curious what extensions you installed and what your hardware looks like. I've found firefox to be faster than chrome, but I know others have run into issues like you describe.

I want to know what the current power requirements are, as well as the cost for the machine. The last time I looked at one of these it was an absolute beast (although very impressive).

This makes me so happy and brings back a lot of memories. I really appreciate all the effort that video game archivists put into keeping these old games playable.

Crypto hasn't solved the digital scarcity issue at all. If the game stops existing so do the servers hosting the assets, since most crypto systems can only hold small tokens rather than the assets themselves. There are plenty of NFT ex

No that's a good call out, I got my timing a bit off there.

No, this is a bit different. When GPT 4.o came out OpenAI also added new features that allow the models to perform actions. This allows you to do that, but locally. The reason this is cool is because it allows you to integrate with things l

It's funny you mention that, as they have the largest upgrade to the UI in the current nightly build. There was a reddit comment with some pictures. https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1epkgh5/

That may have been true five years ago but it's not true today.

One of these things is not like the other. Ross Ulbricht was part of a murder for hire scheme, and was not a whistle blower or anything close to a reporter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Ulbricht#Murder-for-hire_..

It allows them because of a court case that said they can't take them down unless they can provide shelter, and they've refused to build enough shelter space. The supreme court invalidated that decision, and so now they are allowe

When I was at Rad AI we did out the math on rent versus buy, and it was just so absolutely ridiculously obvious that buy was the way to go. Cloud does not make sense for AI training right now, as the overhead costs are considerably higher t

Scraping often uses the same APIs that the website itself does, so to make that work a lot of sites will have to put their content around authentication of some sort. For example, I have a project that crawls the SCP Wiki (following best pr

This has been a concern for well over a decade, and self driving cars only changes it a little bit. You can google "remote car hacking 2010" or earlier to find great examples and reports of this going back pretty far. It's be

I reported a different security issue to github, and they responded the same (although they ultimately ended up fixing it when I told them I was going to blog about the "intended behavior").

According to the US court systems the robots.txt file is meaningless. If they respond with a 200 status code giving you the access then you can legally scrape it all you want. If they require that you log in then you have to follow the term

I am absolutely blown away by the number of people who are saying that this person, who is clearly depressed and likely burnt out, can solve all of his problems by having children. It is the most insane advice I have ever seen on this site.

I meant legitimate in the sense that you won't go to jail, and you'll get an I9 for your taxes. I did not mean it as ethical, and I definitely agree with what you're saying there.

There are legitimate companies that buy exploits, not just ones that are on the dark web and pay in bitcoin. Just with a quick check I found Zerodium, which claims to offer bounties up to $2.5 million. They say their clients are "gover

I'm a paying customer. I paid for it because of the open source license. The thing that is misleading is pretending that being open source only makes them $300/month while ignoring the number of customers who chose them because th

It's a bit of both. It gives me confidence that I have a backup plan, but really trust is the bigger issue. An analytics tool gets a lot of data from people and being able to validate what they're doing is important. Additionally

They might only be making $300/mo in donations, but the only reason I'm a paying customer of theirs is because the product is open source. When Fathom stopped maintaining their open source version I moved to Plausible, even though

This seems pretty unequivocal then- they're clearly using this to provide additional functionality to their own applications (at least Meet) that other companies who don't control the browser can't match.

On Roku it doesn't save your progress. I have to remember the last episode of what I watched and then find that episode. It's really annoying.

Maybe if their app wasn't complete garbage they'd have more subscribers.

Before this case went to the supreme court, if a city offered someone on the street access to a homeless shelter then they were allowed to force the person to move. It was only when the city did not have shelter space that they were no long

In the US, where all these companies are based, it is legal to scrape any site that doesn't require a login regardless of the robots.txt file. However, what you do with that data is still subject to copyright law.

Well it's weird for me, because I was one of the people being treated better (I'm a guy). I just don't want to work with assholes, so when I see people being assholes to other people and leadership doesn't take it seri

Every time I had to leave for ethical reasons it was a leadership thing, mostly relating to how they treated other employees. For instance, I joined a company that advertised itself as being fairly ethical (they even had a "no selling
