It's true that open handhelds are where it's at right now. Steam Deck is also just simply a wonderful thing. Yet I know it's just somehow not the same as it's been before; architec…

>I think he picked up my "gaming is dead now" outlook since he doesn't really have any interest in new systems or games anymore This is interesting, as I was about to say that gami…

I've seen at least 3 different ideas on this topic: - people not skilled in a thing are bad at estimating their skills - people are generally bad at estimating their skills - peopl…

What do you mean by "until"? I would argue that this situation is the _result_ of being stunted and dependent in the first place.

>This is just another shake down. Quickly becoming the least business friendly place on Earth. Yes, exactly - isn't that the point?

I enjoy the funny implication it creates, that then perhaps if you're entering US in 2026 it means there's something wrong with you.

In fact it was often mentioned as a recommended way to try to invest in SpaceX via proxy, before IPO. I don't think that advice had much merit, but it was there nevertheless.

Mind you, I'm not arguing for the CVE, just complaining that the current thinking is very selective.

Why not both? Countries should be able to signal which business practices are undesirable.

Because you know, the actual solution would be to have more granularity in authentication process than "allow whole device to attach to ADB", but that would be like, difficult... s…

What I find most annoying aspect of all software from 2010s onwards is this stupid discourse and associated results: - some people want A, or A might even be already in use - A is …

How do they handle these assurances? Personally I have zero trust in the AI companies not trying to use this data to get ahead in the game, and short of sharing the weights and har…

I believe that most of terrorism does happen because the people behind it have some goals, not for funsies; so trying to fight the causes would be one thing to do. Obviously, that'…

Open-weight promise seems nice, but 1) I've seen people commenting that these hopes amounted to nothing for some previous releases (no idea which promises were made though); and 2)…

This looks great indeed - I wonder if there are any particular gotchas, though, as things often are in C++next land. With many of the features coming into the language over time, I…

The problem being that I don't think there's a definite proof that any of human thinking is more than a sum of high-granularity partial solutions that can be put together. It could…

What percentage of the budget was it? I think that's also needed for a meaningful comparison. I've heard about the war taxes being high, but I don't know anything about the economy…

One example I can think of: privacy preserving ML models. Company wants to keep their model safe and also perhaps not to force you to run some classification on your phone for batt…

The point is to not have subkeys or any other way to access any part of the plaintex - as the goal is generally to offset the computation and the costs of it to another party. And …

If it will, it will be with smartphones. YubiKeys don't quite have the properties sought here.

The idea of homomorphic encryption is to do things without the knowledge, and not gaining the knowledge. If ciphertext contains a number, and you don't need to know what number it …

Well, for one, Debian and Debian-based distros make your home directory readable by everyone by default. Security is riddled by traps. If you can afford best possible level of isol…

I don't know what's worse: that they did that, or that the operating system allowed them to do that. On both macOS and Windows according to my understanding that should require adm…

This really does - I don't mean it in a disparaging way - read like a mid-life crisis writing. Having to come to terms with the fact that the "old world" is not the current world a…

Maybe it's trivial what I'm saying, but hiring the most skilled available person does not solve the skill disparity.
