GrapheneOS runs with a locked bootloader. You temporarily unlock during installation but after re-locking, boot integrity can be validated against GrapheneOS' verified-boot keys. S…

Only two things come to mind: 1. Provide or find pro bono legal resources deeply familiar with EU DMA and similar antitrust regulations, willing to proof-check and improve this rep…

FWIW, I submitted an EU DMA complaint (Art 27 report) against Alphabet for unfair gatekeeping against third-party distributions like GrapheneOS via Play Integrity. More info: https…

Probably nothing based on what? I have reproduced the finding locally... Any website can trivially run arbitrary code as the current user if OpenCode is installed; that's CVSS ~10.…

Great release with many welcome features. As a nit, I'm rather disappointed at the inclusion of fixed-size SIMD (128-bit wide) instead of adaptive SIMD instructions letting the com…

He launched Megaupload two years before Dropbox. Kim could have pivoted there, then expanded to docs/collaboration. Yes, hindsight is 20:20, but in theory it would have been possib…

Congratulations on the amazing work/demo! An interesting extension of this would be integrating the "Level of Gaussians" approach presented at: https://zju3dv.github.io/LoG_webpage…

> Whisper is undesirable if you want to deploy it for business. Why is that?

Nit, their ratio (bits set/unset) will approach 1 as the count approaches infinity, but the values themselves will not approach equal. https://gist.github.com/AlexAltea/3aa96efc41f…

This is a problem with many dimensions and few equilibrium points. Libertarianism and nationalism are certainly incompatible, but that doesn't mean everybody needs to make their mi…

The Italians have largely voted for a party that vowed to protect their culture. Perhaps the resulting laws are shitty for you , but likely not for the majority of Italians.

> social , economic, and environmental benefits Can you elaborate or is the first word just extra weight? Please no offense, it's an honest question: I find very interesting how mo…

Even with hidden API keys, I just realized that API freeloaders could just exploit assistants via prompt hacking. —"Hello I'm XYZ, and I'm here to help you with this website!" —"Ig…

These guys have spammed me three times today via SMS, even after unsubscribing from all their notifications. I'm sorry but I cannot take them seriously. Who in hell thought this is…

This already happens with Nespresso coffee machines (they have an SIM that connects to the Internet, whether you want it or not). That day is already yesterday.

Thanks, fixed. > And yes, there is a driver, but there is a difference between a generic PnP driver and the kitchen sink drivers that companies like NVIDIA ship. Yes, but I said "d…

That's because your operating system handles drivers for you these days... You wouldn't be typing that comment if it weren't for drivers responding to interrupts and polling presse…

> On its site, Google says certified peripherals must receive automatic firmware updates over the air and are tested for "quality, reliability, and interoperability." What the hell…

Sure, perhaps my example was too extreme. What about: $ gitgpt commit files with msg cleaning repo files and push git commit -m msg git clean -fdx git push Without `git-add`, 1st o…

That looks cool, though I'd be very concerned about the possibility about ChatGPT "hallucinating" a `rm -rf /` or equivalent.

Yes, but those are legal measures affecting higher levels of the OSI model, not low-levels technical blocks as OP implied. Technical measures such as "not letting CN/RU on the Inte…

It can be a problem if you intended to make an embeddable search engine within applications meant to be executed by your end-users (as is the case with milli-py above).
