D'oh it's also on the owner's site's page for free: https://necroticgnome.com/products/dolmenwood-quick-start

If you're curious drivethrurpg is currently[1] offering a quick start adventure of this for free: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/575501/dolmenwood-qu... . [1] - I found it…

The purchasers of the cameras, ie HOAs, law enforcement, etc, own the data. They are also the ones routinely caught abusing this. This is a real problem that should be dealt with b…

signull is more of an anonymous sh*tposter than a known industry insider, but I think this does capture the sama contribution to OpenAI very well. At least from an outsider who fol…

I wonder how it compares to https://github.com/inkle/ink of Sorcery! and 80 days fame?

This page came about because of how long it took PQC to get standardized. This was a slow enough process that a whole slew of QKD vendors arose and sold a lot of products promising…

This must be what gwern meant when he said to write for AI.

Right, that's the same situation as fuzz testing today, which is why I compared it. I feel like you're gesturing towards "Attackers only need to get lucky once, defenders need to d…

I think the author makes some interesting points, but I'm not that worried about this. These tools feel symmetric for defenders to use as well. There's an easy to see path that inv…

It's clear, from watching Russia fail to be completely sanctioned that this is not watertight. The question I have is: have these sanctions added a money laundering tax to doing bu…

In theory it prevents failures of the allocator that would allow reading uninitialized memory, which isn't really a thing in Go. In practice it provides a straightforward path to c…

Speaking (unofficially) as someone who works at one of the "other brands" that reeks of journalists having a bias.

Well the idea behind tokens is that they should be time and authZ limited. In most cases they are not so they degrade to a glorified static password. Solutions like generating them…

Not having redundant rails in case of breakdowns is something BART is well known for

How many files do you have? At what scale did you see this being a problem? I'm a fan of Obsidian, not affiliated with them, but my experience with basic file syncing like syncthin…

Wandering around my dungeon, doing things, in the first person was such a fun experience as well. It felt like such a novel way to explore what I was doing and look at my creatures…

Is this the financial version of the 3-body problem?

There's a long history of this. A defense against the Morris worm made use of this as well.

> Why would we want a digital currency? For similar reasons to all the other stuff above. It's more convenient. When you "transfer money" from your bank account to another, your ba…

No, it's so much worse than anyone could have imagined. For example: "kids’ shorts with drawstrings longer than regulation length, which cause a trip hazard."

This is really fun, thanks for putting it together. I appreciated the checksum and entropy visualizers quite a bit, they made how it works "click" for me.

That was something I struggled to understand for AI-2027. They have China nationalize DeepCent so there's only one Chinese lab. I don't understand why OpenBrain doesn't form multip…

It is, but the collaboration portion is a CYOA part you need to implement yourself. There are OSS versions of that as well but they are not officially supported.

I've always viewed SOC-2 as a certification for business continuity, not security. Once you view it as making sure that the service can continue running, even with disaster or heav…

Only if you can also take the worldwide network and infrastructure that make it possible. Though a room full of human computers processing math out loud to send wealth around seems…
