- Software is copy-able for nearly free. - Hardware is not. Even if you have the plans, you've to build the infrastructure for it, and its a fairly finite, physical item. Both are …

rust is pretty nice actually

it is getting there, and not so slowly though. The remaining problem is that it's still just a tool. Telling a random dev "make zig faster in a one shot PR" isn't going to give goo…

When i was a kid, my dad had a Mac with the A/V PAL-SECAM cards. Hooked up a make-shift copper wire antenna and wrote a decoder with the free codewarrior cd folks gave me at Paris'…

hello faster horses

it's actually just trust but verify type stuff: - verifying isn't asking "is it correct?" - verifying is "run requests.get, does it return blah or no?' just like with humans but us…

just run bazzite already

hello b/Googler :)

or, solid state batteries, graphene, fusion, quantum computers, agi =)

bicycle weight ratios are completely different from even motorcycles. a bike wheel can quickly become heavier than the frame for example.

google even has specially signed fw that let you root the device and unlock anything that doesn't rely on the passcode. secureboot passing and all. i can't imagine that the nsa doe…

hey you aren't supposed to notice :)

you seem to believe that llm are a neutral engine with bias applied. its not the case. the majority of the bias is in the model training data itself. just like humans, actually. fe…

its not an llm thing -- its just -- folks don't know how to use them (pun intended). Same for ; "" vs '', ex, eg, fe, etc. and so many more. I like em all, but I'm crazy.

why not do both :) I think that there's also inherent trust in "hardware security" but as we all know its all just hardcoded software at the end of the day, and complexity will bri…

to be fair, most of MTE's benefit is realized by having enough users running your apps with MRE enabled, rather than having it everywhere. This is because MTE facilitate finding me…

Dan Kaminski popularized this in 2007-8 or so. Not that it didn't exist here and there, but he made the perhaps first public version of a dns tunnel (ozyman). he inspired iodine an…

they do but not extraordinary either. ive a x elite and a bunch of other laptops i like the mba 13 (but barely) and the zbook 395+ the x elite is just a bit slow,.incompatible and …

a lot of the western world learns only speaks about ww2 (let alone ww1, americans civil war, etc.). there has been countless western and non western wars with slightly different pa…

i believe the markdown docs weren't 48y ago though /pedantic-scarcasm

Principles are just nice words, and that's it. It's, IMO, the action/reward loop that matters most (i.e. incentives). Most, if not all big tech companies do not align incentives wi…

it mainly means control these days. ive made SSL then later TLS requirements for web browsers and we had fights on this sort of stuff. yeah encryption is needed. but then you need …

unfortunately, contrarily to popular belief, you cannot run Linux natively on recent macbooks (m4) today.

yes and no. i have macbook pro m4 and a zbook g1a (ai max 395+ ie strix halo) In day to day usage the strix halo is significantly faster, and especially when large context LLM and …
