Agree with the headline part, but the second part not so much. As someone mentioned it's about the trend. I have heard from people at multiple major open source projects that what …

Also my 14yo self was far more skilled at circumventing online guardrails (mostly piracy back then) than my old ass is today. I’m not winning that battle of cat and mouse.

Those are far from easy do handle for majority of parents. Banks keeps sending me warnings about some new ‘Nigerian prince’ level scams. They wouldn’t be doing it if grownups weren…

Not when big tech is doing everything they can to bring harmful content to kids while pretending to sincerely offer guardrails.

WWDC - time of the year Apple reminds us it has a VR.

I like to point out often the yellow vests protesters being ratted out by Proton as good example of how misleading their marketing is. French police contacted Swiss police to get t…

Yes, because shareholder value comes first. Ffs

Thats the variation within the classes. And there will always be outliers, but even if you look at bodybuilders in 100+ kg, they are not what you’d call weak even if they don’t opt…

You cannot be strong without being big and you cannot be big without being strong. Of course there are levels to this, variations within “weight classes”… but in general this holds…

Not sure they can be a poster child while Firefox still exists.

"remained flat" and "remained flat when adjusted for inflation" are two very different things.

> undisclosed F5 vulnerabilities I don’t know why, but this sounds a bit like backdoors.

Qualcomm has bought plenty of companies that serviced small customers, and what happed is exactly what the person you’re replying to described. You can’t even get a quote many time…

it's unrelated to the manufacturing of EVs. If any factory reaches a significant energy generation (usually this means from solar) it makes sense to look into a battery solution. I…

Wanting the latest and greatest was a thing back in 2010s, when there was a lot of progress and a lot of experiments by the phone manufacturers. Today, me and most of my friends ar…

> If we'd ignored anti-nuclear activists in the 70s none of this would be a problem. Lemmi rephrase this for you: If we ignored anti-nuclear activities funded by big-oil in the 70s…

I did not refer to the talent directly contributing to the technical progress. P.S. - clarification: I mean not referring to talent at OpenAI. And yes I have very little doubt tale…

What factories are TSMC and ASML operating in US?

One thing I (intuitively) don't doubt - that they spent less money for developing R1 than OpenAI spent on marketing, lobbying and management compensation.

It had a vary suspicions statement. They stated that they see specifically a lot of Mullvad ads. Not general VPN ads. That is what makes is sound malicious. Mullvad is not even clo…

Have you cared to check the tiers they offer? Hint: not that many, and no free ones. And knowing that mullvad doesn’t come close to the mainstream marketing others (well in essence…

> After 500 issues and 27 years it's time to wrap up the Embedded Muse. It's said there's some wisdom in knowing when it is time to move on, and for me that time is now. I mostly r…

Those type of attacks (CAN injections) are very OEM specific, and come from deep insider knowledge, not something you fuck around and find out. I’m assuming you’re referring to Toy…

Not really. At least not for those immobilizers that don't use "proprietary" ciphers. Automotive loves security through obscurity until it bites them in the ass. Today most manufac…
