There is the PinePhone. It has 3GB of RAM and needs to be charged daily. It's barely enough for my use case, which is essentially "I need a browser and a shell". Haven't tried an e…

Seems like the wrong spot to optimize for fairness / equal playing conditions when the weather itself affects the game in so many more ways.

Or split semantics and layout and work in markdown the whole time. (And only render it to PDF or similar at the very end - if you even need to publish it at all to someone who can'…

I've paid 200€ for my PinePhone. It is underpowered, but at least it doesn't have to waste its resources on rendering ads. Where Android/iPhone users have "apps", I mostly end up w…

I use postmarketOS btw...

For linux, there's this excellent series of articles by Eli Bendersky: https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/01/23/how-debuggers-work-... https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2011/01/27/how-…

I have never actively asked a question on SO either. But for every programming question I ever had (literally!), I always either found the solution to it, or the reason why my ques…

More interesting would be the IP!

My PinePhone runs postmarketOS and can technically run every modern Linux desktop "app".

Yes, but the underlying problem is a lack of exact specification what the agent is allowed or not allowed to do. It must have access to some (most?) of my files (but I'm too lazy t…

If your threat model is that of a malicious agent that will use a 0-day LPE to get root and exfiltrate all of your SSH keys, virtualization makes sense. But then, I wouldn't run su…

Stories about copilot messing things up made into regular newspapers... Do Anthropic users consider themselves clever enough to not make the same mistakes as Microsoft?

You have to put them into a RULES.md of course!

The reports of copilot running amok when Microsoft integrated it into Windows 11 should have been enough of a warning. You either ensure proper sandboxing, or you'll be in for a ba…

What should it do then? The whole point of LLMs is that you can stop writing rigorous rules in a programming or config language with hard-to-learn syntax, and can resort to natural…

> they are never actionable, don’t say anything Wikipedia doesn’t Researching your way through Wikipedia and the likes certainly counts as "Western education", which as we all know…

Guardrails are essentially part of the input. Saying "but we have guardrails" is like saying "but we do trust part of the input". Either way, even if you trust 100% of the input, t…

> In most agentic prompt injection attacks, the agent treats the wrong content as a trusted source of instructions and allows itself to be misdirected or misused. This happens when…

I have conditioned my left first finger and pinky to just hammer F5 and Esc until the page loading stops at the right moment...

in fact, this could be generalized more and doesn't neccessarily have to be about hiding messages . We've all heard the discussions about using VPNs "for privacy" (i. e. for hiding…

I guess you could make a point for using messengers based on open protocols (like Matrix) that have plenty of different client implementations. It doesn't protect you from targeted…

SXMO is pretty minimal in that regard, but it doesn't force you to use the touchscreen. Can also navigate through menus via the volume buttons...

As a user, I much prefer a blocking UI thread to one that lets me spam clicks on the "rotate left" and "flip along vertical axis" buttons and then makes me wonder why the resulting…
