Finally, TLS 1.2 is baseline, after having been released 18 years ago.

This is stupid without color calibration, or even contrast/brightness levels on your monitor, which can turn these turquoise shades into other colors entirely.

Apple is currently lightyears ahead in privacy compared to any other major consumer tech company, is this going to still be the case with Mr. Ternus at the helm? That's not a question meant to be answered right away, but my current mindset evaluating the change in leadership as a consumer.

EDIT: Also, can Apple take over the data center already? I am sick of HP and Dell.

Guess I better make a third alt

Any way to download them all at once?

Did you build in regions you don't even use and then forget about it?

Why does that matter? Being oblivious to obfuscated binaries is like failing the captcha test.

Let's say instead of reversing, the job was to pick apples. Let's say an AI can pick all the apples in an orchard in normal weather conditions, but add overcast skies and success drops to zero. Is this, in your opinion, still a skilled apple picking specialist?

It's a country not a ticker symbol. VE is proper but even VZ would be better.

If it can't generate non-sexual content of a woman in a bikini, I am not interested.

Are these meetings truly constrained to the continental US?

Someone in a Scandinavian country is probably well informed of how terrible it is for the poorest and most vulnerable outside their country. The indexes are probably the same.

The person in the Scandinavian country, when asked this question, will think "hmm, well I am not in America, so I will add 3 steps to my answer" and, och se där, up they go to the top of the World Ranking.

The language used on the website is very fresh! They are brave enough to call bad AI output "slop", which immediately makes me think they are trustworthy, that they are in the know. An AI bandwagoner wouldn't be brave enough to call it slop.

Then there's a blurb about the CEO who claims "AI doesn't need better prompts. It needs orchestration." which is something I have always felt to be true, especially after living through highly engineered prompts becoming suddenly useless when conditions change because of how brittle they are.

I might even give this a shot and I usually eschew AI plugins because of how cloud connected they are.

I am a nobody, but I think these people are making a bunch of right moves in this AI space.

I don't see a distinction. Vibe coding is either agent assisted coding or using chatbots as interpreters for your design goals. They are the same thing.

Being reliant on a single OS permanently nailed to the hardware is no less crazier.

Locking OS upgrades to a network vendor is substantially crazier. It creates pockets where the hardware vendor ships a security update but your network doesn't care to ship it and isn't incented to. It is BANANAS.

Is it exfiltration if it's your own data within your own control?

I always assumed it was Ethernet protocol itself that made wi-fi suck

I'm with you brother. Intel needs to fix their ways and I don't think a couple generations of playing second fiddle will be enough. Intel burns a lot of money on marketing hoping to trick people about how great their new shit will be (anyone remember when 14th gen was released?) and it ends up being hot air. I have no faith in this one either.

Sadly, they will just have to try harder. It is still doable especially for an American, and I'm not a fan of these doomsayers' prophesying. There is still hope because TikTok and video games are putting most young people in a trance.

Yes. I think American programmers are at a local optimum for combining ingenuity and work ethic. You can get more ingenuity vs work ethic or the other way around elsewhere, but the American blend seems to be best.

Maybe because Microsoft is a shit company and anything they do is sus af. And everyone knows it. And I'm tired of pretending like it's not. I wouldn't trust Microsoft to babysit my mortal enemy's kids.

Maybe if they weren't literally the borg people would open their hearts and wallets to Redmond. They saw that Windows 10 was a privacy nightmare and what did they do? They doubled down in Windows 11. Not that I care but it plays really poorly. Every nerd on the internet spouts off about Recall even though it's not even enabled if you install straight to the latest build.

They bought GitHub and now it's a honeypot. We live in a world where we have to assume GitHub is adversarial.

_NSAKEY???

Fuck you Microsoft.

Makes sense karma catches up to them. Maybe if their mission statement and vision were pure or at least convincing they would win hearts and minds.

We did this song and dance in RHEL. It's fine. Just use /var/tmp if you need persistent tmp storage. Gnome and X and tmux will not make you swap and if they do run xfce instead.

I use samba on Debian Linux running on a Mac Mini. The data partition lives on an externally connected Samsung SSD. It's probably not what you want, but it sure is small.

Mint is just as bad as AnduinOS, it's just an Ubuntu clone. NixOS is just Silverblue but worse. Everyone should just be using Debian, or Arch if you want to rice, or Fedora if you use RHEL at work.

Do you find there's a similarity between Spanish and Russian? In my limited experience, Russians who speak Spanish also seem to speak it quite well.

Prophetic

So much has happened in the field of query optimization in the last 30 years, very little of which has ended up in Postgres, I think. Postgres has gotten parallel workers and a JIT, but the fundamental design is largely unchanged.

Guess I'll keep using Postgres.
