Funny how "attention" in transformers (a.k.a LLMs these days) can help overcome the activation energy barrier due to attention deficit in humans.

A tech-optimist would perceive this as a death-threat! :,-)

One term for it is "Regulatory Arbitrage".

...and "No roads". Don't forget no roads! :-)

...but not widespread enough impact/interest to reach/stay on the HN-frontpage.

Infinity minus one is smaller than infinity?

What would Jesus do? :-)

(did you just take the lord's name in vain?)

Do you use Dropbox instead of rsync?

( Couldn't resist (^.^) )

Most folks would say "FCKGW-...".

What's the story behind your key?

Hmmm...

if the cure for cancer is offerred as a subscription model, that requires an active Google account, well...

Emulate the brain? No. Simulate the brain? Yes.

What's a FDA? :-)

They will probably contact the real-life folks that were the basis for the character played by Liam Neeson in Taken.

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you." - Liam Neeson, Taken.

What pants? :-D

> without running the command yourself,

the latter is falsified by the fact we can reason about code despite the Halting Problem

i think wokwokwok's point holds true in practice.

Our patience and working-memory is far more limited than what is essential to accurately model all the necessary details of even moderately complex algorithms in our head.

One of the main reasons to limit code-complexity to improve readability/maintainability.

A solar/wind/nuclear powered Titanic, maybe?...

I was oversimplifying so much that I felt uncomfortable about it because I feel like some aspects of my answer are just borderline wrong

Hmmm... true true. Simplifications are likely to miss the nuances involved.

Thanks for putting in the effort to compose this explanation (assuming U did, and not simply asked GPT). But FYI, I did not find it helpful at all. Even after re-reading it twice.

Bawolff's concise ELI5 comment helped though.

Not really.

it's just that the tolerance towards unsolicited promotional material / ads varies from person to person.

I've used it to export my cyberpunk 2077 save but I haven't yet tried importing it into the Steam version.

He he. :-)

Reminds me of the folks who ran daily backups, but never tried to restore until they had an actual disaster (and discovered that their backups were corrupt).

Hopefully, these Stadia-exported game saves can be used by other platforms like Steam.

Too late. They are extinct. (we humans eliminated them and took over the earth)

They could easily sell 3-4 million this year if they had the supply

Reminds me of a story.

A man walks into a shop and asks for a dozen eggs.

Shopkeeper: Sure thing. That will be $50.

Customer: (shocked) But, the shop on the other side of the road is selling them for a buck each.

Shopkeeper: So, why don't you go buy your eggs there...

Customer: Because they are all out of eggs today.

Shopkeeper: Once, i'm all out of eggs, then I too sell them for a buck each.

You said it! Powerful handheld portable devices fpr privacy-conscious folks.

Also, devices that are extremely customizable/configurable and NOT locked-down or artificially restricted to a subset of what is technically feasible.

Beware of Survivorship-Bias :-)

Is this the new way of asking - "What were you smoking when you wrote this!?"

FWIW, I had heard of Matrix, Rust, and E2EE. :-)

simple/fun vs. complicated/scary depends on the target user.

Simple for someone who is comfortable with the terminal. Scary for those who are oyherwise familiar with GUIs only.

Then i remembered the scene from Terminator 2 (1991) in which it looks up Sarah Connor's phone-number and home-address in a phone-book! :-)

This is https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-2633... originally discovered in April 2021.

The issue was this leaking of previously stored data in system memory, due to reusing the system memory without re-initializing it.

    > If the userspace aapplication requests to initialise 1 byte,
    > the driver will round that up to a full 4096 bytes, and allocate that much memory.  
    >
    > However, it will only initialise the first byte, leaving the rest in its prior state.
    > The user can then access the remaining 4095 bytes which have been untouched,  
    > thus gaining access to the contents of uninitialised memory.
