"If a company doesn't want you as a consumer you might consider go to a competitor" doesn't sound like giving them power, quite the opposite.

Also, let's be honest, outside of some loud privacy concerned voices, most people don't care and they will prefer to scan their faces with the phone they have at home which is an action they are already used to do than to spend money to buy some nerdy device.

The funniest thing is that apparently "misantropia" is just the hacker's nickname. People were making wholes theories about the meaning of the message, but most likely it was just a signature.

Yes, I meant that not everyone actually turn their phones off, most just switch it to dot not disturb mode, which is overridden by those emergencies alerts.

And as for enforcement, yeah there isn't an effort in trying to avoid anyone sneaking in an extra phone, it's basically grounded on good faith and the fact that if they catch your phone with you (or even if it rings in the bag), you're eliminated from the exam. That's where I think the chaos would arise. If everyone's phones alerted at the same time, the examiner wouldn't know what to do.

I think cgit is the simplest one that provides a browsable http version of the repository if that's what you want. It's used by the Linux Kernel itself. Example: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin...

Not a message, but a date. There's this huge national exam called ENEM that is like SAT that every Brazilian in age to enter a college takes. Millions of students are taking it every year at the same date and time, as its result is what determines who enters in the best universities. Obviously, security against cheating is a huge concern and so everyone must have their phones turned off and sealed in a bag that stays in front of the class until they finish the exam. Now I can only imagine the chaos that would be if an alert was sent in that day.

Wouldn't. There isn't a single Brazilian who doesn't know Brazil's current world cup status. The entire country stops when there's a game. Nobody would fall for that.

Not a native English speaker, so I may be far off on this discussion, but for me this kind of activity where you write a blog post and ask for donations is closer to busking than to begging.

I use an specific email address for github and git commits and I can assure you people were scraping github for a while, even before AI.

It's funny how back in the days we used to think the worse a big corporation could do is charge you money. Those were simpler times.

This makes sense if someone bought a ticket and didn't showed up, but what if none was sold? They could just stop selling after a certain time and be sure nobody will be there late.

I am constantly amazed at how much they "fall" for the LLM, often believing it's sentient.

Cynical part of me had this theory that, at least for part of them, it's the other way around. It's not that they see AI as sentient, it's that they never have seen other human beings like that in the first place. Other people are just means for them to reach their goals, or obstacles. In that sense, AI is not really different for them. Except they're cheaper and be guaranteed to always agree with them.

That's why I believe CEOs, who are more likely to be sociopaths by natural selection, genuinely believe AI is a good replacement for people. They're not looking for individuals with personal thoughts that may contradict with theirs at some point, they're looking for yes-men as a service.

It's a version of the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect.

Beggars in fact can be choosers. If I give a beggar a rotten sandwich he can look at it and say "nah, I'm good". He can even be less polite and call me names for trying to give him food that is not good to eat. Why would I do that anyway? Well, maybe because I'm trying to build an image that I am a charitable person but I don't want to actually have the effort and costs of producing for him a fresh sandwich. In this scenario why people would take the beggars side.

Can't risk hiring an amateur and he accidently succeeded.

This would only take away credibility from Bolt. Specially for something that has so little subjectivity as "running fast". I this really happened the most likely case is that Bolt joined a cult and got brainwashed to believe the cult leader is faster than him.

Make it sound more empowering:

"Let Copilot decide where you want to go today!"

Yes, you can run in your local git repo:

  git config core.sshCommand "ssh -i /home/your_user/.ssh/your_custom_key"

I use this all the time as my main key is ed25519 but some old repositories only support rsa keys.

The sshCommand config is, as the name says, the literal ssh command that is used by git when operations that call a remote with ssh (usually push/pull). You can also put other ssh options in there if you need.

Another option to achieve the same effect is to setup directly in your ~/.ssh/config:

  Host your_custom_alias
    HostName git.domain.com
    User git
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/your_custom_key

My rate of thinking is faster than typing, so the bottleneck has switched from typing to thinking!

Unless you're neuralinking to AI, you're still typing.

What changed is what you type. You type less words to solve your problem. The machine does the conversion from less words to more words. At the expense of less precision: the machine can do the conversion to the incorrect sequence of more words.

I think it's weird having an arbitrary minimum age to be president. I would probably never vote for someone in their 20s anyway, but I don't think there should be a legal barrier. In my country (Brazil) it's the same age, but we usually just copy US in think kind of policy. I wonder how common it's in the rest of the world.

They don't care about being American. They want the sweet American dollars that X is paying for engagement. They figured out the MAGA crowd is the easiest to engage, so that's where they go.

Seems like when the security market is low on the white hat side, it's high on the black hat one. Security people just need to learn to adapt.

And of course there's AI!

In the AT protocol, your identity isn't tied to a server.

It kinda is. Your identity is in the hands of whoever controls the PLC Directory. You can argue this is better than having your account and identity on the same place, but it still a third party that you depends on.

Payment Request API is a thing and it looks kinda nice, except apparently nobody cares about it.

Curl's case was related with its bug bounty, so when involving money the incentives are different.

Imagine if companies automatically paused billing if you stopped using their product? Panacea.

Beeminder does exactly that!

GCP outbound data is limited to 1GB/mo and I believe by default it doesn't have any cap, it will just charge for additional traffic with the credit card you are required to enter in order to get a free tier account. So I would be careful publishing anything with it.

I don't know exactly what's the logic but sometimes I need to confirm a rm operation with an "y". Maybe cp and mv should have the same behavior for destructive operations.

People were literally XSSing themselves and the worst someone did was a funny prank. Those were simpler times.
