Unless said kid ports Asahi Linux...

Live by the sword, die by the sword

Then they can stop reporting bugs with their asinine one size fits all "policy." It's unwelcome and unnecessary.

Right, they should just post the 0days on their blog.

But yeah, if someone made a cabinet with fancy Japanese joinery that turns out to be inkjet AI-generated veneers over glue and nails... I would not buy it.

Ha! I practice good commit hygiene---even when no one's paying me---because it's useful to my future self, but I don't think pride in one's work (especially through importing workplace best practices) is a great reason, especially not a normative one. I think this is like the proverbial carpenter finishing the back of a drawer though no one will see it. It's done for the carpenter's sake, out of principle or mundane Calvinism, and I wouldn't begrudge a carpenter who didn't. And the latter might sell more furniture.

It wouldn't be acceptable in a well managed company so I don't understand why side projects would get a pass to become sloppy.

Because no one's paying you, and you owe your users nothing?

TeleMessage is a prominent, infamous such product: https://micahflee.com/tm-sgnl-the-obscure-unofficial-signal-...

If anything it's the opposite, except maybe at the very low end: AI boosts implementation skill (at least by increasing speed), but not {research, coding, writing} taste. Hence slop of all sorts.

Hell, there's XFS if you love stability but want CoW.

You can also do this with Cloudflare Workers for fewer setup steps/moving parts:

How is it ironic? Now they just need to wait for open models to be used for something bad enough for policymakers to care.

Can confirm.

I do have a feeling of dejavú, like I've seen this before on hn.

You're either thinking of speculative encoding more generally, or Medusa: https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.10774

Thanks--you just saved me an hour or two of debugging. I thought, CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y, what more do I need to do? I should've just RTFM though: even an unpatched kernel mentions this in the help for that config option.

your app and website are awesome, especially the cursor thing

NeRF needs something equivalent that is physically grounded.

Have you seen Plenoxels? https://alexyu.net/plenoxels/

Isn't a (non-Android) Linux phone a security downgrade unless you get Qubes running on it or something? (And secure boot, and an HSM of some sort, and...)

pKVM (theoretically) works on Pixel 6, 6 Pro, and 6a as well.

New vinyl records quite often come with single-use download codes.

There are a lot of resistive electric ranges, and around 40% of Americans still use gas stoves.

Makes me wonder if this could be used intentionally, as in a recipe that calls for baking soda left next to certain aromatic ingredients to infuse it with flavor.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

That’s almost certainly (the first edition of) the book in this post.

automatic re-writers and scripts to test against Turnitin until it passes

Like an ad-hoc GAN where Turnitin is the discriminator. Interesting.

Computers are an inherently oppressive technology only in the same sense as any technology that isn't, like, a magical box that automatically feeds everyone on earth from thin air forever. There are certainly negative aspects to computers, some of which are touched upon in the article (my specific pet peeve is "middleman" apps like DoorDash or Uber whose sole value-add is to allow you to avoid talking to "the help" delivering your groceries, making your food, etc.). I think it's more productive to judge computers by their net "oppression", and for every Bitcoin or GrubHub there is an encrypted messaging app that stops the state from peering into an aspect our lives, an anonymity tool that lets people speak freely, or a Wikipedia. To use one facet of computing as an example, the populace in aggregate has more secrets than the government, so if each secret kept by the government via encryption adds 1 unit of oppression and each secret kept from the government via encryption subtracts 1, (theoretical, perfect) cryptography would clearly be liberatory on net.

Their core motivation to benefit at others’ expense is to me indicative of mental health issues, possibly caused by insecurity and upbringing trauma.

Could we avoid armchair diagnoses? For society to function we need to maintain the polite fiction that one's actions are determined solely by their will.

Intellectual property makes sense to us because it's existed for our whole lives. I think it would surprise someone who'd never heard of it. If I were told I own a pogo stick but not its "bounceright", I'd be as confused as this hypothetical person.

Why does a giant condo building have to be high-end? Wouldn't that be the most efficient way to house people even if they weren't focused on profit?

If the free market were one entity that could coordinate and say "nobody build more housing, let's squeeze as much money from what we have already", sure, that would be pretty profitable. But if there are enough participants in the marketplace (which depends on the barriers to entry to homebuilding, like regulatory capture, knowledge, capital, and permits) one will want to undercut the others and build houses marginally cheaper than the competition until their marginal profit is zero. Having everyone agree not to build houses and keep prices high is like the "nobody snitch" outcome of a prisoner's dilemma: it's not a stable state/Nash equilibrium. At least this is what I heard in Econ 101, I'm sure I'm missing much nuance here.
