That doesn't sound at all like any ORM I've ever used. I've struggled in the past because The ones I've used are actively hostile to laying out data in the database in a way not proscribed by the ORMs philosophy. Heck of the ORMs I've used, one didn't support parameterized joins and the other didn't support joins at all.

It's not usually a DB guy gatekeeping, it's that multiple apps use the same database so layout changes are costly.

Web fiction, freely produced and distributed by "consumers" already existed prior to 2019. There are thousands of novels you can read that people produced for their own enjoyment, some even managed to make money off of it via patreon or Amazon's Kindle direct publishing.

Isn't CSRF about forging mutating requests? CORS doesn't block the underlying GET/POST request, the request still goes through and the server still needs to properly implement CSRF prevention. CORS just prevents javascript from reading the response.

CORS _additionally_ requires OPTIONS pre-flight to succeed, before allowing any kind of request outside of what can be achieved with a HTML form submit action. So it blocks PUT/PATCH/DELETE, specifying most Content-Type, and specifying nearly all other headers. But this is just blocking "non-standard complex requests that might confuse badly programmed pre-javascript-era servers".

It passes all standard requests that you could have made by: embedding the url as an image src, the target of a HTML form, endpoint for csp reports, etc. All still need to be checked methodically by the server for CSRF if it's going to take any mutating action due to the request.

I don't actually know of any? I've long since removed the key from my keyboard, and haven't come across anything that actually used it. What games?

I wish I could remove the insert key, but unlike the caps-lock that no application rebinds, insert does get rebound. I wish there was an OS level control "pressing insert by accident should not turn on mangle-my-text-mode".

MMORPGs and games that have many different mechanics might be more prone to it, versus first-person controlled games? In my experience its pretty common.

Games often bind skills or other game mechanics to the function keys.

Anecdotally, I switched from `ctrl+shift+i` to F12 for opening the web inspector due to many websites capturing that keybinding for their own purpose (claude and code editors) if I didn't have a function row I'd have to find an even more arcane hotkey.

They're just a nice set of purpose-undefined keys that you or the application can bind to useful functions.

Still unconditionally rejects prompts like

Are there any wild populations of Tetanus that lack the dangerous plasmid?

useless

Do you have a solution for auto-merging conflicting changes? Because I think that's the real difference, editing on a laptop and on a desktop before the sync can occur, can cause data-loss (for my potentially naive use of keepassxc anyway).

Its the framing story that implies them committing fraud.

I immediately said yes, even though I wasn't entirely sure. They wanted to play games, so I decided to play along.

The article never says the generated images were used to make a fraudulent claim, but its implied by the juxtaposition.

A few words to indicate that the challenge to break SynthID was for their own amusement would break this implication.

I think as compilers got smarter, UB changed somewhat in meaning. Originally the compilers didn't perform such complex analysis, and while invoking UB could break your program, it would still do something reasonable.

As a counterexample, I've been seeing more "safety rejections" from Claude. Unlike search, being unable to ask _anything_ about botulinum, or details about the recent Copy Fail vulnerability (without giving my fingerprints to Anthropic to become a "verified security researcher") we're only just beginning to see the ways LLM can be used to distort information and its availability.

I don't think it's been co-opted? Mirroring the emotions of another person you're actively observing doesn't give you insight into why they're feeling that way. It's just mirroring, but its an excellent starting point for learning. To have empathy, for people you're not actively observing, or for future states of people you are observing, you have to be able to model them first, and then mirror the emotions that the model predicts, which can then update the model. This loop is empathy, its both "experiencing other's emotions" and "the ability to understand and predict".

Claude Opus 4.7 3 months ago

Tried it, after about 10 messages, Opus 4.7 ceased to be able to recall conversation beyond the initial 10 messages. Super weird.

If you don't provide it a <tree-ish> it reads from the index (staged files). So you're right its not really pointed anywhere, since the index isn't a ref.

IPv4 pricing isn't a good enough reason? If all of my devices had nice ipv6 connectivity I could ditch the public ipv4 addresses, but I have to keep them so that my ipv4-only devices can still reach them.

Its purpose "if you run the software you should be able to inspect and modify that software, and to share those modifications with your peers" not explicitly resist copyright. Yes copyright is bad in that it often prevents one from doing that, but it is not the purpose of the GPL to dismantle copyright.

Reducing it to "well you can clone the proprietary software you're forced to use by LLM" is really missing the soul of the GPL.

yeah, I would rather it did that. You run Claude in a sandbox that restricts visibility to only the files it should know about in the first place. Currently I use a mix of bwrap and syd for filtering.

To wit, if you get to vote for the HOA board but not for the government that can override every decision the HOA makes, are you meaningfully enfranchised?

They're arguing that due to the failure/stalling of the two-state solution, the PA is effectively not a national government. It administers local services, like policing, courts, infrastructure. But it doesn't control borders, tarrifs and duties, or airspace. The Israeli military operates a parallel legal system that can detain and prosecute them, all under a legal framework that they have no vote or say in. I think its fair to call this a kind of disenfranchisement?

The liability exemption is a moving target

good faith effort to comply with this title, taking into consideration available technology and any reasonable technical limitations or outages

could easily be read as meaning "facial recognition technology exists and is available, not using it is a business decision, failure to use it removes the good faith protection".

If the lawmakers didn't intend this, then they didn't need to add all the wiggle words that'll let the courts expand the scope of this law.
