The spec has issues due to usual RFC bullshit and corporate greed, but as per usual the viewpoint here is too narrow. I’m running my own open source authentication stack and choose what attestations are acceptable, say only allow the FIPS version of Yubikeys. That feature exists because companies want to be able to control which methods they consider secure enough for their own employees. This tech was built for corporate security, using it externally facing with end-users is a bolted on after the fact idea. Having control is necessary, it does not make the spec evil.
Now say GitHub enable attestations that only allow Windows Hello passkeys to go through, then yes that’s technically possible. It would also be a support nightmare so they won’t. (It’s already a support nightmare for anyone limiting devices since for example security key vendors regularly forget to publish their fingerprints for new products.)
The whole biometrics thing? Total red herring. UV can be enabled in many different ways and totally “faked” as well, which is what all the software implementations do such as Bitwarden. Only way to stop it is approvelisting specific devices, see point above.
There’s also the ADHD DLC variant of: I put it down wherever I suddenly completely context swapped to something that needed my hands free and have no idea what I was previously doing, what I had in my hands and where it might now be.
I feel like you’re missing the point a bit. Living by values you hold dear is not losing, winning or even necessarily a cause. If your values happen to align with a cause, then supporting it in a way you can is at least somewhat fulfilling.
Now, there are definitely people who join a cause for tangential reasons. For example because they are a vehicle to what they want, such as someone who wants to build and use explosives can just as easily become a fundamentalist, anarchist or fascist. (And history has examples of these sordid folks.) They barely care about any of the causes and will drift wherever they can live by their own values, even if it’s about blowing shit up.
Could be they only allow you to see the ones having a good day and following orders. I have a vague recollection of some backstage scandals hastening the ban in Finland. Turns out humans aren’t that great at taking care of the needs of complex beings.
Atuin (by @[email protected]) makes the history storage and management side much easier and portable, but could perhaps use a “smite mode” to make deletion interactively easier. The current interactive implementation prioritizes safety over expediency which is fine, but a “today I clean things” option could perhaps instead prioritize the other way around and enable one key delete w/ undo instead.


The thing is though that the entire concept of LLMs is on purpose to be bias machines ingested from the collective cesspool of humanity. Thus even absent deliberate system prompts, they whitewash the various biases to seem neutral because obviously this non-human entity is not troubled by human concerns.


Slackware still exists, if they survive they’ll be nigh immortal.


Large team? Yes. hundreds of millions in operating budget per year? No.

Ignoring the subject matter, that’s a terrible LLM slop article. Odd phrasing and extra words like Zanonical all around. Just a wholly unreliable source for anything if they allow that on their platform.
Faulty .ru instead of \.ru regex ban somewhere? Hopefully it’s not that, but would be funny.
Picked up a “Electrolux Pure D8.2 Silence PD82-Animal” model last year and it’s been pretty awesome. If you check the tech specs the noise level is really low (and actually delivers on the promise) but still has a much higher suction force than anything I’ve had before. The rotating hair removal accessory is crap though (not powered so just not comparable to a model that is), so no need for the animal version if price for other versions is better. Seems to still be on the market but stock limited as everything these days.
You could look into using esp32’s for it. There’s variants with copper ethernet and people have used them before to both act as voice assistant mics and to play back audio with Home Assistant. Real time stream audio reproduction might be too much for them but it’s worth a spelunk if anyone has already gotten close enough.


Off the top of my head, it makes it desirable to cook the stats to get money, whether by banning abortion or simply prioritizing births vs children. Every funding metric is gamed, that’s why there’s arcane rules to enact change by hoping for a certain game strategy. In this case every strategy leads to misery.


Paraphrasing from a recent episode of Behind the Bastards on the Vioxx scandal: There’s a lot of recency bias in humans where it’s difficult to look past the fuckups of the pharma industry. If their “current” MO is to make a shit ton of money at the cost of human lives, then why would someone with lesser critical thinking skills trust them? One needs quite a bit more faculties to separate the capitalism from the good they are doing and tell apart what’s trustworthy and what not.
So pharma fucked their bed spectacularly and aren’t doing fuck all to restore trust. And that’s very sad considering how important they could be if they wanted to.
Seems that in the latest prerelease builds that is indeed true, even checkboxes work now.
Critically you can’t share to specific accounts, it’s private, completely public or all registered users. Also, sharing is read-only, no collaboration allowed. So sharing sort of yes, but no collaboration say on a shopping list.
Yeah, this is the problem in that the definitions vary between “inclusive of trans women and NB” to “NB leaning on fem” and all the way to “any trans identity that wants to include feminity”. In the end though it might not matter since more inclusive is better and CWs are encouraged anyway for touchy topics.
Totally get that, many practical reasons! I’d vote for including it in the name as well. I did check the sidebar but managed to miss that.
Ah yes and christian values == good, communism == bad just comes naturally with that? Or perhaps it’s both right and american bullshit arrogance all at the same time.
