Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but are you saying that you use LLMs as refactoring tools, so things like to move code around, rename stuff, extract functions, and make changes that don’t change the logic?
Or is it something else? Because as far as I know, LLMs are pretty bad at not making random changes, even if told to just reorder stuff, plus we have a lot of deterministic tools for that job, so I guess you probably mean something else. Honest question.
Link, for most of the people in this thread surprised that Proton does what it’s pretty clear in saying they’ll do.
And people getting into trouble for using proton for stuff they are saying not to do.

If you are attempting to leak state secrets (as was the case of Edward Snowden) or going up against a powerful state adversary, email may not be the most secure medium for communications. The Internet is generally not anonymous, and if you are breaking Swiss law, a law-abiding company such as Proton Mail can be legally compelled to log your IP address. A powerful state adversary will also be better positioned to launch one of the attacks described above against you, which may negate the privacy protection provided by Proton Mail. While we can offer more protection and security, we cannot guarantee your safety against a powerful adversary.
I’ve eventually switched from NameCheap to Cloudfare, because they kept drastically raising my email domain price.
Cloudfare is one of the few (not sure if the only one) who has guaranteed wholesale prices (as in, the prices set by the tld owner), with nothing added on top. I moved my domain over, and I saved around 15$ a month.
The best thing to do is buy a domain in some other registrar, like NameCheap, because they will give you the domain for cheaper than wholesale (and then raise your price by a lot in the next few years, way above wholesale). So I just buy it cheap, and once the next renewal is higher than wholesale, I move it over to Cloudfare and keep it there.
This is a really good point.
This post is a great example of what will skipping a research and just trusting the first solution you find lead to.
When you are researching the thing yourself, you usually don’t find the solution immediately. And if you immediately have something that seems to work, you’re even less likely to give up on that idea.
However, even taking this into account (because the same can probably happen even if you do research the thing yourself - jumping to a first solution), I don’t understand how it’s possible that the post doesn’t make a single mention of any remote desktop protocols. I’m struggling to figure out how would you have to phrase your questions/promts/research so that VNC/RDP, you know - the tools made for exactly the problem they are trying to solve - does not comes up even once during your development.
Like, every single search I’ve tried about this problem has immediately led me to RDP/VNC. The only way how I can see the ignorance displayed in the post is that they ignored it on purpose - lacking any real knowledge about the problem they are trying to solve, they simply jumped to “we’ll have a 60 FPS HD stream!”, and their problem statement never was “how to do low-bandwith remote desktop/video sharing”, but “how to stream 60 FPS low-latency desktop”.
It’s mindboggling. I’d love to see the thought and development process that was behind this abomination.
Uh, I’m pretty damn sure I have seen an office with hundreds of people, all connected remotely to workstations, on enterprise network, without any of the problems they are talking about. I’ve worked remotely from a coffee shop Wifi without any lag or issues. What the hell are they going on about? Have they never heard about VNC or RDP?
But our WebSocket streaming layer sits on top of the Moonlight protocol
Oh. I mean, I’m sitting on my own Wifi, one wall between me with a laptop (it is 10 years old, though) and my computer running Sunshite/Moonlight stream, and I run into issues pretty often even on 30FPS stream. It’s made for super low-latency game streaming, that’s expected. It’s extremely wrong tool for the job.
We’re building Helix, an AI platform where autonomous coding agents…
Oh. So that’s why.
Lol.
It’s IMO pretty clear that the purpose of the rule is to rule out AI slop and games that cheapened on artists and replaced them by genAI., which I extremely agree with.
Expeditin is neither. It feels like an (succesful) PR stunt by a lesser known award show not many people knew about.
While there’s no doubt that they have technically break the rules, just the fact that they afaik patched the few textures before this controversy (as far as I know, it’s possible that it was a reaction to this?), this simply sounds like a (very succesful) PR attempt by Indie Game Awards.
There’s no doubt that Clair Obscire isn’t a AI slop that cheapened on artists or art with GenAI, whis is the spirit of the rules IGA has. If you don’t take the rules literaly, they deserve the award. And that’s IMO important.
I’ve never heard about IGA before this, so it worked to draw attention to them.
I’m very OK with having rules in place to reject work where you replaced artists with AI. But this is not the case.
I really thought this is The Onion article.
We’re fucked.
Is there any OS that allows this config?
At least with Linux, if I encrypt my hard drive, I have to enter my encryption password on every login, for some even during boot.
Not sure about Windows. I wpuldn’t be surprised if you can have bitdefender on with auto login.
This holds true for any kind of secure communication you want to do.
Manually handling keys and encryption with GPG is the core of good opsec, and also a reason why 99% of “crime prevention” backdoors are probably not going to do much. But people are lazy, been a while since I saw a drug dealer hand out public GPG keys, ever since Telegram and the like got popular.
To be honest, I saw an article/post about meshtastic, lookes up if it’s active in my city, which it seems to somewhat be (I mean, it has a webpage and like 10 nodes), and decided to give it a try.
It never really occured to me to look up alternatives, first time I’m hearing about Reticulum, will look into it!
And a thermostat for AC is an agentic AI.
I was just looking where to donate to them. The chads aren’t even accepting donations.
There really isn’t a reason not to switch to LibreWolf at this point.
It’s a shame that Mozzila is set on wasting developer time on tools people do not want, and in turn wqsting LibreWolf dev time on removing it.
Aodopting an opt-out model instead of opt-in is also bullshit. You should do opt-in, measure adoption and THEN maybe consider making it default, if it’s high. It probably won’t be. People who don’t care about what their tech does are already using chrome or edge.
I’d be also surprised if it didn’t do stuff like re-enabling itself after updates or some shit.
Internet access and in general communication being crucial during unrests is the reason why I’m currently waiting for parts to set up a few https://meshtastic.org/ nodes for me, my family, and friends that are interested, and get a few devices that I can hand out when it will be needed.
Unless I’m mistaken, this mostly depends on software/os you install.
A RPI with OpenWRT will be secured in exactly the same way as a router with OpenWRT and a laptop with OpenWRT. (At least I think so, I vaguely remember hearing about some Intel CPU vulnerabilities, but I don’t think there’s anything remote).
Power draw will be the main problem, along with more limited range because of the strength of the WiFi card.
I’ve canceled my sub once they announced moving towards AI, and I’m using one of the perpetual licenses I have, i think it’s 2023 or 2024. (In case you don’t know, you can use the version you’ve been subbed to for a year forever even if you unsub).
So far, didn’t have any issues. I only work on Unity games, though, so I don’t really use much features, and I do anything other than C# in LazyVim.
I’m kind of interested how will it go, especially further development and their issue handling.
It doesn’t do anything I need, though.
To add to this excelent answer, one thing that made me really understand and realize quite a lot about how do CPUs actually work, and why is most of the stuff the way it is, was playing through the amazing “Turing Complete” puzzle game.
The premise is simple - you start with basic AND/OR/NOT gates, and slowly build up stuff. You make a NAND, and then can use your design. Then you make a counter, and can use that. The one bit memory. An adder. A multiplexer. All using the component designs you have already done before.
Eventually, you build up to ALU and RAM, until you end up with a working CPU. Later levels even add creating your instruction sets and assembly language, but I never really got far into that part.
It’s a great combination of being a puzzle game - you have clear goals, and everything is pretty approachable and very well paced. I had no idea how is memory done on the circuit level, but the game made me figure it out, or had hints when I got stuck.
And seeing a working CPU that you’ve designed from scratch is pretty cool, but most importantly - even though I’ve had courses on hardware, CPU architecture and the like on college, there’s a lot of stuff I kind of understood, but it never really clicked. This game has helped tremendously in that regard, and it was full of “aha moments” finally connecting a lot of what I know about low-level computing.
I’m not even into puzzle games that much, but this was just a joy to play. It was so fun I sat through it in one session, up until I got to a complete CPU. I very highly recommend it to anyone.
