They do. They also offer to do it when you link your desktop client, and like I said, it works on Linux but gives an error message on Windows.

Also, considering that linking requires access to your existing device I don't see an issue with that. Moxie himself considered usability to be more important than tinfoil hat-level crypto because large-scale adoption is what enables security.

I mean, what does long mean in the grand scheme of things? Is a minute or two long?

I think, no, in a vacuum they are fine, at least up to where I got. But even a short thing can get annoying if you need to do it often enough, which is at least my problem, and apparently also that of other players that don't mind the difficulty.

>Autofill is your primary defense against phishing,

The autofill feature is not 100% reliable for various reasons:

(1) some companies use different domains that are legitimate but don't exactly match the url in the password manager. Troy Hunt, the security expert who runs https://haveibeenpwned.com/ got tricked because he knew autofill is often blank because of legit different domains[1]. His sophisticated knowledge and heuristics of how autofill is implemented -- actually worked against him.

(2) autofill doesn't work because of technical bugs in the plugin, HTML elements detection, interaction/incompatibility with new browser versions, etc. It's a common complaint with all password plugins:

https://www.google.com/search?q=1password+autofill+doesn%27t...

https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/1passw...

https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20a...

... so in the meantime while the autofill is broken, people have to manually copy-paste the password!

The real-world experience of flaky and glitchy autofill distorts the mental decision tree.

Instead of, "hey, the password manager didn't autofill my username/password?!? What's going on--OH SHIT--I'm being phished!" ... it becomes "it didn't autofill in the password (again) so I assume the Rube-Goldberg contraption of pw manager browser plugin + browser version is broken again."

Consider the irony of how password managers not being perfectly reliable causes sophisticated technical minds to become susceptible to social engineering.

In other words, password managers inadvertently create a "Normalization of Deviance" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalization_of_deviance

[1] >Thirdly, the thing that should have saved my bacon was the credentials not auto-filling from 1Password, so why didn't I stop there? Because that's not unusual. There are so many services where you've registered on one domain (and that address is stored in 1Password), then you legitimately log on to a different domain. -- from: https://www.troyhunt.com/a-sneaky-phish-just-grabbed-my-mail...

> which is not working very well

It's actually working great. Gas peakers are expensive to run, but not nearly as expensive and time consuming to deploy as nuclear - you could deploy a solar installation with matching gas capacity and still spend less and have it years earlier than the least expensive, fastest deploying nuclear power plant.

On top of that storage has been undercutting gas lately in terms of cost - especially now that it scaled up.

That is all affecting the economics of nuclear.

For me, it was getting a laptop with a high DPI screen, and the frustrations in getting X to play nicely with that.

There were annoyances when I realised I could no longer use certain workhorses (e.g. feh), but usually a bit of digging turned up a drop-in replacement (e.g. imv).

Hi everyone,

I’ve been building a side project to solve a pain I often had: finding the right academic papers is messy and time-consuming.

The tool I’m working on does three main things:

Lets you search by keywords and instantly see relevant papers.

Organizes results by categories (e.g., Machine Learning, NLP, Computer Vision).

Provides short summaries so you don’t need to open every single PDF.

It’s still an early prototype, but I’d love to hear from you: – Would something like this actually help in your workflow? – What features would you expect or miss? – Any thoughts on how this could be more useful for researchers or students?

I’m also looking for a few early testers who’d get free access.

Note: This is not meant as promotion – I’m really looking for honest feedback to shape the product. Thanks

It looks bizarre to see that Azure Storage support was included. That's because there's no need to use fancy SlateDB+LSM tree code to simulate a block device on Azure Storage, it already natively provides "page blobs" that can be mounted as standard disks and used for boot disks, databases, or whatever. These are used as the backing storage for all Azure virtual machine disks and can also be used directly via the HTTP API. For example, SQL Server can store its database files on page blobs, without having to attach them as disks and formatting them as NTFS volumes.

I'm afraid the Chat Control will pass, sooner or later. The procedure is very simple: reintroduce the bill every other year until the public will not be bothered to hear anymore.

Now, you may think you are the smart one and can always revert to the good old days of OTR[1].

But no, the next thing I can see happening is the smartphone OS conveniently doing client-side scanning of everything on the screen for you. You know, for developers' convenience. And then it's game over: you will not be able to take a look at the Tiananmen Square picture in any installed app.

While it's a larger pause than normal, this actually seems to happen quite a lot when a manufacturer dumps an old EV platform; there was a gap between the Renault Zoe and 5, and between the second and third gen Leaf, say. I assume it's partially for retooling, but also "why not buy this car built on a 15 year old EV platform, btw its replacement is coming out next week" seems like a _very_ hard sell.

My point is that it would be naive to believe that a company whose revenue depends on exploiting user data has internal measures in place to ensure the safe handling of that data. In fact, their actions over the years effectively prove that to not be the case.

So whatever they claim publicly, and probably to their low-level employees, is just marketing to cover their asses and minimize the impact to their bottom line.

It's theoretically possible that your model will work OK except for code generation for security-relevant applications it will introduce subtle pre-designed bugs. Or if used for screening CVs it will prioritize PRC agents through some keyword in hobbies. Or it could promise a bribe to an office worker when asked about some critical infastructure :)

Sending data back could be as simple as responding with embedded image urls that reference external server.

> You thought you made the Secret "single-use", but what you really did was to just encourage someone to keep the unsealed String around and reuse that, because you gave them a Secret type and they needed a String type

In a reasonable development process, one that doesn't abet dangerous mistake-makers, forcing clients to invoke a special method of the Secret class (single use or not) to "unseal" it gives a valuable auditing tool for free: every dangerous situation can be found by a simple search for usages of this method, while a marked string value that contains a secret is undistinguishable from a normal string and can be misused.

It's worth noting that the nuclear power plants of the 1960s follow different scale economics to SMRs. Casey Handmer makes this point in his online interviews and debates. The 1960s plants get their scale benefits from their sheer size. Similar to building a few massive aircraft carriers or massive olympic stadiums, however inefficiently each one is built.

SMRs are more akin to mass manufactured widgets, where the scale benefits come solely from manufacturing efficiencies gained through volume. They'll have a learning rate that governs the price declines for each doubling in production volumes.

From a unit economics POV, it's probably more useful to think of SMRs as a solar/battery-like technology rather than a 1960s nuclear-like technology. The problem for SMR proponents is that solar/batteries have had 50 years of this feedback loop playing out, but SMRs are starting from no volume.

I think you mean stereotypically rainswept. 25m people, >40% of England, live around London where it actually doesn't rain very much at all.

> The UK is one of the rainier places in Europe

Yeah, that includes Wales, Scotland and NI, where it really does rain all the bloody time.

You need the relaxed acceptance to get those cost savings. Every time you determine your small model to be "good enough", it allows the large model to skip one iteration in its recursive decoding loop. You are correct in the sense that you can estimate the probability that the large model would have had for predicting the token(s) that your small model chose, but you don't know which tokens the large model might have predicted based on tokens that the small model did not predict. Unless, of course, your "small" model becomes as precise as the large model, at which point it's not small anymore.

In other words: The speculative decoding causes "holes" in your beam search data. You can fill them by sampling more, increasing hosting costs. Or you fill them with approximations, but that'll skew the results to be more "safe" => more generic, less reasoning.
Nepal Prime Minister Resigns. Parliament / Ministires set on Fire.
by njsubedi | 2025-09-09 09:33:23+00:00
Amidst protests by Gen-Z against yesterday's inhumane killing of 19 student protesters, the country's capital is on fire.

The prime minister of Nepal has resigned, and fleed on an army helicopter - probably abroad. Many other ministers have been evacuated. The parliament building, ministries, and all of the top political parties have been burnt down.

Submitted this because yesterday evening there was a post and many of you were concerned for Nepal.

I'd argue that regulators should have a serious look at the effect of Youtube on that specific market, and if the only solution is the Youtube free tier disappearing I'll be fine with it.

We're in a skewed situation with a near monopoly that only companies at the size of Bytedance can challenge, and I'm not sure why we should see the status quo as something to be protected or encouraged.

I hate ads and avoid them, but haven’t had to install an ad blocker yet. I only really notice them when searching for recipes, and if I had to go through that multiple times a day I probably would get an ad blocker. I do pay for YouTube to avoid ads, and don’t watch much user generated content because it’s too ad-like imo. I quit podcasts 3 years ago, because those ads made them become unlistenable just like terrestrial radio and I just can’t go back to that kind of listening experience. I started listening to audiobooks instead and don’t miss podcasts at all.

Desalinating water requires a lot of energy and equipment. Seawater must be tapped, filtered and passed through membranes in a process called reverse osmosis.

All of this requires lot of electrical power, large pumps, cleaning, corrosion-resistant materials, etc. Desalination is generally the last resort when there are no other options.

It is much simpler, more efficient and less expensive to properly manage freshwater resources, maintain networks, eliminate losses and leaks, etc.

At least in the UK I think you can at a high level map out some system level reasons why this sort of "public realm" problem doesn't get solved:

* the UK's economic growth has been poor since the 2008 financial crisis, so government resources from taxation have similarly not been growing as much as they used to

* demographics (more elderly people) mean that spending on pensions and healthcare has been steadily growing

* so the spending on every other aspect of government and other public-realm type things has been steadily squeezed: there are no resources for improvements on either the big scale or the small

* plus we have (like the US) a setup where many people and organizations have an effective veto or delaying ability on building things (houses, public infrastructure, etc), which makes fixing public infrastructure problems very expensive and time consuming.

As a water-related example of the last point: there's a proposal for a new reservoir near me which is classified as a "nationally significant infrastructure project". The timeline outlined at https://fensreservoir.co.uk/proposals/process/ started in 2022 with "pre-application consultation" in multiple phases, doesn't even submit the formal planning application until 2027, hopes to get a government decision in 2028, will not start construction until 2030 and might finally get the reservoir up and running by 2036 if nothing is delayed. And this doesn't account for the possibility of legal challenges to it which could add extra delay even if they are dismissed.

Mistral's best models are actually not open-source, and the ones that are open are not particularly competitive with other open-source models these days. Their highest ranked open model on LMArena[1] (mistral-small-2506) ranks below: Qwen3, various DeepSeek models, Kimi K2, GLM 4.5, Gemma, GPT OSS, etc.

All those things you listed as part of that story pretty much apply to any open model, so it's kinda a shite list if you want to be differentiated.

There are concerns besides spying if you really don't trust the source of an open model. One is that the training incorporates a bias (added data or data omission) that might not be immediately apparent but can affect you in a critical situation. Another is vendor lock-in, if you end up depending on specifics of the model that make it harder to swap later.

That's true regardless of the source, of course.

Then you probably have over a dozen CVEs in your code. Now, this is a different question whether they are exploitable and how much it is a risk.

Other than that you now probably have an insurmountable technical debt and upgrading the dependencies is a project of itself.

All the above applies to JavaScript world, of course. It's much different for the rest.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is changing how AI models interact with the world. It already lets LLMs use tools like Slack or file storage, but its real potential for payments is just emerging.

Imagine this: you upload an invoice to Claude, and the payment is completed automatically, involving no dashboards, no integrations, no manual steps. Or let’s say you own a bakery and you get an order on WhatsApp. You ask our Cashfree WhatsApp assistant, “Get me the order link of ₹500 for Red Velvet Cake,” and it immediately shares the payment link in the chat.

At Cashfree Payments, we have built an MCP server on top of our APIs. Integrating this allows LLMs to create payment links, process refunds, track settlements, and initiate payouts through natural language. We’ve also developed real-world applications, such as a WhatsApp payment assistant, that integrate AI-powered payments into everyday conversations.

Agreed. As I recall the way notifications work on Signal/WhatsApp is the app receives some silent notification that wakes it up, then the app does its crypto thing, and then it locally triggers the notification with the decrypted content you see. In iOS land your app needs a special entitlement to work this way. It also means if you're on very heavy group chats your battery will drain faster.

If WhatsApp central servers could push a notification to your phone that contained your actual message content, it couldn't be E2EE.

They're useful to let you not have to think about positioning windows with precision.

If that doesn't feel useful to you, then maybe a tiling wm isn't right for you. That's entirely fine.

My wm has an "escape" in that I can define floating desktops, and by default I have one, mostly used for file management, because there are things where I agree it's better to have floating/overlapping windows.

It doesn't really matter if it's a "waste of space" - I have two large monitors, and 10 virtual desktops to spread windows between (I'd add more, but I haven't felt the need). To the point where my setup, by default, centers the window with large margins when I have just one window open on a screen because it's more comfortable (and I'm just one keypress away from fullscreening the app anyway).

Most of the time I use tiling because I like not having to care about the layout beyond those defaults.

But I can also configure specific layouts. E.g. I have desktop dedicated to my todo list, a list of done items, and notes, and it has a fixed layout that ensures those windows are always in the same placement, on the same desktop.

Social media without being a social media platform. I wanted to be able to share aesthetic notes/posts/audio without social media intermediaries. PDFs are never made for phone screen views... so I implemented .NoteSub file creation in app and sharing so that you can send notes to be seen as good as they were designed via whatever sharing method you use.

Also, it is free to download and use for every feature apart from an IAP for iOS sync.

I never understood those ridiculous prices for artworks that look like poop. "Here's a few random splashes of yellow paint on red background, €300 000 please". I used to think that maybe I'm just too stupid to understand the truly fine art, but no, it's all just speculation and dick measuring contest for people with too much money.

I just finished decorating my living room. Majority are prints of pictures that I found on the internet and then pushed through an AI upscaler, which means the costs are equal to the printing service and they look amazing. Two pieces have been commissioned, and total cost of both of them with printing is below a thousand. Just recently I saw a beautiful painting in a gallery and it cost me a thousand. Art doesn't need to be expensive to be beautiful.

That's just England though. Scotland has 70 people per km^2. Water is also "free". Free as in, it's part of your council tax and all water is nationalised. You do not buy it from a private company.

I would prefer it was metered so companies that use a lot of water are charged commensurately. Council tax in itself is a regressive tax, so adding water charges to that makes things worse.
