>Hanlon's Razor

Sorry, but drive-by philosophy is not applicable here.

YouTube developers single out adblocker users and taunt them with an "Experiencing interruptions" toast prompt that locks the video stream for ~5 seconds. Curiously, it contains a link to the YouTube Help Center, to the section fragment "#check_ad_blockers". In other words: "yeah, we know you've got uBlock Origin enabled, enjoy the speedbump".

Player base.js:

api.XL("innertubeCommand",{openPopupAction:{popup:{notificationActionRenderer:{responseText:{runs:[{text:"Experiencing interruptions?"}]},actionButton:{buttonRenderer:{style:"STYLE_OVERLAY",size:"SIZE_DEFAULT", text:{runs:[{text:"Find out why"}]},navigationEndpoint:{commandMetadata:{webCommandMetadata:{url:"https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/3037019#check_ad_blockers

Your "crazy" proposition is exactly the reality at many companies: the work computer is increasingly isolated from the Internet. At my last employer their game plan for employees was to move the whole web to a whitelist approach - if you want to browse the web freely, use your personal computer or personal phone.

So most of us carted around a work laptop (connected to corp WiFi) a personal laptop (on guest WiFi or tethered) a work phone and a personal phone.

In other news, you should never ever MDM enroll your personal phone with a work BYOD policy.

India wasn't dragged into intrigue by Japan. India was blockaded by China BECAUSE Japan (and South Korea) are working on building an ExChina supply chain for REE processing within India, and becuase Taiwan has begun moving it's dual use ESM chain to India [0][1]. A lot of India-Taiwan military collaboration is occuring at IIT Ropar [2], which has become a de facto hub for Indian defense tech [3] (most of their "AI" research is tracking and C-UAS applications). Essentially, India is viewed by China as a potential competitor that needs to be nipped in the bud [5].

The Japanese government, Toyota, and the Indian government began a REE joint venture back in 2009 called Toyotsu Rare Earths India Ltd [4] that dramatically expanded after China started a trade war with Japan over the Senkaku Diaoyu islands in 2012.

> That’s pretty big news if true

It has been in Japan and India for months now. This is why the Indian government began a massive processing campaign over the past 1-2 years with Japanese and Korean involvement, along with a push for EESM mass production.

It is astonishing that the word “privacy” appears zero times in this announcement. There have been repeated controversies over exactly how Google sees just the URL I visit. Now they want to see the entire contents of multiple browser tabs?

And yet my healthcare company's IT department insists everyone only use Chrome on work computers.

I've been bringing up the HIPAA implications of that for years, but people just look at me like I asked the dog to do algebra. All the IT department cares about is that Chrome is free.

Under capitialism, why would anyone think that this is anything but expected.

These living communities are meant to house you, until you die, for a price. You have saved up money to pay for that service until you die. Why would they leave money on the table? Why would they spend any extra on someone who's "going to die anyway". Someone who is barely ambulatory; who has few outside connections.

It's the horrible result of end stage capitalism, but it's hardly unexpected.

1.02**17 = 1.400..., whereas 1.02**35 = 1.99...

At 2% inflation prices increase by 40% every 17 years, and it takes 35 years for them to double. At 3% (closer to real inflation), prices would double every 23 years: 1.03**23 = 1.97...
How are you securing your GenAI apps from malicious prompts?
by letters_digits | 2025-09-19 14:23:03+00:00
We’ve been struggling with prompt injection security in GenAI app. So I’m curious how others are approaching this?

In our case, tools like LlamaFirewall were helpful, but they didn’t scale into real workflows — we missed having a “Detection as Code” approach, being able to reuse existing detection rules and align with frameworks like MITRE ATLAS or the OWASP LLM Top 10.

So we hacked together an open-source framework (AIDR-Bastion). It’s not perfect, but it lets us test ideas faster: multiple detection pipelines mixing rule-based checks, ML models, vector similarity and classifiers, with Sigma & Roota rule support and some basic integration for classification and logging. It can run as a local logging sensor and perform allow/block/notify actions based on rules.

This works well enough for us, but GenAI security isn’t our core business, so we open-sourced it to see if the community could take it further. Right now we’re experimenting with API rule sync, Apache Kafka streaming, and broader rule support (NOVA, YARA-L).

I’ve been in security for 20+ years (programmer → security admin → auditor → now CISO), but open source is new territory for me — so I’d love feedback: - How are you securing GenAI systems in your environment? - What’s worked (or not) for you?

We open-sourced it here if anyone wants to take a look or contribute: https://github.com/0xAIDR/AIDR-Bastion

In Illinois, how property is valued and taxed seems pretty obscure, and may involve witchcraft.

The rate on my tax bill is 6.03%. But that's on a "net taxable value" that's about 40% of what I paid for the place 15 years ago, and maybe 25% of what I could get for the place now. So the rate is effectively 2.5% of what I paid, or 1.4% of what I could get. The total tax has also gone up 26% since 2020, increasing by more each year, but I don't know whether they've raised the rate each year or the valuation.

It's probably possible to find out how it works, but there's not much point. It is what it is, so you pay it or leave. No one lives in Illinois for the tax rates.

Thanks for laying this out — I share your priorities on minimal boilerplate and a buildless-first workflow. dagger.js is designed around that: no bundler by default, just HTML + JS modules, so most code stays reusable outside the framework.

On syntax: you’re right that +/* aren’t XML/XHTML-friendly. The short, stackable directives were chosen for ergonomics, but I’m considering offering a dg-* variant to improve standards compliance where XML/XHTML interoperability matters.

Appreciate the push here — keeping the buildless path the default while tightening standards compliance is exactly where I want to take dagger.js next.

Indeed. When I entered "grandma's cookies" into the shared family instance is 'mealie' I was sure to include a copy of the "original" index card. (surely a copy) https://imgur.com/KMSuUhz

That card was has several fun comments and lots of history to my siblings who added to the crustiness of this card.

The original card I remember said to use lard or you can use margarine if you "haven't slaughtered a hog recently".

The recipe in mealie was modernized and tested more.

A map is a flat, visual representation of an area, showing its features and locations using symbols and drawings. The system of reference can change, like magnetism and north, and the map still functions as a map.

A drinking mug is a large, cylindrical cup with a handle, typically made of earthenware, used to hold hot beverages like coffee or tea. The orientation relative to gravity is fundamental to the functioning of the mug. It is not arbitrary.

There is no point discussing with you, you twist every argument around - "...payments are settled in a few minutes and the user gets fast notification of incoming transaction." is not even contrary to what I wrote, you repeated my point. Minutes to clear a transaction vs. a second (sometimes a couple of seconds) is not even close to comparable. Anyway, I am out of this thread.

I think the point is that when one believes that having their desires fulfilled will bring them happiness, or an end to desire itsself, that the material circumstances in which that person lives are completely irrelevant. In the case of the wife, the suffering she experiences from not having her desires fulfilled is the same whether she is living in a filthy shack or whether she is god. Her internal state is identical in both situations, so her becoming god and her becoming a poor fisherman's wife are exactly the same from a phenomonological perspective. The same could be said for the man. His satisfaction was the same whether he was living in the shack or the palace. What changed for him was the burden of having these material things and asking for more, knowing it wouldn't ultimately make him or his wife happy.

Or it could mean that due to the transient nature of all material things, anything gained will invariably break down eventually. All desire leads to loss.

Maybe it's both. I think it's both.

It's not really an easy answer as (1) it doesn't stop phishing attacks hitting work emails so isn't really relevant anyway, (2) most people, executives especially, don't want to cart multiple devices around, which is why we now have to deal with the security nightmare that is supporting work stuff on BYOD phones, (3) I don't work for a SV company with the budget to buy everyone two laptops, and if we did, honestly I think most people would prefer a better single laptop than two mediocre ones. Besides, most people just treat their phone as their personal portable device now. The odd person brings their own laptop.

Developers are the exception here, where usually they'd prefer to develop on a machine with minimal BS running, even if it means carrying around an ultraportable in addition to their development workstation laptop.

Because it's a waste of money, space, effort, and nature as well as an unreliable backup that gives you a false sense of security. As well as a good way to leak information.

But yes, keeping the cards for a while and rotating a large pool can be a good approach. When they're in actual reliable ro-at-rest, checksummed, possibly encrypted, offline backup, the cards can be reused. (Always format in device etc.)

That's not plausible.

If someone sees, oh YouTube is making my computer hot, the last thing that's going to occur to them is, "wait let me try turning off my adblocker."

When corporations try to change people's incentives, they are obvious about it, so people know what to change.

In contrast, changing CPU usage on video playback for people who use adblockers and then not telling anyone is... just not a strategy that makes any sense at all.

And why would anyone do something good for someone else without an ulterior motive? Do you think people donate to charity because they are good or because they want to seem good? I met people IRL who acted "nice" except they were also aware they were being perceived as "nice" and explicitly called themselves "nice," wouldn't you agree this is hypocritical?

Ok cool.

But whats the vision of this? Where are they trying to take the customer?

I feel like this issue relates back to the origin of Google (search) in the first place. It was borne out of a technology in which the founders did not envision what it would become. It seems the firm just tries ideas and then tries to figure out where it goes - thats the culture. And unsurprisingly, yields a lot of failiures.

In contrast, Apples approach yields a much higher rate of success with less risk.

I listened to Planet Money from NPR in August[0] where it claimed that inflation was based on feeling rather than data. The summary was that groceries are not a good measure of inflation since they're seasonal and the best way to buy groceries was the same as dollar cost averaging investment - buy the groceries when you need them and the prices will average out.

it's not really the same as putting snippets of media in a youtube video... the internet archive has, loosely, three categories of stuff:

* out of copyright (totally legal)

* copyright but abandoned (not legal but nobody cares and is good for society)

* copyright and actively being sold right now (not legal and huge exposure to lawsuits)

modern pop media movies, books, audio are not uploaded to the internet archive in their entirety under any kind of fair use unless you're a copyright abolitionist taking a very expansive view on the term

Do you have an iGPU+dGPU combo like in a gaming laptop? For my 2019 gaming laptop with a i915+RTX2060, if I leave the switchable option on in the hardware settings (meaning the OS can choose which GPU to use ie. iGPU for low power), I end up with similar behavior in Linux/Win10. The external port actually uses the dGPU so rendering must go through it but it will struggle with the switchable option and I end up with freezing or stutters. In Linux, I explicitly configure Xorg to only use the iGPU and reserve the dGPU for model inference which fixes the stuttering issue. When booting into Win10, I explicitly disable the iGPU and turn off the external monitor so my VR playing doesn't stutter or youtube doesn't freeze or stutter.

Grief is a very difficult emotion and I like the analogy of it being a deep ocean. When you experience profound grief you are dropped almost immediately into that ocean. If it is your rodeo with grief you don’t know how to swim. You don’t know where you are. You are in an endless night of depth. You may not even know you are in the ocean at first. Your brain is simply drowning. Some constant in the mind’s universe has changed. Abruptly.

I don’t believe, completely in the narrative of American men not taking stuff out, but it is a factor. The underlying issue for not talking stuff out is ensuring you feel understood. That you are not alone in this experience. That grief is okay, normal. That you have been taught a life philosophy that encompasses grief. That it can exist without consuming all. It helps anchor these powerful emotions. There are other ways to achieve this, everyone will have their own strategies. I do think you have to have a philosophy and process to handle grief however you do it.

I believe in acknowledging grief and practicing Stoic style thinking to stay present. It really helps me to acknowledge the moment is precious. Wrenching on a car with a buddy. Sitting at the dinner table with your family. Acknowledge how special that is. That it won’t last forever. Cannot. Tell them and yourself how special it is. Visualize life without that moment anymore. Bring a little grief to the every day and present as a part of our human condition. It is okay! It is not spoiling the moment if you are using that emotion to fully experience the present.

Grief as many people experience and process it is almost always the past. Even simply acknowledging it as the powerful force in our mind can help tame it. Observe the grief so to speak, see it as an observer. I am glad you found your way. Everyone should think about grief and talk about it. Just part of us.

You call his analysis "shallow," but you are the one cherry-picking isolated facts from a deep and bloody history of Zionist terrorism. Let's look at the supposedly "complex" reality you're trying to whitewash.

You mention Begin's peace with Egypt. That was not about "peace" but a cynical, strategic move that took the biggest Arab army off the board so Zionists could invade Lebanon and accelerate the violent colonization of the West Bank.

Then you mention the Likud removing settlements from Gaza. That was Ariel Sharon's unilateral plan to turn Gaza into an open-air prison and, in the documented words of his own top advisor, "freeze the peace process indefinitely."[0]

These are not rejections of the Irgun's ideology. They are its most cunning applications. And your claim that the Dahiya Doctrine is "anachronistic" is nonsense, even Biden had the honesty to admit it when he recognized it.[1] It is the modern, state-sanctioned culmination of the Irgun's terrorist philosophy of collective punishment. Their ideology didn't vanish, it just became Israeli state policy. The only complexity in that is your attempt to whitewash it. It's a straight line, and you are deliberately trying to obscure it.

My grocery store makes this really tedious because they don't have a feature to sort by price per pound. So I have a stupid ritual where I ctrl-F "($0." and repeatedly ctrl-G to see all the apples under $1/pound. Then I do it again with ctrl-F "($1." to see the ones in the $1-$2/pound price range. And there are several other products with similar annoying processes.

If an AI could just do that for me, it would save me time.

I just look at the flyers that come in the Sunday newspaper. Problem solved in under 30 seconds with near-zero effort.

Cheaper than an AI subscription, too.

I think the best non-governmental solution to handling private equity is to take money out of equities and to put it into precious metals and cryptocurrency. In effect it is to take money out of the private-equity controlled dollar system, devaluing their equities. Unfortunately for now, mutual funds, which hold a lot of retirement funds, probably don't support those alternative assets yet.

> We want to express our deep gratitude to the many cohorts of maintainers who have contributed to Bundler and RubyGems over the past two decades. Ruby tooling would not be what it is today without their dedication and leadership. Their work laid much of the foundation we are building on today, and we are committed to carrying that legacy forward with the same spirit of *openness and collaboration*

- The bolded part doesn’t track with locking out the entire team without notice or explanation.

- “Thanks for the hard work, the adults will take it from here” rarely works out.

Reminds me of the one-button Amazon magnets that you'd stick to the refrigerator.

Press the "Gatorade" button, and Gatorade shows up at the front door the next day. Except that it might cost you $2.49, or it might cost $12.88. There was no way of knowing beforehand.

(Those things were awesome tech, BTW. You'd program it with your phone via the equivalent of an acoustic modem.)

I think the West Wing clip highlights how out of date the thinking in the article is. When this clip was filmed, turn by turn navigation didn't exist yet. If the average person saw a map, it had north at the top. By contrast, these days, if I see a map, the direction I'm currently going is normally up. I don't find it freaky for maps to be oriented with north down because I see a map like that every time I drive south in my car.

I think the fear from Ruby Central might have been that, had they communicated openly, a maintainer/community member with admin access could do their own hostile take-over, and that that would expose Ruby Central to some legal liability, if not a complete loss of control.

I'm not in a position where I'd have to make a decision like this, and I don't have all the information, but I like to think that if I had made a decision like this, I'd show some more respect in the aftermath.

Something more akin to: "That was really awful, I'm sorry. We were suddenly faced with the severity of our legal exposure and had to immediately lock everything down. It's not a reflection of trust or anything, it was legally what had to be done. Now that we've taken stock and are now squared away, we have to make a more explicit controls framework, and we hope we can make it up to you, make this right, and have you lead as a maintainer again."

...Then again, maybe this wasn't about legal exposure. Or maybe it was and former contributors/maintainers are getting apologetic emails right now...

Because it fit when the classification originated and has never asked to be reclassified. South Korea was also considered a developing country and was cast as the global South back in the early days, but diplomatically and through its membership in the OECD became a developed/Global North country. If Singapore is offended it can ask UNCTAD and get reassigned.

Ultimately it largely doesn't even matter. It's a casual shorthand that in the overwhelming majority of cases is an accurate split between developed and developing/poorer countries. Some tiny city-state counterpoint isn't really convincing. Orgs like UNCTAD use it to high-level report on progress in lifting up developing nations.

As to alliances, ignoring that you're completely backtracking on your original post regarding that (you know the one where Australia is actual pals with all its neighbours and the N/S thing is a big lie), for obvious reasons the world's most prosperous countries tend to have common interests. Not to mention that a number of countries with a shared history (e.g. the commonwealth and the colonies) ended up being some of the richest countries.

Everyone in here jumping to the conclusion that if you say something against the PR shit deno has done. To instantly sucking off Oracle and burning JavaScript flags in the garden. They literally brought it on to themselves and now they want you to pay for it. It's "the last chance" because they made it the last chance. That should be thing discussed in here. A company abusing their reach (60k for the petition) pretending to be guarding the community (millions) while forcing it's hand and also extorting it for money.
