I already described the problem with assuming "the router must know the MTU of the link it's sending it on" implies guaranteed delivery across a switched path a comment higher in the chain:

router A <-> switch E <-> switch C <-> router D

Say router A and switch E have a 9000 byte MTU but switch C has an MTU of 1500 bytes. Router A gets a 12000 byte IP packet and sees to truncate the IP packet to 9000 bytes to be able to egress it to switch E, the designated path to its routed peer D. Switch E accepts this 9000 byte packet and bridges to switch C. Switch C only knows how to accept 1500 byte packets and so drops the 9000 byte packet. No truncated IP packet is ever delivered and the MTU is never learned.

This scenario, and a few others, are already noted in the RFC mentioned in the article https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8899 as problems classically run into when trying to do PMTUD. Your browser based PMTUD test relies on these principles when it sends packets of various size, that's the only foolproof PMTUD method there is - truncating at egress on only routed hops does not provide foolproof IP delivery across the internet so cannot provide foolproof PMTUD.

Even when you can take the liberty to 100% guarantee A, C, E, and D will all support an MTU of 9000 bytes you can't guarantee nowhere else on your path across the internet will have the above issue on their switched paths between routers. Or that your packet won't go through a non-IP protocol tunnel as it goes through the internet and get dropped as too big in that encapsulation. Truncation is only 100% reliable when you're already 100% certain the real physical path across the internet can handle that size, which in practice requires knowing the real dynamic PMTU across multiple parties i.e. having PMTUD already.

The problem with decentralised software is that you don't want to host other people's illegal content. I once tried out zeronet, which downloads the entire decentralised website and anyone can post things to it. Although I have not found CSAM directly on their Reddit equivalent, there are people posting advertisements to zeronet CSAM sites. The idea that I am downloading and automatically redistributing content like that is disturbing and zeronet is dead for a good reason. It's a pool that is asking to be peed in, even if the abusers themselves are a tiny minority.

You’re ignoring the sociopath-technical and accessibility aspects. It has already allowed people to deliver products that they would otherwise require deep expertise (see the recent Galactic Centre app post) or interaction with inaccessible business and professional structures.

Also, we weren’t ready one year ago when all this took off, and the sky still hasn’t fallen yet. It was already incredibly powerful even then, and what obvious adverse effects have come about?
Is it just me or at least half of the answers are so blandly written they seem to be GPT generated?

Take one short statement ("instead of making art, you can make prompts for the model to make arts"). Bury it deep between the four paragraphs of text. Elaborate why the statement is positive or negative. Provide examples from your personal experience. Finish with a conclusion, expressing your own opinion. People don't talk with each other like that, go check Reddit, HN comments, X/Mastodon and figure!

Before advent of GPT, I've seen this particular style of writing only in IELTS essays (where the rules and tasks are, by design, uncanny close to prompting a GPT model) and in r/LinkedinLunatics.
I'm waiting for the panic the first time an AI replaces top management.

Isn't this really good news for artists? When everything you see is generic shit, it will be so much easier for truly creative thoughts, expressed through high quality writing, based on genuine experiences in the real world, to stand out.

Also, this will put pressure on human creativity to produce weirder stuff that can't be produced by simply paraphrasing and remixing known ideas. Mass photography was bad news for the portrait painting industry, but forced painters to think outside known concepts and explore crazy abstract art.

I totally look forward to whatever humans come up with next, that can't be easily generated by a computer program.
> What older people watched out of habit and inability to get their information online

The quality of "news" old people end up finding online isn't any better than on TV.

I know because unfortunately, my parents in their 60's, both with advanced degrees, are now more retarded and brainwashed than ever, by all the nasty shit that gets pushed to them on Facebook, Youtube and Tiktok.

I think those are even worse than the TV, because in the EU what gets shown on TV is at least mildly regulated, but what gets shown to you on social media isn't.
The fact is that machines have already replaced manual labor, just look at the machines and trucks in a mine, a factory or in agriculture. It already happened, one person work is leveraged to replace a thousand.
I did read the article.

Rent only happens when cost is high and supply is constrained. Look at housing. Rent seeking isnt sustainable as compute gets cheaper and cheaper. Access is knowledge, sewing, second hand cars: access is portion of knowledge.
Those same companies often invest in accessibility for vision-impaired users. I'm not sure you need a screen capture to scrape content when the site is designed to be navigable with a screen reader.

I'm on the team working on Pulsar, the community fork of Atom. You have no idea how much we hear "Atom is slow", "are you making it fast?" etc. I have honestly yet to work out exactly what is meant by it. Startup times, sure, you are never going to get Pulsar/Atom or VSCode to launch as fast as a terminal editor or a super lightweight native one but that isn't how I personally use that kind of editor - once it is open it stays open for a long time. Keystrokes, context menus, highlighting performance, I honestly don't see where this perceived slowness is.

I'm not saying it isn't valid criticism but I guess the way I work with an editor just isn't the same as others who experience this.
Not everyone watchs a film for intellectual pursuits, some just want to enjoy a story or relax and unwind.
It was actually much better than that. The 25% is just the VAT. In addition there is a tax on new cars (fossil and hybrid) with elements for weight, emissions, and before 2017 also power. EVs were initially excempt all taxes, meaning you pretty much get more than twice as much car when chosing an EV. Combine that with no charge for EVs on toll roads (which are abundant here), rather expensive fossil fuels and cheap electricity, and you get a lot of EVs on the road. Great for the local environment, maybe not so great for the climate.

> Yes, one could describe the intricacies and complexities of human thought and reasoning as equivalent to prompting a stateless stochastic token matching machine but all that proves is how much of a reach the premise is.

If you ask me, no you cannot do that even if you know you're stretching the limits of that "abstraction". It just doesn't fly even in the wildest theory. Even if an LLM has a world model that could be compared to a human one, the whole underlying nature of experience is completely missing, hence rendering even this narrow comparison extremely wonky.

Otherwise, I like the way you've put it into words though!
I know we all need to think more critically, but existence now throws more situations and decisions at people than the human brain has the ability to deeply ponder and process within a reasonable amount of time. Thus, we either use more primal reactions (like fear) or sum up the decisions in abstractions like profit that aren't nearly the catch-all we pretend they are. That's part of why these technologies are so threatening.
Y tho?
Your own domain helps zero to prevent linking your activity across sites.

Fastmail masked emails + 1Password helps though.
Alpine Linux allows MALICIOUS package maintainers spread rootkits

a package maintianer goes by name "omni" who has special interest in tor and cryptographic packages has been pushing advanced rootkits into packages.

tor package for example uses the same package tor to do communcation

please execerice caution most of his packages are in 'community' repo however some packages are also in 'main'
Or likely the more content you attempt to add, the harder it is to layout. Rather than add logic to do anything about it, just let the layout logic run rampant.
What do you mean by "profitable"?

If you are just trying to datamine for random email addresses, you can do that with a random string generator. If you want a list of Netflix customers accounts, you probably want the same exact email they signed up with.

Besides, you can always make a Gmail rule to junk any emails coming in without a modifier.

I absolutely can because this is a discussion. Being called delusional for sharing my experience on a platform I use _at least_ 40 hours a week was a bit much but in case you missed it, I relented. They brought receipts and I came down from my position because there was none. I wasn't arguing with anyone or saying anyone was wrong about anything.

Do you expect all of your conversations to be backed by facts and citation? Is that why the only comments you make are aggressive and confrontational? Because it's easier than the bar you're setting for everyone else? Yea, I looked back at your history, not a single url.

And now I'm taking a position.

> No worries you’re fine. I guess downtime was much more widespread than I could even imagine.

Is your intent privacy?

I've thought through similar setups, but if the intent is to break cross-platform correlation to a user/device ID and related de-anonymization, I keep coming back to these questions:

- How do I know fastmail doesn't sell data? If every one-time domain is tied to a static fastmail account, and the fastmail account has my real info and sells it, then the obfuscation per-service is moot.

- Google certainly is selling data, and its hard to have an account with them that's totally clean and doesn't need an existing "anchored"/tracked piece of infra to set it up (existing phone number, etc). SO, the VOIP number from Google is once again linked up to my IRL data, and the obfuscation is again moot.

The best I can think of is the theory that a LLC's privacy protections will be stronger than an individual. If I wrap everything in a LLC (phone provider, AWS acc with services like Chime, etc), then the correlation surface areas looks like a random LLC using all these retail services and its delinked from my IRL, assuming AWS/Google don't protect a LLC's data from selling into adtech (and I speculate it might protect it actually).

Well that's why he didn't mention anything about money in the blog outside of "I know comedy makes less money than tech". That wasn't the focus nor takeaway.

And I don't really see how it's a humblebrag. Is recalling your career and accomplishments as you depart a company after 14 years a "humblebrag"? Would it be a humblebrag if he said he was retiring instead? Is having a blog in and of itself that talks about yourself bragging?

Ugh, the guy who thinks "prompt editor" is the job title of the future, and that people in every field will take classes on prompt editing. Gag.

You know, there's no replacement for knowing how to do something yourself. And no, you cannot be as good creatively if you haven't learned a craft. (And no, prompt editing is not a craft any more than ordering food in a restaurant is cooking. Could you even describe in a useful way what was wrong with a soup you were served if you had never learned to cook?)

The iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch had an affordable price when they were launched on the market. Perhaps they weren't the best user experience, but they also didn't cost that much. I would like to know how Apple would have fared if they had asked for $1500 for an iPhone that didn't have 3G connectivity or cut/paste. The Vision Pro is very expensive for the experience it offers and the limitations it has.

Personally, I was mildly bothered by the "single frame of latency" example and _intensely_ bothered by all the higher numbers. It just felt really yuck to use; I would hate to be doing that all day.
