it's cloying how people (individuals and SMEs) forget that in the present time in vast part of the world we have FTTH with enough bandwidth and low enough ping that's MUCH better than a cheap VPS or someone else server. The only needed thing is a fixed IP, witch is pretty available anyway.

A homeserver is much cheaper, not less monitored, much powerful and much more flexible than living on someone else computer. Since IPv6 it's not an option but a need, it's about time to IMPOSE a public global per host to any ISP, without clauses to avoid legally hosting a server because hey, that's how internet work, it's not a damn mainframe.
Imagine how many careers have been built on inventing and promoting something, in the end, turned out to be a cleverly encoded output from /dev/urandom.

Maybe hijack the key and message before it gets distributed. Or just get after the pieces themselves if they are from Chinese or Russian authorities. Or just threaten to close the local data center if they do not collect the pieces from elsewhere, see if they can be convinced to hand over what they have, regardless where they put it.

We can be null in cryptography, but handing over both the secret and the key to this secret to the very same person is quite a trustful step, even when they say 'I promise I will not peek or let others peek, pinky promise!' - with an 'except if we have to or if we change our mind' in the small prints or between the lines.
Aced what? I’m missing context it seems.
Yeah, good question. You could ask the same question for today's or near future coding LLMs used by non programmers.
hmm gee setting up shell companies to avoid government subpoenas probably is not good at collaborating that narrative.
The university has a choice to not force such things. There are open source alternatives such as openstax. There's little reason to force students to buy expensive textbooks.
That’s a relatively new phenomenon, and not uncontroversial.
Knowing someone's phone number is enough to potentially compromise it. Sophisticated methods can involve zero-click attacks, where just sending you an SMS that you won’t even see can lead to a compromised device. You can check how Tucker got his Signal conversation exposed.

Matrix is far better in terms of security than Signal, but Matrix is far behind compared to Telegram features.
I'm confused. Goodreads does in fact let you sort books by rating?
Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.

Why do I bring that line of reasoning up? Because an actually exhaustive traversal of 2nd-6th order effects renders everyone complicit in something, especially in the presence of things criminalizing not looking for things.

You should never count yourself out of being a complicit party for something, and realize that if you're going to impose a penalty on a group you consider a "them"; it is likely only a matter of time invested enumerating your effects in the world to make evident something they did has been enabled by you. Even if only by you not making the choice to do something about them.

Bad things will happen. We can't prevent them all. And trying to zero any class of bad thing has so many onock on effects, that even the most trivial sounding solutions need be met with strictest scritiny to figure out what they will break.

"LLM is not for me" sounds right. But, if you want to use LLM to avoid building the tedious parts of a project like the user interface, APIs, etc., and decide to code your algorithms the old-fashioned way, that's fine too.
I've built anthropic.actionschema.com today give it a try!
Good lawyers won’t make much difference for him as the French government is tired of not being able to look at all our conversations. They want to start scaring people into compliance and verifying all their actions with the government or at least scaring the companies providing a (semi) private experience. This is mostly like just phase 1 of getting the keys that open up telegram servers to 5 eyes by getting Durov under their thumbscrews.
That is is true, the complete "Metropol-Region Hamburg" has a total population of around 3mil. Not sure how it was in the 50ties. There are also a lot of commuters coming from the suburbs to the city center every day. Mostly by train and also car of course. IMHO the train must be even more expanded and improved. But of course not everybody is commuting. There is also a lot of work in the suburbs itself available. Those are mostly smaller cities with its very own life.
Yes, almost all websites give the filter "square footage" at a measly 1 air change per hour. So essentially they take the CADR, divide it by the (assumed) height of the room, and that's the square footage or square meters. Very flawed methodology!

Typically for respiratory pathogens you want to shoot for 6+ ACH, so as a very rough initial guess I often simply divide the rated area by 10.

And yes, every manufacturer only gives specs for the highest fan setting. This is misleading because typically this fan setting is very loud, so few people actually run it 24/7 (and those who do will probably suffer hearing loss).
You just know a PA is going to slip this comment into some C-suites memo tomorrow morning.

> if you have to reason about how the operator will handle legal threats, you shouldn't bother reasoning about the messenger at all.

That's true.

You need to run your own platform people. XMPP is plenty simple, plenty powerful, and plenty safe -- and even your metadata is in your control.

Just self host. There's no excuse in 2024.

Wake up people!

Why should the arrest of someone else affect YOU?
Clearly the investigating authorities are not buying that argument because, well,
it's completely absurd. Both technically and legally, Telegram are in control of those keys, regardless of where they are hosted.
Have the room owner create an AES 256 key, send it to all Party members via 1:1 e2ee, encrypt room messages with that AES key.
Size isn't the only consideration though. Latency is pretty much a fixed cost for web resources, and caching is very beneficial if your edge cache is closer to the user than the origin server (and it is, unless you're very unlucky).
There are chrome (and firefox) extensions such as Full Text Tabs Forever [1] that offers some of the functinos you describe

I respect someone who downvotes and explains why.

I wish the downvote button would require at least a private message to the person of why they are being downvoted. (Upvote could have an optional message).

Otherwise it's the most toxic feature on HN as it promotes extreme groupthink activism.
As far as I see there was no criticism targeted at anything else than the encryption part.
There is a book "La Centrale" by Elisabeth Filhol that describes the nuclear industry in France, it was a horrifying read. It is indeed not a fun industry to work in.

EDIT: seems it is available in French, German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish but can't find it in english. That is kind of sad.
No. What would be illogical is to assume that because Russia might be motivated to protest for the sake of propaganda, that it is not also, or instead, motivated by not wanting to lose access to a hypothetical backdoor.
of course always better to make the code more efficient. But honestly it isnt very complex to have a CDN for static content
Anything government related takes an ungodly amount of time to do any small thing. It is part of how we keep checks and balances. Defcon no doubt found exploits on some voting machine or sattelite provider, but due to how complex the government is it will take time to fix these issues.
What do web3 and crypto moneys have anything to do with the discussion?

Decentralized protocols have existed for a very long time. Email have existed since the 70s. Telephone is also arguably decentralized and have existed for even longer.
Arguably WhatsApp's protocol scales reasonably well (nice description in this survey paper: [1]), at least well enough for maximum WhatsApp group sizes (times up to four devices per participant).

It's lore. Superman is also cool-looking and the whole story around it just adds depth; no one thinks it's real.

Information warfare is a real thing, and if you're suggesting governments shouldn't react to it - on the basis that doing so would fall under 'the old enemy of the people argument' - then what you're actually contending is that governments should neglect national defence.
Your point is valid. We cannot reason about events based on intentions. We must reason based on capabilities, and on actions.
Although I am currently 16 and the summer vacation is coming to an end, I have made big progress during these few weeks. My mission was to build an app with the help of the Flutter framework, and I have succeeded!

The app's website is vid-note.com, if you would like to check it out. The value of the app is that one no longer has to watch endless videos but can find exactly what one needs about a certain topic within the notes that we offer. What is good to know is that most of the notes are centered around business and self-improvement for the reason that we, the founders, are interested in these topics. We understand that many would advise us to let an LLM write the notes, but for this project, we have decided to sway away from the flawed results that LLMs bring with them.

This is the first venture my business partner and I have decided to pursue, and we look forward to finding out if we must pivot or preserve. For those wondering, the app has been approved for external testing on the App Store, but we have decided not to make the jump yet, simply because we still have to handcraft a few notes ;). We predict that a release on the Play Store will soon follow. Cheers.
In theory this makes sense, but reviews all suggested that the price proposition for the APUs didn't really work and now AMD has released a laptop part that fills the same niche. DIY folks won't be able to get their hands on the laptop part right away but presumably soon? It just seems kind of odd to release something that outperforms your own product in the same segment.
I don't, and I also haven't learned Rust.

My experience with arena allocators comes from Bloomberg's C++ libraries[1].
For example, here's the documentation[2] for a thread safe heterogeneous allocator and header[3] for the underlying thread safe pool.

It uses a mutex, but at a glance only when it needs to consult the fallback allocator (which could involve a system call). If you knew that the fallback allocator were a pre-allocated arena, maybe you could do with atomics only. The free list is already lock-free, and so too could be the block list.

> you can install a reproducible build of Telegram and be sure it's end-to-end encrypting things.

This is incorrect. The construction for group chats in Telegram is not e2e at all. The construction for dm’s is considered dubious by many cryptographers.

It does not matter if you can reproduce a non-e2e encrypted message scheme, you must still trust the servers which you have no visibility on.

Trustworthy e2e is table stakes for this for that reason. Reproducible builds aren’t because we can evaluate a bunch of different builds collected in the wild and detect differences in implementation. This is the same thing we’d do if reproducible builds were in effect.

There are lots of reasons splitting jurisdictions makes sense but you wrote a whole bunch of words that fall back to “hope Telegram doesn’t change their protections in the face of governmental violence”.
That might be true for American English. LLMs are bad in my language and can not produce long texts without obvious mistakes just yet.
Therapists don't diagnose, psychiatists do.
>This seems like the Kim Dotcom situation again.

At least Kim Dotcom earings and the main utility of the service was indeed based on pirated content. Telegram is huge news/chat/etc app, where the things the mention as "enabling" as totally marginal and coincidental, more like arresting a property owner that owns half of the city because some people sold drugs in a few of the apartments.
Your argument is a false dichotomy and thus a logical fallacy. Not all steps forward in abstraction or code generation are necessary good steps and have to be considered on their own merits. If LLMs are indeed superior, then you should be able to articulate their merits without condescending to fallacious attacks.
Not sure if call it mental or physical organization, but there is more crossing out of words and whole sentences, words that I try to fit into small spaces, or arrows to/from outlined areas below with more space. Like:

+--------------+
| abcd abcd a |
| bcd abcd.--\ |
| | |
| efgh ijkl | |
| ijkl m nnn | |
| | |
| +-------+
| | abc a |
| | abcd |
+------+-------+

A technique that I don't know what to call, is the horizontal brace. Like the ASCII 123, but horizontally, to insert something between two words, above or below the line.

A handicap of the notebook, is that you can't find historical data/names/dates so easy, or synonyms... but as I iterate a few times over the text after the first draft, those gaps can be fixed latter while typing the text.

If the model was trained on CSAM then it’s definitely still CSAM, like the comment in this thread comparing it to cut cocaine, but if it wasn’t it sure seems like a thought crime.
Andy is such a joker. It’s clear these were cherry picked examples.

It's surprising that a city like LA, comparing it to Madrid, has roughly the same number of buses. Specially because Madrid has an incredible subway and commuting train network supporting all this trips.

From what I see, the LA Metro Rail sees 60 million travelers a year, but Madrid subway is over 600 million... [0]

You could consider zram and get 50%+ more ram by compressing it. I use it on a 4gb ram surface go 2 and it works wonders. Not even noticing it in games like Divinity: Original Sin that requires at least 4gb.
Any suggestions on how to land such a role? I've had the last 48 hours off work, which I think is the longest stretch in the last month, but I'll be working this evening, and tomorrow, and tomorrow evening, and Tuesday, and Tuesday evening, and...
That's a good point. I looked into using Matrix before I switched to Signal, but the user experience just in creating an account was pretty abysmal, at least at the time. As I was recommending it to non-tech people, I ended up going with Signal.
I think Emacs works the same with frame/buffers. What I really like in Emacs is not having "tabs" or anything like that. I can always open any file on the filesystem, why do I care what it is open currently? Only at the moment I want to switch do I want to see a list, but I don't want to select it like some neanderthal, I want to narrow it down by typing.

I wonder how well this would work for a WM, though. Processes are a lot heavier than buffers so it kind of does matter how many are running. Unless it's a system like Android where any app expects to be oom killed at any time.
> On the question of balancing privacy and security, there are in fact solutions, but you have to get away from the idea of a centralized police force / centralized government, and think in terms of a free market of agencies, that can decrypt limited evidence only with a warrant and only if they provide a good reason. The warrant could be due to an AI at the edge flagging stuff, but the due process must be followed and be transparent to all

What does this mean? How can "we" move away from centralized states to "a free market of agencies"? How can there be a "market" of police forces, even in principle? Who are the customers in this imagined market? Who enforces the laws to keep it a free market?

At first glance, this sounds like libertarian fan fiction, to be honest, but I am curious.
You know, we can solve all the problems if we get rid of the athletes…
That's UUID v5 (uses a sha1 hash of input data).
just use creation timedate plus auto increment int.

and then a small hash with base64 or 37 or whatever is in vogue these days.

thats what old timers used before uuid 1.

guess we should guerilla standardize something like this as uuid-0 or uuid-deprecated-2.0 for keeping up with the spirit.
I agree with you but I want to try to define the language better.

It's not that LLMs aren't deterministic, because neither are many compilers.

It's also not that LLMs produce incorrect output, because compilers do that to, sometimes.

But when a compiler produces the wrong output, it's because either (1) there's a logic error in my code, or (2) there's a logic error in the compiler†, and I can drill down and figure out what's going on (or enlist someone to help me) to fix the problem.

Let's say I tell an LLM to write a algorithm, and it produces broken code. Why didn't my prompt work? How do I fix it? Can anyone ever actually know? And what did I learn from the experience?

---

† Or I guess there could be a hardware bug. Whatever. I'm going to blame the compiler because it needs to produce bytes that work on my silicon regardless of whether the silicon makes sense.
Obviously anything that's known on this thread is known to AMD management, or at least their assistants.
I've tried YaCy, but the amplitude of the crawling community it's way too little to make it usable so... For now there are not much options, for maps the situation is better with OSM, but still far from being usable like Google Maps for navigation or even only mere exploration since the coverage here and there it's even MUCH superior but for many others is next to void.

To been able to avoid commercial search engines we have only an option: public funding public universities who cure national infra (something already existing, but bigger) and a public indexing project with a national plan for a homeserver per connected home (much like actual ISPs 'router', only pure FLOSS handled by the user or using anyway public code) witch in the other functions also index a small part of the web in an open project like YaCy. Same thing for VoIP comms.

WE DAMN NEED institutionalized FLOSS.

Computerizing it all was a new thought about at that time.

In early 1961, my dad was just implementing one of the first highly-computerized systems for demand deposits and commercial banking at MNB. Magnetic marking of checks had only been standardized a couple of years before.

Credit cards were not really computerized until the mid-70's.
I missed that because I typically am using ULIDs these days. But, yeah, some standardized format for a hash of message data is what I want.
even if you have a password in Telegram as a second factor, Telegram can bypass it anyways; and the user isn't even asked
You can set a password that’s required to authenticate a new device.

Once that’s set, after the SMS code, then (assuming you don’t have access to an existing logged in device because then you are already in…), you can either reset the password via an email confirmation _or_ you can create a new account under that phone number (with no existing history, contacts, etc).

If you set a password and no recovery email, there is no way for them to get access to your contacts or chat history barring getting them from Telegram themselves.

Why not google it and post the link? This will ensure that we don't get some other result that you're not thinking of.
With Matrix, you can use your own (or trusted) server. Doesn't it solve the problem with the metadata? At least when two trusted servers interact.
Yep, they definitely wont give a reason. They just say that the risk/compliance team has made the determination and it is final. shrug
