Will it still support OTR (E2EE not dependent on the protocol in use) for all the protocols it implements? Meaning whether or not a platform has pseudo E2EE, will Pidgin 3.0+ eventually support using it's own E2EE especially if cranky old farts like me do not and will never trust server managed pseudo E2EE? Bonus if pre-shared secrets and keys can be shared out of band.

Hypothetical Use Case: A bunch of agents and I want to use a XMPP platform hosted by the cartel to raid the cartel and even if they suspect we are agents and even if they backdoor eJabber's own E2EE it would be literally impossible for them to decode the messages as we shared our OTR keys ahead of time on a private LAN or a USB or a stack of QR codes or some punch cards or ribbon tape strapped to carrier pidgins and have our own E2EE on top of their pseudo E2EE.

Dictionary: I created the term pseudo E2EE for any of the big centralized platforms that claim to use E2EE and use some client encryption magical incantations from code maintained by said platform. This is not real E2EE regardless of what magical explanation anyone gives.
If you are small or mid scale and you need lots of compute between 8
5 to 8 on Monday till Friday it basically the best thing you can you to schedule your workload.

If you need some things like load balancing and zero downtime deploys etc you probably will build your own k8s which is often worse
There are cryptographic tools (zero-knowledge proofs, for example) that can provide anonymous attestations for a user's age. The problem is that the infrastructure to support it isn't provided by the same government that's requiring it to exist.

And even if the private sector innovated here, there's no approval from the government to accept math nerd solutions as legally valid.

Which means you basically have to scan and upload your photo ID to these websites, or use a payment card, or something else that will stand up in court.
in what way has crawlability anything to do with that?
The only people super pumping the idea of mass replacement of human labor are financially invested in that outcome.
> We represent the robot actions as text strings as shown below. An example of such a string could be a sequence of robot action token numbers: “1 128 91 241 5 101 127 217”.

Training with numbers like this might be a little problematic, I have tried to fine tune GPT 4o-mini with very little success(just me?)

On the other hand I found[1] Gemini and Molmo being able to locate elements on screen much better than 4o.

Apparently we had the capability for collective action at one time, but most of us weren't around then.

The political order of the New Deal lasted from roughly the Great Depression until about 1980. It wasn't just about government actions, it was more about how most people understood the world what it means to live a good life. That way of thinking about the world enabled collective action to improve the standard of living for most people, reduce poverty and inequality, give most people better health, housing and longer lives, faster and safer transportation, dignity in old age, etc.

But that political order was replaced by neoliberalism, which started in the 1980s and probably ended at the 2008 financial collapse. Again, it was not only a new political order, it was a shift in how people understood the world and their place in it. It was a time of deregulation, globalized commerce and capital flows, and the supremacy of market-based solutions. We got dramatic increases in inequality, unimaginable individual wealth combined with tent cities and a resurgence of infectious disease.

It's hard to imagine accomplishing big collective goals like building an interstate highway system, or implementing social security, or winning a world war against fascism, if all that hadn't been done already.

We might not even be capable of maintaining what previous generations were able to build from nothing.

I've spent my life swimming in the water of neoliberalism so it's almost impossible to imagine that there are alternatives. It feels like effective collective action for the greater good has never been possible and never will be.
The first reasoning basically summarises to "storing 2FA token in a password manager protects against phishing because the TOTP token won't be autocompleted on the wrong domain".

Any decent password manager would avoid autocompleting the password on the wrong domain in the first place. I.e.: it will already protect against phishing attacks anyway.

1Password's documentation use to have a whole article about how bad an idea it was to store TOTP in a password manager — but their stance completely changed at some point. Around the same time they started _recommending_ that you do so, and presented it as a key feature in the marketing material.

---

Personally, I think that the only valid reason to store a TOTP secret in password manger is when you don't really care too much about an account (e.g.: prefer convenience over security), but the website demands that I set up 2FA.
Neuromorphic Computing Could Take the Lead in Real World Applications Over Quantum Computing

As technology races forward, a thrilling battle is unfolding between two revolutionary computing paradigms: Quantum Computing and Neuromorphic Computing. While both promise to reshape our digital landscape, neuromorphic computing is emerging as a dark horse poised to outpace quantum systems in many practical applications. While quantum computing has been hogging the limelight, neuromorphic computing is quietly revolutionizing the tech world. Let’s dive into this high stakes showdown and uncover why brain inspired computing might just be the future we’ve been waiting for. Read more at link if interested
So do what the commenter suggests and make irrelevant permutations to the input to find when it fails. ie., engage in hypothesis testing rather than confirmation bias.

If a system has the capability to solve problems of {parts1...parts_n}, then it only has that capability if irrelevant permutations {parts1..parts2'...parts_n} make no difference.

Its very obvious that such permutations can destory such apparent capabilities.
It nearly killed my sister-in-law who is a (relatively) healthy 20 something. Definitely gave her long covid and she definitely treated it with ivermectin.

To this day, her and her husband will rant and rave about how dangerous the vaccine is (which my family and I all the boosters for).

I've been told about the millions that will die any day now from the vaccines. And while I've yet to actually hear of a single person that took the vaccine who's died from either covid or the vaccine itself, I have multiple family members and friends family members that I know died from covid.

I don't even doubt that there are people that have received the vaccine and later died from covid, I just don't personally know anyone that is in that category.
Well, let's also ban alcohol consumption since it's bad for you. Let's also ban all forms of violent media since that could potentially be bad for you when viewed in excess (similar to porn). It's a slippery slope. At what point do we just start monitoring people's thoughts when that tech comes available?
Cool, thanks for that.

Derren Brown also used a similar idea in his TV special 'The System' [0], though with a darker twist. I'm sure the idea goes way back.

Yes, same. Are those invisible turrets?!
how did you decided on building for arch and NixOS but not for red hat or debian?
calling high quality decisions about risk post-hoc rationalizations is like saying an athlete is just dumb and lucky.
The problem is, the laws are very… stupid? No PornHub, but Twitter is fine because less than X% of revenue is coming from pornography. But it’s still the place for the adult content. Ask any young person about Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram funnels into Twitter solely for pornography.

These types of laws (good enough even if we can get rid of 50% of the problem!), I think, don’t work well when there’s physiological element to it (arousal in this scenario). People will actively seek out pornography and consume it. It has been going on for decades in the internet.
I've been using https://perseid.dev for years, for building web apps, never had any performance issues. Only websites like e-commerce really need SSR. For all the other use cases, it's really just a fancy thing, not worth the extra development complexity and hosting costs.
How are the parents going to watch porn then? If you think porn consumption isn't ubiquitous among all the anti-porn preachers I've got some statistics to sell to you
You totally miss that Redis is more like a remote interpreter with a DSL that manipulates data structures stored at global variables (keys): you (hopefully) would never complain about languages having this semantics.

I don't think you understood how Redis collections work. The items are just strings, they can't be mixed like integers or strings together or whatever, nor collections can be nested.

The Redis commands do type checking to ensure the application is performing the right operation.

In your example, GET against a list, does not make sense because:

1. GET is the retrieve-the-key-of-string-type operation.

2. Having GET doing something like LRANGE 0 -1 would have many side effects. Getting for error a huge list and returning a huge data set without any reason, creating latency issues. Also having options for GET to provide ranges (SQL alike query languages horror story). And so forth.

So each "verb" should do a specific action in a given data type. Are you absolutely sure you were exposed enough to the Redis API, how it works, and so forth?

About MULTI/EXEC, when AOF with fsync configured correctly is used, MULTI/EXEC provide some of the transactional guarantees you think when you hear "transaction", but in general the concept refers to the fact that commands inside MULTI/EXEC have an atomic effect from the point of view of an external observer AND point-in-time RDB files (and AOF as well). MULTI / INCR a / INCR a / EXEC will always result in the observer to see either 2, 4, 6, 8, and so forth, and never 3 or 5.

Anyway, I believe you didn't put enough efforts in understanding how really Redis works. Yet you criticized it with weak arguments in front of the most precious good we have: students. This is the sole reason why I wrote my first comment, I believe this to be a wrong teaching approach.
Logged in, non paid account, on a desktop, for me, it's exactly as the person you're replying to has stated.

If I log out, it shows 4o mini, and when I try to change it, it asks me to login or sign in rather than giving me any options.

When I use enough chatgpt when logged in it gives me some nebulous "you've used all your xyz tokens for the day". But other than that there is no real signal to me that I'm getting a degraded experience.

It's really just confusing as hell.
Yes, my point of view is that using a password manager with unique and strong passwords everywhere is bringing most of the benefits you get with TOTP, and then you can have TOTP for compliance with security policy only.
SRE here. First off, updating control plane/kubelet is nightmare in itself but let's assume you are running managed Kubernetes somewhere so that's taken care of.

Kubernetes out of the box is not ready to go. What Ingress are you going to use? Ingress-Nginx. Cool cool, How is that getting deployed? Helm Chart. How do we keep track of that being kept up to date and who deployed it? ArgoCD. So who is going to teach all CRDs for Argo and how they work with each other? SREs. You understand we dislike the devs and last thing we want to do is hold classes they don't want to learn? JUST BUILD A PLATFORM. And here we go.

So out of box, most people deploy Kubernetes + 8 "plugins" and it's Frankenstein monster that's you have to manage or it will decide to kill all the workloads one day.

EDIT: I'm didn't even discuss certificates for that ingress or all monitoring/logging this cluster will need to make sure it's properly operating.
Thanks for the links.

It does seem like outdated agricultural practices and a booming population are critical factors. But that doesn't easily explain why there was an acute food shortage in 1958-59, despite rising yields (as per the article I linked).
That's very different then shuting down the economy and locking people in their houses. I am not saying I think the response was unreasonable (at least initially) but many people cleary did.
Is porn addiction a symptom or a cause?

I feel like young men retreat to porn because they can't find a partner. The percentage of men who would prefer porn over a partner is probably very minor.

I think the problem with men being single is that it's very hard to be in a space where it's acceptable to seek a partner. Due to various #metoo and similar actions most men have learned it's unacceptable to approach women in public spaces. Meanwhile the online dating websites are trying their hardest not to match people because people who find their match don't watch ads and pay for microtransactions (premium accounts, gifts, boosts).

I feel like the best solution to loneliness and to boost marriage (and thus birth) rates would be some form of non-commercial / government run dating website. Dating websites are slowly becoming a desert and most people who used them for a longer period of time will tell you how great they were before swiping era.
>I grumpily ordered a replacement key for 15 euros.

A single key for 15€?! I remember ordering one from an online shop specialized in replacement laptop keys at some point in the 2010s and it was like 2€ total. Browsing through similar shops now, it seems like the minimum is 5€ per key nowadays, but still a far cry from 15€.

>After spending more than 100 euros on plastic keys, which would soon break again, I calculated that my keyboard had 90 keys and that replacing them all just once would cost me 1,350 euros.

Someone who breaks keys this often could just buy the whole keyboard assembly FRU for ~30-50€ and take spare keys out of that, assuming it's not always the same ones that break.
Can’t strafe on mobile, that’s can shooting range and you are the can.
The article implies that the FBI was aware of his large collection of extremely dangerous explosives at the time they arrested him. It doesn't mention a SWAT team, but I'll take your word for that, but do note that there had to be a bomb disposal team because some of the bombs were too sensitive to remove and had to be exploded on-site.
I have a dream... that one day we will have a DEA which only regulates purity and accuracy of dose for drugs, and an ATF which only regulates quality and accuracy for firearms. These laws do little to protect the public and they mire enthusiasts with steep and discouraging legal (and thus personal physical) risks. This sort of thinking about the role of government has to stop; it is human civilization's chief sickness.
> Are you saying there is absolutely no way to perform this action online in a way that respects privacy just the same as all of those operations? No way at all to do a verification that's immediately tossed in a privacy preserving way?

There's ways yes but the bigger issue is that it's much harder to verify. When I show my ID to a cashier I can see whether they photocopy it or not. I can't verify websites and porn ones could be shady.

Not that I personally care that people know I watch porn. But maybe people do care.
Correct.

I believe their is a term for it but basically they pass a "gatchya law" that is super difficult to follow and open to interpretation, then if someone gets caught doing something they have a reason to prosecute.

Example: speeding laws, ammo or firearm storage laws, tax laws etc.
Most people are reasonable when they drive, but don't always follow the speed limit. If they catch you and other charges fail they always have speeding as an excuse. Tax code is so complicated and constantly changing its a real joke. They even have people who exist to handle the bullshit because its so complex, just like how laws are written. CPA and lawyer do the same job in a sense, figure out the bullshit so you don't go to jail or commit a felony.
Those suggestions are anti-CAPTCHA or unrelated to CAPTCHA, however.
I feel like I definitely suffer from this. I used to be able to recall everything but a lifetime of trauma online has given me definitive bitrot brain.
Your forgetting the darkest pattern.

Where Microsoft keeps your bit locker keys in your forced Microsoft account instead of letting you save them to USB drive.

Why not at least give the user choice? Maybe I want a simple password to decypt ? Maybe I don't care about encryption.

Then again, it's not my computer anymore. I'm sharing it with Microsoft.
yes that’s what i am working on these days but there is a need for a generally available neural chip (see google’s coral as one attempt). in my tests, esp32s3 is very very slow for any model with conv2d involved.

i just want a tiiiny gpu for $10 so i can run smaller models at higher speed than possible with xtensa/rp2040 having limited simd support etc.
Dark is devouring the light.

The spiritual communities are going bonkers about lizard people and other occult (and worse), not because that is actually true rather a psyop spiritual battle is boggling minds from within.

The immoral and corrupt know they can trust (and will “pay”) each other. The moral will be ridiculed or prescribed antipsychotics for their troubles.

You say otherwise because that was the old teaching, that is what you want to believe, and no one has made trouble for you otherwise.

The light and love is precious, it must be nurtured and maintained, protected. The modern mind (comfortable, convenient, and convinced it’s all a state of mind) just doesn’t have the tenacity of will to endure the mounting struggles. Not at scale anyhow.

I presume, with Windows 10 support ending this year, there's going to be a glut of used laptops.
That's all fine when you use the laptop as a typewriter. I keep around a 2010 laptop that only has some text editing software on it for that exact reason.

Unfortunately, with the advent of soldered ram and storage, this isn't feasible any more for more taxing uses. Most of the used devices will have the default ram and storage and you'll have to buy new so you can order the thing with enough resources.
You won't be able to read those blocks in any normal way. I don't know if the specialized set of "block remap/reassign" commands in SCSI, or in S.M.A.R.T, can be used to reach the blocks.
I didn't say that they remove every single piece of problem content, or that they remove every single thing a user flags. But I do believe that they go out of their way to do so. They make way too much money to do otherwise.

Also, they may (I hope) be a better company now than in the past, as your example seems to show (you indicate that they started requiring verification for uploaded videos). Maybe they grew up, or maybe they just realized that their revenue (or entire business) would be compromised unless they took serious, ongoing action.

In any case - Aylo/PH must certainly be better than many of the alternatives that are based in very permissive jurisdictions and just don't care. Those are the sites people in these Southern states are going to end up on now.

I'm sorry that in your case they failed though.
Agree, only issue is sometimes it's difficult to leave if the game runner or the players spring this type of sh** behavior on you. Especially if you're not expecting it, and then players / runner do almost nothing other than try to in some way entrap you in a miserable experience. Like noted below in a different comment, happens when you're trying to run a game also. Players do the same, trying to act out their disgusting fetishes, while forcing you to run the experience. Many horrible experiences over the years from the show runner side of the table.

May be your only social group. Usually people who are this far down in the nerd / geek hierarchy don't have that many friends anyways. It usually implies you already failed most of the ideas human society prioritizes anyways. Often means the only people to hang out with are other nerds and rejects. NY Times (frankly really mean) chart on the subject from 2008 [1]. Course, what do you expect from the company that wrote this article being discussed?

This (somewhat) less mean (although still about the same) chart [2] has approximately the same view on the situation. You're already down with people who watch children's shows and go to Ren Faires. Probably the type that sit around on New Years Day arguing about Dungeons and Dragons annoying PC rule changes rather than having friends to party with.

All/most of the US National labs are still incredibly productive at making big discoveries. I attribute it largely to the culture and organization system Ernest Lawrence set up during the Manhattan Project, which persists to this day- and of course generous funding.
“Chief sickness” is pretty strong when there are dozens of other human problems that are considerably worse.

Please leave the premises, sir. We don't take kindly to luddites here.
A great read, thanks for sharing. Many interesting thoughts about the movement joiners and also on the writer point of view on the situations

> Middle Eastern Muslim culture expert Marvin Zonis notes that Arab societies value the honor and dignity of the individual more than personal liberty. When the principles of honor and dignity confront the devastating failures of many Middle Eastern states to achieve prominence in the world, the result is a profound and omnipresent humiliation and rage that is palpable throughout the region.
> but all roads lead back to SQL eventually

No it doesn't. SQL is designed for relational databases.

For other forms i.e. JSON, Graph, Key/Value they all use other query languages.
Mostly because they say things like "bike lanes make car congestion worse", when the evidence is generally that bike lanes improve car transit times.

Or claim they don't want bike lanes because cyclists break the law all the time, while not noticing how motorists break the law even more often - in a multi-ton vehicle - nor realizing how much infrastructure has had to be put into place to physically prevent motorists from breaking the law even more often.

Or claim they don't want their tax dollars to support rich people in lycra, while they simply don't see the poor people who use a bike to get around.

Or say they need a car to transport the kids around to sports events or band practice, when their 13 year old could cycle in their own should a real bike system exist.

Bike lanes can even offer an alternative routing that an ambulance can use when a traffic jam blocks the road, because cyclists can pull their bikes to the side far easier than a driver can pull a car to the side. I suspect some of these drivers may like faster medical services when having a heart attack.
