Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but are you saying that you use LLMs as refactoring tools, so things like to move code around, rename stuff, extract functions, and make changes that don’t change the logic?
Or is it something else? Because as far as I know, LLMs are pretty bad at not making random changes, even if told to just reorder stuff, plus we have a lot of deterministic tools for that job, so I guess you probably mean something else. Honest question.
Link, for most of the people in this thread surprised that Proton does what it’s pretty clear in saying they’ll do.
And people getting into trouble for using proton for stuff they are saying not to do.

If you are attempting to leak state secrets (as was the case of Edward Snowden) or going up against a powerful state adversary, email may not be the most secure medium for communications. The Internet is generally not anonymous, and if you are breaking Swiss law, a law-abiding company such as Proton Mail can be legally compelled to log your IP address. A powerful state adversary will also be better positioned to launch one of the attacks described above against you, which may negate the privacy protection provided by Proton Mail. While we can offer more protection and security, we cannot guarantee your safety against a powerful adversary.
I’ve eventually switched from NameCheap to Cloudfare, because they kept drastically raising my email domain price.
Cloudfare is one of the few (not sure if the only one) who has guaranteed wholesale prices (as in, the prices set by the tld owner), with nothing added on top. I moved my domain over, and I saved around 15$ a month.
The best thing to do is buy a domain in some other registrar, like NameCheap, because they will give you the domain for cheaper than wholesale (and then raise your price by a lot in the next few years, way above wholesale). So I just buy it cheap, and once the next renewal is higher than wholesale, I move it over to Cloudfare and keep it there.
This is a really good point.
This post is a great example of what will skipping a research and just trusting the first solution you find lead to.
When you are researching the thing yourself, you usually don’t find the solution immediately. And if you immediately have something that seems to work, you’re even less likely to give up on that idea.
However, even taking this into account (because the same can probably happen even if you do research the thing yourself - jumping to a first solution), I don’t understand how it’s possible that the post doesn’t make a single mention of any remote desktop protocols. I’m struggling to figure out how would you have to phrase your questions/promts/research so that VNC/RDP, you know - the tools made for exactly the problem they are trying to solve - does not comes up even once during your development.
Like, every single search I’ve tried about this problem has immediately led me to RDP/VNC. The only way how I can see the ignorance displayed in the post is that they ignored it on purpose - lacking any real knowledge about the problem they are trying to solve, they simply jumped to “we’ll have a 60 FPS HD stream!”, and their problem statement never was “how to do low-bandwith remote desktop/video sharing”, but “how to stream 60 FPS low-latency desktop”.
It’s mindboggling. I’d love to see the thought and development process that was behind this abomination.
Uh, I’m pretty damn sure I have seen an office with hundreds of people, all connected remotely to workstations, on enterprise network, without any of the problems they are talking about. I’ve worked remotely from a coffee shop Wifi without any lag or issues. What the hell are they going on about? Have they never heard about VNC or RDP?
But our WebSocket streaming layer sits on top of the Moonlight protocol
Oh. I mean, I’m sitting on my own Wifi, one wall between me with a laptop (it is 10 years old, though) and my computer running Sunshite/Moonlight stream, and I run into issues pretty often even on 30FPS stream. It’s made for super low-latency game streaming, that’s expected. It’s extremely wrong tool for the job.
We’re building Helix, an AI platform where autonomous coding agents…
Oh. So that’s why.
Lol.
This holds true for any kind of secure communication you want to do.
Manually handling keys and encryption with GPG is the core of good opsec, and also a reason why 99% of “crime prevention” backdoors are probably not going to do much. But people are lazy, been a while since I saw a drug dealer hand out public GPG keys, ever since Telegram and the like got popular.
And a thermostat for AC is an agentic AI.
I was just looking where to donate to them. The chads aren’t even accepting donations.
I’m kind of interested how will it go, especially further development and their issue handling.
It doesn’t do anything I need, though.
First time I’m seeing this, and I have to say I admire their dedication to the joke.
Zombo.com is a single-serving site created in 1999…
…
The site was initially a Flash animation, but as of 5 January 2021, it switched to HTML5 due to the discontinuation of Adobe Flash Player.
I hope this will bacfire heavily and shuts down their tourist industry.
I’ve had a few people around me who were to US, or planned to go. All of them has lost all desire to do so. I can’t imagine why would anyone who doesn’t have to (i.e for work, and even then I’d really reconsider it) volunteraly go to US at this point, for a vacation of all things.
If you aren’t already using it, https://vencord.dev/ is a good Discord client mod that lets you get rid of some of the annoying features.
Might be against ToS, but so far I don’t think people had any issues with it.
Another option (that I use when I don’t need voice) is having your own Matrix server with Discord bridge. With double puppeting it can bridge both servers and DMs, and post in your name (without needing a bot on the server).
As far as I know you can do double puppeting with Matrix discord bridges, or whatever it is called.
As in “the bridge posts using your account, and not a bot”. I have it set up on my own Matrix server, and I have servers and DMs bridged without issues.
Also, setting up a server with the ansible project is super easy, it’s one of those rare cases where the ansible is robust, easy to use and actually doesn’t break.
I have no experience with React, so I couldn’t tell. Thanks for the info, I’ll keep it in mind.
I think I’ve seen it mentioned that in case RSC isn’t used, it might be vulnerable but it’s not really confirmed, but you’re right that it probably doesn’t warrant shutting down the server.
I don’t really need it that much, though, so I’ll just wait for the update, take a scour through logs and use it as a learning opportunity for forensics, and skip the reinstall.
Well, Element seems to still be running at the unupdated version even after update, so I’m just shutting the server down.
I’m bummed that it took me 5 days to learn about it, does anyone have some tips how to get early warnings for techs you’re using? I’m guessing there’s a way with npm.
Also, anyone has some tips how to properly compromise-check your server? I’m guessing there are logs to check for compromise, and audit your startup scripts for persistence? Any tools that could help with that?
Fuck, Element for Matrix is apparently build on React, and I was updating like 4 days ago after few months.
Well, time to update again, I hope it’s fine. Never really learned how to properly compromise-check your server.
First time I’m seeing Uiua, and I like it. It’s kind of cute, even though I know I’ll probably never use it.
However, seeing one of their goals being “code that is as short as possible while remaining readable” is kind of ironic, given how it looks and reads. But I don’t mind, it’s still pretty adorable.
It looks like it’s hell to learn and write. It’s possible that once you learn all the glyphs (which IMO adds unneccessary complexity that goes against their goal of being readable), it might be easier to parse. I’m probably not the target audience, though.
This is my most used app on my phone. It does comes with a little extensive setup, because you need to have your own Matrix server, but thanks to the amazing Matrix Ansible Project, which is one of those rare docker/ansible projects that actually work and are very robustly set-up, deploying a server took me like an hour max, incuding bridge setup and getting hosting (for around 8$ a month on Hetzner).
I replaced Messenger, Discord, WhatsApp and Telegram apps with this, by setting up bridges in Matrix. The setup was relatively simple, the ansible is well documented and I mostly had to just add lile two config lines into the ansible. So far I haven’t had much issues and I’ve been using it for the past few years.
There might be better clients than Element, haven’t really looked into it. It’s not frictionless and it took some getting used to, but not having a ton of spyware appson my phone is worth it.
To add to this excelent answer, one thing that made me really understand and realize quite a lot about how do CPUs actually work, and why is most of the stuff the way it is, was playing through the amazing “Turing Complete” puzzle game.
The premise is simple - you start with basic AND/OR/NOT gates, and slowly build up stuff. You make a NAND, and then can use your design. Then you make a counter, and can use that. The one bit memory. An adder. A multiplexer. All using the component designs you have already done before.
Eventually, you build up to ALU and RAM, until you end up with a working CPU. Later levels even add creating your instruction sets and assembly language, but I never really got far into that part.
It’s a great combination of being a puzzle game - you have clear goals, and everything is pretty approachable and very well paced. I had no idea how is memory done on the circuit level, but the game made me figure it out, or had hints when I got stuck.
And seeing a working CPU that you’ve designed from scratch is pretty cool, but most importantly - even though I’ve had courses on hardware, CPU architecture and the like on college, there’s a lot of stuff I kind of understood, but it never really clicked. This game has helped tremendously in that regard, and it was full of “aha moments” finally connecting a lot of what I know about low-level computing.
I’m not even into puzzle games that much, but this was just a joy to play. It was so fun I sat through it in one session, up until I got to a complete CPU. I very highly recommend it to anyone.
