Still team Emacs. We’re a team because we use elisp, not because of something trivial like how our text editors work.

It feels weird that it has it’s own domain name and slogan. I get that there’s a promotional aspect to it, but it seems a bit much.

This is a good article because it immediately made me feel stupid for not knowing about O_PATH.

I really need to figure out a better sandboxing method for shells. It’s crazy to be things where my keys, browser data, shell history are all accessible.

I do try to use firejail where possible, but it’s quite cumbersome. Every so often I look for tools to help with this, but everything is oriented around making a specific program (e.g. Firefox, steam) work.

Check out the high ceilings in these luxury cubes

Yeah, I’d say for information, certainly, but there are other ways you could be valuable. A dev on a popular open source project might be very valuable for executing supply chain attacks.

Something feels off today

I was thinking the same thing just based on downloading some tarballs for some open source projects. General speed tests were fine.

It looks like they used the egg to protect the rest of the food from the heat.

The impaled guy is my favourite, but overall it’s excellent

I feel like I’m having a Mandela Effect moment because this seems very familiar.

I did some searching and it reminded me that there was a shop called Tesseract Computers in my home town.

For the blue cube, are you perhaps thinking of an SGI workstation of some sort? Some of those were blue cubes.

machines will be able to ‘think like humans’ when it happens

Maybe AGI is just a brain-destroying pandemic?

Hang on, is a sphere just a torus that poops out it’s mouth?

I think a web of trust is a much more powerful concept. Users should be able to choose how they distribute and delegate trust.

The tree invite thing is what private torrent trackers have been doing for a long time.

You can audit the code but something like:

The rate of commits and new features seems rather high for a single person working by themselves

Is a huge problem in itself IMO. It implies there’s no real human oversight of the project.

It’s because CEOs don’t play cyberpunk, but they did try chatgpt and got an immediate boner thinking about all the people they could lay off.

That’s the scary thing. It can easily create more code than it can understand, and do it faster than human understanding can keep up with.

Yes, and you can do the same thing to your child’s non-root account. The point of the California law is to allow admins (parents) to do that.

Furthermore, a peer review process is planned, through which the consortium members will mutually check and certify their operating systems and smartphone or tablet models. “This is intended to create transparency and replace trust with traceability.”

Still doesn’t sound very open.

I should be able to tell my bank to only trust devices running an OS signed by the grapheneos key, and more importantly I should be able to tell them to trust an OS signed by my key.

Edit: I don’t mean to shit on this too hard. It might be the best next step.

The difference now is the machine can churn out way more data (e.g. pull requests) than a human can ever deal with.

That’s true, but as a maintainer you could encourage those helpful maintainers to triage issues from regular users.

I think the real benefit would come from taking a user’s reputation into account across projects.

At the end of the day you can’t have low effort pull requests, and expect maintainers to look at everything. It’s the same spam problem as in any other domain.
