Any proof for or against a mathematical conjecture, bruteforced by AI can be the spark for new insights. I'll concede that to the AI companies.

But I agree with the sentiment that the marketing behind these "discoveries" is disingenious. They pretend they solved the problem, but it still takes a bunch of humans to reduce the solution to a simplified and sensible explanation.

If you ever start making videos, definitely drop your link below, I love watching repairs videos

Those sound pretty cool! I guess for bike rentals the location is everything though. Surf shop seems chill, I dont know how to surf at all, but I can see myself in onz of those shops too :) I'm not sure how you break into being an electrician, I've dipped my those by wiring up the house I'm building. I guess you need to get certified first though, if you're working for others, depending on the laws of the country you are residing in. Electronic repairs are fun but getting boardviews for boards is a pain in the ass, a lot of manufacturers do not want to give it out...

I got fired, so I've been enjoying my other hobbies. :)

1. Electronics repairs (Soldering, replacing caps, mosfets etc, lots of fun debugging things) 2. Old timer car repairs (love working on Volkswagen and Saabs) 3. Electrician (hate the dust, but love drawing plans, cabling, home automation) 4. CNC shop: rebuild parts, 3D CAD work etc

I'm waiting for the OpenAI report that their agents defrosted everything.

Isn't v2 completely deprecated?

Or are you asking why arent more people using Tor in general?

Domain names are random, cant memorize them. Solving that requires centralization or blockchain of some sorts.

"This is what happened to the EU with battery technology, renewable technology, AI, digital services, and semiconductors."

I don't agree with the "semiconductor" take of that. ASML, a European company funded by a lot of private and non-European capital, is basically producing the machines that are making all of the high-end semi conductors of the past few years. They have received grants from the EU, arguably small in compared to the private funding though.

IMEC, and their NanoIC research on the other hand receives a lot of funding from the EU.

1. A concern is not invalid merely because something else is worse. 2. Leaping to influence by foreign state is non sequitur. What evidence have you observed for that? How do I know you haven't been sent by the corporate tech elites? 3. Focussing on water strawmans the other arguments against data center imho.

I tend to agree with your sentiment, I think datacenters are getting more shit than they deserve, but there are better arguments to be made.

With patience, love and a bit of humor. X

Truth be told, GrapheneOS is the only third party ROM that bothers to make app attestation work.

Wondering how webauthn extensions will fit into this.

PRF for example, takes salts as inputs, if extensions are taken into consideration then it would need to capture input & client extension results too.

I agree with Graphene's take here.

I've defended app attestation against baseless criticism, but this is a valid take.

The only nuance I would make is that hardware attestation as a technology isn't inherently anti-competitive but rather the way these companies implement it.

I would love to see a non-profit attestation service that publishes a list of allowed OS's, and roots that are deemed secure based on reality.
