What's the security back-story here?
Comment · 1 year ago
The security concerns here are really significant. In the section[1] on security, they write "we recommender you monitor Claude while using this feature." This borders on irresponsible IMO. Monitor what exactly? How should we monitor? What logs and metrics are exposed for security monitoring? How would a user recognize suspicious patterns...?

Spoiler alert; Elon buys all your web browsers.

A massive effort is currently underway by undersea mining companies to dredge the life out of huge swaths of largely unexplored seabed, including Antarctic and Polar regions.
It's the same insanity that allows industrial fishing fleets to drag kilometers-long nets through the sea scooping up megatons of bycatch -- although, this time we are likely to obliterate seabed ecosystems before anyone even has a chance to see them.
Some brilliant reads on these and surrounding topics:

Yep, a DisplayLink hub is the way. I've also been using one for 6 months and while it is perfectly stable, there are annoyances. For example certain protected video streams won't decode, and F.lux doesn't quite work on all monitors the way it should. Overall though I've put up with it. It's really an outrage that Apple restricted this basic functionality just because it could.

I don't know but I'm 25 years into my career and awk, sed, and grep are still valuable skills across many of the roles I work with.
I've often found fundamentals to be just as important, or more important, than chasing the trends.

The combination in Vivaldi browser of Workspaces (tab groups), pinned tabs, and vertical tabs has completely revolutionized my workday.

Vivaldi also has quite a head start on Arc, AFAIK. It's been almost entirely stable for my daily usage involving hundreds of ever-changing tabs...

Not to state the obvious, but this would be a wonderful time to share Ellsberg's story with someone in the younger generations.

> Just under a million of that was on storing 8 petabytes of files in S3, fully replicated across several regions
Hol' up. They're replicating data across regions -- across /several/ regions -- on top of a service (S3) which already has 99.999999999% data durability in a single region? ...Why?

On the one hand, this is a bargain for Enterprise SaaS software.
On the other, I can run you an IRC server for roughly the cost of electricity.

HN readers love to opine on how "safe" nuclear is so I have my popcorn ready for this thread
> the lab was the location of one of the nation's largest — and least known — nuclear accidents that occurred 1959 when one of the facility's ten sodium nuclear reactors experienced a partial meltdown, releasing enormous amounts of radiation into the surrounding environment.

Yikes. That's a lot of travel.

Found this on a bike forum, posted two days ago:
"On March 24th, 2022, I was riding my bike near the beach in San Francisco down a slight slope. My hands were on my brakes to make sure the bike was in control. About 150 feet ahead of me, a vehicle suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. To avoid oncoming traffic, I veered towards the vehicle's right, which suddenly moved directly in front of me.
At that point, I could not avoid impact and crashed through the vehicle's back window with my bike. As I lay on the road, I saw that the car that hit me did not have a driver."
