Interesting I didn’t know you can block/cancel transactions. Does this have to happen before the new block is minted. or it can happen after, that’s what I’m inclined to think just based off of the word block

Yea I really like this idea.

We need a clean start. A lot of layers can and should be rebuilt, and even if you do it without reducing functionality, I feel like in a lot of cases like we’ll be able to cut down the code significantly.

When I explain software bloat to non technical people, I say imagine you built a 10 story building, but every few years it was a story at a time with the renovations along the way.

Like there’s gonna be a lot of inefficiencies. Yea I know we refactor. But doing a clean slate rebuild. Knowing exactly what you need based on real world experience, it should work to really streamline stuff.

First of all this is crazy that even on hn we were a few days behind this.

Second fuck Apple. Fuck all tech companies. And seriously fuck late stage capitalism. Foss or nothing. There should be a rule if you pay for it it has to be foss. This way people can still make proprietary but they just can’t charge for it.

We have zero privacy, zero security, all our politicians and all the corporations are against us.

Media parsing is an endless exploit vector. Like fuck. At some point you have to be like they (not just Apple) keep it broken

An yea I know foss gets these issues too. But if the only option was foss, then at least the whole world’s focus would be on it

Surprised this made it to the front page. No git Repo

Examples? Advice?

Is it just me or is it really hard to get a complete/working product out of an llm?

I find that unless I have very detailed specs with rigorous completion verification/criteria (manually atm) or tests. It’s like 60/40 at best.

And adding all the tricks only gets me to like 75-80.

Tbh I am using cheaper Chinese models (ds4.1f) and only pay for the $20 plans from the us labs

Wait … that’s lame. If it’s in Debian repos I expect it to work with full functionality (up to the version number)

I can understand the myriad reasons for why a company would be inconvenienced by that.

But on the other hand, it seems like a reason for me to never use the vendor

All the controversy aside, someone can now white box reimplement this if they are concerned

Did they fix that thing where like you can’t have mixed movies and tv in the same folder without it going nuts

I think the authors treatment of backdoors and exceptional access is a narrow focus.

We will certainly see “front door” access as various places have or are attempting to enact client side scanning, id verified online access, software root of trust remote attestation, and the general attack on e2e.

Taken together your identity tied to unmodifiable software, necessary to access the web or modern economy with client side scanning and no e2e … is a front door.

All this has nothing to do with ai, bugs, hackers or security vulnerabilities, let alone backdoors

Same way drm works, it’s going to be in layer of hw/sw that you don’t have control over. We don’t have commonly have control on the cpu, chipset, uefi. And on the top side things like widevine on the application layer
