You can do this way easier by just copying the HTML/CSS and modifying what you need. Going through Figma is entirely unnecessary for making a scam site.

Nope, the kernel can load static ELF binaries. ld.so is only needed for dynamically linked binaries, and in fact many Go applications (for example, as they're statically linked) ship as containers with nothing but the single binary.

I've found this to be effective as well. Claude generally immediately identifies the stupid code pattern it used and tries to fix it (with somewhat varying results).

90% of 30% of total energy use. So, actually 27%. What a title.

I wonder how this compares to GrapheneOS in practice.

>Operated by Murena, your Murena Workspace account @murena.io is at the centre of the ecosystem, allowing to store, back up and retrieve your data safely on remote servers.

This sounds like their version is somewhat married to Murena. While probably better than Google, still not independent.

They're also advertising features such as "hiding your IP address [...] when you feel like it" – which sounds a lot like a VPN – without mentioning much about who the traffic is going through or how they might log it.

Greylisting is great until it delays your email login/signup verification codes for 20 minutes. Especially if they expire in 15.

I guess this only shows how email is used for entirely orthogonal purposes now.

It does, especially at the scale of operating systems.

Bugs and vulnerabilities are always being found, with fewer and fewer people in the pool that might even theoretically want to pay for fixing them.

Also, hardware does deteriorate, and the story is the same for adding software support for whatever is currently available in hardware.

Based on the various benchmarks linked here and in the OP, the name feels justifiable. "Mini" models tend to be a lot worse compared to the base model than this one seems to be.

> Are you aware that here you are arguing for criminal sanctions on the order of 10 years in prison, for writing a letter?

It's about writing a letter that can result in someone else receiving criminal sanctions on the order of 10 years in prison, when that someone might not have even written a letter.

Provably false is essential here.

> Unlike GNU Emacs, JOVE does not support UTF-8.

If this is still true in the latest versions, I find it pretty amazing that something like this has been maintained all the way until 2023.

Generally, yes: https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/timestamps/

Since the build is reproducible, it should not matter when it was built. If you want to trace a build back to its source, there are much better ways than a timestamp.
