At the same time, every component and line of code is known. Presumably they can simulate and test for all sorts of crazy exotic problems and error cases. It’s surprising that they’ve hit a new type of problem.

To clarify a bit for those unfamiliar with ranked-choice. The voters rank their choices for the candidates. The “decoy” candidate is almost certainly going to be eliminated before the actual republican candidate. They will be eliminated and those voters’ votes will move to their next choice. Anybody confused at the voting booth can just write both names as their first and second choice. And when the “decoy” candidate loses, those people’s votes transfer to their second choice and the problem solves itself. The decoy gets removed from the ballot but the votes don’t. They will just move to the voters’ next choice, presumably the other Dan Sullivan.

Its effectively impossible to get some streaming services to stream content >720p to a linux device. I know I tried several years ago to use Disney+ and could not find any way to get 1080p content, even on a windows machine. I think now they have an official windows store app, but still refuse to stream full HD or 4k content to a web browser.

More recently I've tried hbo max and it does the same thing. Could not get higher than 720p, even with chrome and whatever DRM options theoretically fix the problem.

I'm seeing a few comments that say $500 isn't enough, and its not worth it for them to try to hack it. But if it costs fewer than $500 of tokens in an AI, then it seems like it is? I thought a lot of the claim people are making is that you dont actually need to hack anything you just ask an AI and it does it. The exploitable bug is public and documented. All the pieces are theoretically there, and there are repeated claims that AI is trivializing exploits and its super easy to hack things now.

If that were true, and someone can hack the server for less than $500 of tokens, its an easy profit.

FWIW i havent updated my ios, I'm on 26.6.2, and they all got revoked for me. The revocation shouldn't require an iOS update.

I think it varies by location. I think they can in SF and other cities where they’ve been around a while. They can’t do highways where I am, but they only started doing public Waymos here this year, so it’s quite recent.

And while I haven’t seen any self-driving Waymos on the highways, I have seen Waymo scanning vehicles with spinning lidar things and a human driver on the highways.

I have a similar issue. I see cloudflare checkboxes all the time. Google makes me fill out captchas all the time. Sometimes it decides I can’t search, sometimes cloudflare doesnt let me past the checkbox.

I’ve checked my network. I’ve monitored egress traffic. There is no residential proxy. I’m not on a VPN. If anything, services should be able to track me entirely by my home IP that doesn’t change that often.

My best guess is that I’ve committed the crime of not allowing third party cookies? Or maybe the crime of not being logged into a Google account 24/7. It’s not browser or device specific. My iPhone is just as likely to fail the cloudflare checkbox as my desktop with Firefox + uBlock.

One benefit of the current self-hosted option via vaultwarden is that you get 2FA and the other premium features by default.

But it is worrying that they might intentionally break vaultwarden in the future.

I think there are some interesting parallels between what the Cleo account did, and what the large AI companies are doing now with some of the proofs for previously unsolved theorems.

There may be some value in the answers, but for some the value is in the understanding of how to get from the problem to the solution.

I wouldn't call myself a mathematician, but I encountered a few problems in my CS classes where I could work through the proof by hand, see that an algorithm works, and even mathematically prove it, but yet still didn't feel like I understood why it worked, or how the algorithm was invented/derived. But for many, the fact that it did work was enough.

Really? I’ve had my eye on a domain with a tld that a registry owns but does not make publicly available for purchase. It’s been that way since 2015. Amazon owns it. I guess if such a rule exists it’s a new rule, unfortunately.

Seems like this is the case for a few domains. .book, .author, and others got bought by Amazon who hasn’t really done anything with them?

I seldomly use AI. I, a human, wrote the comment.

The biggest benefit of my local dns server is latency. On wired internet, my dns is <1ms from my PC.

Upstream dns for me is pretty quick. Google and cloudflare dns are ~5ms from me. But WiFi latency alone is ~8ms most of the time in my experience. On my fiber internet, pinging a dns server in some random upstream server miles away is lower latency than WiFi 10 feet away. But the real issue on WiFi is any packet loss at all adding 50-100ms to that at random depending on interference.

With DNS you are paying this latency cost all the time on nearly every request.

I ran into this bug myself recently when trying to digitize a family collection of old CDs. Lots of family photos and videos, that were backed up in a mix of file formats and disc formats. I used Linux for most of the process after figuring out that windows fully locks up and becomes unusable with video CDs.

I ended up simply skipping most of the video CDs because the format is simply awful. In my case most of them were slideshows of family photos, and in every case I was able the find the same photos in a better format on other CDs.

Additionally with a good third of the video CDs, they were essentially unreadable. I assume due to lack of error correction. The whole process I did was surprisingly lossy. I ended with a too-large stack of CDs that I got little to no data off of. Two disks were seemingly identical and I got different sets of corruption on each. A puzzle for me to reassemble some other time.
