221·11 days agoIt’s a goddamn stochastic parrot, starting from zero on each invocation and spitting out something passing for coherence according to its training set.
“Not understanding what is happening” in regards to AI is NOT “we don’t jniw how it works mechanically” it’s “yeah there are so many parameters, it’s just not possible to make sense of / keep track of them all”.
There’s no awareness or thought.
Last place of employment had
developas the default branch. Actually quite liked it. (There also was a main branch, which only got merged into as part of the release flow, so might as well have called itrelease, I suppose).Anyway, IMO it communicated “volatile and subject to change” a lot more clearly than things like “head of main” etc
Now THAT is something I wouldn’t ever trust.
8·19 days agoI bike (more carrying capacity) about 9km each direction. (Belgium to Germany, funnily enough.) That being said, not wanting to do so under the burning sun is absolutely valid.
Consider this me asking
Matrix fits the bill.
Unless you don’t like the federated nature.
Fair, maybe remove the question altogether, and have dedicated GOV endpoints for specific attestations?
While that’s true from a technical perspective…
How/where do you keep the certificate? If you either need an app for it, or need to manually install it on your device, most users would probably be out. The benefit of my suggestion is that you need absolutely nothing except a way to authenticate with GOV.
- is a Problem with all of these, that’s for sure.
I fjnt get the part about the info service tbh
As long as your browser saves an auth token or something for GOV somewhere, all of that can happen without user interaction.
I think that at the bare minumum, the PORN<->GOV connection must not occur. How about this (simplified):
- USER visits porn site
- PORN site encrypts random nonce + “is this user 18?” with GOV pubkey
- PORN forwards that to USER
- USER forwards that to GOV, together with something authenticating themselves (need to have GOV account)
- GOV knows user is requesting, but not what for
- GOV checks: is user 18?, concats answer with random nonce from PORN, hashes that with known algo, signs the entire thing with its private signing key
- GOV returns that to USER
- USER forwards that to PORN
- PORN is able to verify that whoever made the request to visit PORN is verified as older than 18 by singing key holder / GOV, by checking certificate chain, and gets freshness guarantee from random nonce
- but PORN does not know anything about the user
There’s probably glaring issues with this, this is just from the top of my head to solve the problem of “GOV should know nothing”.

I mean, yea. But it is also easy to buy them, they’re everywhere and fairly cheap. The Galbani one is also just 1€ or so more expensive.
To be clear, making your own is fantastic, it’s just not anything I’d want to do 2x/week
Mozzarella (talking about the balls of fresh mozzarella you get sealed in with their brine).
Can’t do store brand anymore after having tried Galbani.
3·2 months agoHow good is it with background activities?
About the only thing holding me back is that my phone runs a continuous glucose monitor, constantly connecting with a small sensor in my arm. That all quietly dying in the background would just… not be an option.
Neovim, because I wanted something that would not just disappear.
I never really got along with VSCode, opting for Atom instead. Microsoft bought GitHub, which owned Atom, and promptly discontinued it.
Nvim has such an active community (and no “owner”) that I’m certain that this won’t happen again. At the same time, the plugin system is so flexible that I’m also certain that I will never miss out on any shiny new features.
Over the years, my config has matured, and is mine. The thought of going back to an editor, any editor, less flexible in its configuration than nvim is just… an absolute “no”.
It’s a steep learning curve, but well worth it.
Yyyyyyupp
“Oh no, this device is rooted! :(” Yes because I know what I am doing, now show me my account balance you stupid piece of ahit banking app.
No.
Apart from everything else, also consider that it’s just respectful to at least try and learn the local language of wherever it is you are going. Doesn’t matter if it’s on vacation or long term company deployment.
Also, LLMs are absolute garbage at picking up on things like subtle language-based jokes, for example.

When we need to know each others location, we share it via element / matrix. Our own server, so no third party.
Happens maybe four times a year.
(Also, do you just always have location services enabled?? IMO it’s a battery drain, I pretty much only enable it for this and while I need to navigate)
