forkerenok··on NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook
I wondered when the name change was coming because this is Google: products be endlessly repackaged and renamed, some only to be killed later.
forkerenok··on Apache Shiro security framework releases 3.0.0
In my junior-to-mid days (ca. 2010) Apache Shiro seemed like a breath of fresh air compared to Spring Security in terms of ease of integration.

Good to see it's still around.

forkerenok··on Humiliating IIS servers for fun and jail time
Heyyy what's wrong with novel groupwise?
forkerenok··on Iroh 1.0
Besides the novel/different form of addressing Reticulum pretty much imposes its Zen on users. So in a lot of things where Reticulum is quite dogmatic, something like Iroh I'd assume (if it's reaching corporates) would provide more flexibility. I haven't checked out the source though.

As an example, AFAIK, Reticulum encrypts packet origin, so only recipient can see them. I don't think this is admissible in a corporate network.

forkerenok··on MeshCore development team splits over trademark dispute and AI-generated code
Fair enough and apologies. Justified or not, I took the comment I was replying to out of context of the current (MeshCore, LoRa) topic.

I was referring to the TCP/IP, I2P and yggdrasil endpoints. And regardless, "tons" was an unnecessary exaggeration.

forkerenok··on MeshCore development team splits over trademark dispute and AI-generated code
There's a maturing implementation of the whole stack in go, so this is not far off.
forkerenok··on MeshCore development team splits over trademark dispute and AI-generated code
There are tons of entry points available now [0], and I get thousands of announcements every day.

https://rmap.world/

It's so much fun with little pages, message boards and random people hitting you up for a chat. I brought up my own transport node and propagation node too to contribute to the mesh.

forkerenok··on NSA is using Anthropic's Mythos despite blacklist
You're obviously trolling. Those are called "truths", and you know it!
forkerenok··on Is Germany's gold safe in New York ?
If they don't want to push down the prices with excess supply, they'd have to sell very slowly. Like France did.
forkerenok··on Windows 95 defenses against installers that overwrite a file with an older one
OMG, is this the reason why every other installer would get stuck at 99% forever? :D
forkerenok··on ChatGPT won't let you type until Cloudflare reads your React state
We're discussing the quality of screening here, not the act/necessity of screening itself.
forkerenok··on I tried to prove I'm not AI. My aunt wasn't convinced
Wow, this is an interesting one! Thanks for the reference.
forkerenok··on I tried to prove I'm not AI. My aunt wasn't convinced
> At first, my aunt wasn't buying that any AI was involved. [...] There was a long pause. "I was like 90% sure," she said, hesitating. "But that sounded more artificial."

There is a thing about many people. I don't remember the phenomenon's name, if it has one, but it goes like this:

Given enough time to reconsider options, people will be endlessly flip-flopping between them grabbing onto various features over and over in a loop.

forkerenok··on Jury finds Meta liable in case over child sexual exploitation on its platforms
Meta is like one giant cancer that grew a few small tumors of benign[1] nature, like some of their efforts in open source and open research (React, Llama, etc.).

[1]: I could be wrong thinking those are benign.

forkerenok··on Why I forked httpx
What's the drama around starlette? (Can't find anything)
forkerenok··on Show HN: Swarm – Program a colony of 200 ants using a custom assembly language
It's assembly for people who can code good.. and can do other things good too.
forkerenok··on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable
Why? Multiple times in the last 8 or so years I've considered both Nokia (HMD) and Motorola. Looking at reviews and specs I decided every time in favor of Motorola, despite liking the design of Nokia's more, and didn't regret it.
forkerenok··on Pebble Production: February Update
I wouldn't put in the same league as pebble, but it definitely ticks the boxes:

Battery life is real.

forkerenok··on Influencers and OnlyFans models are dominating U.S. O-1 visa requests
I can easily see how 3 of the 4 categories mentioned here could fit.
forkerenok··on Evanston orders Flock to remove reinstalled cameras
> This decision came after Illinois Secretary of State [...] discovered that Flock had allowed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to access Illinois cameras in a “pilot program” against state law, and after the RoundTable reported in June that out-of-state law enforcement agencies were able to search Flock’s data for assistance in immigration cases.

This illustrates the textbook argument for why mass surveillance is bad: these tools can quickly end up in the wrong hands.

Play silly games, win silly prizes.

forkerenok··on Learning lessons from the loss of the Norwegian frigate Helge Ingstad
> There was a reliance on visual cues for too long and ironically the accident would probably have never happened if the visibility had been poor.

Ironic indeed.

The incident reconstruction video a bit further down the article is well done:

forkerenok··on LunarEngine: An open source, Roblox-compatible game engine
"Popular kids game Roblox faces pressure over allegations of child predators on its platform":

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/shows/t...

I read your comment carefully to see whether you've taken the GP's joke further, but alas :)

forkerenok··on Critical Cache Poisoning Vulnerability in Dnsmasq
I thought they have accidentally "responsibly disclosed" the vulnerability directly into a public mailing list, but the attached pdf is dated >3 months ago.

So assume it's a bit of an inaccurate phrasing.

EDIT: nope, the email itself seeks disclosure coordination etc. So yeah, oops.

forkerenok··on Sign in with Google in Chrome
> the number of new sign ups went up 8x overnight.

What's the number if you adjust for quality of signups? E.g. how many people convert and how many people stay on and convert later.

forkerenok··on At last, a use case for AI agents with sky-high ROI: Stealing crypto
> The findings exposes a troubling asymmetry: at 0.1% vulnerability rates, attackers achieve an on-chain scanning profitability at a $6000 exploit value, while defenders require $60000, raising fundamental questions about whether AI agents inevitably favor exploitation over defense.

Seems not that good of thing on the balance :)

forkerenok··on Launch HN: Issen (YC F24) – Personal AI language tutor
I see some rough edges typical to LLM-powered products, but this is still a fantastic tool!

I think it needs push-to-talk mode, because it's picking up every surrounding noise.

forkerenok··on Claude Code does our releases now
The sibling comment from M4v3R covered this well.
forkerenok··on Data Compression Nerds Hate This One Trick [video]
This is the website of the presented project for those who prefer text:

https://qoiformat.org/

An interesting and somewhat inspiring bit of trivia from the video: the creator barely understands modern image compression techniques (from their own words), but this hasn't stopped them from coming up with that impressive result.

forkerenok··on Mathematical Foundations of Reinforcement Learning
Would you mind explicitly indicating whether you have reviewed the submitted materials? And if so, why is it inferior to the material you linked?

Not trying to catch you, genuine interest.

forkerenok··on Multiple Russia-aligned threat actors actively targeting Signal Messenger
The article says they phish people into linking adversarial devices to their Signal:

> [...] threat actors have resorted to crafting malicious QR codes that, when scanned, will link a victim's account to an actor-controlled Signal instance. If successful, future messages will be delivered synchronously to both the victim and the threat actor in real-time, [...]
