They claim it has a haptic trackpad, so I don't think that's what most manufacturers use.

It was called Twitter for 17 years before being renamed in 2023. The Twitter domain still redirects to roughly the same site it was for all those years.

Why does it matter if someone still calls it Twitter?

the rest of it makes sense but what's the PLC for?

How do they have budget for this but not for decent production values on the Artemis 2 livestream?

I suppose by this logic, if someone was pressured by their parents to get good grades and struggled, it’s possible that “getting a good grade” would have a negative connotation / emotions response for them.

I'm not a lawyer but even if it was, eg. a year's salary at the time she accepted it, is that really a fair price for a lifetime of silence?

As a cynical person I assume all the frontier LLMs were trained on datasets that include every open source project, but as a thought experiment, if an LLM was trained on a dataset that included every open source project _execept_ chardet, do you think said LLM would still be able to easily implement something very similar?

As an aside, it’s crazy that Ray Ban would hitch their most valuable brand cachet to such a controversial wagon

Off topic but if anyone is looking for a nice web-GUI frontend for a locally-hosted transcription engine, Scriberr is nice

That's pretty cool. I'm guessing you're American, not Canadian, right? I didn't realize American schools had co-ops; I thought they mostly/solely had internships.

Yeah the first three paragraphs of the article really resonated strongly and then the fourth was an ad for mastodon, which is only slightly less bad IMHO.

You can get co-op/internship that requires a Top Secret clearance?

didn't mattermost recently make some changes to their license that put a bunch of features behind a paywall?

I can sort of understand this. There are certain songs, eg. a song from my wedding, that hit like a (good) ton of bricks every time I hear them, but I wouldn't want to listen to it every day because I feel like I would have more and more banal experiences cumulatively associating with the song until the wedding feeling becomes just one of many and starts to lose its association.

chatGPT 5.2 is smarmy, condescending and rude. the new personality is really grating and what's worse it seems to have been applied to the "legacy" 5.1 and 5.0 models as well.

Does a human review every sticker before it's ever shown to a child? If not, it's only a matter of time before the AI spits out something accidentally horrific.

It's too bad because it's such a great project otherwise. He puts a ton of free labour into the system and I'm sure he's dealt with some entitled users but it's really a huge reason I don't recommend it to more people. Actively telling people they must learn to solder and making the only support channel on telegram are two big turn-offs for a lot of people.

This is absolutely his right and perhaps his intention to keep the project small, but in that case I wish there was another alternative vacuum firmware project.

For ChatGPT you can turn this memory off in settings and delete the ones it's already created.

Same, I use chatgpt plus (the entry-level paid option) extensively for personal research projects and coding, and it seems miles ahead of whatever "Gemini Pro" is that I have through work. Twice yesterday, gemini repeated verbatim a previous response as if I hadn't asked another question and told it why the previous response was bad. Gemini feels like chatGPT from two years ago.

Peak swipe-to-text was on my HTC Desire circa 2010 using the third-party keyboard Swype. Everything since then has been a downgrade.

Aren't virtually all SBCs made in China?

A lot of the complaints here don't make a lot of sense and read like the author has never used an embedded linux device. The previously reported bugs are more substantial - hardcoded secrets for JWT access and firmware encryption, everything running as root, etc.

However, "Chinese product uses Chinese DNS servers and it's hard to change them" or "no systemd nor apt installed" are totally expected and hardly make it "riddled with security flaws". Same with tcpdump and aircrack being installed - these hardly compromise the security more than having everything run as root.

I would expect most users of this device will not be exposing the web interface externally, and the fact that they ship with Tailscale installed is actually impressive. I can't imagine the lack of CSRF protection will be a vulnerability for 99% of users.

I am curious what the "weird" version of wireguard the author refers to but based on their apparent lack of knowledge on embedded systems in general I would not be shocked to find that it's totally innocuous.

In some cases it even comes with similar outcomes on mood and mental health to what I imagine being stuck in traffic all day every day would do to a person

Obviously hindsight is 20/20 but this sentiment just reeks with comical levels of hubris

I like the car analogy for IQ. Having an engine with 50% or more horsepower above the people around you is only useful if you know how to handle it, how to steer, etc.

The transmission is another great analogy, IMHO for communication skills. Applying full power to the tarmac from a dead stop is a great way to spin your tires.

Does anyone really think it’s “if” and not “when” ?

Agreed; uncommonly good writing, especially for someone with a CS degree.

For anyone wondering, GOT is global offset table and PLT is procedure linkage table. gdb is the gnu debugger.

these are relevant if you, for some reason, want to write your own ELF parser, to load Linux executables without using the system loader.

it comes up fairly often when analyzing (or creating) advanced malware for linux

> The bans are being motivated largely by health professionals ringing all sort of alarm bells because mental health indicators paint a pretty dire picture. These are based on actual statistics and have been confirmed many times.

Do the stats prove that cell phones are the cause of the dire mental health indicators? Or at least that there is a correlation?
