Me neither. I'm sending words of support, because I don't know why you're downvoted.

I assume parent's post is sarcasm, but I'm not 100% sure - I know there are people who hold similar views unironically.

What about resources needed to make the machine?

netcat+mkfifo does the actual transfer with TCP - so there's no tunneling involved. This solution tunnels tcp through file abstraction, so it works significantly differently.

As for the uses, see the three author listed. For example, by using a file share as transport you may evade firewall.

Is there a reason why you don't? Is it just general bitterness and cynicism? As far as I know all major search engines respect rebots.txt, I don't see why LLM scrappers would be different.

>How can corporations be stealing anything from an open source project?

The code is published using some license that allows some use cases and prohibits other. For example GPL is famous for being viral. Using it to teach a LLM that spits "unlicensed" code is basically laundering copyright.

I like that it immediately assumed the US, even though nothing in your question suggested it. I love that all LLMs have a strong US centric bias.

Btw I'm not personally a lawyer, but I've heard that GPT is especially prone to mixing laws across the borders - for example you ask a law question in language X, and get a response that uses a law from a country Y - and it's extremally convincing doing that (unless you're a lawyer, I guess).

Would it be better if he got 100% of votes for him? He was the only candidate, nothing most people working there could go.

Well, maybe I'm biased - I've tested a 120Hz monitor recently and I legitimately didn't see a huge difference between 60Hz. Maybe in mouse trails when I was intentionally looking for the difference. I can't imagine how insignificant the change to 1Khz would be for me. But I'm not a gamer and I've spent my whole life on screens like this, so maybe I'm just blind and other people are much more sensitive to this - in this case I agree my analogy doesn't make sense.

But there are safety concerns, and it's not possible to go 1000km/h on the highway. So there's not much point in having a 1000km/h car, because you will never use its full potential. Just like a 1khz display (supposedly).

I didn't get the impression from the blog post that island evacuation happens every few weeks. In fact, "first" suggest something opposite of that is true. Can you explain why you consider this even normal, obvious and happening regularly?

I appreciate the downvotes, but I'm honestly looking forward to hearing a better alternative (than helping Ukraine financially and with weapon shipments). I imagine people expressing "anti-war" opinions live far away from the frontline, don't have to worry about their country being next, and it's easy for them to say "just end the war". But maybe I'm wrong. So please when downvoting also spare a minute to share what your preferred solution is.

>The only way forward is to not participate and/or burn it all down and start from scratch.

You can't honestly suggest that. From where? "village or small community" level?

>If they would even be caught by this at all to start with.

I doubt it. Teenagers sending each other naked pics, maybe (but after the law passes they will know they have no privacy and will stop doing that. I fear what awareness of constant surveillance does to a young brain). The actual pedophiles were always on top of their opsec game. In this case it sounds like they just need to opt-out of scanning and send each other obfuscated links or base64 encoded encrypted zip files in text? This is child's play, there were highly sophiasticated pedophile groups using tor-only infrastructure with forced opsec and rotating identifies every month. They never trusted mainstream chat apps, and they won't be affected. This only makes it possible to track regular people.

Right now they live off donations (including mine) and I won't donate if they commercialize. Also, there's no easy way to monetize on users without ads, and I'm pretty sure signal users are one of the last demographics to fall for "privacy preserving ads".

I want the war in Ukraine to end, and. There are two options: to let Putin get what he want and risk my country being next, and to help Ukraine. Do you have other suggestions? Of course I would love it if Russia tomorrow decided to say "whoops sorry that was an accident" and retreated, but I find this highly unlikely.

>Outside of tyrannies it’s ok to ask questions.

Ok, a specific example: by a weird twist of fate, my country outlawed abortion (in most cases). Currently it's easy for affected women to travel somewhere and get help. Some people don't like it. With widespread tracking, it will be possible to target and punish women for breaking the law by getting abortion.

I agree, and that's a major part of why I use Signal, but I just want to say that most of my friends (and even family) use Signal, so at this point it's also a network effect for me.

Where are you living, if you don't mind sharing? I don't know about any place where expressing eurosceptic views would get you called "far right", let alone a Nazi.

And I disagree. You take for granted all the good regulating and all the things enabled by the EU, and focus on the one bad regulation we're discussing, which is not even a law yet. I, personally, am not looking forward to the future without EU (I remember my country before it joined and the progress is immense).

I pay ~0.10€ for a text message - but I don't know anyone who uses text messages for communication so it's not a problem. I could buy a cheap plan for unlimited text messages, but I don't want a fixed monthly fee and prefer prepaid.

He didn't say it's good or even tolerable, just that it happened for at least 15 years already (and probably more).

Strong disagree.

>it's a poor use of my time.

You state this as a fact, but it's it really true? Is "a years-deep backlog of papercut bugfixes" really that important? I don't think so, the bugs have waited for 4 years already, they can wait another year.

In contrast, good technical blog posts bring actual value to the world. You share your hard earned knowledge with others[1] - imagine how much poorer the world (or HN frontpage) would be if nobody wrote blog posts.

Blog posts also bring marketing value to your company (way more value than fixing the css bug in privacy policy that was filed 3 years ago), and bring value to you (by allowing you to self-promote).

I'm not saying everyone should write - I do it because I like it, and my job is in large part research so I have insights/stories to share. But claiming you don't do it because it's a poor use of your time is - in my opinion - an excuse .

[1] Assuming you have something to write about, instead of writing yet another post about a well covered topic, like "introduction to C++". In this case I agree, that - unless your approach is really novel - it's pointless.

Why can't it just get funding from the government?

>Just let the kids play outside.

I did, most of my young life, and I'm still myopic. This can't be so easy

>I don't think it will be long before you can trust a model more than a human expert.

You will never be able to trust a LLM more than a human expert. Because human expert will use the best available tools (for example, LLMs), will understand "what the client wants" and will put the data in the right context. At best human expert and LLM will be indistinguishable, but I really doubt it. And I think it will take a long time.

At least it's my opinion, we'll see what happens.

Spotify is an European company. Here it's normal to send people your bank account number, you put it on invoices, on your company website, etc. I assume someone who invented this process assumed this is normal everywhere (I learned today that in USA it isn't).

Weird premise. I search for random hex literally all the time (checking hashes and guessing algorithms as a part of my reverse engineering work) and I don't remember car dealers coming up especially often. I suspect it's just the author who - because of their location or the previous search history - gets more targetted car dealership ads.

I like the first blog - it's reasonably sceptical about the method and just describes their experience. The author seems scientifically minded, and doesn't promise more than they can.

The second link directs to a website about parascience (which it is, but without self awareness of the first link) that tries to convince me that glasses are just a devilish trick opticians made up:

>Nearsightedness Is Not An Illness (But A $100 Billion Business)

Please. Strong turn off for me.

>published alongside a copy of the Apache 2.0 license (intended for the document warehouse API SDK), which officially sanctioned freely copying and using the code. So there is really nothing Google can do about it.

This sounds good to us, tech nerds, but I'm pretty sure law doesn't work like this.

At minimum, even if (clearly accidentally) putting a code next to a open source license world be legally binding, the person doing the leaking was not the intellectual property owner. Google will just - correctly - say, that the person that leaked the code had no right to do so, especially under free license.

Are you GenZ? Because the OP is about GenZ. It's highly possible that we're out of touch and they think differently :).

It's much worse, because even if you detect the malwar after a few hours it's still enough for it to steal all your past recording.

But to be honest nobody in the malware world cares about your screen unless you're a president or CEO. They will just steal your passwords, and either encrypt your disk or use you as a residential proxy.
