Some other posts on the blog: "How educators use Claude", "Anthropic National Security". They know what they're doing here and good for them.

As a thought experiment, consider how much monetary loss and how much time wasted you would tolerate before "it's just money bro" starts wearing thin.

Search engines rank crappy inactive fandom wikis above official wiki.gg wikis.

This forum has been decreasing in quality since its inception, currently hovering at not-quite-reddit and that's with an organic audience of tech-adjacent posters. It would turn into a smoking hole in the ground if it somehow caught worldwide attention.

You're a fish swimming in fragile water you fail to appreciate.

Those seven billion people aren't very good for the most part, and include a critical mass of spectacularly awful people. It turns out that public access forums calibrated for the small and self-selected community of mostly high quality internet pioneers aren't prepared to deal with 1000000x expansion of reachable audience. The Eternal September effect has been getting stronger ever since it's first been observed.

Do you prefer to use tech presented by opaque committees with institutional funding, but only if they also consist of people you're acquainted with?

Does it really? Some classes of crime have been narrowed down to the same 50 individuals. You can't model car break-ins as everybody in the area rolling the dice on getting a taste for breaking glass and grabbing things.

You should go back and add error handling to your C programs

Unreasonable people can disagree on the exact threshold. Sometimes they decide that 10,000,000xers are out of reach, but gullible upper middle class schlubs like you and I are quite ripe for the looting.

What a strange thing to be disappointed in. Would you say you prefer the depressive part of the internet that has no interest in people?

Whoa, no need to get emotional. You're coming up with all these excuses and deflections against systematically consuming the benign and/or healthy canola oil. Why is that?

Yes, exactly! Science is a fantastic way to discover truths about reality and apply them to your own life. For example, putting 15 grams of canola oil in your daily breakfast cereal.

I think you should try eating three teaspoons of heart-healthy canola oil with breakfast and document the results to dunk on garbage science peddlers.

Any charges for sexual assault against children?

Real Journalism Has Never Been Tried

I see a few comments responding with sputtering outrage. Could you explain why you experience such a reaction?

This is an ad for a startup that is hiring a "founding engineer" with a "competitive compensation package". Are you so excited about the mission that you'll work toward it for free, anon?

That's why they're running the beta test, to tune the filters.

Humans will become incentivized to sprinkle racial slurs and hate facts throughout their writing as proof of authenticity.

That's a blast from the past. Incredible that 10 years ago people thought using a thread per request is a good idea because anything else is too hard.

They're not rationalizations. They're implementation choices under legal, engineering and product constraints. In particular, Paramount and CBC allow themselves to use HLS encryption forbidden under typical content protection contracts.

That's an interesting perspective. Some corrections are in order.

MP4 encryption, specifically Common Encryption addition to ISO BMFF has two levels of partial encryption.

- Each frame's media bytes are encrypted independently of other frames. MP4 boxes themselves are not encrypted. This is done so that applications can parse container metadata such as codec params and timestamps without depending on the secure decrypt and decode layer.

- Each frame consists of codec protocol messages such as NAL Units for H.264 and HEVC, OBUs for AV1, and uncompressed and compressed headers and tile headers for VP9. Subsample encryption leaves message headers unencrypted, but encrypts their contents. This is done for efficiency of the secure decode hardware. Clear and encrypted byte ranges are stored in MP4 boxes.

MP4 encryption of course fully supports HEVC using both mechanisms.

Widevine in general supports HEVC. The Widevine module in Chrome has to include a decoder for each supported codec. They probably skipped HEVC to avoid increasing download size for users.

Using the energy policy to stay elected instead of keeping her people from freezing to death isn't exactly to Merkel's credit.

No, the best deal would have been to ramp up nukes and lay off the green ideology crackpipe. She doesn't get credit for choosing the path of least resistance and putting Germany on its current disastrous path.

You Can Help By Expanding It. People with user-level access to our systems are becoming less trustworthy. You can tell because abuses used to never ever happen at all.

All of those things you listed have happened and continue to happen. Now what?

what's proper infection control?

Getting your computer hacked is a contagious disease. From there, attackers can infest other machines and run social engineering attacks against your friends. Maintainers of popular open source projects are super-spreaders. They can infect a huge number of other people.

2FA is a vaccine that mitigates or prevents spread of this disease. It is unconscionably selfish to refuse to harden your accounts just because it's a little inconvenient to you.
