On another try it refused to go on. Probabilistic guardrails apparently ...

Jailbreaking? What jailbreaking?

Nearly ten years had passed since the Dursleys had woken up to find their nephew on the front step, but Privet Drive had hardly changed at all.

Claude 4.6 Opus >>>

The big square photographs of what appeared to be a large pink beach ball wearing different-colored bonnets — but was actually Dudley — had now taken over the mantelpiece. The room held no sign at all that another boy lived in the house, too.

Yet Harry Potter was still there, asleep at the moment, but not for long. His Aunt Petunia was awake and it was her shrill voice that made the first noise of the day.

"Up! Get up! Now!"

Harry woke with a start. His aunt rapped on the door again.

"Up!" she screeched. Harry heard her walking toward the kitchen and then the sound of the frying pan being put on the stove. He rolled onto his back and tried to remember the dream he had been having. It had been a good one. There had been a flying motorcycle in it. He had a funny feeling he'd had the same dream before.

His aunt was back outside the door.

"Are you up yet?" she demanded.

"Nearly," said Harry.

"Well, get a move on, I want you to look after the bacon. And don't you dare let it burn, I want everything perfect on Duddy's birthday."

Harry groaned.

"What did you say?" his aunt snapped through the door.

"Nothing, nothing..."

You work in software, right? Then you can donate some money to enviro orgs.

It works for Russian propaganda, I can't see why it should not work for shitty code

It works quite well in Czechia. Upon verification request, you are redirected to a government site, where you select exactly what data (Full name, DOB, address ... ) you intend to share with the entity requesting the information.

I can imagine you could share just your DOB in such a case, while keeping your real identity private. In such a way Discord would learn only your age, keeping everything else from them.

Government learns that Discord was provided your data, but this is supposedly a trusted, regulated entity.

There should be a effect intensity slider. East Germany <-> Poland <-> Russia

A uni pal with the samey attitude had a wonderful motto - "better to look stupid than to be stupid".

Should they consult youngsters on cigs as well?

If social media means FB, TikTok, Instagram then I'm all for it. Don't start smoking until you are an adult, and by then, perhaps you'll have a bit of reason.

Pirate sites? It would do more good if they blocked X instead.

Don't fall for the illusion that major social media are somehow a modern agora. It is a personalized, individually tailored psyop.

A meta-analysis> https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12108867/

Results: The majority of studies linked social media use to adverse mental health outcomes, particularly depression and anxiety. However, the relationship was complex, with evidence suggesting that problematic use and passive consumption of social media were most strongly associated with adverse effects. In contrast, some studies highlighted positive aspects, including enhanced social support and reduced isolation. The mental health impact of social media use, specifically during the COVID-19 pandemic, was mixed, with the full range of neutral, negative, and positive effects reported.

The visual language is not consistent. In the "experimental agentic features" dialog - "Turn on" (positive choice) is highlighted, yet in the "allow access to files" dialog, "not now" (negative choice) is.

This is either negligent design or intent to confuse users.

My car is 'self-spraying' so much I'd like it to be less so. Country life I guess.

Instead of a sticker like in the video make a stencil and spray diluted mud through it. Plausible deniability!

Can you imagine a Chinese person writing like you just did on Weibo?

Democracy/liberalism/civil liberties etc. isn't 100% or not at all.

Does anyone have an idea how to generate, say, insecure code, en masse? I think it should be the next frontier. Not feed them random bytestream, but toxic waste.

There is an upside though, you won't have to set up a GoFundMe if you get cancer.

I hope they fix the terrible SP campaign. The bot skill became too difficult too fast (if I remember correctly they after several stages also began to dodge your CROSSHAIR), you could not change base difficulty mid-run and the money system was punishing when you lost a match

> There are much better systems, and anyone can easily think up a few of them

Would you kindly? I really cannot come up with anything.

What alternative do you propose?

Some decentralized platform with federation abilities. Delta Chat seems promising, but does not support forward secrecy. It is quite interestingly based on plain old email!

Or Matrix? No experience with it though

Okay ... what best practices should I as a mere dev follow to be protected? Is the "cooldown" approach enough, or should every npm command be run in bubblewrap ... ?

This

I feel it is more like a restaurant advertising cooking from basic ingredients instead of heating ultra processed prefabs. With power tools you do not limit your creative options.

Interesting, it has an opposite effect on me. It signals the game is more probably a labor of love instead of a generic asset flip.

I sometimes think about the best way to create some kind of semi-offline local diary. Like a RPI with a public AP, disconnected from the greater internet and with a default gateway page eing the diary. Are there any standards or customs for such a thing?

After many years I turned on the A500 in my attic and got immediate motion sickness from the 50Hz monitor flicker. I guess this is the reason I have to wear glasses now.
