Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
It seems more likely to me that the administration and various 3 letter agencies couldn’t connect the dots with the information they had, rather than a vast conspiracy of them enabling or orchestrating the terrorist event that makes them look stupid, and then getting everyone involved to stay silent for 25+ years.
LLMs are just a tool, just like airplanes or hammers. An airplane is very expensive, but better at going really far distances than humans can on foot. A hammer is cheaper than a human, but by itself is useless unless operated properly. Despite the tone of the outputs, LLMs should not be authoritative and human judgement shouldn’t be replaced with them.
Just on the security side of coding, highly skilled security engineers at Mozilla were able to use Claude Mythos to identify and address many issues to make Firefox more secure. Some if these issues were introduced over 10 years ago, and a human could have identified and fixed them but human speed of reading and finding will always be a bottleneck. Having highly skilled humans offload the slow task to go through the codebase and raise issues, allowed them to find and understand the nuanced problem, and work on a fix. The key here is giving the people with the skills the ability be enhanced with LLMs, not replace them with one.
I see, admittedly I didn’t check too closely but see what you’re saying now. I’ve had good luck with this app for tracking other BLE devices around. FWIW the MAC address filter takes a wild card value (using *), but I’m not too familiar with how the manufacturer ID and MAC address manufacturer prefix are related, if at all. Anyway, all this to say that while the NoPeek app is focused on just smart glasses, other apps exist that have similar functionality, and are easier to install.
If you go to Radar Alerts, set the filter to use the manufacturer. The readme in OPs GitHub page lists these manufacturers: https://github.com/getnopeek/nopeek-android#️-devices-detected
why does this need to be a separate app? There are other Bluetooth apps which will notify you when it sees a device with a mac address and will record the signal strength and keep a record on a map. Just add a profile to those apps for the manufacturer mac prefix.
Seriously this. The success of a public service shouldn’t be how much revenue is generated or shareholder value is gained. We as a society are the shareholders and deserve infrastructure that works for us. Corporations have pushed the idea that lower taxes is better, but when you have to spend more to a company to get basic necessities, you’re not really coming out on top buddy.
FWIW, if you suspect your machine has been compromised, the binaries for common tools like ps and top shouldn’t be relied upon since those probably were tampered with to hide the malicious program from the output. At that point, you’d probably want to check each running process manually under /proc/.
Relevant XKCD https://xkcd.com/2501/
There are plenty of python libraries which have compiled components, such as pandas, which is compiled on install via pip install. Some package managers have precompiled binaries, but you would need to make sure you have the right version for the project.
My thoughts exactly, can’t weigh an opinion on the quality unless I see it for myself.
I don’t see how it could federate unless the other lemmy instances are on I2P also. This seems more like an isolated/standalone idea for an instance
IMO, you can only be considered a fan if you have one or more blades that are angled in such a way so that they push air in one direction to create a current of air for cooling or ventilation.
On the bright side, they’re unlikely to see a penny from it, and have incurred lawyer costs and time.
Another situation is multi-episode releases. I remember first encountering this with LOST where the 2h season finale would be listed as two separate episodes, which for a season finale wasn’t too annoying. More recently, later seasons of The Good Place would air two episodes at a time, and that always caused a mess as well that required manual intervention sometimes.
How does Lemmy prevent this?
And if you comply with unjust laws, then it’s way harder to challenge them in the courts.
This is one of the most sensible comments in the thread. The law is the problem. This is something which should have been self regulated by websites themselves, but Meta lobbied for laws like this so they wouldn’t have to police it. The law making this mandatory for everyone when this should be a parental control is the issue.
IMO the benefit and curse is you could fork it, maintain it, patch it yourself, etc if you wanted, but then its a full time job keeping it up to date with changes. As others have pointed out, this is a decisive change, so a fork probably wouldn’t be a solo project, but the bifurcation in development would be a large impact, slowing development in other fixes and features.
Funny Games shouldn’t really count because it’s the same director with an actual budget to do what he wanted to do in the first place.
