  • To be honest I'm more concerned by language-humor. Like not even saying what kind of humour, just any type of humour at all. Jokes are for adults only!

  • WWII sent a very clear message. You can annex Austria. You can invade Czechoslovakia. You can take over Lithunia. But you don't fuck with Poland

    Well, I mean, you can fuck with Poland a little bit. You just can't take over, like, too much of Poland.

  • Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT

  • Yeah during the reddit exodus, people were recommending to overwrite your comment with garbage before deleting it. This (probably) forces them to restore your comment from backup. But realistically they were always going to harvest the comments stored in backup anyway, so I don't think it caused them any more work.

    If anything, this probably just makes reddit's/SO's partnership more valuable because your comments are now exclusive to reddit's/SO's backend, and other companies can't scrape it.

  • Why the quotes?

    If you ever see quotation marks in a headline, it simply means they're attributing the word/phrase to a particular source. In this case, they're saying that the word "security" was used verbatim in the intranet document. Scare quotes are never used in journalism, so they're not implying anything by putting the word in quotation marks. They're simply saying that they're not paraphrasing.

  • After 48 years, Zilog is killing the classic standalone Z80 microprocessor chip

    Jump

  • The article mentions they'll continue making the eZ80. If you're in the middle of making a PCB around the Z80, you'll just have to change the pins, I guess.

  • Which communication protocol or open standard in software do you wish was more common or used more?

  • Heads up for anyone (like me) who isn't already familiar with SimpleX, unfortunately its name makes it impossible to search for unless you already know what it is. I was only able to track it down after a couple frustrating minutes after I added "linux" into the search on a lark.

    Anyway it's a chat protocol

    File Mutability and Why Unix-based systems are insecure

    Jump

  • Reminds me a little of the old Jonathan Shapiro research OSes (Coyotos, EROS, CapROS), though toned down a little bit. The EROS family was about eliminating the filesystem entirely at the OS level since you can simulate files with capabilities anyway. Serenum seems to be toning that down a little and effectively having file- or directory-level capabilities, which I think is sensible if you're going to have a capability-based OS, since they end up being a bit more user-visible as an OS.

    He's got the same problem every research OS has: zero software. He's probably smart to ditch the idea of hardware entirely and just fix on one hardware platform.

    I wish him luck selling his computer systems, but I doubt he's going to do very well. What would a customer do with one of these? Edit files? And then...edit them again? I guess you can show off how inconvenient it is to edit things due to its security.

    I just mean it's a bit optimistic to try and fund this by selling it. I understand he doesn't have a research grant, but it's clearly just a research OS.

  • The World’s E-Waste Has Reached a Crisis Point

    Jump

  • I feel like the answer is recycling deposits somehow. I've seen attempts at them here and there, but I guess we haven't quite figured out the details yet. I guess electronics are a bit trickier to set up a deposit system for than pop cans. Even the places that do have electronics deposits, often you have to drive to a special recycling centre out past the airport that's open 3 hours in the middle of the day, only for them to tell you that everything's glued together so they can't really separate out the parts they need and most of it will probably end up just going to the landfill anyway.

    But theoretically, if we could get a serious deposit system that allowed for recycling to be profitable and gave manufacturers and incentive for making their stuff easier to take apart and recycling (and hence easier to repair), that would be pretty sweet.

  • I'm guessing childless adults are significantly less than that. Just thinking about my kids and all of their book readers, barking animal toys, light-up fairy wands, I have a bad feeling they may be bringing up that average.

    Though the nice thing about kids' electronics is they never get obsoleted. A light-up fairy wand is just as fun in 2074 as it is in 2024. So they just get cycled through the 2nd hand mommy communities until they break. It was $40 new, you buy it "mostly undamaged" for $20, hope your kid doesn't scratch it too badly so you can sell it a couple years down the line for $10 or so.

    The bad thing about kids' electronics is it's that for new stuff, it's really impossible to tell how long it's going to last. Could be 20 years, could be 20 minutes.

  • Your Car Is Spying on You for Insurance Companies

    Jump

  • Sure! We can insure that for you! Oh we just noticed that our InsureLink service isn't connecting to your car. So I'll just need you to sign this waiver saying that you're declining the InsureLink Safety discount. Just sign right here. It's just saying that we cannot offer you all of our insurance services, just like if you get in an accident or something and we can't remotely verify what you were doing at the time, we can't help you. Great! And without the Safety discount your premiums will go up by only 372.50 a month.

    Well that sounds extremely familiar. Nice to see the spirit of Spectre is still living on. The holy grail of speculation without any timing attack leaks is still eluding us, I guess.
