So much is missing (e.g. "Group of Seven" yields nonsensical results). Nice idea, but probably needs a couple of orders of comprehensiveness to be anything close to justifying it's name :-)
This is not a fix per se, just one way to mitigate the issue until older PHP versions are updated and/or one uses this CVE as the final motivation to update those really old PHP sites ... :-)

The thesis being that if you can pack multiple models onto a single GPU, you can actually increase processing capacity with a fixed amount of hardware.

Emacs text interface, Emacs GUI interface, and ... sorry what's the third one?
:-)
One unique idea for solving the chip shortage: pack more models into each existing GPU by having them share the resources. :-)

He is charged with obstruction, but under domestic terrorism (as defined by a national security presidential memorandum).
According to the article, he was actually using GrapheneOS and gave the border official the Duress PIN. So I guess technically it was the official that erased the data :-)

Depends on what qualifies as a password "manager", but I've been using pass (
https://www.passwordstore.org/) for years on multiple desktops, and have recently added iOS app sepass to my setup (
https://sepass.modiot.com/).
Quite complicated to get it all setup (definitely not for non-technical users), but both are GPL and I now have all my passwords available with hardware protection (yubikey on desktop, secure enclave on iOS) in all locations.
Hi HN. We use YubiKeys on desktops/laptops with pass/password-store, and have been fiddling with various ways to get them to work on our phones and tablets for a long time. Sort of dawned on us that since the Apple secure enclave gives the same sort of "non-extractable" protection as a YubiKey does, we could just use that. Paired with touch/face-id, seems like a pretty good YubiKey alternative for a mobile app. Since we could not find an iOS password-store client that uses the secure enclave, we wrote one.
Bit of a fiddly setup process (see https://github.com/modiotlabs/sepass#using-the-app), but otherwise we're finding it very useful.
Really appreciate any feedback on this, especially potential vulnerabilities or weak approaches we are taking. We are not full-time cryptography/security experts, so would particularly like to see a hearty critique of how we've gone about this from anyone who is.

Thanks.
Not the original author, but I agree completely with the sentiment that it is good way to get across what's special about Emacs in a relatively short amount of time.

It's wild to me Time Machine works on your network. Are you just doing "first backups" over and over again, or have you somehow achieved the very rare state where Time Machine can run for, say, a week at a time without falling over?
Sorry, this is snarky and off topic, but I'm nostalgic for the days when Time Machine "just worked".

And then in vim you can spawn a shell to run ... oh, never mind.
Free software has never mattered more.
All the infrastructure that runs the whole AI-over-the-internet juggernaut is
essentially all open source.
Heck, even Claude Code would be far less useful without grep, diff, git, head, etc., etc., etc. And one can easily see a day where something like a local sort Claude Code talking to Open Weight and Open Source models is the core dev tool.
The power generated from Niagara river stations was traveling on an international "grid" between Canada and the US in the late 1890s.
Man, how could they not wait 2.5 weeks until April 1 !!!

The "watch" method is so awesome:
mpv https://live0.emacsconf.org/gen.webm
I used Emacs for several years before I discovered "project" (it's built in). If you're navigating dired trees or similar to find files or grep for strings in groups of files, this is like magic:
C-x p f (find any file in the current "project", e.g. git repo)
C-x p v (grep the whole project super fast)
It's embarrassing how long it took me to realize it was there all along. :-)
