Maybe, but the camera software would need to support it, and at that point it might as well be in the OS
C2PA would use signing, but even having signing at all would be useful. Sony signs with a Sony key, and that goes into c2pa. Having a public or uploadable key would be nice
Odd to have a modern camera released without photo signing

“The best camera is the one you have”, in this case if you still want a device, so the phone isn’t a potential distraction, the xteink are nice and can easily fit in the same pocket as a phone. Currently reading Neuromancer on mine

Tie this into the Apple/Android/Sony/Leica signed photos, and you get provenance from capture to publish

I stopped paying for or using Mullvad because of that. I have no intention of funding more nazis, when I can help it

This isn’t in any of the books
If hammer companies were suddenly the most valuable international companies, and spent millions on ad campaigns and lobbying about trusting the hammer interface, then you can assume a large amount of people might trust the hammer interface
The masses may be annoying, and even sometimes hyperbolic, but they are nowhere near as bad as the CEO
This assumes the platforms either allow such curation or respect it, which instagram and TikTok famously don’t

It is extremely difficult to justify fake beef that costs more than real beef. Maybe for a niche group who care about the ethics of it, but they aren’t enough to support a market. Once fake beef costs 80% or less than real beef, it could get some traction
This is literally what 10xmanagement.com does. They operate as a talent agent, do contract negotiation, handle payment, etc. The main drawback is they keep a relatively tight roster (to make sure the work is consistent) and they take 25%

Would something like this then be able to interface with Rust codebases?

I am also curious about this. I have worked with wasm and rust, but this product seems alien and fascinating to me

Well, in the Reddit case, they used to have APIs you could build free, OSS clients against, and specifically removed it

I have noticed them change driving style over time in SF, so I would imagine they would adjust to a city over time as well

Some mosquitoes just itch way less, to the point where it isn’t really noticeable
Re:Go experts: 'I don't want to maintain AI-generated code' on Sunday September 28, 2025 @05:06PM (#45408005)
The lack of opinion might benefit an LLM. Go is boring and verbose, not much room for cleverness. The code generated by AI or a human will probably be similar
Not sure, but I believe that they were using some proprietary system to account for wind/temp, because over that distance they will have a massive impact. Adjustments via drone likely just means they used a drone to get a better idea of adjustments for follow up shots. I would imagine that the rifle was even held by a device to make more precise micro adjustments

Assuming his rifle was factory accurate to 1/2 MOA and he made zero shooter related inconsistencies, and all environmental factors between the shooter and the target were accounted for, at 4km he would expect to hit inside of a 60cm diameter circle

Shots like this are mostly luck

A more honest approach would be to require a signup before an action takes place. Letting a user do some things, get invested, and then drop a signup requirement on them is a dark pattern
So you won’t even be able to isolate devices to your home network anymore, they will be phoning home by satellite

Zero knowledge proofs are basically arbitrary proof of work models. There is some interesting work being done with MPC and ZK proving, so only a small part needs to live on the client. I wonder if this would make it feasible again
You would likely be unhappy if you saw the outcomes of almost all vehicle manslaughter cases. It’s the easiest way to kill someone and get away with it consequence free
Re:San Francisco crypto founder faked his own death on Monday May 12, 2025 @10:49AM (#43963672)
It might be hard to believe, but on the inside, people like this are pretty easy to spot. Crypto people are weirdly bad at scamming, compared to other con artists, but because the amount of damage is so fast and liquidity so easy, incompetent people can do a lot of damage.

The scammers also the most vocal. Partially because they aren’t building something novel or valuable, and make up for it in marketing and flash. It’s also faster to build a con than to build a real product, so you see more of them

But yes. It is exhausting. Honest parties in the industry need to build against a large and growing negative reputation. It may be insurmountable. And the industry, generally, does nothing to punish these bad parties or self-regulate. The industry likely has to die, and be reborn after the token/blockchain era
