As I understand it. There is research published which suggests HIBP type password checking schemes DO give meaningful signal to potential attackers. EG https://d0nut.medium.com/attacks-on-applications-of-k-anonym... and http://cablej.io/blog/k-anonymity/

It is absolutely not OK to participate in this scheme on a users behalf without their affirmative consent. You simply cant know the context of people's situations.

Even the information that there likely ARE some hits from my IP is a huge signal leak, to me.

Iv been using HA for a very long time and it feels like a betrayal of trust to me.

Including the wide kind like (Franklin Sensors ProSensor M210)?

Apply stabilization to these would be a big improvement. Crazy what we tolerated back then.

There is a Novel about this: Manna, by Marchall Brian. Their website that used to host it is down but here is the wayback version from 2019: https://web.archive.org/web/20190312023349/http://marshallbr...

In it, employees wore headsets run by the AI which instruct them task by task:

"Jane, when you are through with this customer, please close your register. Then we will clean the women's restroom."

Manna: "Place the 'wet floor' warning cone outside the door please."

When Jane completed the task, she would speak the word "OK" into her headset and Manna moved to the next step in the restroom cleaning procedure.

Manna: "Please block the door open with the door stop."

Jane: "OK."

Manna: "Please retrieve the bucket and mop from the supply closet."

Jane: "OK."

Reminds me a little of contact (https://www.ludozofi.com/home/games/contact/)

I drove an i3 (Tiny sporty electric BMW) for a while, and it really changed how I see this kind of thing. The noise your car makes .. is wasted energy. You are blaring and bragging about your inefficiencies. That tiny i3 will out-accelerate you at every light, and you will be making a ton of noise, while it is nearly silent.

Car people seem to have got 'louder' and 'stronger' correlated in their heads, but they are NOT.

I work with claude every day, and instantly recognized its voice; but at the same time, as a web dev from the late 90s who traveled kicking and screaming through all of these ages, I really enjoyed the article anyway. I don't have a visceral disgust with claude's tone as some others here seem to. I'm glad you wrote it and I plan to share it with a friend.

There is a procedure common in mail sending where you ALMOST do this. You connect to their mail server, tell it you have a message for them, and wait to see if it rejects you or accepts the message. Then you disconnect without actually sending the message. I wonder if this is some kind of confusion among the devs behind this, or some benefit to really sending the message that I can't think of. Does it contain a tracking pixel or anything?

I know someone personally that received a fake $100 bill from a USBank ATM.

  | I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?

  ● Drive. The car needs to be at the car wash.

Wonder if this is just randomness because its an LLM, or if you have different settings than me?

I encountered this as well. If you only send a few email verification emails, the bounce rate is high. The only way to fix is to email the verified accounts regularly to push the stat on that side of the equation.

The use of init.defaultBranch here is really problematic, because different repositories may use a different name for their default, and this is a global (your home directory scope) setting you have to pre-set.

I have an alias I use called git default which works like this:

  default = !git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD | sed 's@^refs/remotes/origin/@@'

then it becomes

  ..."$(git default)"...

This figures out the actual default from the origin.

Wonder if the author is aware that in the 1970's during the gas shortages, GE developed an electric lawn tractor called Elec-Trak. See https://myelec-traks.com/E20.html It used DC attachments for everything, lawn mower blades (they sounded like an electric razor), chain saws, snow throwers, tillers, AC inverters etc etc. All powered by 6 golf cart batteries.

This build in the article reminds me of the one I owned for a while, was a lot of fun. Hope the kid has as much fun with theirs as I had with mine.

| Since emails are sent from the individual’s email account, they are already verified.

This is not how email works, though.

There is a product called BOESHIELD T-9 which actually does, reportedly, work for this. It was suggested in some thread years ago and I got a can, it appears to work well enough keeping rust creep off my ancient drill press table.

Nobody wants to 'read' your source code!

The entire point of choosing to use open source projects is that if you, the author, begin to enshitify the product (Or simply start to move in a direction different from users) users can fork the project and carry on an un-enshitified version.

If you can't compete with the author, you can't do that. So what is the point of picking software using this license over traditional closed source?

Emergent behaviors are something it seems none of the tech-bros attempting to re-invent things from first principles ever account for in their plans. You can't just reason out complex systems because emergent things cannot be predicted that way.

The reason your carefully reasoned worldview isn't correct/doesn't match with reality is because of emergent behaviors.

The thing this and MANY similar approaches take that rule them out for my use is they dont do drawings. I draw in my notes somewhat infrequently but when i need to I need to. I've been stuck with onenote for that reason.

How do i know if i want to sub to this if i cant see what type of things they post first?

Suggestion: A lot of people live as couples at the same address. Your plans don't provide an easy win for them.

Surprised no one even mentioned the matrix protocol yet. Its still very rough around the edges, but for an old school IRC person talk of Discord as an alternative just hurts me.

Do I want my community to be completely owned by a corporation, so that all the work we put into the network effect belongs to a company and they can impose/change rules at any moment? Have we learned nothing?

Matrix is the modern IRC alternative, not discord. And in some cases, you can run a bridge between the two, so I use a matrix client as my daily IRC interface -- best of both worlds.

For years I have been putting postmaster@<domain> for required email-to-download forms. Enjoy reading your own spam, jerks.

It is a very common theme in Elite Dangerous, to the point that the station controller will sometimes say "Oh seven, commander" to you.

Article claimed its from James Bond

And vuejs has a browser plugin which can sort-of show you which components call which components to get there.

Reddit was a co-op between a few groups of people.

General low effort content scrollers

Power users and mods who appreciate creating and contributing to make a community

Advertising interests

The deal was, the ad seeking was for the mainstream strollers, and the contributing power users and mods could opt out of the bs. The community builders get a nice environment for their community, the scrollers get content, and the ad people get to shiw thejir ads.

I always thought spez understood this. Its why the api existed. Its why old.reddit.com existed. It was the commercial machine's compromise to the content generators in exchange for the moderating and commenting.

But he seems to have forgot. I wonder why?

Without the compromise the whole thing falls apart. Reddit becomes digg.
