Yes one million times! Mozilla, get on it! Or, looking at the current landscape of browsers, someone with some free time please implement it in a firefox fork :(

I for one dont see these pop ups; I just block all javascipt in websites using noScript and unblock just the absolutely necessary stuff. Doesnt work all the time, but it works well enough for me.

true, but thats a no-go for me. Who knows what that browser secretly does or what they could put in, well never know for sure…

but its closed source…

Best practice right now is Anubis, and if you want to do a little bit extra and fight against robots.txt violating bots you could set up a infinite web of garbage with links to more garbage in a hidden part of your website. Be aware that it will cost you bandwith keeping them busy.

Its been a problem for a very long time now, electric cars require large amounts of electricity to charge and that needs to be supplied through the residential grid. Higher use of electric cars means more electricity necessary. Electric cars usage is still going up and that is not likely to change soon. As for the more important part: Lots of power plants are not green, and replacing them means building more power generators. This device converts heat to (green) electricity. How could you possibly see this as a negative?

…and electric cars. And green energy.

In that reddit thread, they dont seem all too happy about that converter either, lots of people mention that it doesnt work correctly for them, so maybe your exact setup just isnt compatible with it?

Sounds good. Does anyone have any experiences using VSTs on linux?

They have since posted 2 more videos about the aptera, here is the newest one TLDW: that line of credit is not going to save them.

I used to be really exited about aptera, but as the years went by that enthusiasm waned. Their market is basically gone now, since you can get a real electric car for that price nowadays. Plus, after seeing this video from youtuber “wall street milennial” I dont think there is any hope for them left. I dont really like the essay style of that youtuber, but they cite hard, irrefutable data that paints a very clear picture that aptera is just treading water now, they dont have the funds to mass produce these cars, and no hope for further investments. Its sad really.

You cant tell me that a rewrite of gnu stuff in rust is just for security. I see that weak permissive license and the conspiracy part of my brain turns on…

Sadly, probably a crackpot paper. The link to the proof in lean 4 leads to a 404, the user doest exist, and the docker image also doesnt exist.

Also, the paper claims that its been verified by INRIA, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Cambridge, using their lean code. How can this be when the code isnt publicly accessible? Did they send it by email instead of fixing their repo? Why would they do that?

I somehow doubt that those three universities confirmed this proof and then sat on it, telling no one that one of the most important questions in CS has been solved.

The article is from a security researcher involved in the development of post-quantum encryption. Hes known for fighting against various agencies trying to weaken encryption for their questionable benefit. Hes been very successful but a one-man-show only goes so far. Please, if you read this: write those emails to the mailing list and tell others whats going on!

This (sadly) has implications across the whole world, but right now its very easy to stop.

And please, if you do write the email, please dont just copy paste the template in the article, it seems the comitee wants to ignore all the ones with the same wording because of “spam”

Well, with the exeption of RAID5/6 on btrfs. Its still(!!!) not safe to use!

Yes, true, but imagine future versions of this looking more like normal glasses, and displaying information like all the managers people report to, items on the todo list concerning them, etc. Or it displays what the customer ordered, what his bill is, etc. All things you could do with your phone on a one on one basis, but with glasses you could look across the room and get the information of the specific people in that corner without having to stop and looking all of them up.

Perhaps the wow factor for knowing the first name of your business customer or voter will be greatly lessened, but referencing personal things still makes an impression, even when your memory of it has been externalised to the database in your note app.

And concerning the creepy aspect: its what our world is converging to. I feel creeped out every time I spot a surveilience camera, or every time I walk by someone making a tiktok or instagram reel or whatever. Every time someone walks by with a phone out they could be recording.

But most people dont care. All the articles about how creepy wearables with integrated cameras are is only because its still new and rare.

But yes, I agree. The current glasses are solutions looking for problems, with barely functioning features, a horrible price point and lots of drawbacks. The stuff ive described above can be done with the technology, but right now all they do is make photos, record video, and gimmick features like “AI powered” note taking and giving you poor map directions.

My guess is that the reason that you’d use something like this specific product … (is to) obtain someone’s name … it’s just not enough of a use case to warrant wearing the thing if you’ve already got a smartphone.

I dunno, if all the glasses did was quickly find out the name and short bio of the person I am talking to and display it visible to only me, then that does sound like a big market. I could see demand from managers in big firms, polititians and activists, all customer oriented roles, and meee because I keep forgetting :3

Wow, lots of fediverse projects I had no idea existed! Epicyon for example. Although I dont think bluesky is part of the fediverse…

No idea why this news is making the rounds, duckstation switched to a nonfree license long ago and was forked from the last free release as a consequence. No one is using the og anymore to my knowledge.

I assume with “V” they mean vector? Then it wont, because RVA23 compliance requires the vector extensions. One cant just say “we are nearly compliant!” But apparently they just did.
