If AI was used to notice that the private key was 4 then I'm going right back to trusting that cert. Principles are principles.

This is an absolutely astounding press release from eMudhra. No apology, a suggestion that the researcher who found their private keys must have used AI, and an attempt to shift blame to auditors... wow. emudhra.com/en/press-release/emudhra-statement-distrust-global-tls-intermediate-root-ca

Cannot express enough the speed at which I would turn the game off, put down the controller and immediately sell the console.

If you take one thing away from this little test I hope it's less about Jev and more to be very intentional about how you use automated processes in your life and work, try to be aware of your own biases, try to be aware of potential systematized biases, ask "how do I know?" and "what can I do?"

i didnt even look at the new iphone benchmarks until now. What the fuck do you mean single core performance score is MORE THAN DOUBLE my PC. What the fuck do you mean the multicore performance is identical when i have 16 cores. Stop feeding the apple engineers so much cocaine. This is so fucked

Help! why does Drew's HOH intro have the irish accent today but not in the unlocked episode lmao #bb28

I would 100% support a law that says if any digital platform removes your access to media you paid for then they are required to refund you the entirety of the original purchase price. That would solve this whole thing in a hurry.

I’ve alway’s thought it’s a shame that WebAssembly has the word “web” in it. Gives it a connotation that it’s “only for browsers” or something.

 Meanwhile, NASA’s over here with a flight-compliant derivative (SpaceWASM) intended for spacecraft!

Pixar's Coco will finally receive a sequel in late 2029, twelve years after the first film, though the story will pick up only a few years after we last saw the de la Cruz family. https://bit.ly/4qr0MHi #D23

Bsky's appview rate limits how many of your labels get ingested per hour and per day. Emitting labels for something super high frequency like america-related posts is not a reliable way to mute. When I made a labeler to mute "political" posts, I blew threw the limits almost immediately and

America labeler who’s building this?

then most of the posts appeared as unlabeled when loaded via the appview. I ended up tackling this at the feed level, and I made a proxy for the For You feed that removes the "offending" posts from the feed skeleton that comes from For You before it reaches my client

Is it against the rules for an agent to look at the conversation's log?

"sorry, that's not in my context after compaction" yeah well you also logged the whole context to disk, go look it up

No need to use your imagination anymore, cloud shadows are now accurate ✨ It's such a silly approach and I can't believe it worked, I giggled so much when I got it working

Harry 💬@halisavakis.com

Cool thing with the compute shader approach is that I can also hijack the cloud raymarching loop to chuck in some volumetric fog in a different buffer with barely any additional computational cost ✨ Now try to imagine how cooler this would look if those cloud shadows were actually accurate 👀

In AT Proto, you own your data like you own an ape NFT. I think identity and data* interop is the more interesting selling point of the atmosphere. *in some cases

dame@dame.is

also, “data ownership” is a misnomer that doesn’t even make much sense in a social media context in which everyone’s data must be continuously copied, replicated, indexed, and distributed all over the world for anything of value to actually emerge

Kimi K3's weights were released, making it the most powerful open weights model in the world. Been reading it since it came out, page one starts strong: mostly negatives, a late run of zeros, and one unexpectedly large positive value.

I’ve been working on an Exaclidraw fork for about a week that syncs your drawings to your Atmosphere account as well as uses Iroh for realtime encrypted end to end collaborative work. I feel like it’s at a stage where I can share it. Meet lexidraw.app!

"prophet motive", the episode in s3 where the prophets (wormhole aliens) turn the ferengi grand nagus into some kind of social philanthropist until quark makes them undo it is peak comedy

Is there a super lite and easy way for an atproto service to host its own identity/pds with did:web?

My For You feed has turned in to everything I don’t want to see.. I wonder if there is a sign error in there

A new Science study shows that bumble bees can position a ball underneath a fake “flower” to reach a reward, suggesting they can exhibit spontaneous problem-solving and challenging the notion that such advanced cognitive abilities are exclusive to large-brained vertebrates. https://scim.ag/4vs08dC

@postgame.at Heads up — can't log into postgame from a self-hosted PDS. Your oauth-client-metadata.json requests repo:…?action=read scopes, but "read" isn't a valid repo action (only create/update/delete). Strict PDSs reject the whole auth with invalid_scope. Dropping "read" fixes it 🙏

the phrase "lipstick on a pig" has always inspired a deep sadness in me. I think of the pig, looking forward to her big night out, and I bring myself to the verge of tears.
