- Comment on Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support 1 week ago:
After all, any and all age checks we have nowadays are a black box anyways
This is the only part I disagree with. Age verification is typically done via services like ID.me, Lexis Nexus, etc which do it via identity verification with documentation. The alternative method that most social sites have gone with is age prediction from a face scan, of which providers are more than happy to tout how they do it as differentiators. For the latter, there are even FOSS options.

- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 2 weeks ago:
I agree on two things:
- DLSS5 should not be run where an artist does not want it to be run.
- DLSS5 requiring two GPUs is horrible, and can only push us further towards the dreaded “game in the cloud”
But if a tool enhances a texture in a specific way, for instance sharpening lines along a garment, or adding shadows to an object under a lamp, how is that different than existing texture mapping algs?
As artists learn to predict what these tools do, and where to take advantage of them (such as in backgrounds or on specific textures), I think they will become useful. At least I hope. If nvidia doesn’t provide tooling to do that, then I’m 100% on the same page as you.

This is a really good video about how good DLSS5 works… on backgrounds, without altering artistic intent. If nvidia allows devs to tailor “no go zones” for DLSS, this would be a great thing.
- Comment on 79% of smart dash cams we tested had security flaws and concerns, and in some cases they were breaking the law - Out of 28, only six didn't have any concerns. 2 weeks ago:
It’s a click bait article to get you to buy the 3 from their referral links, implying those are OK. You know this is a dumb article when you see this:
Of all the issues we found, weak default wi-fi passwords were the most concerning security vulnerability

Why oh why does their website only allow one line for headlines. There is no way to scroll to see what is there since all you can read are 3 words.

An 8 switch relay, old Pi, and 8 hardware store outlets can be had for not much more. I did that and let PiKVM control my outlets directly.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I built an 8 outlet version of those with relays and wall outlets for… a lot less.

- Comment on [beta] degoog - search engine aggregator 3 weeks ago:
Ahh definately not my problem after figuring this out (couldn’t find a guide but looked at the source). My instance is private so this isn’t impacting my non-Google results.

Why do these docs look like code? So odd… For my dumb brain trying to absorb this from a phone, is there a doc for what to enable in the Docker container that I’m not seeing?

If the ruling goes the wrong way, like with many cases like this (drug use is a good example), it won’t help those in the past. However, it will open a door for everyone in the future.
My guess is every DCMA entity on the planet has already sent this judge a letter saying that allowing this defense is a terrible idea. I am honestly torn on this one since there are so many unknowns, and if Meta loses it will mostly be publishers that benefit vs authors.

- Comment on I built a self-hosted period tracker because I couldn't find one worth using 4 weeks ago:
My partner might volunteer to try it out, but since she is very regular it probably wouldn’t help much for input.
The main feature she says she misses from Flo (we are also data savy, so she left it), was for when things were irregular, the ability for it to predict the why’s and when’s like stress, etc.
In the current iteration, if something is irregular can you put in what happened and have it auto-adjust?
Also, reminder notifications a couple of days out were helpful.
I had been considering a project like this as well, but one that uses on-device analytics to record the why’s and when’s, then allowing for scrubbed anonymous submissions (date adjusting/etc like you do in a clinical trial) to allow for algorithm development while preserving privacy.
Happy to have a conversation about this for future potential PRs (I am an avid FOSS contributor in both planning and code, even working on a project for the Linux Foundation kernel dev team now).

Em-dashes aren’t really an indicator as much anymore, especially with Humanizer skills on. Also, em-dashes were very popular with literary authors and professors for many, many years before AI.

- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 4 weeks ago:
This seems like an invalid test.
One of them collected posts from Hacker News and LinkedIn profiles and then linked them by using cross-platform references that appeared in user profiles. They then stripped all identifying references from the posts and ran a large language model on them.
If I post something on LinkedIn, and then post the same thing on Hacker News, of course an LLM could match my accounts up.
Am I missing something?
