sidenote: why do people still use archive.today and archive.is, even after it tampered with archived snapshots, and used website visitors to DDOS other websites: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive.today

Why not just use archive.org?

Honestly…sounds like something an AI agent could do pretty well. Then when you’re browsing the library and you find a mistake you can fix things as needed.

Weigh the environmental cost against how much you value your time. Using local LLMs is probably enough for this kind of job, with much smaller environmental cost.

Using lemmy as example, when i request posts from another server, my server will request only those posts. It won’t request everything. Do you see the difference?

That’s just how activitypub works because the alternative would be too costly. But you could design a federation system that replicates everything.

A precise description is:
Usenet is a distributed system where servers peer with each other to replicate articles (P2P at the server layer), while users interact in a client–server manner with their chosen news provider.

Even your perplexity output admits that it’s not fully P2P like bittorrent. And if we count “partial P2P”, then activitypub would also count since even selective replication, is some amount of replication, and tbus “partial P2P”

If that’s the case; why use the agent to edit the code in the first place?

Agents for generation, humans for review

Right wingers have used that exact line on me, because they assume all “woke” actions are performative and aren’t based in real beliefs.

Well Paul Graham is not referring to you, since the rest of his quote makes it clear that he is talking about those who don’t engage deeply.

Imo there’s no point in discussing a quote or article if you aren’t going to take it in good faith. If you take the worst interpretation of their words, of course it’s going to be bad.

But if you take Paul Graham’s words at face value, then he’s simply saying that he believes shallow engagement had a large and negative influence on online discourse. That’s all you need to take from that quote.

I never said Paul Graham was a progressive left wing? Also that’s the exact identity politics that I was alluding to. Categorizing people and then making large assumptions on the meaning of their words based on the categorization.

As I mentioned in another comment, “Woke” can simply mean “people who virtue signal but don’t bother to engage with the issues deeply”, and with that definition Paul Graham’s quote makes perfect sense

How do you know what he means by “woke”? I read it as “people who virtue signal and don’t actually care”

Let me translate this bit:

your interpretation, not necessarily what he meant

I disagree, it’s ok for forums to have a focus. Hacker News has always been focused on tech and startups

Another article of Drew Devault grasping straws. For example he picks out this quote when trying to diminish Paul Graham:

Racism, for example, is a genuine problem. Not a problem on the scale that the woke believe it to be, but a genuine one. I don’t think any reasonable person would deny that. The problem with political correctness was not that it focused on marginalized groups, but the shallow, aggressive way in which it did so. Instead of going out into the world and quietly helping members of marginalized groups, the politically correct focused on getting people in trouble for using the wrong words to talk about them.

I literally don’t see what’s wrong with this quote. Paul Graham is referencing identity politics, virtue signaling, and other behaviors that were definitely common before, and are still fairly common today.

Read the article, it’s all covered there. Open source password managers like bitwarden and keepass are ideal, but passkey support and integration with the OS is not there yet. With text passwords, you always had to fallback of copy and paste. With passkeys, OS integration is crucial.

My guess is that it may happen, or the big companies like Google or Apple can keep shifting the standards to keep the open source options outdated, like what Google already does with web standards.

Declarative configuration (like docker compose) is basically “code local, push remote”, and it has a lot of benefits, including improving efficiency because you have a clearer idea of exactly what is set up on the server, to make it easier to debug or make changes.

Contrast this with just sshing in and running a bunch of commands to install something. Then coming back months later and wondering “what files did I touch? what packagea did I install? Hmm dpkg log says I added X but then later I removed it, so was it important?” Etc.

The article is saying that while passkeys could theoretically be better, the current implementation is bad because it cedes power to centralized 3rd parties, entrenching users who now have no way out when that 3rd party is incompetent or corrupt.

what was the OG comic?

Wait the camera is monochrome? So there’s no AR? Or only black and white AR?

When I talk about de-anonymizing the user, I mean that Google Play has already identified the user of the device. Then they can spy on the Signal app to try to identify the Signal account.

But also, regarding ZKP, afaik their ZKP doesn’t account for timing attacks. Signal can log when each account was made, and collude with Google to figure out which payments correspond to which accounts

Fair enough, I see what you mean now. This is more of a progress report than a project release. Sorry for the misunderstanding. FWIW I think your project is cool regardless of whether you used AI or not, so great work!

P.S. Out of curiosity I did read a bit of your comment history and I do agree with your comments w.r.t privacy and AI disclosure. It is a tricky problem indeed.

If it’s not made with AI you can use the CBH tag

Have you heard of Tube Archivist?

Edit: ok i see you mentioned it in your Local Smarttube announcement post. Why doesn’t Tube Archivist fit your needs?

I believe you need AI disclosure to post in this sub. Check the sidebar rules.

Yup they have their own crypto but they won’t accept it for creating accounts.

if you exchange from some other currency

Exactly. I can see why they probably won’t accept Monero for regulatory reasons, but just accept bitcoin so I can use a swap and pay with my monero
