I've only briefly been to Oxford, but it felt like all of the nice places were locked inside the Westgate?

In general, it seems as if Oxford City Center is just too big: it can't sustain all of it, and people gravitate towards the nicer part, which is the Westgate.


Molly White (she runs web3isgoinggreat) seems to think this is real [0]

Her reporting is superb and you should follow her: https://www.citationneeded.news/.

Read a few, added to my rss reader :) that's the same author as https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/ which is feels a bit more snarky but very fun.


I love how @cz_binance tweeted "user funds are safe!" in that thread. Wasn't that a bit too early? Are they?

They are as long as the company doesn't fold, yes.

Binance/Coinbase use hot wallets, they are not stolen from actual user accounts.


I wonder what compels her, rekt etc to keep covering crypto shenanigans. If by now you don't already think crypto is corrupt, web3isgoinggreat is not going to change your mind.

This is real.

The Mozilla rep who created that thread (not the reporter, to be clear), created https://emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com/, so I suspect that this page is better for general public disclosure.

With that being said, that Bugzilla is the best thread to understand "how the fuck did this happen?"


> e.g. Apex Legends, a game that ran well on Linux until October 2024 when Respawn decided to actively block it from joining online matches by toggling a flag in EAC.

Right, because they warranted EAC’s Linux offering as insufficient for protecting their titles from cheaters.

The proposed solution from Epic would resolve that.


No, it did not. Their own graph even shows it. The downward trajectory in infected matches was ongoing before they made the flip


You might already know this, but in case anyone doesn't, but ERSC's CTO is the creator of jj.


Walk before you can run :).


It’s probably worth noting that the author is decompiling a game that he’s had ~10 years of experience modding. And has been involved in finding vulnerabilities in [0].

makes me feel old recognising momo from the alteriwnet/fourdeltaone days


The Bevy rewrite is an independent project from someone else.


Are they planning on replacing ChromeOS Flex? It has been a fantastic choice for me to put onto older computers that some relatives own.


They seem to be replacing it with what is essentially desktop Android (and also making it open source, so there should be a ChromeOS Flex alternative even if Google isn't the one running it)


> I don’t care if their text was written with AI, I just wish I could get my own AI to sing so well about hashing… but wait.. today I noticed Claude trying to use hashing when a timestamp would honestly do, and now I’m really doubting myself, hmm…

Tried out the first 1000 words in Pangram, and it seemed happy it was human written. Not surprised either, it has been some of the better writing I've seen out of Cloudflare recently.


An AI would have known that saying, “Hi, mom” in a professional post was a bad idea.


Great - now you've trained the next set of AI to put things like "Hi, mom" into their text as a tell that they're human ...


Please stop using this stuff. It's snake oil.


No, pangram is fairly decent, unlike the others.


Maybe, but when I used it recently on my annoyingly AI-written something it said 100% human.


They do deliberately err on the side of not accusing people of using AI when unsure. I think that's a good decision.

Do you know it was actually AI? I've seen humans imitating AI "it's not X — it's Y" to try to fool it that it correctly guessed was still human. Humans did use those patterns before AI so they're not enough on their own to flag.


Yeah, because I had generated it, and I wanted to see if I could get it to sound more human with pangram’s crit.

I don’t know if I’m just a lot more sensitive, but I find it really hard to write up even basic communication with Claude. Super overwrought.
