Or slow MCP servers that are waiting on HTTP calls from APIs, playwright/other UI instrumentation, etc.

Japan, the society with such a corrupt criminal justice system that being arrested for anything regardless of guilt is generally considered the end of your prospects in life?

[kelnos → devmor]

Both things can be true, that Japan's criminal justice system is awful, and that Japanese people have a strong culture of respect for the commons and community.

[devmor → kelnos]

Yes, not only are both true, but one is the consequence of the other's extreme.

When you socially punish people for sticking out, even harmlessly, eventually you end up criminally punishing people for sticking out, even harmlessly.

Yes it’s very easy to have 90% approval and hear no downsides to your regime when you execute and imprison people for disapproval.

Oh you have some complaints? You must be a drug dealer. Death for you.

[narrator → devmor]

He didn't even execute anyone. They are all just in that prison. Do some basic research first or you show your ignorance.

[devmor → narrator]

Oh sorry, we're calling them "forced disappearances" now.

Can't be an execution if the body is never found.

On: Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?

[devmor]

I still haven’t had it.

I’ve been working with ML for most of my career, and “gen ai” since the days of matrix crunching for NLP to a 10-element response array on my 1080Ti.

The current generation of AI is frankly, only marginally more impressive to me than that era. The only thing I’m saying “oh shit” to is the deranged amount of capital debt being leveraged to make it usable.

Watching companies spend billions of tokens per minute letting their dev teams that barely know how to write a prompt beyond some tips and tricks to gain a fluctuating slightly negative to slightly positive productivity change that no one can quantify is making me feel like one of the only sane people left in the world.

Quantization is the only interesting change I’ve seen in years.

This is actually really cool - I could have used something like this that supports looking for RTMP as well a couple months ago.

[devmor]

Yes actually. You can poll for nearby Bluetooth devices and cap the packets advertising the manufacturer.

[Singletail → devmor]

Advertising packets only go out on startup and pairing, not during normal operation.

[devmor → Singletail]

This may be true for standard BT (I genuinely have not looked into it), but Meta's glasses are pushing out ADV frames every few seconds, paired or not because they act as a BLE beacon.

Or they just find another way to show you did it - the idea is very similar to how law enforcement uses illegal spying. They simply find another way to prove what they already caught you doing - it’s called Parallel Reconstruction.

I noticed the availability issues dropped off really fast in line with the pricing hike!

> Agreed, this can't be worse than what it's replacing.

Why can't it?

[Ajedi32 → devmor]

Because as GP alluded to, the thing it's replacing (cookies) already does exactly the same thing but isn't anonymized.

> the thing it's replacing (cookies) already does exactly the same thing but isn't anonymized.

No idea what it's replacing. Cookies is a red herring. Tracking involves more than just cookies.

[devmor → Ajedi32]

It’s not replacing cookies, though.

It’s adding an additional feature that provides information to advertisers that they currently use cookies as one part of, with different considerations.

As someone forced to use MacOS Finder regular, and who hates Dolphin/Nautilus/etc, I agree with the OP on this one. I don't need tabs or breadcrumbs in my file explorer.

I need clear, well defined data in the windows and a path.
