It sounds like it could be an interesting case but the weird AI slop writing is a bit much to trudge through.

I mean really:

> What improved (reported)

> Speech, recognition, dressing, continence — multiple functional domains, not a single symptom.

> What we cannot conclude

> No control group, no formal neuroimaging, no established causality. Spontaneous fluctuation and context cannot be ruled out.

Oh gee, thanks for the reminder on how the scientific method works, Claude. That's most certainly not something you can count on your audience being familiar with already if you're writing about a...medical case study, of course.

And why are these two points formatted as two cards with excessively long subheadings instead of something normal like a "paragraph?!"

Okay, so I'm not crazy for thinking that declaring an empty, typed array as `const` and then writing/pushing to it is confusing/feels wrong.

I didn't go to college for software engineering or anything so when I ran into that for the first time I assumed there must have been some good academic reason that was simply beyond me as to why it was done that way.

It turns out that no, it's just as weird to those that do have the formal background, boy am I feeling vindicated ;)

No, because this would be kernel level code, so anything else running in the kernel (other drivers) could stomp on your memory and you couldn't do anything about it. No OS protections here.

But the offending module is not necessarily the module listed in the BSOD. It could be a victim too, one that got its memory corrupted by someone else.

That's one reason why they removed it, because it was causing end users to blame vendors/MS when they often had nothing to do with whatever the problem was.

Because companies choose not to support Linux. Some popular ACs like EasyAntiCheat support Linux, but game developers (e.g. Facepunch/Rust) choose to block it.

Sure, the Linux kernel will let you load any unsigned kernel modules you want...but cheating is still possible (and happens) on Windows, so...

(Granted, trying to stop someone from running code on their own computer is a losing battle/stupid idea from the get-go)

But that's fine, even preferable? I love it when my interests and someone else's interests naturally align themselves.

Yes...my first thought. No way in hell anyone actually trusts this.

(And as if we didn't trust the compiler enough already!)

CRLs mostly still work for revoking non-expired certificates. They're a bit clunky, but they don't have to be: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2025/08/crlite-fast-private-and-co...

> Why discord domain verification instead of domain-verifications with a dynamic list on entries?

The TXT record itself is already a dynamic list of entries. It's far simpler and easier to iterate through the list and compare the start of each value with your search string until you find "discord domain verification" directly than it would be to do anything else.

Example:

    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    ycombinator.com.        300     IN      TXT     "openai-domain-verification=dv-QbhxxK0G0JK0dnyZ4YTsNAfw"
    ycombinator.com.        300     IN      TXT     "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:mailgun.org a:rsweb1-36.investorflow.com include:_spf.createsend.com include:servers.mcsv.net -all"
    ycombinator.com.        300     IN      TXT     "MS=ms37374900"
    ycombinator.com.        300     IN      TXT     "anthropic-domain-verification-0qe2ww=yK576oHdDgyTcXgkPfj1KXgGt"
    ycombinator.com.        300     IN      TXT     "ZOOM_verify_2ndw8KZxSRa8PT8NmdyXvw"
    ycombinator.com.        300     IN      TXT     "google-site-verification=KsI69Y_jEVkp4eXqSQ9R9gwxjIpZznvuvrus6UolB9Y"
    ycombinator.com.        300     IN      TXT     "ca3-4861b957e83847c188e45d04ec314ee3"
    ycombinator.com.        300     IN      TXT     "apple-domain-verification=WG0sP5Alm7N6h1Te"
    ycombinator.com.        300     IN      TXT     "dropbox-domain-verification=asc63coma4mv"

JWTs aren't stored in a backend though.

Session cookies you exchange an opaque value with the DB for the user info

JWTs the user hands you their driver's license, and you can verify that it's an authentic license for the person who's name is on it

Very interesting. I've noticed myself getting mildly car sick now that I'm a little older if I don't take breaks every so often. Does anyone know if there's a similar feature on Android?

Libertarianism is a spectrum. The majority believe in some form of government, just limited in what it can do to varying degrees. The are also anarchists, yes, but that's not all libertarians.

1. It's probably not hard to put her Chrome back where it was and set her homepage to Facebook.

2. These users wouldn't be the people referred to by the article though, right?

They are also roughly analogous to the modern DE concept of "Workspaces" which people seem to enjoy.

I agree it used to be fiddly at best but in recent years I had found it to be pretty easy in X11.

I haven't had complaints there for Wayland but I will say that it breaking other things has been annoying.

I think it's fair to say that requiring local administrative access to the device is out of scope, since you have already completely pwned the device in that case, which is what what you need to install a CA cert on any OSes.

But it seems likely that in the coming years, people will expect Apple's products to include the latest cutting edge AI (I don't mean useless AI shoved into every possible thing, I mean something closer to a useful Siri). Giving everyone else a 10+ year head start on you is not a good position to be in.

If you choose to outsource your AI to OpenAI/Anthropic/whomever, now you're beholden to another (risky), and for a critical feature of your ecosystem that your customers have grown accustomed to and to expect. And it's not just that they might jack up prices on you, but they can just... get acquired, or go bankrupt, or fall behind on model development...
