But... Even when running it in mode 2 ("claude -p") they at certain points tried to detect OpenClaw-usage based prompts made, and blocked them [0]. Now OpenClaw says that Antrophic sanctions this as allowable again.
I agree with GP that this is hard to take seriously.
Also, considering how prevalent TPM/Secure Enclaves are on modern devices, I would guess most package maintainers already have hardware capable of generating/using signing keys that never leave hardware.
I think it is mostly a devex/workflow question.
Considering the recent ci/cd-pipeline compromises, I think it would make sense to make a two phase commit process required for popular packages. Build and upload to the registry from a pipeline, but require a signature from a hardware resident key before making the package available.
I suspect nradov argues that this type of geofencing + allow-listing is not typically what people mean when they talk about "export control", which I agree with.
And while geofencing + allow-listing for sure provide value in e.g the Ukrainian conflict, it's a weak protection compared to goods that are actually under strict export control (e.g ITAR), and will always have to be done after the fact. Russia could for example put Starlink on drones launched from the Baltic Ocean targeting Poland or whatever.
Someone was using Xray, proxying to my employer, and it was detected in our attack surface management tool (Censys). I had some quite stressful few minutes before I realised what was going on, "how the hell have our TLS cert leaked to some random VPS hoster in Vietnam!?".
Thankfully for my blood pressure, whoever had set it up had left some kind of management portal accessible on a random high port number and it contained some strings which led me back to the Xray project.
I wonder how many users you need in a given metro area to get resonable accuracy? Probably not that many, but seems like a tricky problem to boot strap.
Is the point to be an non-google alternative to Google Maps on Android? (On iOS as well of course, but there I guess you have almost no option but to trust Apple, and can use Apple Maps).
Little bit weird that the App Store listing says they are not collecting any data when they have this crowd sourcing of data?
EDIT: Probably not the same: This seems to be the company behind it https://www.magiclane.com/web/about/ if you sleuth round a bit. Then the pricing model of free makes more sense at least.
EDIT2: Or maybe not at all, the street addresses don't match up. Enough playing internet detective for this coffee break, back to work.
Really cool! Looking forward to follow your journey.
I understand that you might not be ready to share numbers, but you mention both hydrogen and desalinated water as byproducts, which both are quite energy intensive to produce. Any chance to give a hint along the lines of:
X kWh of power + sea water + sorbent (consumable?) => Y% CaCO3 + Z% H2 + W% H2O
When at scale, will your synthetic limestone be much more expensive than mined limestone or roughly the same?
I've tried GeForce Now also, the client told me everything was fine over Wifi (but it wasn't). Switched to wired, and again everything worked perfectly. I'm in the same room as my router.
I'm just saying that my guess is that this probably has nothing to do with your ISP or net neutrality, and more with technical limits of wireless connections. But I could of course be wrong... Try it with ethernet and see how it goes, I just have a long cable I temporarily run through the room when I wanna play :-)
(And yeah, I think it's kinda fishy that they don't make it clearer if/that wired connections can make big improvements. Look around the subreddits about these services, or their support pages and you'll see that people recommend ethernet, and the vendors first recommendation when having trouble is to use wired ethernet [0], [1])
From my experience, I think it is. A non-small part of multiplayer game engineering is to handle latency. With streaming you have none of that, and even if the connection just stutters for a few 10's of ms you will get a horrible playback experience.
Game streaming is most comparable to live video streaming with a frighteningly small buffer (< 10 ms).
I have a super stable 1 Gb/s fiber connection with like 5-7 ms to a close by AWS data center where I ran Parsec on a VM. I got ≈ 400 Mb/s to the VM, with < 10 ms ping over my 5 Ghz wifi. But I could still never get a stable setup. As soon as I went wired everything worked great. I think jitter is a big problem.
With a wired setup I could also move to further away DC's (like 20 ms) without any issue.
Another issue is the, albeit anecdotal, inaccuracy of LSD concentration in black market products. If you are aiming for a 100 ug dose, and blotters marketed as 100 ug can range from 50-150 ug, its quite hard to do proper dosage. Darknet markets have however probably improved the situation with accountability and reviews from customer.
Do you believe everyone should be thought, or exposed to, programming in school? I'm afraid that universal inclusion of programming in the curriculum would have an opposite effect and make the next generation despise programming, in the same way some people feel about math today.
