Time to upgrade to AL2023, for all of us who procrastinate

Yeah but the product is not “LLM” it’s “proprietary frontier model LLM paid by the token”.

And I don’t even necessarily disagree with OP! It’s more like the competition is shifting so quickly that your competitors could undercut your PMF in a blink of an eye.

Includes announcement of a bug fix for the longstanding bug that carded the session to sometimes briefly appear on screen before the lock screen password entry appears. Hooray!

Be very careful with bisync, it is experimental and perhaps the most fragile part of rclone. Carefully read the limitations[1] and monitor your logs!

I personally use mount, I have never had problems with locking.

Read to the end. Ways to financially support this important work can be found there.

Thank you for this clear explanation.

I hadn't thought of this use case for aliases.

I had to make my Outlook email primary again on my Microsoft account, unfortunately, because of how I use OneDrive. I send people share invitations and there are scenarios (or at least there were the last time I checked) where sending invitations from the primary account email is the only way to deliver the invite. If your external email alias is primary, they'll attempt to send an email from Outlook's servers that spoofs the alias email :/

I tend to think that this challenge posed by "mixed" domains, partly unobjectionable but partly inappropriate, will only become more prevalent. A couple of thoughts:

1. Filtering at the DNS level will never be enough. You'll always need to have the capability for the browser or user agent to do filtering, since the user agent has the context to know the full URI as well as other things needed for filtering. The OS admin (parent, school IT admin etc) will need to be able to block all user agents except the ones that have the reporting and filtering capabilities tuned to the admin's requirements. This is the direction Windows is heading, but it is very rough.

2. I wonder if more domains could do what Google, Bing, Youtube etc do and permit a safe version to be requested at the DNS level. I personally would like to be able to do so with Reddit, Twitter and more.

As mentioned there, anyone using Power Automate to automate their personal Outlook.com/Hotmail email, OneDrive, etc can try migrating to a free Power Apps Developer plan (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/developer/p...). I have not yet tried this myself.

Another site, which includes a smaller but more professionally curated set of recordings, is Lit2Go (https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/books/). My children and I for example have greatly enjoyed Lorraine Montgomery’s recording of “Curly and Floppy Twistytail”, a series of delightful nonsense stories performed with gusto. (https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/183/curly-and-floppy-twistytail-t...) They’re not all aimed at children either, high quality recordings of Dracula, David Copperfield, etc

One important note:

> Does this affect content from music and photo libraries?

> The announced changes for remote streaming of personal content from a Plex Media Server apply only to movie/TV/video media. This does not affect music or photo streaming to our dedicated Plexamp and Plex Photos apps.

If I'm reading right, users like me who primarily use it for music and audiobooks (via the Prologue app) are not affected.

Funding =/= monentization, and the former presupposes a need for the latter

Exactly. The stakes of the conversation are quite high. Innocent people could suffer real harms.

Professional norms exist to support people in taking responsibility for the power they have. The CEO is manifestly failing in his responsibilities.

FYI in case you’re not aware, they announced in a podcast near the end of 2024 that a Linux version of Orion is planned.

I can't speak to the encryption or privacy aspects of this, but I can say that this is an important step to keep Signal competitive with Whatsapp, and help encourage people not to upload their unencrypted backups to cloud providers.

Ohhhh thanks.

Looking at those it looks like there was an edit:

> Updated on 6/12/20

> In May 2019, Geoff Ralston took over as YC President. At that time, Sam Altman stepped away from any formal position at YC.

And then shortly after the edit disappeared too:

Last time I checked, IONOS doesn’t implement DKIM, so if that’s still true I’m not surprised. Especially since, due to the inability to create true aliases, so many GMail users use forwarding that breaks SPF.

I use the $1/month DMARC monitoring from uriports and it’s a little scary how many emails only pass due to DKIM.
