@soatok It took me a second to see the Telegard thing at the top so initially I thought this was going to be about Telegram.

@soatok Is it wrong that I didn't get past "a secure chat app" in the post title before I reflexively assumed they utterly fucked up their hand-rolled cryptography protocols?

dear lazyweb: a couple of years ago I ran into a really fantastic html/css very-beginner tutorial that I thought was amazing. It really went step by step and it was done by this guy who I think had accessibility needs and thus taught that part too?

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

EDIT: Thanks to @eramdam. The answer was https://htmlforpeople.com

The right wing understands that when it comes to dismantling good things, *action* trumps anything else. And that the Courts are too slow, esp with the current SCOTUS' ridiculous ideas about injunctions, to stop the damage from being fatal.

That's why fascists rely on compliance in advance: if VOA employees had just kept going to work and doing their job, making trouble and breaking doors to get to their stations, the Courts would have been forced to rule, and VOA would still exist.

@adactio I have not read the article yet, and am replying partly to bookmark this for myself to read when I have more time later.

I do agree that Apple sometimes supporting their own standards instead of common/open standards is frustrating. (ex: requiring Apple audio containers for some codecs)

BUT, I'm also wary of "The Web" requiring supporting *every* web standard and every feature that Google's Chrome supports. Web sites *should work* on older/smaller browsers, or for example, without JS!

Seeing a lot of hot takes on the ongoing #anthropic source leak hilarity bemoaning just how terrible the code is.

Folks, you're missing the point. Their idea is that code is now a low-level implementation detail, it's not for reading. You only program with prompts, and nobody cares how hard it is for agents to read their own code. That humans still need to review it is considered a temporary inconvenience, which they are solving (for now) in the usual way: hiring more bodies. (cont.)

Coincidentally, just today my company installed some "metrics gathering" extension to our enterprise Claude account which Claude warns "could allow execution of arbitrary code or interception of your prompts and responses", so I won't be doing this myself anytime soon. 😅

I have a friend who felt like he was between a rock and a hard place politically at work. So he wrote up the situation and fed it to an LLM to brainstorm for ideas.

It told him to quit. (In multiple related conversations.)

A mutual friend thought that using an LLM like that was a good idea and fed her situation into an LLM as well. It also told *her* to quit.

I would be interested in hearing more data points on this. 😆

The CFTC (the US commodities regulator) has just sued (https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/9206-26) Arizona, Connecticut, and Illinois for their efforts to "outlaw, regulate, or otherwise restrain" prediction markets like Kalshi.

This is another escalation by newly appointed CFTC chair Mike Selig (and sole Commissioner at the agency), who has taken it upon himself to assert the CFTC's sole regulatory authority over prediction markets. Recently, the CFTC filed a supporting brief in Crypto .com's lawsuit against Nevada.

As I wrote then (https://www.citationneeded.news/issue-101/#cftc), "Since the CFTC has filed no enforcement actions against prediction markets after embracing the sector following Trump’s election, Selig’s jurisdictional claim seems designed to shield the sector rather than regulate it."

Nevertheless, the CFTC's press release accompanying these lawsuits claims that state regulatory intervention could result in "poorer consumer protection and increased risk of fraud and manipulation".

ETA: one of the replies provided a proper translation: angina (pectoris), or y'know, chest pain.

There’s a massive misunderstanding about how Japanese eat noodles. We don’t slurp it up, we inhale it. There’s a huge difference. The former makes a wet slurpy sound, but the latter is a sharp airy sound.
