- For ChatGPT you can turn this memory off in settings and delete the ones it's already created.
- Same, I use chatgpt plus (the entry-level paid option) extensively for personal research projects and coding, and it seems miles ahead of whatever "Gemini Pro" is that I have through work. Twice yesterday, gemini repeated verbatim a previous response as if I hadn't asked another question and told it why the previous response was bad. Gemini feels like chatGPT from two years ago.
- Peak swipe-to-text was on my HTC Desire circa 2010 using the third-party keyboard Swype. Everything since then has been a downgrade.
- Aren't virtually all SBCs made in China?
- A lot of the complaints here don't make a lot of sense and read like the author has never used an embedded linux device. The previously reported bugs are more substantial - hardcoded secrets for JWT access and firmware encryption, everything running as root, etc.
However, "Chinese product uses Chinese DNS servers and it's hard to change them" or "no systemd nor apt installed" are totally expected and hardly make it "riddled with security flaws". Same with tcpdump and aircrack being installed - these hardly compromise the security more than having everything run as root.
I would expect most users of this device will not be exposing the web interface externally, and the fact that they ship with Tailscale installed is actually impressive. I can't imagine the lack of CSRF protection will be a vulnerability for 99% of users.
I am curious what the "weird" version of wireguard the author refers to but based on their apparent lack of knowledge on embedded systems in general I would not be shocked to find that it's totally innocuous.
- In some cases it even comes with similar outcomes on mood and mental health to what I imagine being stuck in traffic all day every day would do to a person
- Obviously hindsight is 20/20 but this sentiment just reeks with comical levels of hubris

- Battery life is not remotely competitive
- I like the car analogy for IQ. Having an engine with 50% or more horsepower above the people around you is only useful if you know how to handle it, how to steer, etc.
The transmission is another great analogy, IMHO for communication skills. Applying full power to the tarmac from a dead stop is a great way to spin your tires.
- Does anyone really think it’s “if” and not “when” ?
- Agreed; uncommonly good writing, especially for someone with a CS degree.
- For anyone wondering, GOT is global offset table and PLT is procedure linkage table. gdb is the gnu debugger.
these are relevant if you, for some reason, want to write your own ELF parser, to load Linux executables without using the system loader.
it comes up fairly often when analyzing (or creating) advanced malware for linux
- > The bans are being motivated largely by health professionals ringing all sort of alarm bells because mental health indicators paint a pretty dire picture. These are based on actual statistics and have been confirmed many times.
Do the stats prove that cell phones are the cause of the dire mental health indicators? Or at least that there is a correlation?
- and assuming the protocol needs to continuously transmit for weeks at a time
- > On a decent hill you can get a regular bike going >60mph.
This is not the same as being able to go > 60 mph anywhere, at any time, simply by pressing a button.
> When you get a bike like this you deal with the danger and wear protective gear just like you would with any other bike (motorized or not).
This only deals with the danger to the rider - it doesn't address the danger to pedestrians.
- > They can't be treated like bicycles because they're too fast but aren't nearly as dangerous as motorcycles.
Why would an extremely powerful ebike be any less dangerous than extremely powerful gas motorcycle?
- This must have been the inspiration for the Simpsons bit where the police set up a sting by offering a free boat giveaway

The ost2.fyi courses are all high quality
This is absolutely his right and perhaps his intention to keep the project small, but in that case I wish there was another alternative vacuum firmware project.
