I would have thought this would be more of a story, I'm surprised there are so few comments.

"Claude Desktop, an Anthropic application, reached across the trust boundary between two independent vendors, and wrote configuration into Brave's application directory. The principle that an application does not silently modify another application is so obvious it rarely gets stated. Anthropic broke it in silence."

This is the key point for me - ask me, let me remove when done. That would be all it takes to not abuse trust.


It's being suppressed by the mods. I'd bet my house on it.

Oh thanks that Xteink X4 looks interesting, I'll do some research. Cheers!

Of course I realise way too late I responded to the wrong thread....

Slightly off topic, but I was discussing with my wife getting a kindle for my son (8) recently.

Any recommendations for alternatives? I have no problem using calibre to convert the books, and manually transfer from my PC. It just needs to read books.


Depending on how old your son is and or how much you want to invest:

If those people writing the Bills could sudo they would be very upset.


It's a work around to them making changes to deliberately change the expected results of pressing "back"


It's also not a very effective workaround, because some of the websites in question end up spamming multiple instances of their home page in the history stack.


You can usually address this by going back as far as possible, then holding the button again so more of the history shows up. And IME, it's only really broken sites that have this problem in the first place.


Yes, but that's super annoying and at that point graduates to being a shitty workaround.


I don't mean to derail (and thank you for the - horrifying - link), but why the hell is that a "short". It would have been much better being a normal video (with time controls).


Because YouTube wants to be TikTok nowadays.


Title should be "The secrets of the Shinkansen" which is odd for a (very well written) piece about Japanese commuter trains (non-shinkansen versions).

Maybe it's a carry on though "This is the third article we have released from Issue 23".


On the magazine itself, it seems to be labeled "Why Japan has such good railways"[1] instead

That makes so much more sense


It's been a hell of a morning for llama heads - first this, then the claude drop and turboquant.

I'm currently setting this one up, if it works well with a custom LoRa ontop ill be able to run two at once for my custom memory management system :D


Agreed.

We can either use our real names (bad plan IMHO) or deal with the fact that without the consequences of our actions, there are a lot of arseholes around.

Moderation is the answer, I think there's no way around that. HN show's that it can be done well, reddit show's that it can be done badly. Twitter show's what happens when it's not done (yes I'm being a little extreme there).


Real names didn't stop people from being arseholes on Facebook. They did lose a lot of friends, but they also found like minded friends, so kind of a wash.


Oh perfect timing, my son was asking me what that table was when we saw it in a show the other day. Thanks :D


As it's enabled by default, does that mean everything has already been siphoned off and now I'm just closing the gate behind the animals escaping?

Shit like this shouldn't be allowed.
