I'm so confused, what is Cursor actually? What are their relation to Anthropic and VS Code?

>>34716
Cursor is a VSCode branch, that hosts its own set of extensions independent from the vs code marketplace. The Claude code extension just integrates claude code into the vs code or cursor interface. This extension is distributed by anthropic in the vs code and cursor marketplaces. Someone stole the credentials anthropic uses to distribute their extension on the cursor marketplace, and uploaded malware through official cursor distribution channels.

>>34716
Cursor was the OG vibe-coding company back when it was 100% ass since there was no such thing as agent loops (thus big code snippets were a true one-shot and compiled like 20% of the time). They made the first (I think?) coding harness and they started losing relevance when Claude Code, Codex and open-source harnesses started becoming a thing. They got bought out by xAI and basically exist as that company's harness provider. They do other things such as contracting for Anthropic to do various stuff such as making the VS Code extension for CC and whatnot.

>>34717
But >>34714 said it was distributed by Cursor? Who is actually at fault here?

>>34719
Both, it is being distributed on the cursor extension marketplace, so cursor effectively distributes it. but the ball is more on anthropic's courtyard here since they got their credentials compromised.

i think just passing it through a cheap kvm switch would be enough since it wipes EDID info, windows would detect it as a generic monitor and would not even attempt to download drivers. alternatively just disable the feature to download software automatically.

This clown nexus really did a number on all of you. There literally is no malware in the monitor it is 100% a windows thing.

It is windows!
Windows!
Windows!
Back in the day windows was not this level of bad however it now downloads crapware for all kinds of things if it detects a serial number or manufacturer ID.

This is 100% windows plug in the monitor into Linux or boot into Linux and nothing like this happens. Shizo Steve belongs in a mental asylum.

the LG TVs do literally spy on you, without you even connecting it to wifi

>>34696
>LG TVs
I know however here we have schizophrenia Steve spamming his schizophrenia and after you listen you realize this is a windows thing.

Yes LG probably pays MS to do this and this is bad however the monitors are 100% safe and it is literally windows installing things when it detects a specific model of monitor.

This is 100% a windows problem since none of this will happen if you connect them to Linux. I have no idea why every zoomer is listening to the insane drivel of schizo Steve who somehow is not blaming windows and MS and did spin up this insane idea that the monitors magically hack windows or something. I have no idea because schizo Steve only rants schizophrenic bullshit.

Either way windows 10 has a long history of auto detecting hardware and installing really nasty bloat ware because bloat ware are driver or something. I needed to search how to remove nasty Asus bloat ware on Google and the correct way to do this is to flip some bios settings then win10 will stop this shit. It is 100% windows since the same computer under Linux will never do this shit.

Shizo Steve is running damage control for windows/Ms like only he can or this is mental ILL ess speaking either way no one should listen to schizo steave the guy looks exactly like you expect a insane homeless to look.

I'm considering switching to netbsd

>>34699
Honestly I tried NetBSD before but the experience isnt really different from linux, switching to BSDs just means less support for stuff. Things like DEs and most common software are the same anyways.

I still like it though, it's pretty good if you still need to use an old computer daily.

I've been a fan of Gentoo for many years now. Mostly just because of how easy it is to patch and create ebuilds in a local repository or using the patch folder. Reducing runtime dependencies like DBus is also nice. The few init services I've written have not been so difficult.

I wouldn't recommend it for everyone though, it depends on your needs, and the resources you have available. Also don't claim to know everything about system administration. Want binary package for my server - but Gentoo has these too, for amd64 at least.

Only other thing I'd really consider running atm is Devuan.

Alpine no question. While it's what everyone uses for their lightweight containers and VPSs, for anyone cognizant of the system it's a fine desktop as well. If you need to run any glibc binaries, just be prepared to install gcompat or a chroot.
>>34699
The parts that matter are shared among all *nixen anyways. It's extremely unlikely LLM reviews will cause a glaring bug to slip into Linux (the kernel), yet it already happened with rsync and no doubt will also affect the pkgsrc ecosystem as a whole.

>>34667 I actually already have a home server on a retired HP workstation, currently running ProxMox. I don't exactly have a lack of home server. Its why I'm asking here, as I need a new thing to do on my laptop

run a minecraft server on it for all leftypol anons to play on
last one failed but im sure this one will succeed

>>34669
oh or you could run a reticulum transport node, if you also have something like lora or ham radio idk
https://reticulum.network/

>>34668
The point would either be to migrate everything onto the laptop, since it should end up being more energy efficient, or run some daemons on the laptop for security or performance reasons.

If you don't want another server, maybe you would enjoy setting up a media center somewhere in your house. You could have it do anything from just playing videos on your TV to being a full STB substitute.

give it away to a poor person mr communist. if you have no idea what to do with something, that probably means you don't need it.

The privacy angle is the part people skip over — pasting screenshots into a random online AI tool is basically handing over whatever's in the image. Worth being deliberate about which services you trust with that. MangaPoly (https://mangapoly.com/)

Local LLMs aren't that expensive. Any computer with 16 GB RAM or more can run local models. You won't get those succulent 70 tokens per second and the model will be smaller, but the AI usecase landscape is so dumb that it's not as big of a deal as you might think.

>>34681
the strata engine can do qwen flash at 70 tokens per second, but 16GB means you get little context which makes them useless for agentic programming. but we're so close to frontier level agents on consumer hardware!

Well it's complete. The light Phone will now run any game program Flawlessly.

Bullshit or cope, I had a xiaomi and it had so much shit that you needed to turn off in separate places it was insane, and to this day I never figured out how to disable the xiaomj "safe installer" crap. I got lucky on that phone because it was vulnerable to mtkexploit which rescued it from the trash bin

>>34152
I just hit back out of muscle memory when the stupid safe installer appears. Yeah I had to turn off "features" in separate places too but it took me about a day of getting used to the thing. Yet it is still my daily phone after all these years. Battery still lasts a good day use, too.

everyone's giving you bad advice. the best phone is one you can play the best emulated gaming experience on, get 2 days battery out of, has OLED, and is cheap, under $250.

The entire phone market is an oligopoly keeping certain features from budget and even mid range phones.

Namely, all non flagship phones are artificially limited to 4k30 fps recording, it used to be because of the image signal processor on the cpu, but then it became too expensive to manufacture multiple of those for different cpus, now it's just that the option doesn't pop up in the camera app.

Cameras on phones haven't really gotten better since 2020, the limiting factor isn't megapixels but rather the focal length and tiny sensor size. Every new camera feature since then has been a marketing gimmick.
Manufacturers trying to get more from the tiny sensor ironically makes the picture worse year over year due to shitty overprocessing.


To keep phones from getting cheap all brands collectively agreed to limit midrange phones from having zoom cameras. I bought a redmi note 10 pro 5 years ago and it had a main 108mp camera, a macro camera and an ultrawide. 5 years on the same line offers the same fucking features for 2x the price.

The only thing that keeps advancing are phone cpus but the gap between budget and the one flagship cpu (snapdragon 8 gen 5) keeps increasing year over year due to normal everyday tasks not becoming more demanding.

Also I really like sillicon carbon batteries.

WHY? You are insane! What if the technology itself makes it impossible to be not tracked 24/7 like cell phones? The cry for alternative is insane, the technology itself is wrong and can not be fixed.

Anything with a GSM modem is tracking you 24/7 and your geolocation to whoever controls the cell network. In 99% of all cases it means the government of the country you live in.
<Oh no it is not the government! It is the corporation who controls the cell towers
<Who are only 5 max in the country
<Who all can be compelled legally or extra legally to give up this data and given gag orders
<Or the government simply deciding to sit on cables that send their data and record that
<WEW glad I cleared that one up!
This is how GSM technology itself works.

OK. Why is this not default behavior? Looks like you condemned your entire project!

I have a landline phone, not only is it less intrusive than a mobile it's also comfier, if not a little loud when it rings.
You can get an IP-telephony connection from certain ISPs. for me it costs an additional 40 SEK to my monthly broadband subscription plus a one-time purchase of a telephone router from them and telephones can be found for cheap in charity shops.
When I've been asked for my mobile number and I explain that I only have a landline I've been told that it must be relaxing not to have a mobile and it really is!
Other than telephony the only digital services I'm dependent on can be accessed with my puter.

Because Lenin is Jewish by descent, also of parents who were Orthodox Christians and therefore "cut."
To ask an uncut Lenin is to ask for both an unadultered Lenin and yet also a Lenin not true to himself in the physical sense.

Was reading this ad roll about Netscape LiveWire Pro Web https://philip.greenspun.com/wtr/livewire.html it wasn't perfect but I thought to myself, eventually everyone will know it because Netscape is a big mover, and maybe the libraries will come along, and enough will be invested in it to make the runtime fast, and you know maybe we find ways to gloss over the troubles with the language given time.

I know some people subscribe to this idea of "innovation tokens" or some similar market language. But I really think we can go fast, The future's at our fingertips, if only we're willing to take it! "The club hits of today will be the show tunes of tomorrow."

Day 6, thought would give an update. Whole thing so far has been vibe-mageddon. Have been reviewing, and understanding, and it's largely a port of the Deno version to a different tech stack, but also exhausted all my free tokens yesterday.

The basic architecture is pgtyped SQL generating repos wrapped in a (railway) error handler wrapped in a (unit of work) transaction and (dependency injected) passed into the service layer from the file routes. Basically the same as the Deno version but with SQL instead of MongoDB etc.

We're at something like 3000 lines now. I think I've got the database mostly implemented, all the architectural plumbing, a good chunk of the components, basic federation, and the API designed (but not yet implemented). In terms of what's actually working at the moment it's just session management, and user federation but much of the supporting structures are in place for the rest.

No git hosting yet because my platforms, quite wisely, have AI bans. I'll probably have to self host the git instance and throttle.

Let things get a little out of hand as the port work was/is finishing up. So had to do a layer by layer, and file by file review and edit by hand. Nearing feature parity now with my original implementation posting is working as are profiles, including posting to anonymous groups, both as the group and as a user. The review is just about complete barring two files to do with the federation layer where some more comprehensive edits are required and cross-referencing with the documentation. IIRC what's left for feature parity is the follow page, and the thread pages. Should be pretty simple.

Reached feature parity with anatta-deno, and completed the hand review yesterday. At 4500 lines now, am hoping the whole thing, including tests will be under 10000 - so at least 45% done. Next big feature is the feeds and sorting algorithms (HN, Bump, and Recent). Only other huge feature can think of is adding the doomscoll/pagination everywhere. Then there are a ton of smaller features.

Just completed feeds, and sorting, called them Score, Bump, and New. 5000 lines now.

Am thinking of something sort of complex to avoid sybil attacks:

• A minimum karma statistic for votes, and posts to count towards rank.
  
• SybilGuard once passed the karma statistic to check for voting rings.
  
• Escalating bans from board if sufficient rank changing negative karma (broken hearts).
  
  

So even if you had a residential proxy service with many IPv4s, and an email server you couldn't manipulate.
