Was surprised that article mentions Waymo, Rivian, Zoox, but not Tesla.

How can you write an article on autonomous cars and not mention Tesla? Clearly in bad faith.

https://github.com/memorysafety/rav1d got funded and developed. it is unfortunately a bit slower (typically by a single-digit percentage) than dav1d.


for dav1d there is https://github.com/memorysafety/rav1d although it reuses the dav1d assembly and performance is typically slower by a single-digit percentage.



archive.is is malicious -- as in, uses your browser to launch DDoS attacks, and other things.

Stop using it.

> archive.is is malicious -- as in, uses your browser to launch DDoS attacks, and other things.

I think the attack was itself a response to a doxxing attempt. Also, archive.is being a free service doesn't quite fit with claiming they are malicious. The overall picture seems still positive.


I don't care what the attack is responding to, nor do I care what services are being provided.

If, when I visit your site, your site causes my browser to participate in a DDoS attack without my knowledge, your site is malicious.


If you didn't care about the service you wouldn't visit their website in the first place, in which case there is no problem.


Is the person behind archive.today the same operator as archive.is?


Yes, they have a number of domain names, archive.is and archive.today are the most well known ones.


Just run in the console window=null and you are good. It is valuable service until the websites get their shit together and finally fix their payments model.


Is there an alternative?

Works for me. I use only Tor so it is actually far more accessible. Archive.is uses Google's Recaptcha, which for some reason rejects valid solutions submitted via Tor.


I’m not sure that is always a valid CAPTCHA and not one being proxied to you for solving it on behalf of some bot (presumably a crawler).


I don't know. I think people would notice if Google were being MITM'd on Tor.


You don’t need to MITM it, this was a common pattern for a long time (not sure it still works though). There was no origin verification so you could just use a different site ID and have people respond to captchas you encountered on that site.


Vera Rubin will have Groq chips focused on fast inference so it points toward a trend. Also, with energy needs so high, why not reach for every feasible optimization?


An individual contributor. Someone who delivers technical work without managing people. It is an alternative to being promoted into a management role.


> In 1997, ASML began studying a shift to using extreme ultraviolet and in 1999 joined a consortium, including Intel and two other U.S. chipmakers, in order to exploit fundamental research conducted by the US Department of Energy. Because the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) it operates under is funded by the US government, licensing must be approved by Congress.

> This isn’t tin foil hat paranoia. This is just honest engineering.

This sentence and others makes me think this article was written or edited by an AI. Anybody else get that feeling too?


> This isn’t some hipster nostalgia trip or a flip phone for people who think the 90s were peak civilization. This is something way cooler. A phone that gives you back something we didn’t even realize we’d lost. The ability to actually, truly, shut the hell up.


I started skimming and instantly thought AI, then came to the comments to see if it was just me.


     It’s like having a guest room in your house. The app can visit, but it doesn’t get to rearrange your furniture or go through your mail.

Yep. I came here to say "Well hi there chatgpt, I recognise your writing style anywhere &emdash; it's like a bad metaphor that hasn't been thought out. The LLM can predict likely text but that's not the same as making sense."

    Having tested dozens of privacy focused devices over the years, from GrapheneOS phones to Purism’s Librem 5. I can tell you that hardware based privacy switches are the gold standard.
You've tested "dozens" of privacy-focused phones, but you're writing about Jolla as if they're brand new and haven't been around for a decade? How did you miss Jolla until 2026?
