Turns out rampaging through the Netherlands, the Rhineland principalities, northern Italy, the Balkans, Austria, Prussia, Poland, Russia, Egypt, Spain, and Portugal in the span of 20 years earns you some longstanding animosity.

Linux@programming.dev•The same 732-byte Python script roots every Linux distribution shipped since 2017English
3·1 month agoSure, but it’s much easier to get some form of RCE on public hosts in order to make practical use of the LPE.

Linux@programming.dev•Ubuntu Linux Will Begin Landing AI Features Throughout The Next YearEnglish
31·2 months agoI’ve never had that be an issue in practice. The NV DC drivers cover this need quite well IME: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
It’s also the best route I’ve found for setting up CUDA, so two birds, one stone.

Science@mander.xyz•Scientists find a new way coronaviruses can get into human cells— An international team of researchers has identified an East African bat coronavirus capable of entering human cells.English
21·2 months agoI was curious too and found this review article that covered the topic pretty well:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12230189/#mbt270190-sec-0020
Selected immunity genes included a B‐cell chemokine, interleukins involved in immune system regulation and NF‐κB activation and genes involved in responses to pathogens. Gene losses comprised pro‐inflammatory interleukins that induce the canonical NF‐κB pathway and other pro‐inflammatory cytokines. Within gene gains, an expansion of the APOBEC gene family was most notable; these genes encode DNA‐ and RNA‐editing enzymes that are implicated in restricting viral infection and transposon activity. Interestingly, the smaller genome size of bats was related to a lower transposable element content. The authors concluded that bats had evolved immunomodulatory mechanisms that enabled a higher tolerance to pathogens than is typical among mammals.
So translated: Rather than firing off huge waves of new antibody variants trying to find one that’ll latch onto the virus, and cranking up the body temp to flush viral pathogens out completely like most mammals would, they make proteins that limit the rate that the virus can propagate into fresh cells.

Linux@programming.dev•Fix Logitech deliberate banning of LinuxEnglish
11·2 months agoSure, 100% with you from a technical POV.
But Logitech is looking at it from a product management lens, and deciding they don’t want to support a heterogeneous mess of a web API for a niche user base that already has their own parallel tooling.
logiwebconnect.com is not some cherished keystone of their product suite either, afaict.

Linux@programming.dev•Fix Logitech deliberate banning of LinuxEnglish
12·2 months agoLogitech is actually one of the most Linux-friendly brands out there.
This issue shown is just outdated UA sniffing, which is quite reasonable in context, given the spotty rollout of WebUSB across different distros in years prior, and the fact that the ecosystem is more or less dead in current years due to non-chrome browsers declining to add support.
Logitech products have plenty of Linux-friendly tooling like Solaar and G810-led because Logitech tacitly makes it easy to reverse engineer and hack on their hardware.

Programming@programming.dev•I just tried vibe coding with ClaudeEnglish
01·2 months agoVibe coding, in the sense of telling the model to make codebase changes, then directly using the output produced, is 100% marketing bullshit that does not scale beyond toy examples.
Here’s the rub: Claude is extremely useful as an advanced autocomplete, if and only if you’re guiding it architecturally through every task it runs, and you vet + revise the output yourself between iterations. You cannot effectively pilot entirely from chat in a mature codebase, and you must compile robust documentation and instructions for Claude to know how to work with your codebase.
You also must aggressively manage information in the context window yourself and keep it clean. You mentioned going in circles trying to get the robot to correct itself: huge mistake. Rewind to before the error, and give it better instructions to steer it away from the pitfall it fell into. Same vein, you also need to reset ASAP after pushing into the >100k token mark, because the models start melting into putty soon after (yes, even the “extended” 1M-window ones).
I’m someone who has massively benefited from using modern LLMs in my work, but I’m also a massive hater at the same time: They’re just a tool, not magic, and have to be used with great care and attention to get reasonable results. You absolutely cannot delegate your thinking to them, because it will bite you, hard and fast.
For your use case (3D math), what I recommend is decomposing your end goal into a series of pure functions that you’ll string together. Once you have that list, that’s where Claude comes in. Have it stub those functions for you, then have it implement them one at a time, reviewing the output of every one before proceeding.

Science@mander.xyz•Ordinary Lab Gloves May Have Skewed Microplastic DataEnglish
01·2 months agoI haven’t done any real labwork in about a decade, so probably a dumb question, but wouldn’t repeat distillation be a viable option for a control like that? Or are you suggesting the gloves might’ve been the culprit?
I know you’ll always get some nanoplastics carried over through aerosol droplets able to survive, but I’d naively expect you could still get a few orders of magnitude cleaner than the ordinary DI tap.

Linux@programming.dev•"FOSS" and "GNU Linux" do *not* automatically mean "for the community" or "for human rights"English
01·3 months agoOkay, how would you connect the UDHR’s core principles to FOSS in a meaningful, concrete way?
It’s great as a set of guidelines, but their implementation is very much left as an exercise to the reader, which I think is what the GP is getting at.
Honestly, his nipples make some great points.

Beastmaster ranger
You magically summon a primal beast, which draws strength from your bond with nature. Choose its stat block: Beast of the Land, Beast of the Sea, or Beast of the Sky. You also determine the kind of animal it is, choosing a kind appropriate for the stat block. Whatever beast you choose, it bears primal markings indicating its supernatural origin.
Druid familiar summon
You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: Bat, Cat, Frog, Hawk, Lizard, Octopus, Owl, Rat, Raven, Spider, Weasel, or another Beast that has a Challenge Rating of 0. Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a Celestial, Fey, or Fiend (your choice) instead of a Beast. Your familiar acts independently of you, but it obeys your commands.
Summon beast
You call forth a bestial spirit. It manifests in an unoccupied space that you can see within range and uses the Bestial Spirit stat block. When you cast the spell, choose an environment: Air, Land, or Water. The creature resembles an animal of your choice that is native to the chosen environment, which determines certain details in its stat block. The creature disappears when it drops to 0 Hit Points or when the spell ends.


Damn, this is huge. Really wish I could buy one.
