I simply can’t wrap my head around the thought process behind launching a clusterfuck like this. Y Combinator probably didn’t do their due diligence and simply rode the fading AI Bubble, so I can at least understand how the funding might have been approved.
But actively leaving your $250,000+/year job to team up with some questionable choices to basically fork two OS projects, change the discord links and generate an illegal licence for that shit show, all while proudly stating, publicly, “dawg i chatgpt’d the license, anyone is free to use our app for free for whatever they want. if there’s a problem with the license just lmk i’ll change it. we busy building rn can’t be bothered with legal” when they are made aware of the fact.
This is absolutely insane, sounds like someone was about to get fired and decided to use some personal relations and fresh graduates to somehow successfully cash in one last time with absolutely no regard of even the basics. Pretty wild that those guys even managed to figure out how to found a Startup. Probably asked ChatGPT for instructions there, as well.
Yeah, that’s one of those tropes I hate pretty much everywhere, but (old) Star Trek is great enough to look past it.
They are skilled and professional. But how incompetently was the playbook written, if pretty much everyone can come up with something previously not derived spontaneously, if it’s that easy?
Great points.
Regular solar cells with better efficiency are already are thing, even in a compact travel format or as a novelty part of some electric cars. Those are cheap to produce, but still aren’t practical at all, unless we’re talking about something like a 2m² solar panel to charge a phone in a somewhat reasonable time on a very sunny day in an off-grid situation.
Using transparent solar cells additionally to regular ones in buildings instead of windows is pretty much the only reasonable application I can think of right now, but with a visible transmittance of 20% that’s kinda farfetched as well.
Das stimmt bei richtiger Verwendung schlichtweg nicht und es nützt niemandem, wenn man falsche Informationen herausposaunt. Wie auch im Artikel zu lesen, fand die timing attack auf üblichem Wege, gerade fürs deutsche Rechtssystem aber äußerst kontrovers statt:
Zur finalen Identifikation verpflichtete das Amtsgericht Frankfurt am Main schließlich den Provider Telefónica, unter allen o2-Kundinnen und -Kunden herauszufinden, wer von ihnen sich zu einem der identifizierten Tor-Knoten verband.
Bei einer Timing Attack werden, wie der Name schon sagt, Zugriffszeiten und möglichst viele (Meta-)Daten zu bestimmten Paketen statistisch abgeglichen. So kann man auch ohne direkten Zugriff auf die Daten bei ausreichender Datenlage feststellen, wer mit wem kommuniziert.
Hier wurde schlichtweg jeder o2 Kunde in Deutschland erstmal pauschal überwacht, ob er nicht mit einem bestimmten Server Kontakt aufnimmt. Um dem entgegenzuwirken, kann man natürlich erst einmal über einen (no log) VPN Provider gehen, um gar nicht erst zugeordnet werden zu können.
Gotta be honest, that’s a pretty shitty article that suggests that Tesla built a train. They did not.
Tesla funded an employee shuttle to one of their factories by leasing a standard Siemens Miero B.
Instead of waiting for a zombie fungus to evolve into something that can infect humans, they decided to cut out the middleman and made cyborg mushrooms.
