They say it’s a QR code challenge, resistant to bots, but what does it to? How does it work?

IIRC it was too “classic” for me.

I played around with another open-source shell for a bit, Cairo Shell / Cairo Desktop Environment, but it wasn’t able to replace my default shell.

What is NetHack?

NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game that runs on a wide variety of computer systems, with a variety of graphical and text interfaces all using the same game engine. Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight - in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly. Each game presents a different landscape - the random number generator provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by the player in one of a number of characters: you can pick your race, your role, and your gender.

What made it “a decade ahead”?

I’ve never seen one in action.

Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did

Surely memory prices hit consoles the same. Unless you specifically meant making the switch now is expensive.

I’ve been on PC for decades, I don’t think I’ve ever paid 2500, and never bought “bad” hardware.

The Steam Box releasing this year may very well be a great alternative for “easy setup” and “easy fire-up”. A PC with its open ecosystem, but a default OS that is much like consoles, a gaming platform frontend.

Imagine they eventually drop their own ai and remain a smartphone company.

What do you mean by private? If they’re non-self-hosted, then they’re not private by definition.

It’s not super obvious, but I do see a ‘next page’ link at the bottom, before footnote references.

Next: Dynamics.

A technical post in the Technology community, nice!

Are they using ai to fix them?

Please add cross-references when you post the same post to two communities at the same time. That way, people can find the other comments and discussion.

when steal launched

what a funny and in this context ironic typo

admitted to sabotaging their company’s AI by entering proprietary info into public AI chatbots, using unapproved AI tools, or intentionally using low-quality AI output in their work without fixing it.

Are the first two really sabotaging AI initiatives? The output is still the same.

The first sounds like a security and data use issue to me. The second sounds like users may look for better tools because the provided tools are lacking - which is not sabotage. The third is the only one clearly indicating sabotage to me. (Reasonable malicious compliance under presumably bad requirements and pressure.)

They already have a foot in the door.

That was someone else. Different people in this comment chain.

From the README (emphasis mine):

⚠️ We are excited about the amount of interest Thunderbolt has been getting and want to clarify that it is still early and under active development. Currently, we are targeting enterprise customers that want to deploy it on-prem. We encourage you to self-host it and try it out, but there are a few caveats we are still working on:

Mozilla is so untrustworthy these days that they had to cite themselves in the testimonial

okay, that’s kinda funny and ironic.

And it’s their only testimonial on the website. From the screenshot I thought it’d be one of multiple.

Given it’s a new product, not too surprising though, I guess. I wonder if they had any testing/cooperation partners.
