I want to boot linux in a vm at full-speed. is that too much to ask?

Cloudflare is exclusively what I use for any infra work I do (and I do a lot for various projects and startups of my own/others I advice). If something doesn’t fit cloudflare primitives, I try to rethink my design before reaching for gcloud etc.

They even do docker containers now which is great but durable objects and workers are game changer for me.

The easy nextjs deployment is also my go-to now that vercel isn’t my preferred vendor.


that's just "God's chosen people!" with extra words

No it's science: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-biosocial... . Unless you believe God forced the Europeans to persecute the Ashkenazi Jews in order to create selection pressure for intelligence.

Sadly my mind is still GPT2 as none of us goyems went through any hardships in our past.

"Nazis use eugenics to prove that Aryan race is the best race"

It's not having slightly higher average intelligence that makes you a nazi, but rather thinking that this makes your race "the best"- or that actually there can be something like "the best race".

No, why? Apart from the not very plausible explanation with selection pressures in the middle ages, Jewish intelligence is pretty obvious if you look at the data- just as obvious as it's Jewish economic and media power, Jewish influence in Western politics, Jewish contributions to arts and literature, and so on. It really couldn't be more obvious. I think we need to recognise it and find ways to deal with it, from both sides.

it also says more about what's accepted by general audience.

Is this using cloudflare behind the scene? how does it compare with https://agents.cloudflare.com/

We do use cloudflare for networking. But Cloudflare sandboxes are even more expensive than most. It's about 30X lower cost than cloudflare sandboxes.

just curious, why is that hard to do?

focus and expertise. apple lacks both when it comes to AI. maybe it is strategic, maybe it is stupid hubris - we will soon figure out.

in any case, they're bound to get disrupted


Meanwhile they haven’t had iOS jailbroken since iOS 17 four years ago

Pegasus begs to differ!

Link to download?

strictly available only to sovereign states, national governments, and authorized law enforcement or intelligence agencies

iOS is routinely hacked into to spy on activists all over the world, and the hardware is backdoored (Operation Triangulation).

Source?

For what in particular? You can read about Pegasus [0], although that page doesn't even remotely deal full justice to the extent of how widely it's deployed (e.g. basically all Russian opposition was/is tapped with it and somehow it doesn't even mention this). LEA of a lot of countries have some way to break into locked iPhones, such as Cellebrite's tools [1] or GrayKey [2]. I mean, even the popular US body cam channels on YouTube casually mention unlocking perpetrator's iPhone using the "forensics methods available to the police" like it's no big deal.

Operation Triangulation [3-8] had two separate attack chains, one of which is redundant, implying it's here just because it's a part of a bigger modular suite and the attacker can waste decades old 0-days just like that, having a ton more in reserve, and also something that looks awfully like an intentional hardware backdoor. What's fascinating about this attack is that it should have obliterated any vendor's reputation as being highly secure or government-resistant, yet we still have people thinking iOS is secure, and Apple had worldwide media coverup and multiple credible hardware experts unrelated to either Apple or ARM saying the backdoor is not intentional but more like a "genuinely forgotten debugging feature" (guess how a good backdoor should look like...), see the HN discussion [9] and . Despite Steve Jobs passing away long ago, the reality distortion field around Apple still seems as strong as ever.

Obviously this is just a tip of the iceberg, and how many of these are in the wild or how many backdoors the hardware still has is unknown. I'm sure that with better AI capabilities closed source vendors have many big surprises coming in 2027-2028. The availability of public jailbreaks is unrelated matter, they're necessary to support third-party stores against Apple's will but that's clearly not feasible. Samsung phones didn't have custom ROMs for the same reason, for example.

VB6 was my first "language" back in high school and how I earned money ie. making software for local folks. It was great!

That and Flash is what I miss, we don't have the tools anymore. Lost in hunt for "optimal" or "responsive" apps.


I wish they waited until gta6


This is probably going to the be holy grail later this year. In light of the recent explosion in decompilation/recompilation efforts, the first one that can get a copy off their machine and running on PC will get a lot of clout. Essentially, if they won't release it on PC, the people will just release it themselves. LLM assisted recompilation are a mighty force that is yield results with surprising speed.

There are already some PS5 games getting this treatment.


GTA6 won't be released for PC?


It hasn’t been announced. GTA 5 was released for PC about 18 months after it hit consoles.


half of gta 5 online revenue is from PC. They will definitely release GTA 6 for PC, maybe half a year after the console release to get people to double dip (those who bought it on PS5 and then buy it again on PC cause they prefer playing on PC)


Eventually it will, but it is console exclusive for some indeterminate amount of time. Google seems to indicate that this was 19 months for GTA5. Not entirely sure why, the tinfoil hat theory seems to be it's to encourage people to buy it a second time to play multiplayer with their PC friends. Alternatively, it could just be it's easier to get some fixed targets out the door than worry about broad optimizations.

A bit disappointing either way though as someone whose only console is a Nintendo Switch 2.


Considering the low end will be the Xbox Series S, that puts it not too far out from the Switch 2.

However, the CPU would be way behind the and storage on Switch is somewhat limited. I don't think people would want 180GB chewing up the 232GB of available storage on the system.

It would be in the impossible port territory but it seems like it could be JUST within grasp. This is all dependent on how well the Series S performance is. If it stinks on there, I doubt they will ever bother with a S2 release.


Not initially, perhaps 2 years later


The exploit has been fixed in 14.0. Realistically gta6 will require it


I think the point they're trying to make is that, assuming this is an implementation of the bug that caused the PS5 Linux dev to quit, it was known about and had been being sat on intentionally to prevent it from being fixed before GTA 6 came out, but some other group found it and reported it.


This is a different exploit. This one is a kernel exploit, the one that caused the drama is a hypervisor exploit. A kernel exploit lets you pirate games but running Linux requires a hypervisor exploit.

Note that Sony significantly improved the PS5's security on firmware 14.0 and above, likely to prevent GTA 6 from getting pirated. Ripping a PS5 game apparently requires a hypervisor exploit, and the last known one was sold to Sony. This means that nobody will be able to rip GTA 6. Even if it was ripped, they would then need to "backport" it to run on hacked PS5s running earlier firmware versions, which would take some time and expertise.


Given how good PS5 emulators have already gotten, the goal may actually be to rip GTA 6 and then distribute pirated copies to play on PC. Which would be much worse for both Sony and Rockstar, given that they don't want to make an official PC release yet - so by the time they do, many PC gamers who would have otherwise bought the game at PC launch will have already finished it. Sales would tank.


An interesting thought would be what would happen if they manage to exploit past GTA6 release, and actually manage to ship a PC-compatible GTA6 version based on that exploit. Surely Rockstar got a lot of cash to be console-only on launch - but the hype around the game would destroy PC game revenue. I hope this happens and they just let me buy the game through steam for honest money as a response of the pirated version.


Use this exploit to bypass the check.


Couldn't you spoof the update to the PS Store to still get the ROM?


I wouldn't count it as manipulation, it can be a good way to connect/relate with audience beforehand. Similar to making a joke?


everybody has access to the models, including Sony. If they still offer bounty, then they earned the bounty.
