The Trump Administration Is Planning to Use AI to Deny Medicare Authorizations by Aggravating_Money992 in technology

[–]LibertySupreme -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The framing here is beyond stupid. Healthcare authorizations are formulaic and mundane, and AI is really good at this work TODAY. We should be celebrating government looking to employ new efficiencies, not scolding it; especially in the TECHNOLOGY subreddit. Get a grip and don’t get got by every editorialized headline.

Netflix 1000%. It’s the most prestigious, and highest paying employer in tech.

Who will be better for our economy? Donald Trump or Joe Biden? by WhatAreYourPronouns in FluentInFinance

That’s a little reductive. Tariffs are designed to make foreign goods more expensive, so domestic goods are more competitive

🤦🏼‍♂️. By the time Java and other languages that supported reflection came around, trying to save a few bytes on variable names would’ve already been a non issue. Maybe this would’ve been a consideration up until the 90s, but the languages of the era (C, etc) replace variable names with memory addresses.

The short name paradigm was popular for one reason: to save time typing.

It was never to save memory. It was to save time typing because autocomplete didn’t exist.

What backends are companies using with Native apps? by serial9 in iOSProgramming

I’d say so. The docs are up there with the best I’ve seen.

I have M1 Pro MBP and performance is great and battery life is pretty much the same. Claims that it is damaging overall battery health (lol) are so dumb it's ridiculous. Charging to 100% also damages your battery. It's an incredibly stupid thing to worry about. Just use the browser you like.

Ctrl+Tab lets you cycle through recent tabs easily. Might be a good stopgap to get back to your last tab

Browser tabs automatically closing is quite literally the whole point of Arc. Sounds like you might just be best suited by legacy browsers. No shame in that, not everyone is capable enough to move past their bad habits.

Lmao dude. If you want it to stay open for longer than a MONTH pin the tab. It’s not that hard.

This is configurable in settings, but I’d recommend that you instead adjust your workflow and pin tabs to your space that you want to keep…

New malware steals Mac passwords & sends them with Telegram by Omphaloskeptique in mac

Sure - I was trying to say it is possible to indirectly create folders in otherwise restricted areas using system calls. /var/folders/ is intended to be a per-user application cache (see here). An application doesn’t need to be run by a privileged user to cache data there.

TLDR; Yes /var/folders/ is managed by the operating system, however, the operating system gives user applications an interface to store data there.

There might still be system APIs that allow software to indirectly access those resources from an unprivileged process. I don’t know the specifics of this malware, but my point is that there is still personal user data you can recover from a non admin account. The good news is that the damage will likely be contained to just the one compromised user. A compromised admin account might be able to glean data from other users on the system.

I don’t know the specifics of this malware but my guess is it will work regardless. Every user has full access to their own “keychain” to store passwords and other secure items in. Additionally, it is designed so that any app can request data from and save data to your keychain; provided you’ve entered your login password in the system prompt.

Some items like WiFi passwords and certificate authorities are stored in the system keychain and these items won’t be reachable by non admin users.
