I don’t have it handy, but I recommend reading Anthropic’s report about mythos and security. They state that in the long run, models which can iteratively build an attack against a perceived vulnerability will be a major win for defenders, but in the short term, they present an advantage to attackers since they basically expose oodles of new zero days.
What an incredibly sad thing to admit.
I’d nearly forgotten how he sent JD “Mercy stroke” Vance to resolve the situation.
Those of us who lived through the Microsoft vs Linux debacle know that you don’t need a large, popular distribution to manufacture a legal challenge. All you need is something that effectively undermines the opposition’s legal basis.
I am not sure open source can reproduce the “LinkedIn experience”. I’m also not sure that’s a huge loss. That place is a dumpster fire on a steep hill.
It’s the sort of move that might look like a clever reversal, but ultimately has a very steep price tag.
A blockade is an act of war, and this one is clearly pointed at the rest of the world, not Iran. It’s predicated on the same faulty assumption that Trump’s administration made when invading Iran: our military is unanswerable, and they will take it lying down.
Escalation paths from this are all bad-- what if an EU ship ignores challenges from a US Navy vessel, or China sends a military escort with a shipping fleet? Are we really about to start another shooting war, or will we stand there with our dicks in our hands as they sail by?
I’m thinking this brilliant idea is abandoned in a week.
Gosh, I wonder what Iran thinks about that idea? The article has this to say:
Any “joint venture” was not part of Iran’s 10-point peace plan that the U.S. agreed to and the president previously called “workable.”
And that’s it! Guess this one is still in the “concept of a plan” phase.
“The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today,” she said, adding that “numerous fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been calculating [sic] on social media for years now”.
So this isn’t about empowering the victims of Epstein’s criminal enterprise to find justice, it’s about punishing them for inconveniencing her?
That’s utterly ghoulish. Jesus Christ, Melania.
Space exploration is weight lifting for science.
TIL that objects re-entering the atmosphere vary considerably in their initial velocities, and that ones from further out (e.g. lunar visits) tend to be much faster than those from LEO. It’s not intuitively surprising, but I’d assumed that given the “narrow window” used for re-entry, all objects needed to dump enough velocity to arrive in a fairly tight band.
Does it support unit dependencies? That’s pretty much the only reason I use systemd outside of work. Edit: ah yeah it sure does. I know what I’m playing with next weekend.
Yeah, I had a good laugh at this. Half of the commits I review are coauthored by Claude, a fact that I’m sure Anthropic is thrilled to claim, but this colossal fuck up was obviously the work of a rogue intern or something.
I wonder if there’s going to be a point in the future where we all look back at this massive over-investment and kick ourselves for making so much expensive electronics waste.
It’s the missing GitHub status page.
GitHub is teetering on one 9 over an entire quarter. There are serious, systemic problems in Microsoft’s shop.
For top left I’d like to humbly nominate SCO Unix.
Like anyone who’s been paying the least bit of attention, I was wondering “wait, what’s new here?”
In a letter sent Tuesday to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Raskin said the documents point to a broader risk to national security, writing: “These new disclosures suggest that Donald Trump stole documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire U.S. government had access to them, that the documents President Trump stole pertained to his business interests.”
This is more interesting than the headline, in my opinion. The claim that they “pertained to his business interests” is not exactly the same thing as selling them to the highest bidder. It suggests either that Trump’s businesses are the subject of intense scrutiny by the fed or, more likely and more worrying, Trump is much deeper into brokering sensitive information than we expected (as in, it’s one of his main sources of income).
See, this is why openai can never go public: if it has to open its books, the music stops.
Disney does not have the luxury of teasing its investors with billion dollar deals-- every quarter, they have to report where they’re stacking their chips, and any cute shit will get them sued and investigated at a minimum. They probably expect their peers to meet them halfway on that.
Openai is not a serious company. When a major prospective partner like fucking Disney wants to open a billion dollar account, what possible excuses could a real company have for not figuring it out?
At least pushing it is free :)
Yeah, I’m with you on that (like, if it were a fake attempt, wouldn’t you want the shooter to not be a Republican?), but there are enough weird things around the shooting that it should give anyone pause.
The big one that I haven’t seen a compelling answer for is how someone managed to get on a roof within comfortable plinking distance of a former president running for reelection and then fire multiple shots before getting dusted. “Incompetence” is the only answer we’ve been given, so I’m not surprised that conspiracy theorists are flocking to this.
