Your quote actually made me go and read the article. Thanks a lot dude, I’m fucking pissed now.

“The city’s role is significant as much as Ms Grossman’s and Mr Erickson’s. The city was on notice of the problem,” Grossman’s attorney, Esther Holm, said in court, referring to a previous complaint issued to the city.

Ms. Holm, your client hit those kids in a crosswalk at 73 MPH. Are you really trying to say the city’s landscaping had equal responsibility in these deaths?

“As we flirt with a prospective IPO for our hilariously unprofitable company, I would just like to say our product is so good it scares me.”

I am guessing that if anyone actually tests that settlement in a court of law that it will not be worth the paper it’s written on. All it takes is one person in the IRS to grow enough of a testicle to actually call for the audit.

This is so dumb. I absolutely love it.

Their entire world view is dictated by their leader. Anything which could contradict or embarrass that leader is a threat.

It will be such a weird case, too! Stealing taxpayer money from one organization to be used in direct opposition of another? It’s such awful fiscal policy that trying to entertain a defense of it might cause Thomas or Alito to have a stroke lol

Every place I’ve ever worked has tried to play cute with security researchers. I’ve never understood it. I’ve always called it out. But I keep fucking running into it!

“The poison is in the dose”.

Also, what an astonishingly uncritical perspective. I think there are plenty of legitimate concerns to raise about LLMs in science, but there’s a reason that researchers are adopting these tools. I suspect it’s because there’s a ton of rote work in the field (literature review, analysis, drafting a document…) and they’re under great pressure to publish on an accelerating cadence.

Bro you can’t even run a publicly traded company. Don’t even say the word “utility”. Fuck outta here.

It wasn’t bad enough that our younger brothers have misogynistic weirdos publishing targeted content to lure them into the manosphere. Nah, we needed big tech to get them hooked on synthetic girlfriends before they understand agency and consent.

They’re certainly making an impressive go of it, but I don’t see anything in their arsenal that’s going to survive sustained attacks.

SPYDER is so comically expensive that resisting long range drones will bankrupt the country, and automated turrets, while much better from a price per kill perspective, simply don’t have the range of other solutions (hundreds of meters at best rather than 40km of SPYDER or 5km of iron dome).

A better solution for the drones in the OP might be the new Rheinmetall platforms with airburst ammunition, but I’m not sure Israel can procure those in the numbers necessary to cover their defenses or infrastructure.

I see them as ways to find content that otherwise wouldn’t be on my radar. I generally don’t let them “talk me out” of seeing something that interests me.

I’ve been wondering about this for a while, but what does it cost to maintain the iron dome when your batteries are depleted and the missiles are on backorder? It’s not like literally anyone else is fielding this equipment, so what happens when the only customer suddenly needs a tall order every week?

Under normal economic conditions, a tamir missile costs about $80k, and a shahed drone costs about $30k (and dropping). These are not normal conditions, and I expect that Israel is going to have spotty coverage in the coming years.

The worst part is that I’m sure Netanyahu and his ilk have priced all this in and agreed that the casualties and long-term dependence on foreign funding and ordnance is a fair trade for the additional territory. I really hope the Israeli people disagree.

People have been pasting garbage they didn’t internalize for decades. What makes AI extra painful is that we’re learning our peers can be persuaded to do it more often by an obsequious answer that shows the most trivial display of engagement with the inputs.

This is probably the most important image on the Internet.

Yes, but the situation is getting strange.

Our model has always been that the reviewer is responsible for protecting the repository. This led to one IC getting fired for “letting in” a catastrophic bug his teammate generated with Claude.

Democrats asked a court to block a reported settlement between the IRS and President Donald Trump over a leak of his tax information during his first term, saying it lacks the bare minimum required to file a lawsuit: two opposing parties.

I guess the question we’re testing here is “can the president use the judicial branch as a key to treat other federal agencies as personal piggy banks?”. Incredibly, this is actually up for discussion.

If this really is the token burn future that the AI bros want, then why does it seem like such a disorganized, leaderless clusterfuck? Why has no one developed the “AI-native vulnerability reporting framework” to not destroy the most critical projects in FOSS?

It all seems terribly shortsighted. If Linux is affected, then a hundred other projects are on the ropes.

It’s like looking back at my own misspent youth. 10/10 great stuff, and wonderfully maintained + displayed.

Ok, how safe haven’t they been? How many were worse than deepwater horizon?

I’m guessing you’ve happily consumed what was given to you on a spoon and accepted that it was representative of the bigger picture.

I grew up an hour from a 1GW reactor that got shut down in part due to “concerned citizens” like yourself. The site it stood on is still periodically checked by the DOE but is now a recreational area. How often do old coal plants do that?
