Who would have thought...

This has been going on since crapto became big enough and its likely a main reason crapto is still around? Crime-support in the from of tax evasion, crime financing and money-laundering was always a major application scenario for crapto. Obviously, it also serves as a scam vessel by "value" manipulation (see Musk and Trump, for examples doing that).

This is called "being careful". They could just have done what Boeing does and risked a few 100 dead but avoided that costly "recall". Instead they determined the possible causes and eliminated the most likely ones, and those include an unknown software fault. They currently are not finding that fault and hence they think it may have been a rare but possible event like a bit flip.

Nice! Also pretty accurate. Well, build houses of cards on sand and this happens. What I do not get is that these people do not see it. It is neither difficult to understand not is it without precedent. In fact, there is a very large body of examples from when other engineering disciplines struggled to get to maturity. And it is even in the mainstream media (for example the Titanic, Tchernobyl and Fukushima).

These people must be determinedly dumb, uneducated and incompetent.

Indeed. The problem of IT security has always been asymmetric, but AI makes this massively worse. The small advantages AI offers on the defenders gets annihilated and then steamrollered over by the advantages to the attackers.

Without the influx of tons of Windows people (that do not get it) into the Linux space, systemd would never have been a thing. That same problem could or could not happen with the xBSDs, but it should at the very least be far away. Meanwhile, all my Devuan installations and the few remaining non-systemd Debian installations continue to run perfectly fine and with no gross security problems.

I am currently beginning to think that Rust may actually improve software security. Not because of its features, but because of that steep learning curve. We have too many incompetents writing software. Rust may be too hard for them. If so, good.

But please, get the Rust spec done. A "secure" programming language without a spec is simply embarrassing.

Yep. The nuclear industry is famous for its bombastic empty promises. And the morons believing them.

And then run it without incident and good uptimes for at the very least 5 years. At that time I will start listening.

Before? The whole thing is just fantasies and hopes and dreams, no substance.

My prediction is that all this "AI Agent" stuff will be dead within at most 2 years due to spectacular failures. They already have created really easy to use attack paths on people's systems and data several times now and they cannot really secure them.

I find it totally fascinating how determinedly these "decision makers" try to ignore that LLMs cannot deliver anything but a tiny fraction of the claims made about them.
Groupthink, FOMO, plain old stupid, all intensely at work.

In other news, LLMs and generative AI lose potential application scenarios that would make operating them worthwhile left and right. Apparently different art communities see it as fraud if you use generative AI and not declare that. And if you declare, nobody wants your stuff anymore. Nice!

I'll find out in mid January, lol - it's en route on the Ever Acme, with a transfer at Rotterdam. ;) But given our high local prices, it's the same cost to me of like 60kg of local filament, so so long as the odds of it being good are better than 1 in 8, I come out ahead, and I like those odds ;)

That said, I have no reason to think that it won't be. Yasin isn't a well known brand, but a lot of other brands (for example Hatchbox) often use white-label Yasin as their own. And everything I've seen about their op looks quite professional.

You know Ferdinand Porsche did time in jail for war crimes right?

What's your next argument going to be? Hitler couldn't have been a Nazi because he was born before the party existed?

Also Messerschmitt was bought by DASA, which was then bought by Airbus. Willy Messerschmitt isn't the founder of Airbus. Get off the narccs.

Also busses, tractors and combines and all sorts of farm equipment, everything that could be looted from businesses and homes was looted. Hundreds of thousands of children were kidnapped.

ruzzia is a scourge, always was always will be, unfit to exist on this planet.

Every time I say it here, I am moded down as a troll, doesn't change the reality.

Basic chemistry? Like what? Like this?

And their manufacturing is heavily subsidized by the Chinese government, and not just that, but it's being done in a way that is completely unsustainable. These cars are literally being dumped, not just globally but INSIDE of China:

For the life of me, I don't understand why you put so much faith in a country who's own government actually lies TO ITSELF to the point that even the politburo has no idea what their actual numbers are. And the ones they do know about are so bad that they literally stopped publishing them:

But then again, as you've demonstrated previously, you yourself like disinformation so much that you enjoy casually creating your own. So perhaps that's exactly why you are so fascinated by them?
