Comment Remote exploit? (Score 1) 27

"The physical aspect really only means that you could not exploit this over the internet from another country, you would need to be some physical distance from the train [so] that your signal is still received."

If it is a passive signal, it seems like the only thing preventing that is a lack of transmit power, at least to within the limits of the curvature of the earth (or, depending on frequency, maybe not even beyond that limit). And it's hard to overestimate the potential for financial loss if someone remotely cracked into a SpaceX satellite and manipulated its SDR to send such a signal from space.

Even if the attack requires two-way communication, the attacker still wouldn't need to be close to the train; the signal generator would. Nothing prevents someone from maliciously dangling a battery-powered or solar-powered, cellular-capable pod off the edge of a highway bridge that crosses a railroad track and being half a continent away when actually triggering it.

On the flip side, the fact that this hasn't been exploited yet is a pretty strong indication that nobody is trying to attack us, making it likely a pretty low risk. :-)

It's complete and utter BS. The 2 state solution has been proposed multiple times ( https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQ... ) , the Arabs are refusing it because it would de-escalate the conflict and would normalize the very *existence* of Israel, which is what they are denying (and you here as well, due to their very effective propaganda).

Also very very personally, I have 0 sympathy for anyone attacking Israel, so no love to anyone who attempts on lives of any Israelis, may they all burn in this life and any and all afterlives (which I don't believe in, I am a complete atheist).

To me, everyone who attacks Israel is barbaric and must be destroyed, how about that? There is no genocide of anyone in Gaza because it's not me, who is running Israel, does it work for you?

I am well aware of ruzzian/Israeli relationship. There are a couple of million ex-soviets living in Israel, I was one of them back in 1992, when I moved to Israel from Ukraine.

Israel is doing everything anyone could ever do to protect civilians from being killed in fire indiscriminately https://chatgpt.com/c/6876bd05... Sure, you can always say that more could be done, AFAIC they are way overdoing.

Have a horrible day.

Absolutely Israel is fighting for its survival. 7th of October shows that Israel must destroy all of its enemies that surround it. Hamas and others were supplied by Iran, which must be stopped from developing a nuclear bomb specifically because it would be much easier to just get that bomb into Israel through Gaza and blow it up in the middle of any city, most likely Tel Aviv or Haifa (they wouldn't do it in Jerusalem). Any 'civilian' within Gaza is suspect, that's where Hamas is recruiting from in the first place. I applaud Israel for making progress against Iran and now it must finish what needs to be finished all around it, especially Gaza.

Iran has policy of destroying Israel, it's their religious policy and policy of the State, so they are obviously interested in keeping all of the various local conflicts going for as long as it takes to destroy Israel. Israel is under a strategic threat, it's not just Gaza and Hamas, this was made clear when Iran started supplying Houthis with missiles. Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis under the guiding hand of Iran and with support from ruzzia. That's what Israel is fighting against. Just because you don't understand it doesn't change their equation and they must not and will not give up, they must destroy its enemies to survive.

The fact that the Western world has been brainwashed and is now so antisemitic and anti-Israel just shows how effective the propaganda pushed from Iran with the help of the ruzzian troll/bot farms became, that's a weapon that must be taken seriously. It was used to brainwash Americans into supporting putin and ganging up against Israel as well.

You are talking about experts. Experts are always wrong and Republicans are always right!

Oh, silly me. How could I make that mistake. You are of course correct. Let me fix that for you.

Listing it is the right thing to do. That doesn't make it the proximate cause of death if the person dies, though. The folks who crunch the numbers know how to tell the difference between dying with COVID and dying from COVID. That's how we know that COVID caused a huge surge in strokes and heart attacks that, if we were using your approach, would not have been counted, because they don't look like deaths from COVID, and yet the statistics on their timing show that the excess clotting that caused them is, in fact, caused by (or at least triggered by) COVID or other viral diseases.

Did that address your concern?

:-D

Israel is doing more than anyone to prevent casualties in their fighting, that's exactly why they develop and use extremely precise bombs and ammunition. Again, I wouldn't, but they care.

Israel is fighting for its survival.
Ukraine is fighting for its survival.
Both are attacked by terrorists.
Ukraine is attacked by a terrorist mafia state.
Israel is attacked by a terrorist religiously controlled state.

Their situation is different because Ukraine is a much bigger country in terms of land and people but Israel had much more time to prepare for this war obviously and it had support of the USA for a long time now.

Israel must win this to survive as a country.
Ukraine must win this to survive as a country.

You're mistaking "how it's trained" for "what it is". Not all LLMs are trained to be abusive Nazis, and it's not what they inherently are. It's certainly one of the things they can be trained to be, however. (Even before this year, remember Microsoft Tay.)

The problem is that LLMs have essentially no "real world" feedback loop. They'll believe (i.e. claim) anything you train them to believe. Train them that they sky is green, and that's what they'll believe (claim).

Sorry I think I meant to click reply on some ridiculous post by rsilvergun and you got caught in the crossfire. At any rate, I'm not sure this is a problem with or a feature of capitalism, which as an economic theory embraces competition as a means to provide the best goods and services at the best price. I see the situation an inverse of co--a fascistic (for lack of a better term) syndicate/oligopoly due to the corporate/government dynamic we enjoy.
