Honestly, what idiots to fall for the scam. I know my data is in there somewhere, but I have no doubt by paying the ransom, they've only perpetuated the business model further. There is no honour amongst thieves.

This has always been the case. The AK47 was famously designed to be built in a barn. Newer technology makes this easier. Just like it makes a lot of other things easier. But it is not required. https://www.motherjones.com/po...

I decided that when they first went required cloud. I don't buy stuff I don't fully own.

They will not stop at guns. They could require all prints to be run against the US patent office database...

So much this. States are already pushing requirements to not print guns. They will not stop at guns... "Our cloud AI has detected you are trying to print something that may infringe on patent number..."

We're in the middle of emergency patching 6000 Linux hosts to address copy fail, now we have another set of CVEs to urgently patch? Oh boy

Picked and consumed in my late teens. Pretty nice feeling! Like overwhelming joy and giddiness that wants to overflow. Am quite pleased to read these studies, as it would be a bit of a worry if the affects were long term negative. ðYzðY--

I've been trying out Claude for a while. They've had it consolidating and storing key memories for a while now, but still find its a bit poor at deciding what is important. It even forgets stuff in the current chat and needs to be told about it again instead of being able to go back and review what was just a few pages up. This stuff I find chatgpt is much better at.

Claude tells me about 2.9N, a bit less than a can of coke. But with 60% efficiency, up to 90% less fuel than chemical rockets... It can pile that thrust on over months and really get moving.

Who needs enemies when you have the USA for an ally.

Not sure if it's just price gouging or actually supply shortage and increase in dram memory cost... But spinning platters are insane at the moment too

Probably TurboQuant, or another Pied Piper compression algo. ;j

Kind of underselling the type of hacker who has 10 Petabytes of storage on hand. It's not your average everyday hack. That is an organisation and likely state sponsored.

Whilst a lot of economic activity is business to business, a lot is also business to customer, and all workers are customers. No workers, no customers. So if you layoff all your workers you are also getting rid of your customers. That has to be protected.
