Seriously, if a person is betting six figures on the whether an interceptor worked, that person needs to re-evaluate their priorities.

Yes, they can, but they can't do it well. As another example to those in the original link, I asked Google Gemini to compare two PDFs to find differences. The PDFs in question were commuter train schedules with different effective dates. The PDFs had tables with stations and times. Some trains were express trains (skipping stops) and some made all stops. I asked, "The attached are railroad schedules for the same train line during different time periods. Summarize the differences between them" followed by "Are there any differences in the timetables for travel between the X station and Y station?" The output detected that there were no differences between the timetables for these two stations (yay!), but it was *terrible* when it tried to list the actual train times; it couldn't figure out when a train skipped a station. After a few back-and-forths, it gave up on determining the train's departure time, and focused on the arrival time at X station. I gave it hints as to the formatting, and it improved.

The lack of privacy is not new. What is new in the last 20 years is the lack of anonymity that mass surveillance has enabled. I did stupid stuff as a kid, but there was almost zero chance of my stupidity being filmed and uploaded for the world to laugh at.

I'm not seeing a paywall on the site. uBlock Origin must be doing something.

The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.
We haven't had cable since ~1999-2000. Downloading and the *arrs have kept us happy, but the better half wanted to check out some live sports. So IPTV it was.

One of our guys said something to the effect of "Copilot is Corporate Chat. It knows all the useless filler of management-speak, but lacks the competence of the people in the trenches.

Ouch.

I've used Claude at home for ages. Work was wanting to get some AI stuff for us and the only 'blessed' one is CoPilot. Everything else it blocked. All senior management seems to know about AI is "Hurrr... Copilot and ChatGPT."

Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.

"Employee bought company ABC's stock after hearing that his employer is planning to acquire ABC" is already against insider-trading laws, which I imagine is part of the training for Warner (I had to retrain every few years when I worked at a public company). Whether ABC was a former employer is not really relevant. The enforcement of the laws is an open issue in the current administration.

I ran a dedupe on my drive and eliminated 8 redundant copies of the goatse guy.

It's a UI prototyping tool. My company's UI folks seem to like the ease of developing prototypes with it, but its organizational system is nonexistent. I can never find any files; the only way I can access any of the files is via links people send me. Maybe this is due to the way the permissions are locked down at my company.

OpenSSH is the best known OpenBSD project, but they also makes pf (used in pfSense, OPNSense, etc.), OpenBGP, OpenNTPD, OpenSMTPD, OpenIKED, LibreSSL, etc.

Came for this comment.

AI is poo.

You're reading my mind. FWIW I've been loving Go the past few years.
