I said some kind words about Anthropic when they refused to do targeting foreign and domestic.

In retrospect that was myopic praise.

I resd a story about someone with Bitcoin keys on a laptop which they lost access to.

It was put on a shelf waiting for an exploit like this.

If you already did it for dirtyfrag you're good.

The trouble with Transhumanists is that they all imagine there will eventually be only one human per company with an army of AI's to do the work.

But they all think they'll be that one person.

Also, they're insane.

Boogergooks.

They've never met 7th Grade boys, have they?

When CUDA started taking off we had ATI hardware, to support their open source pledge, and looked into ROCm.

Just getting the drivers to build on EL-anything was an extreme effort, and it wasn't my first rodeo.

Without betraying confidences, I was told second-hand that there were only ten people on the GPU driver team across all platforms and that they were doing their best and not sleeping enough as it was, with Compute way behind gaming bugs on the priority list.

I couldn't independently verify of course but the theory fit the data.

I immediately empathized with the suffering of the devs and went out and bought nVidia cards, annoying binary drivers and all.

Since then I've felt like that some bean counter at AMD wrote nVidia a trillion dollar check.

If you're not a tiny company *overstaff* your engineering departments so you don't miss new opportunities as they arise. The opportunity costs exceed the opex costs.

Same here but this lack of support will matter much less than dropping i486.

There are still embedded systems sold today that only meet i486 specs. I don't use them but some industries do.

Sure a $12 ESP32 can handle those tasks but it's a revalidation thing.

Not that anybody from those vendors stepped forward to maintain a tree.

OTR might be small enough.

The Axolotl Ratchet is much better but perhaps too big for SMS.

TextSecure probably would have offered it were that feasible.

Of course if you can arrange one-time pads you're 1:1 at 140 characters.

Really this is far more probable than a dozen people went crazy in the same way at the same time which seems to be a plurality of comments.

If there's an American great ape they live in Washington state, not Ohio, based on report frequency.

Star Wars nerds? Yes, so many in Ohio.

His best buddy specialized in making exploding pagers.

Good luck out there.

In my younger and more foolish days I had a Pontiac and I opted out with wire cutters to the Surveillance module's power cables.

At the time I was actually more concerned with remote unlock hijacking than tracking but still I didn't trust GM.

All together now: WE TOLD YOU SO.

If I had to guess 20 years later doing that would disable the ECU.

Yeah, this sounds like some kind of jaded Transhumanist humiliation ritual.

If true as written, those 'monks' are without honor or reverence.

Are there any tools to watch my lsmod, walk /lib/modules, and configure modprobe.d to deny loading anything I'm not using?

All of these exploits are in distro modules I'd never use.

Local access, unless you haven't patched apache this week, then it's remote access.

It looks like a omen to take up farming.

Maybe I should pull some of my 4TB nvme sticks and buy my kid a used car...
