This person participated in the bug bounty program and Microsoft refused to pay the bounties on reported bugs. Many news stories covered the situation.

The reported bugs in Defender got CVE's and emergency updates.

Now she's on a mission.

A few tens of thousands of dollars was the cost of avoiding all this.

Correct, but Huang is a also a huge proponent of democratized open source access to AI systems which directly threaten the business potential of large proprietary models.

Expect regulators to try to shut down Huggingface on "national security" grounds soon.

Anthropic thinks their prompts are worth $2T and DoW thinks Claude is good at picking civilian targets for missile strikes.

The only "evidence" against Huang right now is four anonymous Intelligence sources to NYT et. al.. Being a dirty dog doesn't take down a megacorp CEO - unfortunately it's the norm.

Under Michael Yon's model the main geopolitical competition of current day is Han vs. Zion so all this makes sense through that lens.

I'm with the decentralization of power crowd, whichever ethnicity is promoting it this week. Centralization of power always leads to Death Cults.

yeah, I'm sure they were doing updates on the FAA core routers during the busiest part od the travel week, pushing to prod just before the weekend, and at Market close.

C'mon.

Yeah, yeah, they don't want to scare people or admit weakness.

It would be especially odd if this Administration told the truth today for the first time.

Thankfully this turned out to be one-and-done. I totally understand the motivations but I still have stuff to do before the big one.

You log into your Chromebook wirh your .edu account and it disables search for anyone in the org.

Somebody pointed out here last time that if you append &utm=15 or something to the URL it goes back to the old Search.

So it sounds like they're making a huge lie of omission.

What's sad is they could use an LLM to teach Socratically with any search terms but they want so badly to suppress critical thinking and shove "alignment" down kids' throats that they are being belligerent.

The dont-be-evil era company would be making the best teaching Search.

It's a huge market void for someone with more time than I have right now.

They could have set the QoS tag to the lowest level for capped welfare accounts but it sounds like they just wanted to be dicks about it.

Had they behaved decently it's unlikely NY would have taken notice. Maybe other providers will take notice?

I dunno, patronize a better company if you can find one. Higher prices will likely nudge customers to switch even if they don't know the cause.

This guy, along with Al Gore and Hazel O'Leary led the effort to kill the Integral Fast Reactor which was operational by 1991 which simultaneously solved the nuclear waste and energy generation problems.

From what I can tell getting this going was the only thing GHWB did right.

It's said Gore did it to pay off Greenpeace, Kerry did it for the Lincoln Labs tokamak project, and O'Leary did it for Big Oil (like Ford killing Project Liberty). Later Gore parlayed this betrayal into his slide show grift.

Now 35 years later we need cleaner energy, huh? Yeah we flippin' told you that in 1992. And we'll be buying our new reactors from China.

PS China still runs 90% coal. Be careful with the analogies.
