Both States just turned blue

That's not entirely accurate. Arizona did move to be fully controlled by Democrats (governor, senate, house) but Texas is still split as Republicans hold a majority in the Texas State Senate while Democrats have the governor and house.

I'm not saying anything you have said is wrong but Texas Republicans may move to frustrate efforts to curb data centers in Texas. That said, SpaceX is likely looking to cement any deals with the state governments before 2027 when the power shift takes effect. You are correct that the shift in political reality is likely complicate matters for SpaceX.

This is precisely the kind of inexact data that neural networks are perfect for forging. All you need is to feed bit of read data into it and it will be able to generate all the days of your life. Hell, classify the events you feed it and you can turn a narrative into "heartbeat" reality.

The upside of this is that if this takes off that you can have your bot post banal bullshit daily about your perfect fitness life and the cost of your health insurance may be lowered because you know they are selling your data.

The reason they are doing this is because AI cuts through all their bullshit that is designed to fool humans. Naturally, they have no problem with you using their AI which undoubtedly is instructed to lead people to accept worse options.

AI is stupid but United Airlines is a bunch of hypocrites that is bursting at the seams with malice.

Submission + - Kremlin shaken as leak exposes 450,100 Russian soldiers killed (aol.com)

schwit1 writes: Vladimir Putin's catastrophic battlefield casualties have been exposed in a massive cyber breach disclosing that up to 450,000 Russian troops have perished in Ukraine. In a mortifying setback to Moscow's strictly controlled wartime information operations, hackers penetrated the Russian state statistics bureau, Rosstat, and obtained thousands of classified documents containing official mortality records registered between February 2022 and August this year.

The coordinated digital assault was carried out by pro-Ukrainian activist collective Silent Crow in partnership with the Belarusian Cyber Partisans, both designated by the Kremlin as extremist organizations. Silent Crow examined the breached data and estimated the Russian fatality count at an astounding 450,100 service members.

If I were an EU citizen, I could refrain from using tiktok. But I could not refrain from living under a government that thinks I'm a child.

Given the sophomoric nature of your regular posts, you are a child. Have you still not realized that the very things you scream for are also the things destroying this nation?

If you try to find the flaws as a defender, you have already lost.

Non-sense! There are plenty of very well designed software packages built using defensive programming practices that still have security flaws. To claim you have already lost when using those measures is to claim that only code with years of tireless review like NASA's near flawless software is good enough.

Comment Good. (Score 4, Insightful) 47

Just because we lacked the resources to find software flaws didn't mean that there were never massive vulnerabilities just waiting to be discovered, it just means it required dedication to find them. The lack of investment in security is about to be laid bare for all to see. Those that are actually interested in making secure software now have the opportunity to get even closer to that goal. Everyone that has been doing (and continues to do) the bare minimum is about to get a lesson in the importance of investing in real security.

Good security is expensive but having bad security is about to cost a whole lot more.

The issue of daylight savings has largely been solved by shifting clocks a minute every day for sixty days. The obvious problem is that we didn't build our electronics based on the concept of variable lengths in the days. However, we could mandate that all new electronics either have a built-in calendar, have NTP capability, use celluar towers for synchronization, or not have a clock at all and at the end of a decade or two we could switch to a much healthier approach. However, it will never happen because of businesses like trains, airlines, financial markets, and international logistics rely on a synchronized timeline which means it would need to more than just a single nation that uses this scheme but the whole world.

TL;DR: it's just not lethal enough of a problem to get solved, especially when the money changers get involved.

Submission + - SGI IRIX Indigo Magic Desktop recreation with AI: Cyanotype Blueprint Desktop (niten.irix.expert)

MIPSPro writes: Someone has re-created the Indigo Magic Desktop for the SGI IRIX operating system as a rather large scale undertaking with dozens of applications and preferences straight out of 2006. It's a BSD licensed affair with an actual IRIX port and several other platforms including Solaris SPARC and x86_64 BSD and Linux systems. It's based on man custom extensions to MOTIF much like SGI's SGM libraries for notebook widgets and non-MOTIF goodies. It runs on many x11 platforms including Xorg and X11Libre as well as forthcoming ports to Tru64 Alpha, and AIX 6.1 on POWER4 or better, and HP-UX 11iv3 Integrity and PA-RISC HP-UX 11.31. There is also a Citrix clone "CyThrough" and a CalDAV desktop calendar, Sunbeam.
