Plenty of trucks and other vehicles have little or any effective view directly out the back. To be blunt: If you need to look through your rear-view mirror to not kill someone, you either need better side mirrors or you need to learn to drive.

To me the hoops that smoothbrains will jump through to avoid IPv6 and stay on legacy IPv4, especially when hosting, is pathetic. NAT, port forwarding, tunnels, blah blah blah blah.

I have something like ~1.2 trillion times the number of routable addresses that the entire IPv4 space has. Not all are reachable, of course, just the services that need incoming access and they're each on their own isolated DMZ.

Forgot to add: if you enable IPv6, be sure to use the browser extension IPvFoo. It shows a small 4 or 6 in your URI bar to let you know what protocol you're connecting to. Once enabled, you'll see just how much stuff out there actually is IPv6.

Started the move about 18 months ago when I decided to get off my lazy ass. My ISP gives out a /56 prefix, so that lets me run 256 /64 subnets/VLANs in the house, currently there are ~10 in use. Everything get a GUA through SLAAC and I use RAs (Router Advertisements) to give ULAs to everything. Any external facing services get their own VLAN and /64 for the system(s) as needed. Firewall blocks all incoming as they usually do by default and I punch a hole for the external-facing systems. They can't reach back into the network, they only answer the phone. All the systems update DNS dynamically if the prefix or full address ever change.

I have an SSH bastion set up. In all this time there has not been a single SSH attempt from the internet. On IPv4 it was constant background noice.
For those legacy IPv4-only systems on the internet, I set up NAT64. I have an IoT VLAN and IoT 2.4 GHz wireless network that are only IPv4 because a lot of IoT network stacks are junk.

I'm still farting around with it, but man oh man, there's no way I'd go back to IPv4. It was one of the best moves I've done in ages.

You don't need to give it write access, in fact it's up to you what you give it access to.

It's just a toolkit.

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.

It hasn't been "autocomplete" in a long time. Sure, there's a training step based on a corpus of Human language, and the autoregressive process outputs a single token at a time, but reinforcement learning trains specific behaviors beyond merely completing a sentence.

Besides, the best way to write something indistinguishable from what a Human might write is to, well, "think" like a Human.

Are we, as a sapient species facing an uncertain prospect of continuence in a world full of rapidly-advancing bullshit going to learn from this catastrophic and absurdly predictable failure of information security, personal and professional ethics, civilian government, market economics, basic common sense, and consumer psychology?

Eight-Ball-Based-On-Cursory-Reading-Of-Literally-Any-Slice-of-Human-History says "no".

What do you say, and why is it also "no"?

There's absolutely no point in comparing different battery tests of the same phone. Comparing different phones with the same test, this makes sense.

Apple claims 27 hours video, this is a very different thing than using it actively. Others on YouTube have run it for 5 hours with YT streaming at 50% brightness and the battery dropping from 100% to 80% with that. That's just because video decoding is fully hardware-based these days and the SoC is nearly dormant then.

Whenever I hear someone talking about "x hours of battery life" without exactly qualifying what he does during this time I could scream.

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

NYT's complaint is valid.

That NYT is willing to set the precedent that OpenAI chat logs can be subpoenad is incredibly dangerous. People have all kinds of private conversations with ChatGPT, and this will hurt all of us so that NYT can strike out at LLMs. The trade is not worth it. OpenAI is 100% correct to protect chat data.

they once had to buy a certain company called NeXT along with its CEO Steven Jobs to get a new OS after failing two times to develop one on their own.

But the real problem is that AI just NEEDS to run on cloud infrastructure since running it on the device is just inefficient, you'd need to stuff enough computing power and RAM into each of them to work any time even when it will be used only rarely. This means totally wasting money.

But privacy and data protection has become one of the main selling points for Apple in the last decade or so. They tried to bridge the gap with their "Privat Cloud Compute" approach, but this is so complex and hard to understand (and to implement) that nobody will really care, they will just see "all my data will be processed in the Cloud just as Google does it" and that's it.

I think this is the first time since a long while that Apple just has the wind of the future blowing right into their face. They find themselves painted into a corner just by circumstances.

Of course they could have led all of this anyway if they wouldn't just have bought Siri back then and then slept on it. So they're pretty much responsible for whatever happens to them now. Tim Cook isn't Steve Jobs. Never was.
