But if the moron is going to brag that his product is a national security threat... Come on... It's like protesting that some moron got arrested for joking about bombs at airports

All the most profitable regulations are founded in FUD.

But "harvest now, decrypt later" is a real threat quantum or not.

There are a lot pictures on politician's telephones which would be damning today or in 20 years. And no, there are no encryptions are from time.

Do you seriously not have a clue?

You see this as a bad thing? This is a hell of an achievement and it's really impressive. And so you know, a lot of the CVEs were code fixes not just to windows but to open source projects which Linux depends heavily on, such as web browser engines. So, if you want to go down this path, I think you should also say "shouldn't the entire non-Microsoft infrastructure be embarrassed that Microsoft has to clean up their mess?"

Consider this, if all of this is being found and fixed by Microsoft, where are all the fixes for other platforms? Are we not advertising them? Are we keeping the vulnerabilities secret? Do you honestly think that Safari is on par with a web browser engine developed by multiple top companies? What about Firefox? How vulnerable is that and we don't even know it?

I still have my Thomas Guides!

Spin up a LIVE based VM, with one of the more secure browsers. Then when you're done, all the cookies are poof ... gone.

This bypasses almost all forms of tracking/fingerprinting browsing systems.

Also, why can't hackers figure out how to poison cookies?

We are living out the TV show. Everything in that show is coming true (if it wasn't already).

If you haven't seen it, it is very entertaining, and now almost seemingly prophetic.

...is to not collect the data in the first place.

So, it used to be that the EU would sue for a valley company for a few billion every year or two to pay for the operations of the government.

The UK is out of that loop and realizing it needs a fund raiser.

But honestly, I think if were Microsoft, I would just consider shutting down UK operations.

Doesn't this suggest that the free market economy has lost to communism when the government of the leader of the world's free market economy admits that it can no longer compete in the free market economy without socialist protectionism?

More people are born
More people need work
More people are creative about what to do
More people see other people needing better tools
More people make better tools
More people become more efficient
Less people are needed for the existing jobs
More people struggle to find more creative ideas
Market demand in every major sector can be met without more workers

And here's the real kicker. The best place to find jobs right now is in making better tools... which reduces jobs.

I am the specific target audience for these drives.

And ... they are a TERRIBLE idea.

Assume PCIex4 v5.0 for the interface. That's a theoretical 15.75GB/sec. To read this drive sequentially would take 4.25 hours.

This is so slow it's absolutely useless for AI. Assume for a moment I loaded 8 of these into a 1u chassis. 800Gb XDR InfiniBand would be too slow, a double link would work. But you would be better off building half-U trays with four drives and an 800Gb link.

That said, let's say you had half a rack of that. That would be 48x245TB or about 12PB. And remember this is performance storage, not reliable storage. Everything here should be treated as entirely volatile... it's just cheap/slow RAM, it's not bad.

I think overall, I would architect a similar system on 64TB sleds because with the exception of rack space and power (and the drives use no power next to GPUs), 64TB drives destroy 245TB drives in every way.

Once we hit PCIe v9.0 or so and 4Tb Ethernet or InfiniBand, then 245TB will start making sense.

If Micron wanted a serious product, they would have dropped U.2 in favor of Ethernet or InfiniBand.

Huawei too

Huawei has great massive scale power systems.

Yup, all models can do this. If they have reasoning, they can crack. In fact many models without reasoning can crack easily enough.

The number of jobs are increasing, because the number of jobs being filled is rapidly decreasing. So, new job listings are often old job listings reworded to exclude more candidates.

If you have one or two good engineers (not programmers, not developers... honest to goodness engineers) who with AI can keep 15-20 tasks running simultaneously (the cost is GPUs and screens), you don't need to hire someone right now.

Companies want the best they can get. They don't want to fill seats anymore. If they already have a few developers, the LLMs are increasing their productivity 10-20x (yes, real engineers who learn LLMs and how to use them as though they're programming languages get that kind of gain), then they can hold out.

Here's a great one for you... I would never hire anyone without a great GitHub now. I want to see projects and I want to see both hand written code and LLM generated code. I want to see external projects they've patched to see if they can work on other peoples code. I want to see student/professional projects (things with deadlines) AND fun projects.

I'm in no rush. I will post a job, if I don't find someone great, I'll change the posting and wait again. LLMs will give me the buffer I need.

Google, Microsoft and Meta profit by open sourcing models. (more like hedges their losses)

OpenAI released shit models as open source and OpenAI and Anthropic are junk without gigantic caches from mass economy. The model is far less important than the cache. So, if Anthropic actually opened anything it would be junk too.

And I think the Pentagon should be legally required to make their own models. I think that depending on external companies for their most important technology is idiotic. The government should own and operate their own drone companies and their own AI companies. They should not legally be allowed to use outsiders that are easily influenced by external entities.
