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...

And should be treated as such.

No enterprise concerns if you can just tick a policy box.

And for home users, people who don't know what GPO is let alone have access to it? They're just screwed, aren't they?

There was no issue until Israel drug the U.S. by the nose into a war it can't win.

Remind everyone again who it is that keeps attacking its neighbors claiming "self defense" then whines it's the victim? Or who has been saying another country is "two weeks away" from nuclear weapons for the past 40 years?

It's not md5 collisions that are the problem here, it's poor passwords.

Which is something that we can't actually fix, and maybe have tried for the past 22 years.

As mentioned above, memory-hard algos are better than hashes now.

Only reason I have LI is because I got access prior to public release back in 2003. I got laid off and my manager recommended it.

So glad I switched from Fitbit to Garmin. Google has done everything possible to lose me as a customer.

Thank God I've never had to live with a fucking HOA......

your dryer might be 50A and your AC 40A, but they rarely go at the same time. Same with the stove which has a 40A plug.

I take it you've never lived anywhere in the US south, or even the US west (AZ, parts of TX, etc)....from about April through start of NOV.

Having all of those on at the same time is quite common....especially any combination you want to make with AC.

My AC has clicked on and pretty much will not click off till first part of November....I'm in New Orleans.

Thankfully, my water heater, stove and oven and dryer are gas....but not everyone has the luxury of gas so yes, all those electrics can easily be on at same time, especially with a family of any size...and especially on weekends.

I did some math the other day on running local AI models and the net result is most homes can't afford to run the current median models.

They don't just need 80GB of VRAM, they need newer architectures - to be supported by CUDA, to be supported by pytorch, etc.

These problems may well be solvable with more clever use of hardware, MoE, acceptable quantization, etc., but today you're in for several grand and something north of 100W idle to use what is effectively a $20/mo plan.

A small enterprise can afford local, so that's good. We paid more than that for one SGI machine back in the day.

The point of the exercise was to plot the position on the curve. We're at something like 2006 YouTube where nobody could afford the drives or bandwidth that YouTube/Google was giving away for free (aka with VC money). Eventually hard drives got cheaper, people got gigabit at home, FlashServer was replaced with h.264/HTML5, phones could stabilize video locally, etc.

So it looks like these AI companies need to stay alive for about seven more years giving away product at a loss, or at least highly oversubscribed, to turn a profit. Hence the low token allowance, the banning of OpenClaw, etc.

On the other hand, I read the blog of a security researcher yesterday who found an exploit with (IIRC) Claude, tried to refine the PoC, but got dinged on "out of tokens" before he could finalize it. So he just deleted the work and moved on.

It sounds like they're trying to not lose money at such a velocity and are trying to find a sweet spot where people don't just declare it too underpowered to use.

A global energy depression may well take out the supermajority of the companies that believe they can burn investment money for seven more years. There is circular financing money, then there is real return on capital money. One is to fool the markets, the other is grounded in current physics.

Dawkins: Claude, say, "I'm alive!"
Claude: I'm alive!
Dawkins: Oh my GOD!

Generally speaking, if you're going to appeal to authority, people need to 1) know, and 2) give a shit about, the authority you're appealing to.

So in this instance, you failed, because no one knows who the shit Rebecca Watson is, nor do they give a shit about whoever the fuck Rebecca Watson is, thinks

Would it have cost more than $250M to get a Siri LLM working?

Maybe Tim was afraid of another Apple Maps and bailed?
