As a musician I can promise you trying to figure out the "foreign" context wont help you understand Angine de Poitrine. The whacky costumes and the like are part of a very english speaking tradition, punk absurdism. Likewise musically, they are coming from a group of musical genres thats about as english speaking as you get , prog rock and jam bands. That they are french speaking canadians is almost irrelevant, other than the fact that they've been known amonst qubecans longer than the rest of the anglosphere. The "foreignness" of its part of the whole show. They are *intending* to not seem familiar.

Oh yeah, lawyers are paranoid on that. Lawyer friend of mine had me build an AI thing that uses vector searchers to search legal cases and shit. Works well, specifically designed never to make a legal judgement (save that for humans). But it can not under any circumstances go online. So it runs a GPT-OSS model on a mac studio with 512gb ram that never ever connects to the internet. There is so much trouble a lawyer can get into if they fuck up privacy.

Actually as someone who rides ebikes and scooters exclusively, I think regulating isn't a bad idea.

I dont care for the licence plate shit. But some common sense rules would do a lot. 25km/h/ uh that'd be 15miles/hour in american moon units, is a pretty sensible top speed. If you crash at 25km/h its an ouchie, not a life altering injury. Its fast enough to be practical for folks who live in the city (I travel about 5 km from work, its a pleasant ride). Don't let kids ride them. Don't let drunks ride them. And don't sell ones that are clearly dangerous. Its how those of us in rest of the world do it, and its fine.

If an attacker gets this far, you have already messed up. Still should be patched ASAP.

We've been in the cloud era 15 years now. Docker hosts, Kubernetes pods, Lambdas, Even old fashion cpanel hosts. All of these are at risk, even if the users are otherwise doing everything right.

There appears to be a small group of people who think that wearing a VR helmet for hours could be fun, and CEOs appear to be over-represented in that small group. Even if the likes of Vision Pro were sold for 35 $, I would still not want to wear one for any extended period of time.

I'm going to assume that its the same cohort of people that used to be convinced we'd all be using Bitcoin instead of money any day now, instead of just using it for gambling, speculative trading and buying heroin. Then when that all turned out to be bit of a nonsense buble shifted into NFTs, then when that failed shifted to "metaverses", and now that the metaverse has proven to be a bust have now become "Lets stuff AI into ltierally everything" zealots.

Wealthy, non productive, marketing vultures with nary an inch of relationship to shared reality.

Well by the sound of it none of those "Applle cult menbers" actually brought the bloody thing.

Not much of a cult really.

How does ANY of this make sense. We're paying people NOT to generate energy?

Undoing the damage this bezerk administration is doing to science , society and the environment will take decades. Good luck explaining THAT to your grandkids.

People rent those Lime and Bird scooters

Maybe its different in the US. But here in australia those scooters where disasters. They DID lead to a lot of people buying scooters of their own, but the rental ones tended to invade areas, get a bunch of people killed from drink riding (putting them in nightclub districts was straight up idiocy in my area) and other idiocy, and then get banned.

And while running people hated them. I was constantly having to interupt my morning commute to go and pull all the scooters abandoned out the front of my house (I live in front of a bus stop) away from the drive way to get out.

I like the idea in principle. In practice it was a mess. I cant imagine it playing out differently elsewhere. I doubt any of these hire scooter companies are particularly profitable

These ideas have been around for a while. Back in the day there was something called "colinux" that did a similar thing to what WSL does. It worked surprisingly well, effectively bridging X and the audio system out to windows, and running a kernel in a user space windows process.

It seemed to die from lack of interest, and I was honestly perplexed by that. It was *super useful* to me being able to linux on my work Win2000 machine back in the day.

Though its jarring to go back and read the old website and it boasting it can work with up to 512mb ram. Thats how far back we are talking.

However better control and oversight could be executed at the university level.

In theory that I wouldn't disagree with. But how would you propose the fed decides how much to allocate to those universities to distribute? Kicking the problem down to a lower level while on paper sounds like a good proposition, the problem still exists, but now more occluded from public scrutiny

I am curious to hear their ideas on how to phase out use of fertilizer and plastics. Sustenance farming living in log cabins wearing animal skins is one way to do it.

Pointless sentiment. Of course countries will still use oil products. The whole point is to not be putting those oil products into the atmosphere. For instance, by using it for fertilizer and plastics.

Have a look at the map dude. Iraq is a mostly land locked country on the far end of the persian gulf, far from where the hormuz straight is. They definitely could have fucked with the oil facilities in Kuwait, but last time they tried that the americans dropped the hammer on them very rapidly.

Plus, the Iranian military is around 7-10 times the size of Iraq's, and around twice the population, so theres that.

Back in the 1990s when I used to attend a lot of "extreme" metal gigs, there was a local grind metal band who where on this permanent quest to discover the "brown note", a mythical infrasonic frequency that would cause the listener to shit their pants. Thankfully for us punters, no such tone exists. One could imagine however using an ultrasound frequency like the researchers suggest to induce a perception of smelling shit. Heck, even get the audience to puke. Thankfully said band are now all in their 50s-60s (and likely not actually a band no more) and probably less interested in such irresponsible, but possibly funny, experiments.

Im not sure what actual power the judge has here. Internationally those sorts of orders have no status and at best are just suggestions. Same goes with orders to comply if Annas Archive is hosted internationally. Probably russians, who in turn probably dont give a flying fuck about the opinion of some random american judge.

The thing is , offence is defence if your devs are competent. One thing I've always stressed is we should be attacking our own products all the time. Using security linters and static analysis, fuzzing and all the other techniques to kick holes in our own systems so we can identify and patch them. These AI tools are no different.

And I'd argue for an attacker the stakes are just as high. If you screw up, you might just expose who you are, and while your target risks losing his money, you risk losing your freedom..... or worse, if you pick a gnarly enough target.
