Just wait until you try to download the bootleg video and end up with a copy of Musk's AI-generated "historically accurate" version instead. D'oh! :)

One wonders why an Asian pedophile would have such persistently anti american posts.
Maybe this is a different rsilvergun?

I know it's important to panic, but let's #followthescience, surely?

Halfway through 2026, every continent burn levels are below average. Africa, the Americas and Europe are at record lows.

Keep this in mind as the press (and slashdot) keep insisting how terrible everything is.

Record.
Lows.

Or noticed the trap text when they pasted the question.

I would think all the AI would follow the directive to add the nonsense. I wouldn't want to use the one that didn't.

Also likely: 10% of the class actually did the work.

The key point here is that data's security isn't enforced by the OS, but rather by the encryption algorithm itself. A non-OS forensics terminal would see the raw contents of the hard drive, which is to say, blocks of random-looking bytes that might be encrypted data or might just be truly random; without the corresponding password, there is no way to to tell.

Without any password (and assuming a robust encryption implementation), that's as far as they'd get. With a password, they'd be able to decrypt the blocks associated with that password and view the files for that account, but not any of the other blocks/accounts.

At that point, the FBI's nerds might well suspect that there are other accounts on the phone that they don't know about, but short of coercing the phone's owner into providing additional passwords, that's as far as they could get.

I love and respect NASA; their missions are astonishing examples of what people can accomplish, and I don't think most appreciate the unbelievable finesse it takes to execute space missions. NASA has successfully made it look routine. They truly are "rocket scientists".

But the fact is that government contracts are vastly inefficient; they are victims of the vicissitudes of political winds that potentially change every 2 years, despite almost never being "the issue of discussion" and widely being respected by both sides of the political aisle. It is worth noting too that NASA has become nearly paralyzed by risk avoidance. That's easy to SAY, but I'm curious how the public is going to react when inevitably, eventually, a SpaceX or Blue Origin astronaut dies; I rather suspect the public is going to continue to demand risk-avoidance as primary where humans in space are concerned, at least until it's as common as air travel.

Further, we have clearly reached the point where we DON'T need government to execute basic space lift systems. The 1980s space shuttle was around $50k/kg to orbit (and this was intended to be the 'cheap' system after the one-off previous lunch programs); SLS by NASA right now is in the $20-$40k range.

Compare that to Falcon 9 $3k/kg, Falcon Heavy $1500/kg, or the estimate for Starship will be $100-$300/kg.

No, with limited budgets, I'd far rather NASA use its precious political gleanings for the science packages and programs, and let the commercial contractors do the simple/cheap stuff.

I'm nearly done with you.
Right now I'm at the end - you have constantly shoveled shit into a browser that was famous for being lean.

Now I think I'm going to move to Brave if this doesn't get reversed shortly.

IBM's instructions? Of course they said the licensed compiler is required :-)

Those are all part of gcc.

My guess is he read the first half of the first sentence of my response and concluded that I was just repeating what Google says about the issue, that I mindlessly believed the company line.

Never mind that I personally designed and implemented the feature, so if there's any official Google PR on the issue, it's based on what I told "them", not what "they" told me.

Thanks. There were good reasons to move on from Android, but it was pretty cool being able to work to improve the world's most-used operating system. Relatively small impacts get multiplied by a big number.

Also 100 miles from any international airport. This covers huge swathes of the country.

Atlanta, GA isn't US soil?

But even if this were one of the overseas CBP checkpoints (the ones that do pre-clearance, so you don't have to go through CBP after landing), I think those are considered US soil as well, under an agreement with the host nation.

Look I understand that slashdot is the "hate musk" channel, but "failing to scale up" is a funny summary for a company that
- has lowered launch costs by multiples and remains lower than all competitors
- alone launched more than half the entire world's space payloads, and north of 75% of the mass, something like 30x its nearest competitor
- no other competition is really aiming at a vehicle the size, scope, and ambitiousness of starship. Long 9 is close but years and years behind.
- yes, there have been a lot of test flights but if the alternative is something like sls (5 years late and what, $25b high), I find it hard to criticize starships approach.

The goal would be to have a device OS with no concept of "correct blocks", i.e. there are only a bunch of blocks, all equally correct, and the OS uses some subset of them based on the password that was entered. Ideally the OS wouldn't even have the ability to tell anyone how many viable subsets there are.

Of course, "more cost-effective than SLS" is a pretty low bar. The actual goal would be "more cost effective than Falcon 9".
