> Why disgruntled though

This person participated in the bug bounty program and Microsoft refused to pay the bounties on reported bugs. Many news stories covered the situation.

The reported bugs in Defender got CVE's and emergency updates.

Now she's on a mission.

A few tens of thousands of dollars was the cost of avoiding all this.

Correct, but Huang is a also a huge proponent of democratized open source access to AI systems which directly threaten the business potential of large proprietary models.

Expect regulators to try to shut down Huggingface on "national security" grounds soon.

Anthropic thinks their prompts are worth $2T and DoW thinks Claude is good at picking civilian targets for missile strikes.

The only "evidence" against Huang right now is four anonymous Intelligence sources to NYT et. al.. Being a dirty dog doesn't take down a megacorp CEO - unfortunately it's the norm.

Under Michael Yon's model the main geopolitical competition of current day is Han vs. Zion so all this makes sense through that lens.

I'm with the decentralization of power crowd, whichever ethnicity is promoting it this week. Centralization of power always leads to Death Cults.

Interesting.

I didn't consider an inside job before knowing fifty bills were on the table.

The Twin Towers guy only got fourteen bills IIRC.

yeah, I'm sure they were doing updates on the FAA core routers during the busiest part od the travel week, pushing to prod just before the weekend, and at Market close.

C'mon.

Yeah, yeah, they don't want to scare people or admit weakness.

It would be especially odd if this Administration told the truth today for the first time.

Thankfully this turned out to be one-and-done. I totally understand the motivations but I still have stuff to do before the big one.

Somebody online said Chicago start announcing prefixes on the L3Harris net that didn't belong to them.

True? dunno. "developing..."

You log into your Chromebook wirh your .edu account and it disables search for anyone in the org.

Somebody pointed out here last time that if you append &utm=15 or something to the URL it goes back to the old Search.

So it sounds like they're making a huge lie of omission.

What's sad is they could use an LLM to teach Socratically with any search terms but they want so badly to suppress critical thinking and shove "alignment" down kids' throats that they are being belligerent.

The dont-be-evil era company would be making the best teaching Search.

It's a huge market void for someone with more time than I have right now.

What's the best search for error logs these days?

DDG is almost useless.

Google parses and looks up hex codes for you with a cursory explanation.

Its conclusions are often wrong but good enough to point me at the right spec to figure out a bluetooth proxy problem recently.

I like to think the delay is justified by the fact that IF you think in terms of 1800s tech, America is huge and it can take a while for horses to pull a wagon from sea to shining sea.

It's November 1860 and you just won your election to be the new Senator from Oregon. You have two months to get to DC. Can you do it? (Yes, you can do it in a "mere" 3-4 weeks thanks to rail. But before rail? No way two months is enough.)

The first thing will probably be to do something think of the children bullshit to ban local AI instances.

Are you seeing a lot of support for the "people should be forced to use a data center to run AIs, instead of being allowed to do it at home using solar power" position?

What I saw last week, is that "think of the children" means that no one should ever fucking ever let a Republican anywhere within ten feet of a child, rather than it meaning we need to give data centers a monopoly on running AI.

The RAM crisis is it. This is the high-water mark on suppressing competition. It was a clever move, but the consumer market isn't going to tolerate electronic gizmos and video games being expensive forever. As soon as someone decides they want money and opens another RAM factory, the AI companies are in trouble. They have this brief pre-Personal-Computer-Revolution situation going on like 1960s IBM, and the 1970s are coming to fuck their shit up.

I bought a RingConn for an ailing person I know who wanted to track metrics and it's pretty good considering it's cheaper and has no subscription.

Fairly solid build.

Yo dawg, I heard you like DMCA, so I sent you a DMCA notice (Title 17 Section 512) about DMCA-prohibited circumvention (Title 17 Section 1201).

I think they're talking about rack-sized UPS and up, not desktop size.

The bjg ones I've used have an LCD panel on the front with status, including current time.

Anyway, I avoid ever setting my cron jobs to a 0 or 5 for this basic reason. */15 style is the unavoidable exception.

Perfectly described - much kudos.

We still don't even see leaks of the unredacted Epstein's Files and that's the most egregious material possible to be illegally concealing.

Not like in the 70's when a Mathematics professor orchestrated the raid on an FBI office.

> people are still using the 'we had no backups' as an excuse?

Why pay someone with considerable practical experience when a kid out of an Associate's Program "knows computers"?

Survival of the Fittest, perhaps.
