Correction: LinkedIn was originally just a job-and-resume posting site. And while the vast majority of its end users still treat it as such, the site's owners have been desperately trying to turn it into something else - more of a Facebook/Twitter hybrid - for almost a decade now.

I log into LinkedIn maybe once every couple of years. When I do, the first thing I always see is a huge number of pointless drivel posts that have no place on a "job-and-resume posting site", which in turn reminds me of why LinkedIn sucks so much.

Jellyfin FTW!

How the heck does plex have 120 employees?

As to why this was just posted now, it's because - of those 120 employees who went to the retreat, only one survived... and it took him almost 9 years to escape.

It's not difficult - Iran must be balkanized if Israel is going to conquer the Middle East and expand its proper borders to "those promised by God". They will demand a regional empire beyond their borders as a "buffer zone".

The Eschatological Christian Zionists want them tp destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque and build the Third Temple so Jesus can come back. Much of the Senior Brass at DoD (or Department of War Crimes) believes in this.

Is it all absurd and crazy? Doesn't matter, it's what motivates the people with nukes.

That and Trump being blackmailed with Epstein Tapes. The news says it's specifically an audio tape of a phone call between those two.

This is what the people who want peace in the world are up against. We can't counter what we deny.

Exactly. The English Majors went where other investigators have previously gone and ruled out.

The stack of blockchain, Merkle Trees, halvings, etc. show a level of insight a quantum above Hashcash.

There's noting wrong with being "quite good" but "engineering genius" is something different.

Besides, Satoshi would never have stood for not funding mining with txn fees. The BTC chain is in danger of being unmineable very soon.

I bought some paper books from Amazon in 1998 and they still work like the day I bough them.

Excellent support after 28 years.

Well, speaking for myself - I may "rent" them but I also immediately decrypt them and store a local copy elsewhere.

I don't buy media I can't decrypt, one way or another.

I likely would still be using my Kindle 3 Keyboard, except my dog got hold of it at one point.

I still think that was the best form factor they've ever offered.

Obligatory.

At Walmart, extremely low quality everything is available year-round.

When you have a product made from leftover rejected parts the supply is guaranteed to be limited.

So you hype it as "for a limited time" and people go hog wild with FOMO.

coming soon: "The Neo is Back."

Yeah, "LLM's are gods" and "statistical ML networks are good at finding defective code patterns" are extremely different claims.

The people who are True Believers on both extremes look pretty silly.

I appreciate really good closed captioning while having no use for chatbots. Both ends get to call me a heretic!

Just watch the patches and CVE's trickling out.

It's not like OpenBSD is going to sit on a vulnerability for 90 days or whatever.

Issuing a patch doesn't give away the details about how it was found.

Limited info here: https://red.anthropic.com/2026...

Sounds like more details in 90+45 days.

The most serious sounding sales pitch. Here is how you know... "Anthropic is committing up to $100M in usage credits for Mythos Preview across these efforts, as well as $4M in direct donations to open-source security organizations."

The sky is falling, we can help if you pay us.
