"I don't really understand why this is a Slashdot story"

A DIGITAL BANK (aka TECHNOLOGY) isn't a Slashdot story?

Son where the fuck have you been?

" Investigations are under way into how the attack was carried out, "

Remotely, obviously. Get your fucking systems off the internet and quit being lazy cheap-ass humans.

I think it's time Google faced court for the same bullshit.

You went to a distribution that won't patch the latest security problem while everyone else already has? LOLOLOLOL

"Coming out in trial proceedings and discovery" pretty much gives you the source - read the court documentation. That entity was Melissa Nathan with TAG PR.

"Generally this isn't true, instead it is stored in large quantities of stock or other assets"

It is still used as a leveraged mechanism with which to purchase things. How the hell do you think they live in big fucking houses and have chauffeurs? Thus it is effectively cash.

And with that cash they buy power, hoard resources, and generally fuck over the human population.

You're absolutely blind to how stock gets used. You're the one trolling, here.

That should tell you right now that if you're involved in this crypto scam crap that you shouldn't be trusting stablecoins as they are by design made to fuck you over at the whim of a centralized authority.

Maybe just RTFA would answer your question:

"It was Bielfeldt’s curiosity about the inner workings of inkjet printers that inspired his winning entry, but capturing the action of ink drops being deposited on paper was a challenge, given that the process happens so quickly. The droplets, for instance, moved faster than the camera’s shutter speed. Bielfeldt’s solution was to deconstruct the printer so that the paper moved under a stationary (rather than moving) printhead, and then take the image in a dark room, using a flash to serve as the shutter, thereby freezing the ink drops mid-air."

It isn't that hard to separate. That's why we developed the cryogenic method in the first place. Hydrogen and fluorine are much harder to keep stored and process.

More people do office work than ever before.

This story is so old it was the reason for Unix. Once the platform controls the essential business process, it owns the business. You work for them now, and all your aspirations are moot.

It's not like you can't use another model to validate the results you got with one model. That's a step you should be taking anyway. It's actually built into the system for test/dev of the agent and inference model itself. Active supervision, sandboxing and all that.

It seems so. Although Netcraft confirms it is (ahem) a rounding error.

This post may contain historical references to Microsoft press releases you are not aware of.

The carbon fiber is a protective overwrap, much like anti-spalling wrap on ballistic armor.

I remember when they introduced that. That was hilarious.
