Every place has long term hazard and short term utility. Foolishness can just as easily be defined as leaving that utility on the table.

My 6 year old informed me today that the Sun will explode in 4 billion years. Shall we set out into the void today as in hop on the next rocket out then?

Macroeconomic theory was surprisingly deficient in the mid-century Soviet Union, or rather someone there took Marx's surplus value theory to the logical extreme, while ignoring all other research on the subject. But hey, not the first time people slavishly follow a single source material to their detriment. (most religions are the same way)

I'm sure the Billionaire class will tell us normal people what to do. We put them on a pedestal, put them in office, or let them buy our votes in elections.
And you're a Marxist if you aren't on board with allowing our innovative captains of industry to steer this country, no this entire world, to greater heights.

Note: Crucial P310 2TB SSD is under $250.

Ageism is illegal. But that isn't stopping Fidelity from ditching the senior level staff to replace them with a bunch of greenies.

I looked at a waterfall project where the mayor ended up spending $3M to have an audit done on the current state of a project that was way behind on time and way over budget, only for them to come back and say that it'd be cheaper to burn all the effort to date and start fresh.

the drives you and i buy are consumer grade bs that is still produced at same rates as in previous years... there is no real "shortage" or supply crunch of consumer grade drives... not as if they re-fabbed their production lines to build enterprise drives... as for memory costs going up, yeah... it's a small portion of the actual cost of the drives... so even if that doubles... the impact on the cost of the drive is a rounding error.

This is another bullshit price gouge of consumers...

>"seriously? of course firefox users fucking complained. That's why the mozilla had to add their AI kill-switch after they got caught auto-adding AI."

No. Mozilla never "added AI". They added the ability to optionally hook Firefox into third-party AI systems (with the default on). And there was ALWAYS AN OFF SWITCH. It just wasn't in the main settings, it was under about:config. Then they later added in the main settings as well.

It never downloaded or installed any AI system. Very different.

>"I've gone and deleted chrome. I'm using Brave, but its crypto-bros in charge of that so I dont exactly trust them either. They just have a really effective adblocker that doesnt seem to trigger youtube into issueing shrill threats about breaking TOSs with adblockers"

I would suggest Firefox + UBO. I have no problems on YouTube or other sites with them (at least that is my experience on my machines which all run Linux). And as a huge bonus, you get to NOT support Google's efforts to control the web (Brave is still based on Google Chromium). Plus you also signal to sites that you want to support actual browser diversity, not mostly just a different UI on yet another Google-controlled engine.

>"Quick - copy and paste all your comments from the "Copy Fail" discussion over here!"

Pretty much :) It is essentially the same issue, found in three other kernel modules. Alma Linux and others already have pages up about it. These are serious issues for multiuser/multitenant servers needing to mitigate immediately. Not so much for single-user or home systems.

Copy Fail used the algif_aead module and for enterprise Linuxes, that is built-into the kernel. So either update the kernel, or mitigate with:

# grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init"

and reboot. Dirty Frag uses three additional modules: esp4, esp6, and rxrpc. Enterprise Linuxes don't build those in, so all distros should be able to use something like:

# rmmod esp4 esp6 rxrpc
# sh -c "printf 'install esp4 /bin/false\ninstall esp6 /bin/false\ninstall rxrpc /bin/false\n' > /etc/modprobe.d/dirtyfrag.conf"

for immediate mitigation, without rebooting. Of course, disabling those modules has a price, it will disable IPsec ESP, IPsec VPNs (like Swan), and AFS clients. So if you use/need those, you can't mitigate without losing that functionality.

2025 is the year that personal computing is no longer personal.

You are not going to be permitted to handle your own affairs offline. Everything as a service because AI will be in everything and the equipment must be in the cloud. Average consumers and gamers cannot compete with trillions in hype investment. All you can do is wait for the bubble to pop, and hope your retirement or national economy is not popped with it.

XX = ALWAYS female. No alternative. If you are healthy you have a womb and can bear babies. They are intrinsically connected. You have large gametes.
XY = ALWAYS male. No alternative. You cannot ever bear babies, no matter how healthy you are. You have small gametes.

If they ever dig up your body, this is how you will be identified. Your feelings have *nothing* to do with the matter. Nor does your sanity. They will 100% identify you according to the actual, empirical physical characteristics that make you male or female (or a genetic sport of some sort).

That you keep repeating the delusion just makes you delusionAL.
No matter how many times you repeat 1+1=3, it's still not true and never will be.

No, I did not. You have no idea what I read.

and it seems this is happening when Claude Desktop is installed.

Or, to put it another way, Anthropic build Claude Desktop to do this.

My Chrome does not seem to have done this on a Windows machine. No sign of the weights.bin file, and I do not have Claude-anything installed.

I'm thinking this is not a Chrome problem, it's an Anthropic problem.

Prove me wrong. Validate my sig.

I might have cared about unwanted potentially autonomous ai agents being pushed on user machines.

But given that you're bitching about it from a global warming angle...that just tells me you're pissed they beat you to the party to pick my pocket with the killer robots when you were all set to pick my pocket from the treehugger angle.

And should be treated as such.
