Clearly ChatGPT needs to do better... for example to back-fill hallucinated citations with fake cases :-)

Echelon kills hope of future sales. Interesting approach.

Does "The bias is in favor of clean athletes: that you can be clean and win' actually follow in any way from the discussion of various bike, itinerary, and diet optimizations that would presumably also be helpful to people shot full of veterinary hormones or whatever; or is this just Tygart saying what his job requires?

I'm definitely not a cycling strategist; but the various optimizations described sound like they are either neutral(like lower drag frames), or potentially even more helpful if you can find a way to sneak a few drugs in(like tighter diet control and better route planning that would potentially reward the ability to make quick metabolic adjustments under specific circumstances); none of those changes sound like they are skewed in favor of baseline users specifically.

This is a bad, bad idea; perhaps with the sole exception of knowing which lines of code need to be scrutinized by a competent developer, and to know which developers need to be banned from making kernel submissions.

You are apparently unfamiliar with 4chan.

DNS cache poisoning was around long before 2008. The non random source port reported in 2008 has exploit code available many years earlier, for instance this web archive shows it was available as early as 2001:
https://web.archive.org/web/20...

This version takes advantage of the non random source port, and brute forces the query id.

There were also other bugs in earlier versions of bind - such as non random query ids, and caching of additional records outside of the current domain etc.

After the publicity in 2008 the "patch" was to use random source ports to increase the entropy, but DNSSec was always the proper long term fix.
Bot now with the prevalence of NAT the random source ports are often broken, as many NAT gateways will rewrite the source port from the client to a predictable value.

IPv6 provides two benefits here - first the lack of NAT, and second the large address space means you can bind many addresses to source DNS queries further increasing the entropy (you can even dedicate a whole /64 to random source addresses of dns queries) - but this only works for domains with IPv6 nameservers.

Now if only they could name them appropriately for outside markets. Nobody wants to drive a Zeekr. Maybe Ford can badge-engineer them with something like the Ford Expedition Mach-E or something cool like that. And have XL, XLT, Lariat, Platinum trims.

Anyone who buys a Mercedes is not concerned too much about the cost. They're paying extra for the misplaced prestige. They're paying a lot more in down the road maintenance costs too.
Also the floaty airbag suspensions that have zero body roll, which can be cool if you like that kind of thing.

You're supposed to believe that. Whether or not they have corrected for it is not necessarily related to whether or not they want to be believe they have.

they've got better doping techniques that the tests don't detect yet?

What's Ford building then? Ford is licensing some battery tech from BYD or some other Chinese entity to build a new battery plant in the US.
Which you know, good for Ford.

The US could potentially use its crude oil exclusively in theory, but it doesn't have the means to do so. If the sulphur content of crude is above 0.5%, it's called sour crude. It's got more hydrogen sulfide that needs to be removed before it can be safely shipped and processed into lighter distillates. Removing hydrogen sulfide adds to processing costs, so for economic reasons it makes more sense to blend light sweet crude with some processed sour crude to get an acceptable crude oil grade for the refineries in the US to make acceptable quality fuels and other distillates. If you're in NW Indiana near Lake Michigan, you can smell the rotten egg smell of hydrogen sulfide being flared off. This is probably due to the oil coming down from Canada and other sources being very very dirty. BP Whiting facility in Indiana was built to process really dirty/sandy/watery/egg smelling oil from hydro-cracking shale fields or tar sands or whatever nasty hydrocarbon sources they're shipping in there. Most of the light sweet crude comes from further afield.
The US Navy keeps global trade flowing, just as the British Navy did when it was a colonial power. Yes, corporations benefit from the public money shoveled into the military budget, and don't pay their fair share of taxes. This is an imbalance in the way things work, as is the income divide between the capital class and the workers. But capitalism will grease the wheels in favor of the capitalists, as long as they're not held to account by law. The capital class has not paid its fair share of taxes since the 1930's if ever.

Microsoft employed foreign engineers and then employed "digital escorts" to keep an eye on them?
I want to see the job posting for that one:
  "Wanted: Cloud Digital Escort. As a Cloud Digital Escort, you will watch over IT workers located in China to prevent them from doing nasty things like send sensitive data to China. Great hours for night owls! Pay: Hourly/min wage/less"

Every time I have to use Excel I remember how bad MS is at building software, but how good they are at roping everyone into using it.

If your uid was 5 digits or less I'd probably mod you insightful. But since it's not, I'm pretty sure you weren't around here back in the late 90s.

That really doesn't sound like an IT job to me. More neuroscience, really.
