Lot of people run tools like claude code in "auto" mode, where it has un-gated access to bash. This gives it access to your environment and file system, where you might have API keys or AWS tokens. Or it might be reading files like ~/.m2/settings.xml, ~/.npmrc, ~/.aws/config etc.

When you write a prompt like "Read the recent cloudwatch logs for serviceX and tell me why the 5xx error rate just spiked." There's every chance the model decided it needed to figure out how to access your AWS account, sent a series of Bash commands to the local agent to dump your env and aws config, ran a decision tree over that, and formulated a bunch of aws cli Bash invocations to gather the CW data. Those get sent back to the agent, which executes them and sends the output back to the model so it can answer your prompt.

ICBMs are not on the internet, and I don't think anyone is dumb enough [yet] to put these on a silo or nuclear sub C&C network with access to launch codes. I could picture it being hooked up to telemetry and advising a go/no-go though, which is bad enough.

You can't remove the the "risky stuff" because it's baked into the model weights, which are opaque and empirically derived from the training. They tried to make it better at programming and succeed, but that also makes it a better at analyzing code and finding faults. You can't pluck that capability out of the model any more than you could pluck out how to code in C from a programmer's brain. Not without lobotomizing them, anyway.

He not even a socialist. He's a social democrat. That just means he wants more social services like public transit, single-payer health care, and public pre-school, not to seize control of capital.

I can't imagine the thought process of someone who would go through all the trouble, risk, and expense to do this. If you want videos of naked ladies, there is just about an unlimited supply of consenting adults who provide it free on the internet. The reason people go to a strip club is the in-person experience.

Just about everyone in a modern society is walking around with a covert listening device in their pocket: their phone. Just start the voice memo app running and stick it back in your pocket. Or just hold it in your hand. Nobody questions someone having their phone out.

Chargepoint usually takes NFC credit cards as well.

Some torx screws and a rubber gasket can easily give you waterproof down to a few meters. Heck, even if it was a crush gasket that had to be replaced for a couple of bucks when removing the cover I'd take it.

But could DNA or a similar mechanism have evolved in the first place in a high ionizing radiation environment? Simple RNA floating around in an amino acid soup doesn't have any error checking and correction and life had to start somewhere with simpler tools. Also keep in mind we'd have a much less abundant atmosphere, if any without the magnetic field.

Because the kid crossing the street in front of the bus can't see the driver who has decided to zip past it from behind, and the driver can't see the kid until it is too late. It's extraordinarily dangerous to run the lights on a bus, and the kid who will be hit doesn't have the benefit of 10 tons of steel protecting them.

Accidents involving school busses have a pretty low fatality rate because the vehicle is so heavy and has so much inertia. It's far more likely the driver of the colliding vehicle will be injured. The kids are far more vulnerable getting on and off than once they are on board.

Um, yeah. I started building my own PCs from parts when I was 13-14.

Good. Cab driver used to a job you could make a living at. Then ride share companies came along and "disrupted" it into a gig job. Of course once cabs were marginalized or driven out of business they started jacking their prices back up, so now everything is worse except for the Uber and Lyft shareholders.

Prices need to come up to something the workers can make a living at. If that makes things too expensive because an extractive mega corp needs to make a profit, then maybe municipalities will do something to limit them and bring in more competition.

Great, so Vizio is violating the license and has no right to reproduce the software. I believe the statutory damage limit for each infraction is $150k? That's gotta be a few billion to split amongst the various projects that are having their copyright violated by Vizio.

There's dead and then there's wish you were dead. Also, the additives in the animal stuff vs what you would get from a Dr.'s Rx could be vastly different and not necessarily well tolerated by humans. Delivery mechanism, drug release timings, active ingredient concentrations, isomers: none of it titrated for human consumption if you get your drugs through a veterinary supply warehouse.

IIS has good integration with active directory, and a lot of government networks run on AD. When I did government work our Java/Tomcat app had to deploy behind IIS so that IIS could do all the CAC/PIV crypto/AD windows stuff and hand us a user identity. Then I had the pleasure of doing NTLM/kerberos binding against an AD forest from java for authz - good times.
