Nothing has changed. We grew up saying "as if,” "eat my shorts," "whuzzzzuuupppp," and more. Not because they meant anything profound but because kids like to repeat things. Our source material was TV commercials, movies, and cartoons because that's what we had. But I've no doubt if we had "doot doot" on the early internet we'd all still be going "67" in the same way some of us still go "all your base are belong to us" or "yattaaaaa"

From the article:

"It’s worth noting that most working professionals do a lot more than submit research reports to their boss, which is all that GDPval-v0 tests for."

"OpenAI says that it believes Claude scored so high because of its tendency to make pleasing graphics, rather than sheer performance."

So by wide range of jobs, they mean jobs consisting of only submitting research reports with pleasing graphics. And based on recent measurements, about 1/4 incorrect or entirely hallucinated.

So many years ago I don't think the term "cloud" existed yet, I had a website I wanted to host but I didn't really give a crap about it. I just wanted the cheapest place to drop some flat HTML files I could find and I found No Support Linux Hosting. Their model of "if you have to contact us for something, we probably don't want you" resonated with me as a nerd and the price was perfect (I think $1 if I'm remembering correctly?). It felt like it was a pet project of some admin who also wanted a place to host some sites they didn't care about and figured they'd split the cost as long as it didn't cost them a minute of their time. I'm not at all surprised that they're shutting down - cleaning up from a hack is work and the entire business model is that they don't want to do any work. Well done, mates. You did exactly what you said you'd do from start to finish. That's a level of integrity and laziness I can respect.

Screw ads. I'd enforce PCI compliance on them.

Oooooh snap!

By Slashdot, OP meant Reddit.

They may be worst in class but at least their name is long and confusing!

Given that the form on which the code is written is in English, I'd hope we can rule out the case of an incoming message from Germany.

Great, another Ziff Davis article.

What's this aboot? The syrup!? I bet the giant did it, eh buddy! He's a dick

Seconded. Plus this way you can save the original compromised HD for a while in case if it becomes evidence against the identity thieves

This whole post smells of controversy where there isn't one. AT&T was worried their network couldn't handle the load if the future suddenly arrived and everyone was video calling each other. So years ago they blocked 2-way video apps over their network (but not over wifi cause who cares). They've since realized this isn't the Jetsons so they're going to slowly allow that traffic through to see if it bites them in the ass. Assuming the novelty wears off pretty quickly for most users and their network doesn't take a dump in the mean time, they'll likely open it up entirely. It's not menacing and he isn't "sneering" - it's an issue of conservation. They have a limited number of resources that they've planned for and sudden disruptions to that plan can ruin their business. He's just a businessman - apply Hanlon's razor if you must but don't put your negative shit on him. AT&T isn't violating your rights, they don't care what software you use, and we aren't heading down any "bad road." Well, at least not from this. Go fear-monger elsewhere.
