Vibe Coding Goes Wrong As AI Wipes Entire Database

The real value of hydrocarbons available off earth will be the manufacture of soft/flexible components. All flexible seals, hoses, fabric, etc. will eventually need to be manufactured in space, assuming civilization manages to survive long enough to extend off planet.

Nature *always* invents a better idiot.

Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe you can trust an AI.

Very few businesses that are involved in IT in any way have anything remotely close to decent security.

Basically, they need to reintroduce the US' Internet Czar, who should have meaningful authority and who should impose meaningful IT security standards. That small companies can't afford to hire security staff is irrelevant as they mostly either work in the cloud using SAAS, at which point their provider should be handling all the security. If you want to roll your own, then you should accept the burden of paying for adequate security. Minimum standards apply to just about everything else in life, and I'd rate getting IT security right just a little bit more important than getting cars to not roll over (you can usually survive a roll) or preventing toasters from spontaneously combusting (you can park electrical appliances away from flammable stuff).

You can avoid catastrophes with defective appliances but you can't avoid catastrophes with defective IT systems.

Our local theater chain (Icon Cinemas, mostly New Mexico) has their large 'Iconic' screen (only about 1/3 of an IMAX screen). But for $2 more, it's worth it for seeing films like Superman or Sinners. These are about the only kind of films we head into town for. The rest of the time, yeah, nice 75" Sony, bought during 2020 superbowl sales (lucked out there) covers the rest of our movie times.

No IMAX options in the state; 6 hour drives to either Denver or Phoenix.

Wasn't aware the nationwide chains in the article also had larger screen options. Consistent branding would be helpful, at least in New Mexico.

C'mon tech writers, look up 'beleaguered' in your Funk and Wagnalls and it'll have "See Apple".

The problem here is that people cannot seem to understand that "private" and "privacy" are related but not the same thing. Private is what happens in my house that nobody outside should be privy to. Privacy is the illusion that everything we do is private. I liken this to being photographed and filmed in public and the Karen's crying "don't video me". No Karen, I can and WILL video you in public and there is nothing you can do to stop me.

One has no expectation of privacy in public. None. Social Media IS public. Everything on the internet is public. Some things offer more privacy than others, but if its on the internet, it can and likely WILL BE exposed.

Act accordingly.

Bonnie Blue it is!!!!!

Privacy is an illusion at best. Your data is already public. Already exposed.

That nobody cares about you enough to DOX you ... yet isn't "privacy" it is obscurity.

Good point. An army that sees all others as subhuman and sees only the next death is one that has to keep fighting. It has no choice. It's the only thing it knows. It can keep conquering more territory outwards, or it can slaughter its own government inwards. History shows those are your two options.

Whether or not Russia conquers Ukraine, it will attack other countries - vast numbers of bored, underpaid soldiers would seek entertainment elsewhere if they didn't.

This is what I'm going by:

The report said that in December 2018, the US Federal Aviation Administration issued a special airworthiness information bulletin based on reports from operators of model 737 planes that the fuel control switches were installed with the locking feature disengaged.

The airworthiness concern was not considered an unsafe condition that would warrant an airworthiness directive – a legally enforceable regulation to correct unsafe conditions.

The same switch design is used in Boeing 787-8 aircraft, including Air India’s VT-ANB, which crashed. The report added: “As per the information from Air India, the suggested inspections were not carried out as the SAIB was advisory and not mandatory.”
