> Why disgruntled though
This person participated in the bug bounty program and Microsoft refused to pay the bounties on reported bugs. Many news stories covered the situation.
The reported bugs in Defender got CVE's and emergency updates.
Now she's on a mission.
A few tens of thousands of dollars was the cost of avoiding all this.
Correct, but Huang is a also a huge proponent of democratized open source access to AI systems which directly threaten the business potential of large proprietary models.
Expect regulators to try to shut down Huggingface on "national security" grounds soon.
Anthropic thinks their prompts are worth $2T and DoW thinks Claude is good at picking civilian targets for missile strikes.
The only "evidence" against Huang right now is four anonymous Intelligence sources to NYT et. al.. Being a dirty dog doesn't take down a megacorp CEO - unfortunately it's the norm.
Under Michael Yon's model the main geopolitical competition of current day is Han vs. Zion so all this makes sense through that lens.
I'm with the decentralization of power crowd, whichever ethnicity is promoting it this week. Centralization of power always leads to Death Cults.
If it's a toss-up between a de-facto Chinese takeover or a de-facto Israeli takeover, then the question is not what the resignation is trying to distract from, the question is why a vital strategic manufacturer is being taken over by a foreign power at all.
(Obviously, there's good reasons for a foreign power to want to have absolute leverage over how US businesses work. Whether those foreign powers are "hostile" or "benign" is irrelevant there and so of absolutely no consequence to the discussion. What matters is that the US should not place critical industries, on which essentially all other parts of their economy have become utterly dependent, in the hands of anyone not subject to US scrutiny or US law. As it stands, I dislike how corporations work, boards have accountability to nobody outside themselves and majority shareholders - which are also usually themselves. That's not an effective system.)
I'd certainly investigate the entire corporation. If the guy is abusing his position of authority (which means that any "consent" given is a fiction) and the employees actively support this, then there's a good chance that the behaviour is rampant in the company.
There is, however, a flip-side. He's undoubtedly led the company to produce some superb products and has pushed them in a well-identified direction. Far more so than virtually any other US corporation. There's very obviously something about his personality and mindset that is actually wanted to have a successful business, and this something is lacking within much of the western business community.
Basically, much of the western world is stuck in Harvard MBA Land, and companies operating under such principles invariably collapse from complete incompetence. They're popular because those with MBAs are usually brash, arrogant, controlling, dominant, and abusive - typical sociopathic traits - and sociopaths in the boardroom tend to be very good at producing stable management structures and very high stock returns. Just not successful busineses. But who cares, if you get rich?
This does not mean we need more sex offenders or Chinese spies running US megacorps. It means we need to find out exactly what in his attitude allowed him to identify successful patterns, we have no reason to want or desire any other aspects of the guy.
Interesting.
I didn't consider an inside job before knowing fifty bills were on the table.
The Twin Towers guy only got fourteen bills IIRC.
yeah, I'm sure they were doing updates on the FAA core routers during the busiest part od the travel week, pushing to prod just before the weekend, and at Market close.
C'mon.
Yeah, yeah, they don't want to scare people or admit weakness.
It would be especially odd if this Administration told the truth today for the first time.
Thankfully this turned out to be one-and-done. I totally understand the motivations but I still have stuff to do before the big one.
Somebody online said Chicago start announcing prefixes on the L3Harris net that didn't belong to them.
True? dunno. "developing..."
You log into your Chromebook wirh your
Somebody pointed out here last time that if you append &utm=15 or something to the URL it goes back to the old Search.
So it sounds like they're making a huge lie of omission.
What's sad is they could use an LLM to teach Socratically with any search terms but they want so badly to suppress critical thinking and shove "alignment" down kids' throats that they are being belligerent.
The dont-be-evil era company would be making the best teaching Search.
It's a huge market void for someone with more time than I have right now.
What's the best search for error logs these days?
DDG is almost useless.
Google parses and looks up hex codes for you with a cursory explanation.
Its conclusions are often wrong but good enough to point me at the right spec to figure out a bluetooth proxy problem recently.
Should we email Microsoft and advise them on how to install Linux and FreeBSD on their servers?
I bought a RingConn for an ailing person I know who wanted to track metrics and it's pretty good considering it's cheaper and has no subscription.
Fairly solid build.
I think they're talking about rack-sized UPS and up, not desktop size.
The bjg ones I've used have an LCD panel on the front with status, including current time.
Anyway, I avoid ever setting my cron jobs to a 0 or 5 for this basic reason. */15 style is the unavoidable exception.
Perfectly described - much kudos.
We still don't even see leaks of the unredacted Epstein's Files and that's the most egregious material possible to be illegally concealing.
Not like in the 70's when a Mathematics professor orchestrated the raid on an FBI office.
> people are still using the 'we had no backups' as an excuse?
Why pay someone with considerable practical experience when a kid out of an Associate's Program "knows computers"?
Survival of the Fittest, perhaps.
