Next you're going to tell me the sun doesn't shine at night.

Grogu is already 50 years old so that might explain his powers.

For most PC-based operating systems, you can find the files on the internet archive. It may take you as long to search for them as to download them, because the files were so small in many cases. I've run NeXTSTEP in some emulator, can't remember which, it wasn't difficult and it worked reliably. I don't see the appeal of doing more than poking at it briefly if you're not running it on real hardware, but there it is. I think I ran it in QEMU/KVM with one of the older hardware models.

DNS-AID SRV-Records? I came here to write a joke about AI giving my PC DNS-AIDS, and the fuckers wrote it for me.

They lost me at the lava battle.

I do hear I'm missing out on Andor.

They don’t pay taxes is the problem and other than trade workers during the construction process you’ll be lucky if the payroll breaks a dozen. All people do there is swap hardware when it fails.

This video always makes me giggle https://youtu.be/oZzgAjjuqZM?s...

Look for yourself, but I'm seeing over 30,000 players.

It's a setback for Artemis though. It will probably take a year to rebuild that launch facility, maybe more.

Naval reactors will never be viable for civilian use. Too expensive, proliferation of the highly enriched fuel is an issue, and unless you build them offshore they won't have the same cooling options. And we don't actually know how good the Navy's safety record is really.

It's a lot like smoking. Once your brain gets addicted, it's very hard to quit. Then nicotine patches were invented, and vaping, and it got easier.

It's kind of insane that none of this stuff has been banned. But that's how we do things - cannabis is illegal in many places, but addictive tobacco products and foods engineered to destroy your health are fine.

There are obvious differences.

1. People's memories are not perfect, they forget things. Computers don't forget.

2. If things got really bad, you could move to another town and start over. Not so when all the towns are connected to the same database.

3. Facial recognition is not very reliable, and the reliability gets worse as skin tones darken.

BOTH of them? :-)

Everyone knows that 10x engineers validate inputs and carefully manage dependencies; so clearly there's no risk of unexpected behavior.

It seems worth noting that one of the items in Wyden's rather pointed inquiry is the fact that the feasibility of doing this is known to have been demonstrated for the DoD by outside people familiar with it at least as early as 2016; so while this is the first confirmed case of adversarial use it's the outcome of at least a decade of just ignoring the problem; and a significantly longer period of failing to reasonably anticipate the problem. It's not like there's No Such Agency you could ask about "how could you spy on someone with the internet even?" if you wanted to know how well or poorly readily available information matched a nation state signals intelligence apparatus.

Purely as a matter of cellphones being expensive and somewhat tepidly capable in the before times I assume that there was a period within living memory when merely telling people not to Gordon Gekko on their DynaTAC where the russians can hear you was good enough; but that would have clearly and rapidly been getting less true for at least a quarter century.
