I do think we should keep in mind the age of the author, which still makes it a very impressive achievement! There being room for improvement is both acceptable and expected.

Nah, human writing will bleed through as imperfect (in a quaint way).

In the former case, you have government artificially suppressing supply and acting to dissuade pharmacies from keeping almost any extra stock, which is unfortunate.

So they gave away all their other extremely valuable methods in the leaks except for Mullvad?

Because if you lie you get infinitely more data than if you don't lie. And if you lie you can do it completely in secret whereas if you don't lie you get articles like the OP exposing the teeny amount of data you're trying to

Mullvad predates the Snowden leaks by several years and was not mentioned anywhere in them. Sure, there are other intelligence agencies, but that's the one I'd be the most worried about. Since either they run it, or they would kno

An intelligence agency already consists of more people than you need to run a VPN service.

I don't think most people actually believe he was one of the smartest people of all time or anything. He was obviously a seriously talented programmer, and impressively so: when you consider the number of humans that can program at all

Or you could also hijack it using $PATH search order with your wrapper to get existing terminal sessions too, there's a lot of ways to skin that cat.

But ultimately the charges were dropped so that makes the first half of your message effectively a non sequitur.

Okay, but maybe we can feed them actual food, let them shower daily, and give them bedding? Are you opposed to this?

I think there's an enormous difference between an "unpleasant experience" and "active torture."

It doesn't matter though. Nobody should be treated like this, especially not before their guilt has been proven.

Firecracker is extremely hardened, so I wouldn't worry about Lambda. As for ECS, getting root doesn't necessarily mean you have a container escape. I think you could escape containers with this exploit, but you would need a differ

Are they already vulnerable to RCE as an unprivileged user? Hopefully not. An LPE only allows an attacker who can already execute code on the system to become root. So, bad, yes, but it doesn't mean you are immediately pwned.

Well, that's why it was his last-ditch effort, because it was unlikely to work. But the reasoning is that many companies will go out of their way to help "VIPs" and may even have a separate team to handle them that has more d

I'm not sure that anyone wants the scarlet letter of an AI coauthor on their code just because they used something simple like next edit suggestions or AI autocomplete. It seems like the "all" setting basically only exists fo

But that's not what I was responding to. "Oh, all of the cases are probably just common colds, so it just guessed cold and was right by sheer luck" is not what happened in the article.

What percentage of patients have blood clots in their lungs and a history of lupus, like the article described? That's not on the same level as a common cold at all .

It's the same problem, just spread out to different layers...Windows had DLL hell too, and then eventually everyone just packaged all of their required versions of DLLs and redistributables into their MSI. What about Linux do you think
