Is there a specific policy angle here that has you concerned?

Perhaps the use case is to toss it into a potentially dangerous position, let it settle, and then take the shot? I don't see any claims that this is intended to operate while in motion.

Anyone got a link to the repo? Another twitter thread where most of the detail is locked behind a login. Why anyone uses this platform for publishing today is beyond me.

Thinking through some potentially interesting sources for videos where two people are talking but we don't know what was said and well, I think this is a decent starting point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLcfpU2cub

In that case, it mostly just created local monopolies. You still didn’t have a choice for local service unless you moved several hundred miles away. From the consumer’s perspective, we just replaced one monopoly with another.

Like-for-like, those costs go down over time and have since we started building datacenters. Electric costs roughly track inflation, but the price of a TB of storage or 10GB switch port or a 24 core CPU goes down over time. That's wh

Trust is established through interaction with the ransoming party. The interaction will be some version of a trial solution that will decrypt some subset of the locked systems to prove that they can in fact recover your systems. I've

My guess is that adherence to the ever-shifting sand dunes of local privacy regulations across the entire planet was such a burden that Meta has been forced to come up with a global, flexible, and broadly compliant solution.

Because most households in the US might have maybe 3 breakers setup this way, all of which are likely running critical infrastructure already. Most folks aren’t going to unplug their water heater to turn on their AI.

We've been at war with Russia for a few decades at this point but only Russia has noticed.

It's not DNS that's leaking those names, it's certificate transparency. If you are using certs on foo.example.com, that's publicly discoverable due to CTLs. As others have mentioned here it leaves you with a dilemma, e

Define "physically weak". Chimpanzees are certainly better climbers, but we can run for hours on end, far longer and further than any other land animal. Not all physical strength is just lifting heavy things.

> if Russia just put one on a satellite and didn't tell anyone, does anyone have any way to notice? Yes. Satellites are not transparent so they occlude the sky behind them for anyone who is watching, which allows discovery of new s

I'm not sure what to make of this but I'm noting something odd this morning: coverage of this event out of the UK near-unanimously is laying this outage on Microsoft. BBC ran a story this morning that didn't mention Crowdstr

This isn't a Windows update (which absolutely does let you do blue/green deployments vis SUS), but rather a Crowdstrike update which also lets you stage rollouts and I expect several administrators are finding out why that is impo

I think you underestimate how much of a speedup we're talking about: it can pull in the entire filesystem in a couple seconds on a multi TB volume with Bs of files. I have yet to see anything in the linux world (including the OP) that

The problem with adding capacity is that the licensing and construction of baseload GW-scale generation takes around a decade in most of the US. Several hyperscalers have talked directly about this problem, you can throw an extra $B at NVI

UA is showing the world what can be done with <$1k drones. China has that market locked down right now, presumably this legislation is aiming at that market. This isn't about Reaper-scale drones.

It is bad policy long term, and this policy has been around for a long time. At some point we need to address bad policy.

Or they host a business site that doesn't do business in those countries and so nothing of value is lost to them. For example, it's literally illegal for me to accept payments from .ru, so why bother wasting their time and my ban

Sure it could maybe be kinda right, but what is the cost of a false positive? If you have, say, a 10% false positive rate, and there are theoretical reasons to think you’ll never get that anywhere close to zero, then what use case does thi
