what does "integrity" fail mean in the first table? that the case didn't recover from the 2G corruption?

that's the odd thing: we simply don't ask whether there's an alternative. for instance, how many companies (including universities) store their own cash on prem? what if we treated PII like cash? limit amount and time kept

This is wonderful, though a little low. Basing it on revenue is sensible, since the goal is to make it hurt. But that would argue for a higher fraction. But the main thing is to introduce an incentive to take security more seriously.

although the US Constitution does make reference to deities, the copyright section does not. its formalization is entirely pragmatic, utilitarian.

Has anyone found a meaningful discussion of how scraping is theft? Obviously, reproducing works in whole is infringement. That's not what AI is doing, so the question becomes: how is scraping different from ordinary reading? Is it ju

that seems strange to me: why shouldn't policy leverage name resolution? sort of like dkim, but taken further. for instance, for site.com, I'd much rather retrieve its public key from DNS (some DNS++ version, of course).

by markhahn 23d ago
I'm always mystified why we haven't leveraged DNS. I mean: why not have cookie policy set by a flag in DNS? Not unlike DKIM or even SSHFP. Of course, we wouldn't need the entire certificate industry if we simply looked up a

if the only evidence of a crime is on your phone, what kind of crime is it? we should always be asking: is this the only way you can prove the accusation? just because it would make LEO life easier - that's not justification for viola

devices already do wear management. at most, you should configure your system and OS to give them a chance. for instance, being 100% full all the time is just bad. use TRIM and log SMART metrics.

why do you think this is a function of betas? or even of OS or app versions? I guess you've been burned, or are worried about being burned, by some software that generated excessive writes? I think you need to describe that first, si

uh-huh. and what source code do you think coding models are trained on?

smells of AI-pilled management viewpoint. the kind who think that AI has already changed the whole software landscape.

I'm curious what you mean by "violence" here.

the Executive is required to obtain consent of Congress to appoint principal officers; why not just require consent to fire them?
18.
by markhahn 3mo ago
There are lots of executive actions which require consent of congress. I think that would work fine here. Obviously, the point is for congress to have a means of overriding a corrupt pardon (not that such a thing would ever happen!)

it would be interesting to know apple's true/inside attitude towards people putting linux on their hardware. they don't seem very interested in helping, but donno whether they actively sabotage either.

these days, even completely mainstream distros (Fedora here) include ollama, which leverages a wide range of hardware and range of models. (it's generally useful to install a more recent ollama, though.) there are free coding harness

by markhahn 3mo ago
I'm curious how you test; could you explain? Do you have a set of factoids that should be subject to copyright, but are somehow literally (whole work) generated by the model in question?

by markhahn 3mo ago
I guess you mean assuming your data is stored somewhere in the clear (and whole). I'm surprised there isn't a lot more attention to encrypted, distributed, erasure-encoded stores.

any US tech? not even for specific purposes? yeah, if there was some kind of forcefield around the US, most of the world would have tech troubles at one level or another. but so would the US. and really, the topic here is reducing a trans

what's the problem with everyone knowing how a rep votes? their voting should be a matter of record, not any form of leverage. the dumpsterfire of campaign finance is completely orthogonal (and also both important and simple to solve
