So in other words, they're not withdrawing the toothbrush from sale.

I can find no other news sites corroborating this article. However I can find plenty of places still selling the toothbrush. It seems like nonsense.

We're running a migration from VMware to Red Hat Openshift Virt for one customer right now which is over 150,000 VMs. That's a big one, but five figure number of VMs is very typical. I gave a 5 min lightning talk about this a cou

VMware are shipping VDDK to backup vendors directly (and only to backup vendors).

The problem is how you access the disks that are sitting on a VMware server. VDDK allows you to connect and read them (in raw format, in fact) at a reasonable speed, and also understands sparseness and change block tracking.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_chart is even better if you want to just know about the subject. The Viking Mars Lander had an early colour chart (three times over, for some reason) as shown in this NASA photo: ht

I think this says more about how the cookies security model is stupid. They should always have been scoped to the single, exact name they were set from and nothing else. Websites would have had to be designed a bit more thoughtfully.

Arrest them, take away their cars. Repeat until they do "give a shit".

From the article: > The introduction in 2011 of “zone 30” areas on a limited number of residential streets and along school routes resulted in a 30% reduction in fatalities and serious injuries This benefits everyone.

The really big thing in Japan is you're not allowed to park ("litter") your car in the street. In fact you can't even buy a car unless you can prove you have somewhere on your own land where you can park it. It makes a

Those people will stop really understanding anything because they defer all their writing (and so thinking) to machines. They will get stupider and stupider.

We had a few AISLE-generated security reports, and the signal to noise was reasonably good. The most notable bug/exploit their scanner found was: https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/libnbd/-/commit/e50bbd26811

Is it though? Brute force searching generally scales like 2^n. LLMs on the other hand can obviously be trained, and even though training is massively resource intensive, it's not 2^n.

There was a recent article in The Economist about people fighting employment disputes with AI ( https://archive.ph/mi3zu ). On the one hand, democratizing the system, on the other hand filling it with massive quantities of l

The incentives here are really bad at the moment. Traditionally, your name on a CVE against an important project like curl have a certain cachet in the community. You might even leverage that to get a raise or a better job, so money was d

I had to take down my cgit repository a few months ago. The load was causing other VMs on the same machine to become unusable.

It's a social problem, technical solutions aren't going to work. To solve social problems you need the law to get involved. It should simply be illegal to install malware on someone's TV and use it to hijack their internet

It's kind of weird though. Is VxWorks (a proprietary embedded OS used on some of the Martian rovers) going to require it in case some underage Martians try to use Facebook?

You can do that, but the card is far more convenient and journeys are cheaper too.

by rwmj 2mo ago
Wait, the balance is stored on the card? I'm fairly sure the balance is shown in the JR app too, so presumably that cannot be the case. [Update: or maybe not? I opened the app now and it's asking me to enable NFC and hold it up

Can someone explain how this works? Huggingface serves enormous files and therefore presumably must pay huge cloud fees. As the dot com joke goes, they make a loss on every transaction, but don't worry, they're going to make it
