I love when Google maps in the NY metro area makes me want to take a left-turn, at a stop sign at intersection with a 6 lane road that doesn't get a stop. Yes, these insanities exist and are basically fucking death traps to attempt lefts.

Yep a lot of this falls under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act which can lead to criminal prosecution of an individual.

You lost access officially when you left the employer. Just because you still had some vestige credential that _could_ let you see old employer data does not mean you are legally entitled to use it.

The Musk lawsuit was based on a Musk tantrum.

Apple is outright going for corporate espionage claims. They can also fall back to the CFAA and push for criminal prosecution of former employees individually.

Because isolation totally works, looks at Cuba and North Korea

It's entirely possible China has a little bit of a bubble too when it comes to development investment vs demand. But obviously the bubble in the US is basically a whale compared to whatever small fish China is.

Apple is also just partnering with Google.

It's inevitable though. The funny-money has outpaced actual money by lightyears at this point.

On the plus side, our interest rates aren't 0% right now, so there's some room there.

On the down side, our national debt generation now exceeds 125% of GDP and bond rates are shooting up because nobody wants to buy our debt.

It's been a problem for awhile. Daniel Stenberg has talked about it numerous times on his/curl's blog for the last 4 years. They became their own CNA to try and control it, they opened a hackerone with rewards, but now removed the rewards because it got flooded with AI generated slop daily.

They patched the vulnerability within 2 days. They spent 6 months rearchitecting their backend. It's a major service for themselves and tens of thousands of customers, you don't vibe code yourself a new database query execution engine overnight.

Codeberg was competition for the EU, in the topic of tech-sovereignty which is a incredibly hot topic in the EU. With the US abusing it's position not only recently but years past, the EU is accelerating funding and plans to decouple from anything the US can mess with legally. Much of that sentiment has been spreading all over the EU governments and software communities.

GitHub for all its purposes remains a platform hostile to EU interests long term.

Funny enough if you read their blogpost on this, they don't want people with useless toy projects, they want projects with communities...(subtext: to leech off of).

That blog post while on the LLM topic also started throwing the OSS bathwater out and went straight-on leech mode in between the lines.

NYS is trying to make it illegal for LLMs to give medical, legal or engineering advice. Because of course its a state built upon exploitation so.

The engineering aspect is quite hilarious. I have a PE license, but don't use it. But the PE definition in NY is wide open. Technically, if you do the right work, even writing software can fall under a PE license, though its incredibly rare. So this could theoretically ban LLM Code assistants.

Eh, I release my own one-off individual projects as FOSS. The entire point of FOSS and how most of the common FOSS originated was all one-off individual project. Even Linus created Linux because he could for himself (https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/how-l...), and not because he wanted to invent a mailing list bureaucracy to blow his spare time.

Codeberg setting such a high bar means FOSS is dead unless you are a company spending millions to fund something from day zero.

Not to worry, but big tech and government are slowly crafting laws that make non-big-tech operating systems illegal in the name of protecting children.

It's really easy to fix this behavior, as a consumer start throwing fits and refusing food when it comes out not as the picture. Enough people do it and those menus will change.

Framework is going for a computer OEM market where they need to make margin, hence the soldered-on components and relatively limited options. People in the pre-built computer market overwhelmingly don't care about replaceable components, because anyone else will just buy components and build a PC, for both the greater market of options AND overall lower price than buying pre-built (if they don't overspec).

Yes, BUT there's a difference between holding the power and actually using it to enforce ideological positions.

To be fair, AI writing is often unhuman. The biggest problem its more verbose than human writing. It adds additional not needed mental load in processing text.

Even in code documentation, I just need a function block that says "DO NOT PASS A VALUE OF 2", with maybe a deeper comment that says "yea the math breaks here", instead of a 5 page discourse on why you should not pass a value of 2.

So? Staging a stunt like this can be pre-negotiated.

We already have circular financing at levels that would make Enron jealous, what's a little collusion on top.

Money is a powerful motivator.

Killed artillery?

No, pretty sure every western country is still racing to increase artillery production, though rheinmettal is not up to a million shells per year. The war in Ukraine fully demonstrated that when the enemy is actually at your level and not just some cave dwelling terrorists, it becomes a war of attrition with every weapon system possible.

It depends on who the offensive party is. Obviously it's not going to protect you from someone with air or artillery support. It still does wonders against roving militias of insurgents...

China is allowing their companies to trade with Russia. That's all. China has not blocked trade with Ukraine either.

China also stands to benefit long term with a Russia that continues fighting and weakening itself.

Technology isn't the problem. The problem is the generation in governing power through the last 2 decades has no problem burning down the country's future to maintain lavish retirement funds for themselves.

I didn't look at the edge, I was just thinking of that idea while slicing some vegetables and coincidentally not paying attention at the same time.

Lol, I once sharpened my knives and went to cook. During the prep I said, "wow I wonder how sharp the knife is", next thing you know, i cut about 1/4" of my finger tip off, right through the finger nail with zero resistance.

Besides the blood getting everywhere and needing superglue to stop it, it grew back completely fine.

Non-nationalist parties that have been in power in Europe for so long are shitting their pants at the growing rise of nationalist parties and are absolutely planning to censor the shit out of them.

I'm not even taking a side here and what they are trying to do is obvious.

I'm sure we have still some grand-grand-grand children we can borrow from

I am not sure giving everyone amusement qualifies as a psychological attack. Lol

Literally, just another day on the internet.

Yep, I think my megacorp's cybersecurity department is just a bunch of checklist punchers that now just copy and paste any of our technical writeups into ChatGPT, and I am not even joking. Fucking infuriating.

They are doing the bare minimum for cybersecurity insurance requirements, thats it.
