Performance tires aren't going for economy. They come with less tread height because it has better behavior under side loads (turning). And less rolling resistance and marginally less weight.

Even ultra high performance summer tires can tolerate wet. You have to deliberately choose to run slicks (or bald tires) to get something that can't handle rain.

Plain all-season or M+S count here. Summers don't. (If I were god-emperor, I'd change the privilege from AWD drivetrain to 3PMSF tires.)

Tires are the big thing. The vast, vast majority of Seattlites aren't swapping out for a winter tires set in winter, and they aren't running a 3PMSF-rated all-season / four-season / all-weather tire, either.

Wet is ~40-50% reduction in traction on asphalt, and it's even worse for paint. That seems pretty serious. (Of course, surface oils can be even worse.)

Just relaxed chain requirements in Washington.

You can travel mountain passes in the winter without putting on chains (most of the time). Regardless of whether you're running winter/snow tires.

Winter / 3MPSF tires are a much bigger factor, but are not similarly enshrined in state law. And all vehicles have all-wheel braking.

And their engines have struggled with gasket issues and oil consumption for a long time. People here love the AWD, though (my state enshrines AWD as a special class in law, artificially driving some demand).

Again, their economic value is the same as it was before.

Anecdotally, I didn't start using AI at work until after summer 2025, and now it's essential.

Their shares are worth more as a result. Oracle's corporate charter has some provision for the number of shares they're allowed to issue and existing shareholders bought their shares knowing that. Increasing the authorized share limit requires shareholder vote.

They own a smaller portion of outstanding shares, but the shares they own are worth more. Their value doesn't decrease.

It's not dilutive -- current shareholders get $10B (or 97% of $10B, whatever). Market reaction is some combination of profitability concern / bankruptcy risk because Oracle is super leveraged and taking on even more debt. Maybe the AI hyperscalars will slow down spending in 2028.

Have to wonder if Apollo has some short positions on the Mag7 or whatever.

Great!

The Redox article is underselling it somewhat. Part of the problem is Linux's historical syscall restriction systems (seccomp) did not (does not?) apply to io_uring, so io_uring is (was?) all or nothing on async versions of syscalls it implements. Also, io_uring is rapidly adding API surface compared to other parts of the kernel. With these factors combined, it has had repeated security problems since 2019 and has lead to, e.g., Android disabling io_uring entirely for applications.

> in the past year, there has been a clear trend: 60% of the submissions exploited the io_uring component of the Linux kernel (we paid out around 1 million USD for io_uring alone). Furthermore, io_uring vulnerabilities were used in all the submissions which bypassed our mitigations.

Why now? These events were 60 years ago.

Europe never beating the allegations...

Forging doesn't scale. No one wants counterfeit for anything close to $1 per dollar. You have to pass off bad bills one at a time.

That's just what the writers of the fictional show thought was utopian. It doesn't tell us anything about the real world; it's fiction.

Wat

Huh. Do people actually find that Fable-5.1 is worse than Opus-5.5 for any task?

Does it rank on FelonyBench, though?

It's Ars; you come to expect it.

CVSS scores are essentially meaningless. Don't read anything into it.

Or Social Security.

The German one isn't relevant for post-war American ships. Hope that helps.

Games can have a story/narrative without extensive scripted cutscenes! These things are almost entirely orthogonal.

Eh. My point was that your wishful thinking isn’t even internally consistent. And certainly has no basis in the real world, where not everyone shares your exact ideology.
