mapotofu··on Azure's Weakest Link – Five Full Cross-Tenant Compromises
“Go to the cloud!”, they said.

The cloud:

Let’s see how their platform design holds up in the coming years, and if it can hold up to LLMs doing more of this same type of discovery and whether MSFT can fix it.

mapotofu··on ChatGPT is adding real cartoonists' signatures to fake New Yorker cartoons
I’m a long time reader and know you can do better than this.
mapotofu··on Returning from vacation? The government can search your phone without a warrant
Many of us have been warning that the systems built by presidents before Trump, would be abused by a president like Trump, and here we are. I think the critics of the system are the ones with public welfare in mind and ask you to take a deep breath.
mapotofu··on Why Is Sam Altman a Free Man?
This needs to keep being said and reinforced despite the many people who want to keep this quiet.
mapotofu··on 'That's so AI ' What gen Alpha's biggest insult tells us
I would sooner listen to the children than anyone who takes this position, because my experience has taught me to distrust listening to anyone who demands respect just for existing.
mapotofu··on Coyote v. Acme (1990)
They will be entertained. I laughed harder than my 6 year old, he enjoyed it and probably also enjoyed seeing dad splitting sides. I think for your range they’ll understand and like it more. YMMV
mapotofu··on A mysterious kidney disease has arrived in Texas
I think you’re being generous because I find this behavior quite disrespectful. Presumably they did so to signal and then talk about themselves.
mapotofu··on Meta reaches $17B settlement over social media harms to children
The system rewards psychopaths like Mark. Decent people, like Tom from MySpace, cash their check when they have more than they need. Demons, like Mark, want more and more and more and more- they will go to any lengths to get it because screw everyone else, they are lessers. That’s Mark and that’s the system rewarding him. We all know Tom is way cooler.
mapotofu··on The Iran War Is a Whole New Level of Quagmire for the US
That’s not the AIPAC way, and they are the ones driving right now. Until Congress is cleared out of these scum bags then nothing will change.
mapotofu··on Abdominal fat predicts heart disease risk better than BMI
Beans are a direct product of plants. I don’t know what you are on about, but I’m sure even the celebrities you take so much stock in consider them “real food”, too. I wouldn’t know, because I have no idea what you’re ranting about.
mapotofu··on Credit card debt rises to $1.26T, nearing all-time record
And you have no idea about theirs.
mapotofu··on Credit card debt rises to $1.26T, nearing all-time record
Wow look at Mr. “I’ve-never-been-poor”, bragging about his privilege. What a flex!
mapotofu··on The American sports plutocracy
Yes, they can, but what’s your point? It seems reflexive/defensive, like the parent comment was wrong for not caring, and that they could support smaller leagues… but they said they don’t. Some people don’t.
mapotofu··on I requested a copy of my data from McDonald’s loyalty program
> I felt much more embarrassed and worried about the workers who saw me there all the time than the app knowing i was there all the time.

As you should - this is setting terrible meal expectations for your daughter and fueling a condition that will severely affect her development. No joke - feeding her that garbage is ignoring the problem and making it worse. You should sit down at the table with her instead of going round the drive thru again, and get some interventions other than a stream of chicken nuggets.

mapotofu··on Mark Zuckerberg attacks 'closed' AI rivals as Meta returns to open models
> No one is purely good, and no one is purely evil.

This post is utter bullshit and I think we’re all tired of the apologists, especially when it comes to Mark. These “middle of the road, let’s all be nice” solutions haven’t worked at all, and saying “Meta has done enough good” is extraordinarily questionable for those of us who have watched these tools rip apart the social fabric. Absolutely nothing will change when toothless people like yourself try to act like Mark is a normal person - we’ve all seen his fake, robotic, controlling, psychotic behavior over and over and over and over.

mapotofu··on US Military's cyber command unit grapples with cluster of deaths by suicide
There’s a constant cultural stream of validation for their job, and the more narcissistic ones come to collect from it. You’re missing the many who don’t do that.
mapotofu··on Taylor Farms Cyclospora outbreak triples in size
If you are eating the garbage they sell at supermarkets/chain restaurants then you are not immune to any of this.

Do yourself a favor and get a CSA, a local meat supplier, and knowledge about eating with the seasons.

The whole food supply chain is lined with fecal parasites from field to Sysco sales reps.

mapotofu··on All of Winona Police Department's Flock cameras cut down and stolen
> deletes one local copy.

I think you’re being a little too generous here.

mapotofu··on Apple is getting this wrong
My first thought was: did Sam write this?
mapotofu··on Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency Projects
Hey. It isn’t the same principle. We have guidelines here, too. For instance: “ Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.” “Avoid generic tangents.” Etc.
mapotofu··on How little exercise can you get away with?
That’s why it helps to reframe the gym as training for life by making one stronger at tolerating discomfort. Showing up, consistently, even when you don’t want to, and battling through discomfort, are transferable skills throughout life and progressive training is exactly that.
mapotofu··on Exercise intensity influences body composition in healthy older adults (2025)
This is not good advice and please remove the “basically 0 risk of injury” wording. Mobility is a limiting factor and poor body positioning WILL result in injury. Barbells are safe, progressively overloadable, and learning to move them is a straight line is what most people need to do before a lot of calisthenics training. Most people can’t even do 1 pull up.
mapotofu··on Flock-Powered Police Chiefs Stalking Women Shows Why Warrants Are Needed
Would love to see the same attitude extended to everyone, e.g. “respect all people”, but I guess if we don’t put the pussy on a pedestal we’re all authoritarians. If you keep pushing that narrative, you will be disappointed in what happens.
mapotofu··on Flock-Powered Police Chiefs Stalking Women Shows Why Warrants Are Needed
Her source of trust was instagram. The cop’s instagram led her to travel to Arizona and be with him. She was convinced by his instagram that she agreed to do all of this. That’s really dumb and it’s what you get playing stupid games with strangers on the internet.
mapotofu··on Israel targeted Gaza children resulting in genocide, UN inquiry says
And flagged 36 minutes after submission right around 104
mapotofu··on Israel targeted Gaza children resulting in genocide, UN inquiry says
It’s still pretty surprising that a country so armed to the teeth with ground troops and missile defense systems would have let Oct 7 happen for as long as it did, and with so many people dying. I agree that it was wrong of Israel to do that.
mapotofu··on Social Security funds could run short by 2032, program's Trustees warn
I think retirees need to pay the price, finally accept sacrifice, and pull themselves up by their bootstraps. They can earn $500/month easily working at the many places I see hiring for low skill labor. They aren’t contributing economic value otherwise, and it’s more important that we prepare future generations than to lose even more to the one on the way out.
mapotofu··on US tobacco firms applied tobacco strategies to globalize ultra-processed foods
You could make your own bread so you know what is in it, and how much should be in it, and that way you’d know the difference, and probably be better off knowing you don’t have to forage twigs and berries, or be so dramatic…
mapotofu··on Ultra-processed foods in the global food system: The role of tobacco companies
No it isn’t. The advice on nutrition is abundantly clear and has been for a long time: eat food, mostly plants, not too much.

That science has pushed GRAS as “food” is abysmal. Lots of you have just been punked.

mapotofu··on 'Point of no return': New Orleans relocation must start now due to sea level
I imagine this type of system is not designed for large, sudden and prolonged inundation of water, something New Orleans faces from seasonal hurricanes and their storm surges. Or maybe it is and it’s just a question of magnitude?
