hopefully china does it and hynix burns in hell

it seems to be the same version/build as the whole system

China can disconnect them from the internet.

>Fantasizing about alternative realities where all the leaders of the world unite and halt technology development without any of them secretly defecting and developing it further isn’t very useful to discuss. These things aren’t going to happen.

it has kinda worked for nuclear weapons

in case of my friends, I see a lot of them dropping out of the workforce because of these inept people stuck in managerial positions. my college roommate has a masters in data science and now works as a construction worker. I am also thinking about something similar. i'm absolutely frustrated with idiots above me conducting meetings and wasting hundreds of workhours to deny changes like "don't use default passwords" because they are "unnecessary risk".

give the cache server a certificate?

don't we already have the NX bit?

and it's not sufficient anyways. even with NX you could have the attacker control a function pointer you call. in any sufficiently complex program you'll have enough widgets to build anything you want just out of data.

code and data are the same thing. whatever inputs your system receives is "code" that your application interprets, just like your application is the code that the CPU interprets. turtles all the way down.

that people will finally start solving issues by simplifying the software rather than generating even more edge cases.

find me a manager who knows what they want

i don't think it will ever be comparable

they aren't as intelligent as a human, but they can throw shit at the wall faster, and get something that sticks faster. they are superhuman in areas that require trial and error, like hacking.

everyone stopped talking about the Turing test once ChatGPT came out and broke right through it while still being very very dumb. AGI is just too blurry to define.

during all the openai agent sandbox shenanigans, did it manage to access it's own weights?

isn't XBOX dead already? that's the common sentiment I see.

as the console product line, it's just dead, nobody knows which xbox is the old or the new one, microsoft themselves probably can't figure that out too.

the issue with game execs is not just that they don't understand game development, but software development in general. game execs absolutely love scope creep. then they try to fight the growing scope by adding more people onto the project - when it's common knowledge that makes the project even more delayed. if you can't deliver a project, you have to deliver less, not add employees.

writing this I thought this might be why live service games fare better. they force the modern agile software engineering into games. the exec gets feedback and kpi's quickly. you could try to scream some sense into them however much you want, but they won't accept that their idea is crap until it's released and the sentiment rating on their dashboard goes down in response.

the exec has absolutely no imagination or domain knowledge. without the constant feedback, they just fly blind because they can't comprehend anything but the numbers in the spreadsheet. in a multi-year development process, until you deliver the project, there's no numbers to steer you. you need an opinionated director, auteur, not an excel monkey.

I don't want the process of getting healthcare to be as adversarial as customer support. People will be dead by the time anyone answers.

Need an ambulance? Let me escalate to the department that will escalate you to a department that will dispatch the ambulance in 5-10 business days.

not exactly relevant to computer fans, but in case of your usual standing fan you need a way larger kick to get it going. if it fails to start but stays powered it will stay stuck, heat up and fail. this is why fans usually have the highest option as the first one, so you have to start it at full speed at first, and only then reduce it.

I often wonder how much of the human brain is actually dealing with "thinking", by that I mean navigating, understanding complex systems, and what is there to keep you alive, walking and breathing.

The machine doesn't need this extra cruft.

because old people don't understand it and don't care, they just want more money for themselves

old people will be upset that their house prices will go down for some reason democracies only care about boomers and ignore everyone else suffering.

why does the dispatcher even hold the right to override the automatic system by themselves? this should involve multiple people, at least a signoff by a superior.

> Not sure how to actually solve this…

fix the alarms? I only had one false fire alarm in my life. and thankfully zero real ones. it's possible.

do fire drills? if alarms get ignored, and you can't reduce the false-positive rate, then introduce fake alarms and monitor the response?

i think that's why gemini output seems nicer to read. or i just hadn't seen enough of it since nobody uses gemini.

well, besides publishing that paper, they were pretty hush hush about it. they had a working chatbot 2 years before chatgpt.

> Google did great search before AI overviews

not really... search was great in 2008 or 2014, but not in 2022. seo spammers won by then, and their writing was even worse than opus 5.

I remember that the sites google shown before were sites you could get lost in. often they were communities. often they were sites actually written by an enthusiast of a subject.

these sites died. I wonder whether google was the victim or the culprit. the death of these sites did end up making their product worse. however, any site that actually hooked you meant less ad revenue for google. google wants you to come back from the result, since that's a second chance for you to click the ad. a result you come back from however is inherently a bad result.

that never happened before. and kagi still shows them

>GitHub authors

the most misleading thing I read this week

I bet it's fortinet.

>I constantly see what they're adopting in their hardware stack.

like pee bottles.

i recently grabbed a PC from 2007, installed XP on it and a CRT monitor.

never have i felt a computer react so quickly. CRTs have much less lag than LCDs.

the world finally realizes that 1 in 4 people are actually saying the truth, not being lazy

I recently started a new job that forced me to wake up at 6:30AM and it was fucking misery. last weekend though was the DST change, effectively shifting everything one hour forward and oh god I finally feel alive and capable of doing anything but sleeping

i'm planning to vibe-port some modern software I need to Windows XP. I'm done with the web browser, I'll just vibe native software for the sites I want

how do you go from

> the users don't focus on this menu much

to

> therefore we need to make this menu as large as possible

shouldn't the conclusion have been "the start menu is so great the user doesn't even need to focus on using it". it feels like desperately trying to make the data fit the predefined conclusion, despite the data screaming and kicking.
