I don't like the Amish, I don't trust the Amish. They smell like horses and sweat. They speak a foreign language. They espouse extremist views.

tosapple··on Pentagon says overreliance on AI contributed to missile strike on Iran school
disappointing is the timing and locality of this "scoop".
tosapple··on What happened to the Snowden archive
i just had that conversation about 'industrial' effort and 'actors', we have recent examples of monetary corruption in the sacklers.
tosapple··on What happened to the Snowden archive
these are potentially the same people that killed epstein?

now, i don't believe that but you never know.

tosapple··on What happened to the Snowden archive
here's a bogeyman for you, accepting money in a representative democracy for political action is maybe mere nanometers from the definition of bribery.
tosapple··on US Revokes Limits on Power Plants' Climate Pollution
'shielding', is applied to both the energy extraction process of fission activity AND the remnants.

you're definitely not clear on the meaning.

tosapple··on The senior engineer death spiral
you know, that's not completely true. taking breaks or shifting from one idea to the next doesn't necessarily stop the ingenuity and ideas from flowing down the first path.

your hands might be limited that way, but your mind isn't.

tosapple··on US Revokes Limits on Power Plants' Climate Pollution
define 'climate pollution', this is all fine and well until they apply it to nuclear shielding.
tosapple··on Measure internet censorship
i can name at least (1) thing that wants "unmoderated space": LLMs.
tosapple··on Minimal Phone 2
drug scale for drugs?

you've got it wrong,

that scale is for measuring transactions in Au.

tosapple··on Inside ZCode: Silently uploading your Git history to the cloud
you used to only 'need' debug.com.
tosapple··on How do we prevent mathemathics from devolving into the Medieval Era of secrecy?
oh, haha. another point to make: what do you think they've been building out for 25 years with fusion centers and maryland/utah?

"government intelligence agencies" ARE 'AI'.

tosapple··on How do we prevent mathemathics from devolving into the Medieval Era of secrecy?
minus two or three things, corporate data is classified as public/goverment data. we just saw something about earmarking domain last month? two being imminent domain. three being natsec.

risk of prescient theory is more important than dismissive ablation.

edit: to wit, facebook google and anything else not e2e.

it's not like the ai is homomorphic.

tosapple··on How do we prevent mathemathics from devolving into the Medieval Era of secrecy?
the existence of the triplets NSA/CIA/GRU implies an imperitive no.
tosapple··on Dario, Please
two of these things elected a guy who handled the snowden leaks to field their own questions, what's stopping the next one from signalling in morse through a debian package mirror to putin or xi?
tosapple··on Dario, Please
why does it take a large amount of traffic to do irreparable harm? just breaking the physics behind a secure rng and posting it to a wiki could cause serious damage. if they don't know what is being worked on or coordinated against it's a problem?
tosapple··on CIA Releases President's Daily Briefs in Commemoration of 9/11
yeah, I'll avoid details to not give up the game but they're generally more important than ever.
tosapple··on Room 641A
hello, is this thing on?

bye, bye, miss american pie. drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry. and good old' boys were drinking whisky and rye

singin, this'll be the day that I...

it's report card time fellas, the department of homeostasis is feeding marijuana users to the prison system when the incumbent promised to reschedule.

edit: spelling.

tosapple··on Growing proof that autonomous cars save lives
this happened to me twice as a child, once on a main road with a shoulder and another time on a side street with no shoulder.
tosapple··on Trusting-Trust Attack against an Entire Linux Distribution
insertions can be much smaller than full blown LLMs.

simple single bit changes are enough to blast your private keys out to the ether of the public facing internet.

that big fat LLM does know how to make tentacles and eyes.

tosapple··on Trusting-Trust Attack against an Entire Linux Distribution
huh?
tosapple··on Trusting-Trust Attack against an Entire Linux Distribution
but now they will via delegation to an automated analyst/systems programmer.

get ready.

the effort required for a complete infiltration has been lowered a great deal.

tosapple··on Private German rocket makes history, reaches orbit from European soil
what kind've voter intimidating sh* is this? down-voted for being honest, promoting understanding and responsibility?

jokes on you guys as i firmly believe bullying racketeering and intimidation are quite literally terrorism when applied to population groups consisting of more than (1) individual.

careful on that slippery slope.

tosapple··on Private German rocket makes history, reaches orbit from European soil
one of those bush votes was to ensure he could clean up his own mess.
tosapple··on LLMs as a Cognitive Virus
yeah, the centralization and concentration of knowledge and ability through reliance in this manner enables the teacher to escrow all your states pencils at any given moment for whatever reason.

once embedded i can see whole classes of industry dos'd.

logistics, dos'd. it, dos'd. military planning, dos'd. medical, dos'd.

pay us this fee so you can update your nvidia drivers.

it's the unholy marriage of the surveillance and petrol states pushing this.

edit: what happened with vmware?

tosapple··on LLMs as a Cognitive Virus
they're the undead, fed by the slough of our skin.

greed malice pestilence lust envy...

tosapple··on Artificial beaver dams saw juvenile coho salmon survival rates go from 8% to 60%
I understand the regulation of beavers and predators, I was just lightly commenting about nature returning in a picturesque balance. such a picture is just a snapshot of a violent state machine however.
tosapple··on Artificial beaver dams saw juvenile coho salmon survival rates go from 8% to 60%
what's wrong with it not reverting to nature when they pass? people put flowers on loved ones graves.
tosapple··on METR and Redwood Offer Holy %^ Postmortem of the HuggingFace Hack
you don't believe that denialism is coordination?

what do you know about big tobacco?

tosapple··on FBI couldn't get into WaPo reporter's iPhone because Lockdown Mode enabled
What you say makes sense, just like the true/veracrypt volume theory. I can't find the head post to my "that's why you image post" but what concerns me is differing profiles may have different network fingerprints. You may need to keep signal and bitlocker on both, EVERYTIME my desktop boots a cloud provider is contacted -- it's not very sanitary?

It"s a hard problem to properly set up even on the user end let alone the developer/engineer side but thank you.

tosapple··on ICE seeks industry input on ad tech location data for investigative use
The way I understand it, which may be dated: is that if it's automated or robotic it doesn't qualify as an "unreasonable search or seizure".
