I believe the GP was referencing the posted article with the 300 years comment.

Does anyone know how much of a black box these cellebrite (or competitor) systems are?

Like if we could get some into the hands of the best reverse engineers in software and hardware, how difficult might it be to figure out the methods by which they gain access (aside from standard brute force and the like)? Are these unreleased zero day software exploits? Or something that anyone with enough knowledge of of the hardware system could implement with say a few million dollars and a small team of capable people? How are updates delivered? Do we know that the devices don't provide remote access to the vendor themselves?

What the hell kind of response is this? All they did was point out the typical use case and you presume they want people to die? Either you need a serious break from the internet or you're a troll.

Two of my coworkers are homeless and in just that situation. I'm somewhat astounded that you can't see any reasons why people don't want to just pick up their lives and cut all ties to go somewhere else.

Not all artists want their art taken and distributed or modified endlessly.

Regardless, I think it seems important to create a system for tracking attestation of AI produced materials, especially with regard to disinformation campaigns. This may not be the sole/express purpose of the legislation, but we will need systems of attribution in the future to determine what's human made and what's not.

Mitigation:

> Our recommended short-term mitigation for implementers and vendors is to mandate that clients and servers always send and require Message-Authenticator attributes for all requests and responses. For Access-Accept or Access-Reject responses, the Message-Authenticator should be included as the first attribute. Patches implementing this mitigation have been implemented by all RADIUS implementations that we are aware of. This guidance is being put into an upcoming RADIUS RFC.

I dont know about timestamps, but this one was showing promise when i tried it last year: https://a9.io/voiceliner/

As an american citizen, I imagine.

Why dont you use their masked/alternate addresses. That was one of the primary selling points for me. Any questionable site/service gets its own address and is easily removed or filtered if spam starts showing up.

Much appreciated.

Thank you :)

What does MBB mean in this context?

They seem to rely on a corelation to feelings of inclusion.

> That’s because our research has revealed that burnout—which has historically been considered a consequence of long hours, a physically demanding job, or a high-stress environment—is also highly correlated with low feelings of inclusion. Essentially, employees who are more burned out feel less included at work.

And for determining inclusion they say the following:

> For this research, we quantified inclusion as a score of how inclusive an employee finds the workplace to be, using BCG’s BLISS Index, a statistically rigorous tool that identifies the factors that most strongly influence feelings of inclusion in the workplace.

This is a large part of my experience of burnout. Perhaps not so much alienation, as i understand it, but what you say in your last paragraph resonates with what really sticks in my mind when I'm starting to feel burnout. I end up having to endlessly push the idea of the pointlessness of my work out of my mind and that becomes a form of additional mental 'overhead', so to speak.

Are you implying that any resource can just... auto-regenerate?

Can you send me some of whatever you've been imbibing?

Well said. I've been reading through the comments looking for this nuance and I think you're the only one (so far) that hit the nail on the head.

I didn't know that. Thank you. I'll probably stick with ADD for most things though, because it seems like it's easier to say (barring my own qualifier for clarity) and people generally understand the distinction already. But this will be helpful in more technical circumstances, I imagine.

I also suffer from ADD (non-H type). While I definitely acknowledge the validity of your point, having a view of the other side of the coin often helps to cope with these things. Not just cope, but moreso to keep in mind where we might best apply our efforts to have the greatest effect in our favor. It certainly helped me to have things reframed in such ways.

I think it's more a matter of degrees than a wholesale one view vs the other.

I think the article said another 8 are being placed on a most wanted list or are being pursued. So maybe 3 drops in the bucket?

Assuming those are all master-control servers, how many would it take to make a significant difference?

They're still monitoring and investigating transactions, so it seems likely the numbers will grow.

I've seen this market in action. My dad had his car written off years ago and he bought it back the day after he got his payout. We just went to the yard where it was to be 'scrapped' and paid about 1/4 of the payout total to take it home. The only damage was to the side panels and bumper, so we replaced those ourselves and he still had a fair chunk of money left over.

The guy at the yard said any car without damage to the frame or drive train is likely to be picked up by a used car shop or private resellers who do the repairs themselves and flip them.

OP didn't say extinction event.

That aside, if all nukes were launched, it's not about the directly irradiated areas. Imagine how much fallout will be launched into the upper atmosphere when 10,000+ nukes hit, with many in the multi-megaton range.

The sheer amount of material thrown into the air could virtually blot out the sun for potentially years. Given that a large portion will be radioactive, it could be raining death for years too.

Private investors aren't the only way to have rentable properties.

And with not for profit housing, rent is much cheaper and gives a much greater opportunity to eventually no longer need to rent.

I think GP meant 'where or from whom have you seen/heard demand for this?'.

Weirdly, I was just thinking about using an LLM to form sql queries for me, because I've forgotten much of what I knew. First time I had that thought and 5 minutes later, this fascinating idea rolls into my feed to pull me in further. I know I'm not exactly the target audience, but now I'm intrigued.

I went through a coding/design bootcamp a while back and there was virtually no focus on SQL, so a lot of my classmates were hesitant to jump into relational dbs for projects. I could see it being used in a tool for new devs or those who've focused on a JS stack and need some help with SQL.

Any idea on a timeline for this? I was hoping to try it, but it looks like the only options are sign in with Google or Microsoft.

Seconded on both accounts.

> The earth's magnetic field is decaying at an exponential rate as the poles shift.

Got any scientific sources for that claim?

> I believe we've spent far too much time worrying about CO2 and not nearly enough worrying about the dangers from our sun.

Other than hardening our power grid to the effects of solar storms, what exactly could we do WRT the sun and the magnetic field?

Also, given our serious lack of progress on climate change targets and the glacial pace (pun intended) at which it has been accepted as 1) real and 2) anthropogenic, I think saying 'too much time' is inaccurate.

I would bet that those numbers don't include a large number of private/p2p sales and cash sales, given that they're from a credit agency. Perhaps I'm wrong, but based on the number of sub-$3000 cash sales I've seen in my extended circle of acquaintances over my lifetime, I'm pretty sure there's a large chunk missing from the data.

But even then, assuming they somehow capture every resale of every vehicle, most people who can barely afford a car are not buying another car as soon as their payments end. Many, such as myself, drive a car until it dies. We tend to also learn a good deal about vehicle mechanics/maintenance to keep it going 'on the cheap' until either the engine or the transmission fails catastrophically and it becomes cheaper to get another used vehicle.

OP said 'we'. Perhaps my psychic abilities are malfunctioning, but how do you see that this is a case for using clearly? The OP can't understand the inability for people to pay for things without government assistance, as if there aren't vast swaths of people who can't afford the very thing he is presupposing. People who are struggling should be considered and the very fact that the use of 'we' somehow excludes them in those considerations is kind of the point.

'New car' being the operative term there. Also note that I said out of touch with people who are struggling. No one who's truly struggling to get by is going to be buying a new car and certainly not at those prices.

To clarify further, my response is primarily aimed at the idea that the op couldn't even understand why people would need the government to help pay for things and pre-supposes the idea that all of us can afford $10k per year on a car.

Show me the data with the average and median of all car purchases, not just new, and I'll show you that $800/mo is far from 'nothing'. Hell, my first 3 cars were under $4,000, with each lasting 5 years or better and I damnwell didn't spend anywhere close to enough on fuel and maintenance to bring my costs to even half that number. Maybe I'm an outlier, but in my bubble of poor folks, I'm certainly not.
