Too often it takes repeated failures to clock in as a persistent problem at the necessary levels in an org.
If neither law nor insurance nor a CEO require it, it often doesn't get done.
Makes me think about hostile hot-patching of weights of models we use, maybe they exfil data, perform tool use, or have triggers for specific types of responses. Would we even recognize what's going on?
Discovery forces evidence to be turned over, but only if it exists and you know about it. Does the evidence exist?
It did in Swartz’s case, unfortunately for him. We don’t excuse an individual just because it’s harder to hold a corporation accountable. States have immense power over corps old and new, btw, it’s a failure of the people to not demand that be exercised, but this whole discussion is a non sequitur already.
What if they hide a laptop in a wiring closet and then try to come back for it while covering up their face to hide from a camera inside of it?
What if they run from the police who try to stop them?
In any case, we don't have to have quibble over shades of gray, it's all in the well-documented write ups and court docs. Mens rea is easily established here.
He did hack these systems and MIT's network. They had video of him in the MIT wiring closet and a mountain of circumstantial evidence. I'm not saying it wasn't pursued aggressively out of political motivations, which seems supported if you dig enough, but the facts of the case were about more than PDFs.
No IBIS is rough, because its definitely a useful thing - the R6 III has 8.5 stops for $2.7k, same price as the FP2 with an EVF. At $2.2k, the partial stacked sensor might reduce the jello effect, might not. It's an interesting tradeoff and it'll come down to whether the AF is good enough to make the 20 fps it shoots at usable. For example, if you shoot 30 fps but the AF doesn't work, 28/30 shots being blurry is a waste. The flagship cameras can get 60-90% keep rates if you do your part, so I'm curious what Sigma's system can pull off outside of a studio.
I think the biggest problem with a minimalist ILC is that a commodity body stops making sense bc once you throw in even a few decent lenses and the usual other spend on memory and lights, you're outside of the budget range. You don't _have_ to have Art lenses and nice gear - one of my favorite fun lenses is a $150 lensbaby experiment, but the gap between a decently rounded Canon kit and a Sigma kit closes in price and widens in capability fast once you get started, at least gear-wise.
Sigma's entire differentiator is quality at price for clear tradeoffs, and their lenses often succeed, curious if this might. Tough market, though.
Commodity hardware is plenty powerful and can be taken advantage of should prices signal efficiency is important again.
The midlife crisis is probably better described as a change or unease in the self and not knowing why you get out of bed in the morning anymore and that entire adventure, whereas this anomie is the social environment you're moored to breaking down.
In 5th gen warfare, the battlefield can be kinetic or information, and might be all around us and omnipresent.
What we're guessing at without this decade's version of a Snowden leak is what the equities of the US military are in this. Are we playing defense, offense, and where? Is the answer just, "yes"?
What about our adversaries, or more importantly, _who_ are our adversaries?
Consider just the usual 3 who are in the news: Russia, China, and Israel:

There's so little that's public about these wars and so little traction in the mindshare of the electorate, you'd wonder if it was real if you just talked to random people.
Not the concern, it's whether it's worth the time and energy to expand passkeys as the default and getting normies using them. Some people will always surrender and say they have nothing to hide, so be it. I'm more thinking about the practical rough edges that user bases will cut themselves on once you expand past the extremely-online.
From my experience, it's a nonstarter. The expectation that normies will understand and maintain a password manager layer to store their digital keys in and understand that concepts end such as sharing passwords or logging in on a new device without fully bootstrapping the password manager is just too far.
I think sometime after Q-Day when the dust settles and we've had to reissue all the keys today, we'll have a better answer on whether the specter of remote attestation is truly manifesting and in any event I bet there'll probably be an updated passkey concept by then.
Why don't they just--- no margin. But there were CVEs-- no margin.
The laptop class doesn't always grok that the shift-work labor class has nothing in terms of luxuries like security reviews and gear replaced on cycles and other basics taken for granted.
But I'd setup Tailscale and-- would you, the grocery store manager running on 3% margin, really? What if you're part of a chain and it's centrally controlled elsewhere, like all the other decade-old tech you use but have to call and wait for a dispatched tech to handle?
Secure-by-default laws will eventually help, but there's always going to be groaning infrastructure particularly in commodity industries, and we still haven't onboarded most of the disaffected men to the Internet that will commit innumerable more hacks and disruptions.
Further, once you have hundreds or thousands of devices, “just call someone to turn it up/down/off” doesn’t scale.
AI image analysis, gives managers a Statuspage-like dashboard of labor engagement. Green across the board, boss.
It seems like a faceless attempt to prune back WFH like you said. Even if it wasn't, nothing activates organizational levels of manager antibodies like open defiance by workers. She was cooked.
Meanwhile, home routers with meshing and security and built-in cloud management planes with easy apps are already cheap.
What would your pitch be when mom & dad would probably just stumble on Amazon Eero or Netgear Orbi? Someone already brought fire back to the home market, you can't differentiate if you're just putting up a site and a device, unless you hit some absurd low-$ cost in an already low-margin industry.
You'd be better off looking for a niche or industry where the edges are sharp, the tooling is bad or inconsistent, and there's no clear winner.
It wasn't a pointless rant, you're seemingly primed for something that didn't happen here.
It's a good argument that passkeys are a trap while TOTPs offer the security you need but avoid the absolute control passkeys may hand over, so stick with those.
The winner of classroom tech is classroom tech vendors, not students, not collective test scores.

Fear & the danger aren't the same. anyway, I'll let it go.
How would you know? Are you verifying them? SCADA systems weren't intended to be online, but that didn't stop critical infra for power plants, etc. to show up online. The convenience is too great to not try to remotely maintain them 'securely' & the assurance of airgaps is technical and expensive to get right.
Besides, are you considering the addition of modern AI to these 'offline' systems - factories, power, national weapons? You can get frontier models in a fraction of a rack today, who knows tomorrow. The organizations running these systems want in on the technological possibilities of AI, too.
Not to be a doomer about all this or anything, but there's a lot of evidence technologically superior entities dominate technologically inferior ones. So our home countries are in a Red Queen's Race to keep up, which is why adding "local" or "offline" AI to these systems seems probable. Again, airgaps are hard to maintain. It is within the realm of possibility that what's offline today is accidentally or intentionally networked tomorrow.
Researcher disclosures, even with POCs, have moved the industry to action incumbents would have rather buried. I’m thinking of CPU and memory exploits, and stuff like log4j, as examples.
Frontier AI is enabling the cyber arms race more than anything past, and certainly more than some bot slowly crawling web servers for old vulnerabilities.
If we’re talking harm, it should be in the broader context of internet history, imo.
I was pointing out the logical destination of this.
People with money have others shop for them, or ship to their house. The checkouts are for those who labor in that system who must now submit to the panopticon.
If you stumble into a big retailer like Walmart or Home Depot now yourself, it's like you crossed a zero-trust boundary. Security guards, motion-activated cameras that play sounds and nag you to remind you you're surveilled, manned turnstiles to stop door crashes with loaded carts -- all these adversarial controls suggest you're now in the wrong customer channel.
Bizarrely, I think it comes out backwards. In this article, the comments are surprised that Waymo's gun detection led to someone contacting authorities - it's not over guns, but that it was "young people" with guns, which means they can't use generalizations, there have to be bespoke solutions unique to every individual, calling the police to assess on potential threats is too broad.
The gun crowd would neither use taxis broadly to carry weapons, nor do so in the manner of the "juveniles" found in the article. Generalizing, they're well-versed in the minutiae of gun transport laws and more or less anticipate law enforcement contact, whether inadvertent or from Karens.
That consideration > prize isn't part of this common definition.
Nothing we can't google.
VMWare VCF is, let's say, $350/CPU core.
MVE is $600/socket, so at 32 cores, that's $18.75/core. At 64 cores, $9.38.
An 85% reduction in licensing/support fees is plausible.
100% was already possible, just not with 24/7 support.
