This is the way, inconvenience the people responsible, not your fellow citizens. Block the robot company's street, not you main street.
Of course, it's safer to inconvenience the public than someone who will call the police and get you removed, or even jailed, even if the law supposedly protects both activities equally; but going to jail for their activism has never been new for actual activists.
Ask yourself: Am I willing to get arrested for my ideals? If not, it's just performance, and you'd better find something more fulfilling to do.
"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." -- Max Planck
Ah, my bad. The word "vulnerability" threw me off.
I'd guess that wasn't deliberate also, since logistically, it was better to hijack the plane while it was in range of their target, and it had enough fuel to make it look like kidnapping instead of terrorism to delay the response. One can't ignore that a refueled plane weighs about 20-25% more, though.
The obvious answer is using licensed paper and licensed pencils, that will erase your writing if you don't pay your monthly subscription.
Compared to the sums they bleed, sure, the 3+ billion that Pokémon alone sells every year is peanuts.
OK for monetization: We may have created yet another AI of DoOooOM this year!
Not OK for monetization: Someone vibecoded a clumsy clone of Alley Cat to the C64!
I jest, but we had (HAD) an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS that received the backported patch for PHP2Shell, even if the version wasn't supported officially by PHP.
This is why I insist our developers use the Ubuntu repositories instead the official PHP ones: besides possible instability, PHP doesn't do ancient backports.
What do you mean deliberately exploited? Given the information made available in the past 25 years, they didn't seem to plan for such engineering failure, it was more likely pure luck. I mean, crashing a plane, counting that the fuel would flow through the elevator shafts, still burning, and that it would soften the iron columns enough to make them buckle... it needs a competent team to plan that with certainty.
IIRC some the guys who hijacked the planes took flying lessons and were notoriously uninterested in takeoff and landing compared to steering, according to their instructors. They weren't very sophisticate.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, though. In a conspirational mindset, if it was a false flag operation (and it did help USA find support to rearrange the Middle East oil control, get rid of their old bomb stock, and a few other perks), a State certainly has the proper people to plan such scheme, and the actual hijackers would only need to know which face and height of the towers to hit, and at what angle and speed.
And only a measly 12 years behind! People that didn't migrate their systems to python 3 are in for a treat.
Your comment should be higher. Most indignant comments here are variants of "Tell me you don't know about CVE triage and Linux kernel releases without telling me you don't know about them". I mean, I also don't know a lot about them, but Canonical's security record has been exemplary in my experience, and I see no solid reason to doubt their process in this instance.
First, if this CVE did truly put every Ubuntu machine on the Internet at risk, we'd know about mass compromises by now, and there haven't been any reports. It means the CVE is not trivially exploited.
Second, the gravity of the CVE dictates the security release cycle. Emergency kernel patches carry risks of their own, and it would be worse to hurry a non-critical patch and crash a part of their massive user base.
Edit: I've been enjoying this comment going up and then into the negatives, what a roller coaster.
But they have very valid point: a CVE 10.0 with root RCE on twenty internal servers is lower risk than one vulnerable internet-facing server. All need to be patched, but the one on the Internet is your critical risk, the others are medium at worse.
I commune with giving more life to old hardware, but why subject yourself to the torture of gaming on a Mac? /s
The exact same configuration I bought in 2025 for less than $2,000 now costs $24,000. If I didn't need it, I'd be tempted to sell it and buy a used car, or save the money for when the bubble bursts.
Even if they're not malicious, there's no guarantee that they won't become malicious in the future. Prefer living off the land, and install only the very essential extras.
I don't know what Apple is looking for. The iPhone ships with a Weather app preinstalled, you allow it to your location so it can warn of severe weather, and several weeks later "OMG WEATHER APP IS USING YOUR LOCATION!!11!".
Same with MDM agents. Ours are installed automatically as part of the Apple Business Manager configuration, we manually grant them precise location in the background, and months later "HEY USER, WANNA BLOCK LOCATION FROM 'MDM SERVICE'?".
Edit: To avoid replying to the two following comments with the same reply, my gripe is not about the notification, that's a good thing; my gripe is with their implementation, which seems very in tune with Apple's way of complying with regulations. There are definitely many user-friendly ways to handle privacy compared to seemingly random notifications.
Only slop can fight slop.
Why not both? After the collapse of civilization, as long as you can maintain the computer running, you could educate the next generation as soon as they could write. Maybe they will bypass the local agent as they learn their way into the library, to save energy.
Consider they won't have access to the plentiful practice opportunities we have now, most resources would have to be spent with a practical goal.
A great strength of LLMs is how they provide useful answers even if the prompt has glaring spelling or grammatical mistakes. If your prompt is not great, as you said, they will reply in a way that helps you identify that flaws, and learn how to steer the model better.
They're amazingly useful tools, but they're nowhere the level believers want them to be, not yet.
TL;DR:
Trump hit on The Wall Street Journal for using the term AI, rather super intelligence (SI), his preferred term.
“When will The Wall Street Journal start calling Artificial Intelligence (AI), a very bad and inaccurate name, SI (Super Intelligence), the name which virtually everyone else is using, or soon will be,” he wrote.
He signed an executive order in September directing the executive branch to use SI, instead of AI.

> I have no idea how anyone is going to profit off this stuff
Spoiler: they don't, and never will without a significant price rise or technological breakthrough.
> jailbreaking deepseek with a less aligned model (glm 5.2) which then allowed me to jailbreak deepseek with deepseek
Could you elaborate more on this specifically? What is the process to jailbreak one model with another?
A thousand times this. Housing crises are not caused by the people looking for houses, they are caused by people/corporations speculating with houses.
IMO this is beneficial to Australia. Young, healthy, skilled immigrants? Things might be bad now, but this is the type of immigration other countries would beg for. Compared to retirees gentrifying health, housing, and sevices in general, this has more potential for the future.
I bet these foreign students are not profiting from your housing crisis, they're probably victims too. You should look further up, follow the money.
Aztecs used cocoa beans as currency (in their case, money did grow on trees :), and drinking chocolate was reserved to the higher classes. Every time I see expensive food with gold leaves I'm reminded of that. Maybe they tried to eat money too?
> Turns out 80% of the chocolate flavor comes from the processing, including fermentation and roasting and not from the plant
As someone who has roasted cacao beans and made their own chocolate, I feel slightly offended by this... yet, I have to concede that roasted beans share a lot of qualities. Cheap coffee used to have (maybe still has?) roasted garbanzo beans as filler, and it wasn't that bad. Old-style roasteries used to roast peanuts the same way they roasted coffee: a very tasty snack, and as aromatic as the coffee beans.
The "Fuck knows" response highlights Gibson's style perfectly. Not any writer is bold enough to not take themselves, or their works, that seriously. That's why I enjoy it so much.
I'll agree, since arcades could never give the experience a JRPG could. No shop would allow a player to occupy a machine all day unless they spent a lot of quarters.
Mexico has been doing that since the 90s, with the PREP (Programa de Resultados Electorales Preliminares). Preliminary results start pouring almost soon as the voting period ends, and in 24 hours we know the winner. Statistical models are perfect for this scenario, as they become increasingly certain. In my country, the loser has conceded defeat before all 100% votes are counted, by sheer mathematical certainty.
It always surprises me that USA, the self-appointed bastion of democracy worldwide, has such tortuous and malleable elections; and that no serious academic discussion occurs despite the endemic flaws. Even these days, the PREP's Wikipedia page lacks an English translation.
