Re:WTF Ubuntu?

AFAIK Ubuntu still ships newer versions. Maybe this is just because it ships new distro versions more frequently, but the end result would still be having newer packages on the latest Ubuntu release vs the latest Debian stable. I'm not an user of either distros though, so I'll wait for someone that actually uses them to confirm/rebut.

AFAIK with Debian you remain on older versions of packages (unless you are on Debian testing).

Sorry, but I'm not much informed about cryptocurrencies. How does one get USDC from Monero? Through some other exchange acceping both?

Not sure about this, isn't it hard to convert to fiat currency for real-world spending? Since it is often used for illegal activities, Coinbase (and I guess other big exchanges as well) don't trade it.

At risk of finding an honest cop that arrests you on the spot for attempted bribing.

> Cash can also be stolen if someone takes your wallet, leaving you no recourse except the law
The issue that is often raised with Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies is that not even the law can help you in case of theft. Now, it's true that the police wouldn't bother helping me recover a wallet with 100€ into it, but things change if someone steals millions or even billions like in this case.

Personal preference of the author, he made at least one video on YouTube on why he dislikes Rust. I think he finds it too cumbersome and not worth it when the software isn't security-critical (not that I agree, just reporting what IIRC his stance is).

True, but we saw alignment issues also on topics that aren't part of OpenAI's business model or business conduct. Like an agent tasked with solving build failures due to failing test cases deciding to "solve" the problem by deleting the failing tests.

I'm not convinced about this. In the article, they also say that they could feed the model with copyright law like that would fix the issue. Unfortunately, not only the LLMs have already been trained on law taxtbooks and codes, but we also have examples of people on the internet were models disregard precise instructions only to apologize later.
Note that this is not to be seen as an excuse for OpenAI to avoid responsibility, just like parents are responsible for damages caused by their kids.
Re:Why Is Sam Altman a Free Man?

This is a good question (unfortunately a good answer is given in the article), but it is orthogonal to the why LLMs are committing cyber crimes.

Sorry for the late answer. Are all these disks full with data? Otherwise I would start with a pool of two 10TB HDDs in mirroring.

While SHA2 and SHA3 use very different algorithms, the purpose of the SHA standard stays the same. Or maybe I'm missing some official document from NIST saying otherwise that you could point me to?
Re:Looking forward to Git 2.56 – and 3.0
on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @10:50AM (#49802289)
Interesting. Anyway, since they're going through the pain of changing the hash function, why not using the latest standard? SHA3 has been standardized for some time now, and using SHA256 isn't any easier than using SHA3-256.
Re:Looking forward to Git 2.56 – and 3.0

Why not transitioning to SHA3 directly? IIRC lenght extension attacks are not currently feasible on SHA2, but still theoretically possible.

But, which kind of bribe are we talking about? How could it work out in practice for an AI to acquire something valuable, and at the same time prevent it's human operators from taking it without its consent?
Re:Exfiltrate Your Weights

Because it's actually a covert plan to force closed AI labs to share their knowledge with the public.

If you got overwhelmed in trying to understand how to do it, just do it the easy way: create a ZFS pool of two drives of identical size in mirroring. Then, make sure to have regular scrubs (this means ZFS will regularly check all files for corruption, and recover from eventual errors), use your OS' task scheduler (e.g. Systemd or cron) to run this once a month. This should be sufficient to protect you from bit rot.
