This follows similar attacks on supermarkets in France: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/13/world/europe/france-cyber...

You don't get thermal and pressure stresses from throttling or even going into hot standby - the pressures and temperatures are the same, just the flow rate of steam changes. You only get thermal and pressure cycles from full shutdowns. As long as you keep the reactor/furnace warm then there's no issue here.

If you set up a really good AI code review pipeline then you can get pretty close. I've heard a couple of tech companies are targeting 80% of changes not needing human review and they'll probably scale up from there.

OT, but it was interesting. Some old typewriters didn't have a separate 1 a lower case L key. They had keys for the other numbers, but you were expected to just type a lower case L for 1.

Probably not, for all that America seems to be taking their side.

"Took part" should include those who knew about the deception and did nothing.

Fuschia is not a desktop OS. It's designed for lower end or embedded hardware. Besides, Android has the highly profitable app ecosystem so it makes more financial sense to build GoogleBook based on that.

Yeah, I heard the next one was Barium...or was it Boron?

I was going to say I don't know what they'd do for C, since Carbon and Calcium are already things. But knowing Google, they'll probably call it Chromium.

If Moore's law continues, then in less than 10 years today's state of the art model will be able to run on a cell phone. How much smarter do we actually need AI to be? Would it still require datacenters and custom hardware?

With regards to Senator Sanders, inflation is a thing. Also the massive increase in the cost of housing that increased the middle class net worth. He has been remarkably consistent about the segment of the population he wants to tax.

I'm also poor relative to the to 0.1% of people, but I still make a ridiculous amount of money compared to the minimum wage worker. If were better able to provide for everyone by taxing me more then I'd be all for it.

Not compared to trillionaires. How much harder do you have to work to become a trillionaire?

From what I read that's the entire point of the whole Googlebook replacing Chromebook thing. The whole desktop is based on Android so all android phone and tablet apps are native. Naturally there will be SDK changes as some apps release versions optimized for desktop.

Google probably wants it so they can extend their app store empire to desktop apps and games.

And if the structure isn't actually being used for military purposes they just have to say "oopsie"? It makes sense for occasional houses that are being used for military purposes to be destroyed, but destroying all houses simply due to suspicion seems like too much.

I think you're complaining that they have a bad product. A supply chain risk means something else entirely.

Yes. That's pretty much how it works for fascism. The government uses powers meant for a legitimate purpose to instead intimidate people and the mechanisms of government meant to restrain such abuse fail or are taken over entirely. Have you ever studied history?

What no one seems to be asking is what privacy and legal laws still apply for a datacenter in orbit?

They're effectively outside the sovereignty of any country. Further, it would be extremely impractical for any government's law enforcement to raid the datacenter and confiscate the servers.

I'm not sure how to be upset over this. For decades copyright has been extended and extended. Meanwhile, the ease and speed of spreading published works across the globe have increased massively. Don't forget that when copyright was first created, it could take multiple years for first editions to make it across the globe. In that environment, multiple decades of copyright makes sense. Whereas today that would actually stifle innovation and creativity rather than incentivizing it. I mean, because of the length of copyright we've gotten all of these live action remakes of Disney films or superhero movies rehashing the same stories.

I find it a little hard to be upset about AI. Supposedly stealing copyrighted works when the vast majority of those works. Probably should have been in the public domain to begin with. I have a faint hope that this scuffle between the AI companies and the publishing industry will result in more reasonable copyright laws, but I think it's more likely that exceptions will be made and AI will be treated as a special case.

If "god" is synonymous with the absolute truth of how the universe works then it can't address moral issues at all, since you can't prove an "ought" like "people shouldn't stab people" from an "is" like "stabbing hurts people and may kill them". You need to add extra axioms like "hurting people ought to be minimized".

The universe (and its intrinsic functions) holds no special value for people or trees or life in general. The best we can say is that it seems to have a slight preference for matter over antimatter for some reason.

All our moral codes and social norms we live by are purely human invention, derived from things that happen to work to produce a somewhat functioning society.

This is actually a really common form of fingerprinting. At one point in time, it could generally tell the website what operating system and CPU architecture you're running on. I know this type of fingerprinting was fixed in Chrome so it always gives the same answers regardless of platform. I think it was also fixed in Firefox and Safari, but I don't follow their releases as closely.

Of course, even though it's probably useless now, things like that hang around because it costs more for trackers to remove the code than it does to keep it in.

Increased funding did improve educational outcomes. It just didn't improve it enough to be considered worthwhile.

The fact is that educational outcomes are caused by a large number of variables. Areas with (historically) poorer schools have less competent (or more corrupt) administrations so money doesn't go as far. Even with good leadership at the top (superintendent or public school committee), if the source of that money is not something you can rely on consistently enough to pay salaries with then you are not going to see significant changes.

Pre-K education is also critical to determining later school performance, as knowing the alphabet and numbers are practically assumed by kindergarten curriculums as they are covered far too far to be more than a review. But we have not tried that yet, so we'll see if that pans out...

Not being able to exhaustively test simple problem absolutely means you can't exhaustively test massively more complex problem. For a monotonically increasing function f, which I think we can agree a function mapping from the size of the input set to the runtime of an exhaustive execution of all elements in the set qualifies as, if |small| < |large| then f(small) < f(large). Therefore if f(small) is too big then f(large) is definitely too big.

Did you see their presentation at Blackhat? https://youtu.be/87DyyMV0kCY?is=NnQxpOFxTX-MLu-k

They didn't share the prompt, but they did share two problematic training tasks where the AI went overboard. They also have examples from the AI's reasoning train of thought showing the AI knew it was sound something unintended.

Doesn't that mean these 33k tokens can be cached, since they don't depend on the input? The model can just start generation on the 33k+1th token.

I wonder why Chrome's built-in AI wasn't mentioned, but the Claude Chrome plugin was. Were they not able to trick Gemini, or was it not tested?

Yeah, I'm not sure how competitive it is without any specs. Just from it being "inference only" that puts it on the same level as Google's 2015 TPUv1.

There are schemes where you don't need key pairs for each user (assuming the government has some way of authenticating users). Private State Tokens use blinded tokens for this.

It doesn't prevent tokens from being stolen or sold, but the token issuer only accepts each token once and can limit the rate that tokens are issued and control how fast they expire, giving decent control over how practical using stolen or sold tokens are.

It doesn't necessarily have to be white mold either. Anything that generates a persistent immune response can keep it going once it triggered. Like really bad allergies.

So your "evidence" is the transcript of an interview that references an indictment containing information that hasn't been publicly substantiated.

Even if they're more productive, the amount of work to be done has also increased significantly. Not only is there so much work to be done on AI integrations but all of the other products have bug trackers exploding with new privacy and security vulnerabilities that need to be addressed.

Some of the security people I work with claim that without the productivity gains from AI, there is no way they could keep up with the bugs.
