If two AIs talk to each other does the rest of the forest hear?

This was used in a L05tboy mystery challenge at defcon something like a decade ago. It has made for great trivia ever since.
Re:Can't find a job after graduation? Blame WFH, not AI on Tuesday June 02, 2026 @10:37AM (#48370853)
Oh yes, another anti-wfh opinion article with no new insights from the previous 100 articles discussed here.

A domain + compute has never been cheaper. That said, I think the signal-to-noise ratio on the modern internet makes discovery difficult.

C-b [ allows you to scroll up/down
If I miss but land back in the old gravitational field, I'd like a retry
The RE//verse conference has very high signal to nosie for reverse engineering content and attendees. I'd highly recommend it if it's an area you're interested in.
This talk was a hit at Districtcon's junkyard talks -- outstanding work; and hilarious to see Doom inside of C&C.

The obvious next question is: does the AI on cocaine outperform? https://pihk.ai/
For logs I'd be more likely to choose https://www.gravwell.io as it's log agnostic and I've seen it crush 40Tb/s a day, whereas it looks like greptime is purpose-tuned for metrics and telemetry data.

Agreed on outline, though their lack of local auth is kinda annoying. But Authelia works pretty great.
I remember waiting the The Pitts renegade server to start at 5 PM. Great memories from that game, it's a shame Westwood was acquired right when it was released.

Used Arista 7124 and 7150s are pretty cheap on Ebay.
I've been frustrated by the ability to easily disable vehicle cellular systems. In older vehicles you could simply unplug the right cable and have it disabled. In newer vehicles I've found the cellular system to be integrated with other components -- making it impossible to disable without also getting a permanent check engine light.

Ideally I'd like some sort of CAM module that plugs in between the antenna system and the ECM that selectively drops telemetry packets.

It's the PayPal method of conflict resolution. Freeze everything immediately, and maybe a few months down the line you'll get to talk to a human who might allow you to process transactions again after you provide a menagerie of documents.
It's curious how corporations try to litigate business models that struggle to survive the Internet age, enabling places like Anna's Archive to pop-up and do more damage than simply leaving the IA alone.
A tangential topic studies how you can actually trust the hardware. Andrew "Bunnie" Huang has done a lot of great work in the area, first with Precursor, and lately with Infra-Red, in situ (IRIS) inspection of silicone.
