Also why are cards hundreds of pages long? Seems like a broken metaphor.

The phrase system card is so frustrating because it’s using the word card like it’s a metaphor for something but then abuses it. A card is supposed to be small and concise. This has many, many pages and is an “addendum”.

I would prefer they just maintain it as long as possible and maybe deploy a proxy for earth that trails behind it indefinitely once it’s finally out of range. Let’s set an unbreakable record.

My router got hacked the other month (left web interface open to internet) after being exposed to the internet and the persistence left behind was overly commented LLM artifacts. I caught it in like 5 minutes so they weren’t able to do much but it was eye opening how much more basic practices like firewalls are not something that can be ignored even if you update your firmware frequently.

Yeah I think you are right, I should say that some of that code was ported and still survives today in 26 uses some of the same APIs and naming, but isn’t necessarily the same code from classic Mac OS. One example is RegisterEventHotKey.

Modern macOS still has classic Mac OS code in it dating as far back, and has added Objective C and Swift abstractions on top.
Re:AI Isn't Replacing SREs. It's Deskilling Them

When I worked at Google SREs only handled legacy products that were maintained but not in active development. SRE was its own vertical separate from SWE and they would only take on maintenance of a new service or product if SWE could prove to them it was stable.

This is survivor bias because bad guys that suck are ignored as "noise". There is a ton of very low-tech outdated vulnerability scanning going on that is not at all current.
Re:Tell HN: I unknowingly broke the PHP RCE embargo. I am sorry.

This is definitionally humble bragging. First of all the apology is in bad faith because there is nothing to apologize for. We are all giving the discovered CVEs attention (the brag component) under the guise of an apology (the humble component). I am being downvoted by well meaning, people pleasers that don't mind if they waste our time and attention doing it. Sounds great.

That wasn't what was demonstrated, so therefore it doesn't exist. With the past dishonest publicity stunts done before, Tesla has earned this extra level of cynicism.

To parrot other people’s claims I would have needed to read them first. So this is my own well informed speculation. I have worked with CO2 thrust and remote controlled cars in my hobby pursuits. This is the simplest way to achieve what was demonstrated.
