> Try pushing anything scientific against the climate change Mafia or against evolution theory and see how hard it crashes

The climate change... Mafia? You make it sound like the group is so powerful. If it were, I think we'd see more change around here.

Instead of a Mafia are you sure it's not just inertia? There is a lot of data and evidence for both climate change and evolution. Any theories going a different direction would need to show some exceptionally good evidence to the contrary if you wanted it to be taken seriously. That seems perfectly normal to me. If you published a paper stating that eclipses were harbingers of doom, I would want to see some exceptionally clear evidence simply because it refutes so much established science. It's not impossible; such change has happened before, but again, only with solid evidence.

That aside, are you speaking from personal experience here? Or are you just projecting? If you actually have a paper you tried publishing I'd like to read it.

One has to separate the science from journalistic malfeasance. The news is heavily dependent on attracting eyeballs, and fearmongering does that well.

Whelp, it was good while it lasted. Proton subscription is cancelled. Glad I never migrated to their password store.

It didn't help that azure (especially in the beginning) was a cobbled-together mess of ancient Microsoft tech stacks that were never intended to talk to each other.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see much wrong with any of the options above. Most of my assets aren't liquid either, yet I'm still taxed at a much much higher rate (when compared to total assets) than the top. I have to make decisions like "how much will I need good health care coverage next year?", which I shouldn't have to say isn't "ideal" either.

All one can do is try and stack the odds. I prefer to say that rather than "making your own luck".

You can equip rings of +1 to dice rolls but most of us don't get weighted dice.

Playing the odds is fine in poker if your pile of chips is big enough to ride out the bad dice rolls, but this doesn't always work in life. There are too many decisions where you're forced to go all in.

I do still largely agree with you, that our decisions influence our future options. But I feel many people who just say "we make our own luck" fail to realize just how much luck played a role in their lives. Survivorship bias and all that.

Given what just happened with PHP a few days so, it's not surprising to me that they're holding their cards close to their chest. People will already be doing their damnedest to reverse engineer the exploit with this meager info.

From the sounds of what info they felt was safe to provide, this wouldn't have impacted you anyway.

Introspection isn't a requirement to write an autobiography, and certainly not a biography. Just because someone can't stop talking about themselves and their accomplishments doesn't necessarily mean they analyze their inner thoughts and feelings for deeper meaning.

> How do they think we know the thoughts of these so called great men?

Many have biographies and autobiographies. Is not hard to spot.

You've obviously never worked in government before. The technology is likely not the issue; the bureaucracy is.

Hell it doesn't even have IBIS. I suppose they have to cut corners somewhere for the size constraint.

It's only funny when clowns do it, obviously.

This shouldn't surprise anyone as soon as they remember the purpose of the parent site.

Aw, they took the video down. I was curious to see how egregious the AI usage was.

> I can develop security exploits myself just fine without the use of AI.

Are you seriously claiming that the untrained masses can start developing exploits on their devices?

> but major retailers stopped providing that in email to limit how much info google could observe.

What makes you believe that was their motivation?

That's like recommending amputation to fix a bad knee. IOS is categorically worse in this department.

I don't understand your point. A published CVE is already public and thus there's nothing really to disclose?

Well, now that this story is coming to light, I'm guessing getting a decent lawyer will be pretty easy.

Did they though? Syndrome had a volcano base for sure, but I don't remember them ever showing a powerplant. The guy was harnessing zero point energy somehow; doesn't seem like mere lava would interest him as a power source.

Yup, that's what I've been moving towards. But that also means I'm doing less programming. Maybe it's for the best.

But something still doesn't feel quite right.

I haven't seen the book yet, but judging by the promotional pics in the article it's neat how many of the objects they chose to be photographed with are things they do rather than just things are currently infatuated with. I like this a lot.

> It doesn't bother me that Claude could one-shot it, because that's not the point.

What do you say to someone that is bothered though? I don't know why it effects my enjoyment so, but it does.

Normal? Sadly yes.

Correct? I suppose that depends on your definition. From a corporate perspective, perhaps. But from a consumer's perspective it's most certainly not the desired outcome.

The market for home inference is still tiny compared to the burgeoning datacenter market. Of course it's not for individuals.

I can't even imagine what George would say today. I know things weren't great in the 80s, but this seems to be a whole new level of stupid.

It's all unchecked, aside from capitalism itself. Obviously a Target isn't going to open in a bad location. But that wasn't the point I was trying to make.

I suppose I should have said "a desire for unchecked growth." Listening to the politicians, every single one would happily invite every fortune 500 company, every datacenter, every mall, every everything to set up shop in their town/state and are happy to entice with tax breaks to get them there.

I'm fine with what we already have. I disagree with the premise that if you're not growing, you're dying.

Personally I feel we need more of this. Turns out that unchecked growth isn't all its cracked up to be.
