Maybe it's time to move to an open weight model.

I disagree. It doesn't take much education to know that your laptop is going to need to be thrown away in 4 years vs upgraded.

I'd argue a lot of people care about being able to upgrade RAM more.

I genuinely don't think people care that much about thin laptops.

Could it be that thin laptops are largely an excuse to provide a need to solder RAM; which in turn encourages consumption through obsolescence?

This is only likely to be true for as long as the programme is sustainable.

We all need the prospects provided by a new points of view, regardless of our situation in life.

However, wealthy people also need to recognise privilege and support rather than take; glad to hear OP chose to support.

> I would have though production would be where the worst actual exposure occurred, breathing in fumes from liquid mercury.

I thought we were talking about lead?

Apparently they had no idea it was bad in medieval times.

The wealthy were particularly afflicted, as lead was used in glazes; which common folk couldn't afford.

The common folk weren't spared though, as they were caught up in production.

I imagine it could have greatly affected the development of societal norms.

I wonder what the community vibe would have been like, in these places where lead smelting was so prevalent.

We all (now) know the effects of severe lead poisoning. Delirium and hallucinations, miscarriage and still births, anemia .. what would these forboding circumstances have been attributed to at the time?

Did people understand how hazardous the production of lead was?

It looks like the person in the photo had a parotidectomy.

I had the same two years ago.

True, but I imagine there will eventually be a tipping point.

I think the original comment may have been amended.

Either that, or I wasn't fully awake when I wrote it.

I know someone who hacked his own site using the exploit and managed to obtain a database dump.

Well, tell him from me, he'll probably regret writing the article when he reaches his thirties.

I'm waking up in the UK and thinking about the incident in the cold light of a new day, and things actually seem far worse to me.

What about our routers? What about Home Assistant? What about IoT?

Vulnerabilities are going to surround us, many of which will never ever be patched.

We may well be fucked.

But don't you understand? The aim wasn't to prevent the breaches that would inevitably happen on day one; it was to prevent the breaches that would happen after that fact. Without mobilising everyone and getting people to patch through an event, we'd be in a far worse position.

The greatest trick that Devil performed was convincing people that he didn't exist, right?

In practical terms:

1. An attacker identifies a publicly accessible website running vulnerable PHP.

2. They send specially crafted HTTP requests to the website.

3. The requests trigger vulnerabilities in PHP's internal memory handling.

4. If exploitation succeeds, the attacker can execute arbitrary code on the server under the privileges of the affected PHP process.

For all we know, Elias Taylor has been fabricated in order to remove the sense of urgency from as many sysadmins and devops as possible.

WordPress has never been much more than a blogging engine unfortunately.

It's genuinely so much better than it's ever been.

I completely understand how people got burnt. The move forward was less about bringing users, site builders, and developers along for the journey and more about providing what enterprise needs.

And one of the enterprises that was front and center was Acquia, Dries' organisation that he set up to offer consultancy services based on Drupal.

Having said all that, it is genuinely a very good product now, and one that LLMs are incredibly good at building with.

The high level of documentation, convention over configuration, and the API-driven nature of Drupal lend themselves very well to LLM assistance.

Considering just how awful WordPress is in terms of security, community, cohesion, code quality and maintainability. I think it's a crying shame that Drupal has lost so much goodwill.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but I'd recommend anyone reading gives it a try with Codex or Claude code, and you'll hopefully see what I mean.

Yes, I'm far more likely to purchase if I can understand the full picture. It's not quite as good as frontier models, but it's 60 times cheaper.

Honesty and transparency are attractive.

I would love to provide a version of this for my city. I think the council could do with a way to practice without destroying what we have.

Is my dishwasher my friend?

Maybe I should be port scanning it to make sure?

This is a great idea. We'd slowly but surely end up in hell via a process pf reduced selection.

And here we have it: the real reason that regulation has been called for, the ability to put out models that don't vastly outperform those previous, while not upsetting (future) shareholders.

Maybe the solution is even simpler.

Use film.

I held off installing macOS 26 due to all the negative press.

Should I upgrade to macOS 27?

Maybe that's a triggering a method designed to mitigate against prompt injection / attacks involving poisoning.

I think Paul is assuming he'd also be wealthy.

Wealth inequality is a huge factor in our ability to excel.

Re. 'overpriced', I'm assuming OP talking about their theoretical stock price.
