When reached for comment the family said, “how could this happen to us? We’re not even trans?”

Have the day you voted for, know that you won’t be the last people in rural areas that this happens to, and that when the AI bubble pops you still won’t get the land back. It’s gone forever.

They typically condemn the land before using eminent domain.

The adult entertainers are the VC investors. They’re pretty world-wise, but can’t be well versed on everything. So when someone sells them on something that sounds pretty good, they bite. The CEOs are the bros laughing about how great everything is, except in real life they don’t have consequences. All the CEOs get paid like it might be their last job so if they never work again they’re still fine.

It’s still impressive to see what the LLMs cook up when asked about programming problems. I’m coming back to programming from some time away from it, and it’ll give you the answer to the question you asked. If you ask it for an old way of doing something, it’ll tell you that. Then it slips and shows you a new way of doing something (I’m specifically talking about std::cout versus std::format and std::print), and the doors are wide open all of a sudden.

Then it gives you a technique for something and you spend hours debugging code only for the LLM to say that the solution it provided won’t work.

Prompt engineering is going to be a real thing whether we like it or not.

I know :-)

Here’s hoping for more red today.

Replying to myself to put up a link to the jenga tower scene of The Big Short in case nobody has seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbiDrzTd8fE

It’s there in the S&P 500 between MSFT and PLTR on the left kind of in the middle (size of the box is the market cap of the company). It’s in practically every 401(k) in the US. BBB is somewhere in the middle of the jenga tower.

Ah, sorry.

D-Bus has a similar mechanism to the one that got this hacker arrested. I guess I was expanding upon the previous conversation about how much stuff is considered inside the inner security circle for d-bus.

You shouldn’t forget about selective enforcement.

It’ll be funnier when it plays out at a spacex shareholders’ meeting.

Long story short: Microsoft just helped pop an alleged hacker using some windows device ID. I linked to a post in the hackernews thread about d-bus:

Ft. Knox

Did anyone ever go in there and show the gold? I thought someone campaigned with that as a promise.

it would be able to detect

“It” doesn’t have to be any good at it:

Most still will. Like I’m sure a lot of people are doing, I was trying to reuse old hardware for a new purpose. Perfectly good computer with 16GB of RAM with an AMD A8-3850. I’m not complaining about progress’s march towards the future, but I missed the warning signs about the changes. I’m sure some other folks probably did as well.

I’m going to drag out my same soapbox: a lot of systems old enough to use DDR3 RAM will have x86_64 v1 or v2 processors. Some projects have already removed support for those, the big one being the RHEL kernel as of RHEL9.

Who defines the untrusted applications though?

¯\(ツ)/¯

If GNOME wrote it then they probably trust it. If you’re using GNOME, then you’ve accepted their security model on some level.

At least you know to go look for it. Attackers will only get more sophisticated:

according to their stated security model, untrusted applications must not be allowed to communicate with the secret service.

That won’t be a popular stance to take when someone eventually steals a bunch of cached, unlocked credentials off of D-BUS because of an oversight somewhere in the npm/aur/pip/cargo/whatever ecosystem.
