To agree: If I ran Metasploit against HF and RubyGems because I “accidentally” misconfigured my lab sandbox, there’s a good chance I’d be prosecuted. I don’t think LLMs vs Metasploit being different software changes the law.

I don’t think it’s required, but my friends who do flights for remote mining operations in SE Asia use the same concepts — so it really is pretty standard for commercial flying, even down to remote private operations. A bad bump on a commer

You would conclude that storytelling is higher structures of some base unit, perhaps a few layers deep when considering features, eg: narrative -> trope + theme -> memes

Interpreting data is hard. Eg, if you have a bunch of airplanes returning from a war, you might be tempted to armor the areas where they were hit. But you want to armor planes where the holes arent because those are the critical areas. If

Icebergs are deep and visible. Deep here is similar to “deep web”, ie, there is depth to the institutions beyond their apparent surface layers. The elites need a deep state because organizations are made of people — and the administrators o

This doesn’t even show the family is better off economically — they only measure their earnings, but not lost labor while at home.

Of course it has positive GDP on the parents: if two women each care for each others children rather than their own, GDP goes up even though the impact on both families is negative (due to lost travel time, as the mothers swap roles).

They route through all kinds of intermediaries that handle the banking by proxy — eg, as we saw in the Panama Papers and similar leaks. Reporting $600 in CashApp isn’t about stopping cartels, terrorists, etc; it’s about harassing sex worker

In practice, KYC does little to stop any of that — but does do a lot to enable mass surveillance and oppression.

I suspect the argument is more the particular KYC required by American law, eg, as long as your bank can identify you as a particular customer, they shouldn’t be required to collect certain information by law. Though if I were going to rant

How do you synchronize the clocks and compute the measurement, without depending on the conclusion? You run into a similar problem with Michelson-Morley: because the apparatus and the light both get distorted by any motion, you can’t even

I’m American — I just view politics through form rather than propaganda. Eg, the concept of “left vs right” arises from USSR propaganda distancing themselves from fascists, who believed in similar practices. You should also respond to the s

You also have a self-selection effect: users willing to fill out more involved surveys may pair with each other at a higher rate than the overall background.

My understanding is that it’s on shelves in a shared vault and you relabel who owns that shelf/slot/bin.

I did an undergrad in math with a little research in number theory and recognized parts — eg, I myself worked through the proof for odd regular primes and that 37 is irregular, breaking the general case. Wiles-Taylor-Wiles was the origina

Joseki are akin to book openings in chess, eg, we routinely see players going 20+ moves entirely from AI prep.

There’s no assumptions. We know he was killed by the John Brown Gun Club operating as “security” for CHAZ because they live streamed them shooting the vehicle, discovering he was still alive, and executing Antonio Mays Jr to the chilling wo

Imagine working this hard to defend child murder by your political allies, live-streamed on Twitch when they assassinated a black youth for joyriding on their turf.

They did — in the targeting database which wasn’t correctly updated with the new analysis. That’s exactly the sort of bureaucratic mistake which gets exposed via wartime mishaps.

Antonio Mays Jr was killed on livestream by CHAZ security — and the crime scene tampered after to prevent conviction by CHAZ members. Tyler Robinson is clearly leftwing, as evidenced by the message on the bullets and association with the le

Who have they assassinated in the last 10 years? We have leftwing examples from Charlie Kirk for speech to the live-streamed execution of Antonio Mays Jr for joyriding on leftwing militia turf.

Parler experienced a government coordinated shutdown across app stores and infrastructure providers like AWS. I’m not sure what distinction you’re trying to make, when their infrastructure (AWS) was shut off due to the government labeling t

I don’t think it was intended. I think that when you’re bombing thousands of targets, a 0.1-1% targeting error rate leads to dozens of unintended collateral hits (and thousands of civilians dead) — and is among the many reasons wars are hor

I can’t comment on if it applies to your workflow, but one process I’ve used is to aggregate and land ~10 security patches at a time. Eg, - grab a group of (related) bugs/defects/vulns - fix them on a branch like bug-batch-XXX - r

Okay — you’re still not explaining what actually breaks, just repeating they could measure over and over. Please say what you specifically believe is unphysical about the situation — what trajectory reaches the singularity in finite time an

Desperation is no excuse for anti-social behavior. I am calling out exactly that sentiment, because it removes the intelligence, agency, and morality from the people you’re discussing by reducing them to animals. You call them lessers and s

They feel superior to those “lesser” humans, when denying them equal intelligence, agency, and morality. They’re just getting off on being racist to the “savages who don’t know better”.
