it *should* be that they have to pay for training data, probably, but it's not that in our current legal system and won't be without a new legal bulwark (and that's how these things work, copyright itself of course emerged out of these kinds of issues happening before with new technology)

i’m still laughing that it happened to be “4” that was an official key. it lines up so perfectly with that video. it’s so good. long live @giantbomb.com

It’s fine, no one would ever guess the number 4. Here’s hard evidence: youtu.be/UdtbotWl4T8?...

Context: A certificate authority, an essential part of how your computer knows a response from website-dot-com is the real website-dot-com, was found to be using "4" as a private key. This should never happen and it should be a very big number instead. This is a very bad thing

Its amazing that there was this conspiracy theory that Biden was withholding disaster aid from North Carolina that even people in the larger liberal/left believed in and now this is happening and...its barely news.

BREAKING: Trump's head of FEMA just told states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. The Trump admin's disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own — without federal help.

Use a password manager (not 1pass because they’re racist). Use passkeys when you can. Turn on 2 factor authentication, and be careful about people trying to trick you into revealing the 2fac code. Do the software updates. This will keep you safe for the most part.

This is like the opposite of the “don’t worry kitten” post.

Agreed. Have you ever talked to someone who works at a non-credit union non-top 10 community bank?

I get that a lot of terrible stuff happens in tech but I'm worried that the tech world is becoming a kind of scapegoat used by the American middle class to pretend they're normal and don't also engage in Deep Evil

there were enough usable vulns in latin for julius caesar to stomp a mudhole through all of rome. the remediation was a mess

Latin? Fortran?

if as reported, this might be the worst vuln of my adult life? I'm really glad I'm between jobs right now

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

credit where credit is due: if implemented and effective as described, this actually slaps enormously

Hey does anyone remember when Trump winning a huge majority (narrow plurality) was proof of a paradigm shift in American politics? In a sense, maybe they were right

Mere seconds after Ramaswamy takes the stage in Columbus, an attendee begins yelling at him for his ad with Amy Acton's mother about childhood abuse

We’ve talked enough about our own risk tolerance. It’s time to talk about Russia’s risk tolerance.

"Either Baudrillard’s critics were right, and trillions of dollars are riding on hot air. Or Baudrillard was, and those trillions are riding on a dystopia its builders have mistaken for the promised land — one where the model comes first and the actually existing human beings come, at best, second."

The AI Boom Is Fashionable Nonsense

Jean Baudrillard's critics called his ideas "blithe idiocies." Jensen Huang calls them a business plan — and trillions of dollars are riding on it.

Most of this stuff you cannot even really have discussions about until we all agree it is actually happening, though a lot of people have definitely tried to balance “it’s not happening” with “and it’s terrible, what’s not happening!”

All arguments about AI are not over, to be clear! They are only beginning! Just the basic “is it even a thing that’s happening” argument is clearly over

there’s some discussion in the Bugzilla thread that suggests mishandling of test keys: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi...

for a while this was my canonical explanation that no, the line isn’t about the score, it’s about getting an even distribution of bets

Knicks +4? and Melo is playing? what odds will you give me for Knicks -6

I see people say that at least nu-Clickhole is better than the nu-Onion. And hey I want to believe but they sure are going to the Jews/Israel/pedophile well a little bit here huh?

This Amy Acton ad thing might help expose the reckless stupidity of influencer culture: how little these so-called 'influencers' could be bothered to do the most basic, easy research. Regular people ran circles around them, while they all just blindly regurgitated their fed lines

now that I Have Job, it is increasingly tempting to light on fire the folks who in hindsight (from hearing from my spies on the inside) used interviewing me as free consulting I shall be an adult about it, but also,,,

i mean, i would dress as rabies for halloween if i weren’t already going as a member of WARRIOR CLASS, the galaxy’s only klingon oi band, playing one night only at shanghai tunnel bar on halloween night!

I drink less caffeine (most days) than the FDA recommended limit, actually (I would drink monster if it had no caffeine, I just like the taste)

I believe that "hold your nose and vote for [x]" should be reserved for, say, Louisiana residents having to choose between Edwin Edwards and David Duke for governor voting for an ineffectual and uncharismatic but inoffensive Democratic governor is not that. it simply isn't. get over yourselves
