  • Germany’s AfD sparks fears it is helping Russia with inquiry on NATO weaknesses

    Jump

  • This isn't the first time the AfD has asked for information on German defense capabilities and transport routes. In November, similar espionage concerns have already been voiced; back then they had already made 7000 separate inquiries.

    Totally legitimate party with only the best interests of the country at heart. (Well, depending on which country you mean.)

  • I know about pacman, no need to say it a dozen times.

    Jump

  • Eh. Admittedly, my experience with non-rolling distros is old, but I'd rather take "something minor breaks every couple weeks" over "I tried upgrading the system and now I can't even get working shell commands if I chroot over from a live USB".

    Admittedly, that was when I tried upgrading to Fedora Core 5 (or was it upgrading from there?), so ancient history.

  • Infosec community panics as Anthropic rolls out Claude code security checker

    Jump

  • They never said that the dent would be downwards. We're up-denting now. This is moving fast and breaking things brought to the next level.

    With just a bit of effort and a modest 300 billion dollars we can bring critical security issues to levels that make traditional management approaches obsolete, creating a lucrative market for vulnerability report management AI.

  • Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy

    Jump

  • They might get slammed if they're not careful.

  • New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater

    Jump

  • Unless other situations where the established technology wins due to inertia, sodium ion batteries have two benefits that make them interesting regardless:

    Firstly, they are safer. A punctured sodium ion battery doesn't catch fire, which massively simplifies safety design. That makes them very attractive for certain scenarios, especially ones where density is a secondary concern. That in turn means they get further development money instead of withering on the vine.

    Secondly, they require fewer hard-to-obtain materials, which makes them attractive from a strategic perspective. This one should be less important than the safety factor but it's also relevant.

    I'm pretty sure we'll actually see wet sodium cells in the wild if they are actually practical. Sodium ion tech is already being commercialized and if this brings it within the same ballpark as lithium ion then it becomes a very interesting choice for vehicles due to instant crash safety gains.

  • The size of Portugal compared to Spain

    Jump

  • I mean, they're trying. Not very successfully as of late but they are.

  • ‘I think the franchise is dead’: Saints Row design director says IP owner ‘ghosted’ his prequel pitch | VGC

    Jump

  • Eh. They had options. With something as crazy as the Saints Row franchise they dissolve basically done anything.

    For example, have the Saints go back in time to prevent the destruction of Earth, overshoot and end up preventing their own founding. The test of the game consists of them trying to prevent themselves from being erased from existence a la Back to the Future.

    Or, if you want to dial back the craziness, declare the plot of IV to be a movie the Saints produced, which flopped and somehow ended up bankrupting Ultor.

    They had options.

  • I don't know the reason why.

    Jump

  • Because most banana varieties aren't very transport stable.

  • CEO of Mistral AI says warnings about extreme risks of artificial intelligence are often 'distraction tactics'

    Jump

  • If the perceived threat is a model going rogue, nobody pays attention to the model operating as intended.

  • Two sides to every story

    Jump

  • "...you see, it was actually considerably worse and I refuse to keep getting undersold by her like that."

  • "Overproduction" (Art by David Revoy)

    Jump

  • At least the hard drives can be plausibly used. SAS controllers aren't exactly cheap but might be worth it for a home server if a slew of used datacenter HDDs show up on the market.

    Those GPUs are going to be useless, though.

  • You said my activation phrase

    Jump

  • You can see the Rust they added to the kernel.

  • Microsoft Finds “Summarize with AI” Prompts Manipulating Chatbot Recommendations

    Jump

  • But hat would require them to put in actual effort instead of just pushing out a minimum viable product and calling it the next evolutionary stage of computing.

  • AfD Niedersachsen als extremistische Bestrebung eingestuft

    Jump

  • Schon mal gut so. Wenn jetzt mal das Gericht die Klage der AfD gegen das BfV abgewickelt kriegt, damit die auch auf Bundesebene wieder gesichert rechtsextrem sind...

  • How dark web agent spotted bedroom wall clue to rescue girl from abuse

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's what I meant with the bigger picture. They have a valid reason to deny this request but they haven't denied other requests that they really should've.

  • How dark web agent spotted bedroom wall clue to rescue girl from abuse

    Jump

  • I mean, I can see a case for not wanting to play dragnet at a mere request. You don't want any random guy and/or agency to be able to have you to help them track down someone they only have a picture of, no matter how much they pinkie swear they're doing it to protect that person.

    That's getting awfully close to sharing PII. You generally want to see a subpoena for this stuff and with good reason. Meta are, oddly enough, not being actively scummy here. (One can of course argue about all the other times when they don't give a shit; the bigger picture is definitely super scummy. But for this in isolation they actually have a valid reason for their behavior.)

    What might work would be a standardized, streamlined process where the police can ask the company and if the company says the request is reasonable they can apply for an expedited subpoena to allow legal access to the information. Agreement by both would be necessary to give more opportunities for due diligence. This process would also have to have a very limited scope in order to make abuse harder.

  • Things like this made the news several times when Interpol (or was it Europol?) showed pictures on social media and asked if anyone could turn them into information (things like "in which country is this backpack sold").

    When international law enforcement agencies are already openly crowdsourcing image details, an article about a group doing background detail analysis isn't much of a revelation.

  • Italy’s famous Lovers’ Arch collapses into the sea on Valentine’s Day

    Jump

  • Of course it's political. If Caligula hadn't chickened out they wouldn't be in this mess today where water can just airdrop in and demolish the landscape at will. Is that water the sea? No, but conquering the sea would've sent a clear message to water in general.

  • Mine is too coooollddd

    Jump

  • Usually people who have silver cutlery tend to only bring it out when they are entertaining guests. Since semi-formal dinner parties have fallen out of fashion and casual guests don't care about how nice your cutlery is, fancy silverware has basically become irrelevant these days.
