I try to post as sincerely as possible.

  • What file systems are you using on your devices and why?

  • ..and that's why Oracle fucked up the licensing on it. We are not allowed to have nice things.

  • So would I. I'm really curious about how well it works.

  • Servers - btrfs. Fewer layers of abstraction, easier to manipulate.

    Laptops - ext4. I don't do anything weird with the onboard storage, plus it supports fscrypt.

    Flash drives - exFAT. I usually need to access them on multiple platforms and exFAT is about as cross-platform as VFAT (but supports bigger files).

  • Palantir partners with Microsoft to sell AI to the government

  • Palantir partners with Microsoft to sell AI to the government

  • The only interesting thing here is that they're partnering with Microsoft. Palantir has been a government contractor since the very beginning. Maybe - maybe - they've got their workflows standardized by now (before every single thing they did was a bespoke engineering effort).

    If the article is serious about the TS classification (and not just saying "top secret" to get the idea that it's classified at some level across to the civilian reader) it means they're re-engineering something to work in the TS side of Azure Classified Cloud and possibly making it available on JWICS.

  • 0.0.0.0 Day - 18 Yr Old Vulnerability Let Attackers Bypass All Browser Security

    Jump

  • Okay, I see where I went wrong. Thank you.

    I don't think 0.0.0.0 works for broadcasts anymore, either - I think those get filtered by default these days.

  • AI works better if you ask it to be a Star Trek character

    Jump

  • I think that's to slow down copyright bots.

  • It’s practically impossible to run a big AI company ethically: Anthropic was supposed to be the good guy. It can’t be — unless government changes the incentives in the industry.

    Jump

  • Ethics out here are kind of a joke in general.

  • Everybody who could explain it well is at Hacker Summer Camp right now.

  • I'm inclined to agree. This looks like a misunderstanding of RFC 5735.

  • Elon Musk moves X out of San Francisco. City leaders shrug.

  • It's even nicer than the Financial District.

  • I'm not sure if that'll be good or bad.

  • Word's getting around.

  • Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse” that requires a subscription

    Jump

  • Nobody tell them that generic mouse drivers are part of every USB driver devkit.

  • US senators claim car makers sold driver data for pennies

    Jump

  • They have stuff going on that would wind up in the data sold and are moving to cover their butts?

    (It's DC. There's always "stuff going on.")

  • Project Liberty

    Jump

  • Can confirm. I consulted there a few times.

    Oh, and the kids of very wealthy people.

  • Project Liberty

    Jump

  • Billionaires won’t save us, or did we learn nothing from Elon Musk?

    Folks have not learned anything.

    I just had a thought: How long do you think it'll take for oligarchs to start using current online sentiment manipulation techniques to get people away from distributed, non-profit media back onto the latest incarnation of traditional services?

  • A new tool for copyright holders can show if their work is in AI training data

    Jump

  • Thing is, how well is it really going to work? How much is it going to cost to sue one of these companies? Because they certainly have legal representation on speed dial, and way more money available than any of us.
