Livingston, a young staffer who describes his job on LinkedIn as, simply, “creating shareholder value,” noted that an AI tribunal would attempt to “adjudicate a determination of truth,” and that the announced outcome “will also affect your Honor Index score, a measure of the veracity of your published work.” He went on, adding, “You can argue your side by uploading your evidence and suggesting your interpretation of the allegation.”

Remote attestation is a heavily underdiscussed threat to computing freedom. People often mistakenly dismiss it with "I will run my own fork (of the OS or browser) / Magisk", not understanding that with hardware attestation, you're literally unable to 1/
Remote attestation explained with wojaks.
A bunch of normies' computers/phones are sending a cryptographic proof that their hardware+software is FAANG-approved and signed.

So the cloud service returns the content they're asking for.

A fourth wojak is unable to provide such cryptographic proof (because he runs non-FAANG-approved local software), and gets denied access

Deepfakes are everywhere, but digital forensics investigators are fighting back. Learn more: scim.ag/42dMPBg
To verify images, digital forensics investigators will often check whether the geometry of the scene is realistic. In a real photo, lines that run parallel in reality—like floor tiles—should meet at a single vanishing point. In this image, however, the dotted lines do not meet in a single point, indicating it is a fake.
Image: an AI-generated image of soldiers marching down a hallway in three lines, wearing fatigues and carrying rifles. Four dotted white lines have been added over the image, running along the floor tiles visible in the foreground and extending back to where the vanishing point should be, behind the soldiers. Instead of meeting in a single point, the lines all cross at different points.Investigators also examine reflections. The lines connecting points on an object to matching points in its mirror image run parallel in reality, so similarly should meet at a vanishing point. In this image, the lines again do not converge on one point, revealing it to be a fake.
Image: An AI-generated image of a plastic cartoon dinosaur toy with its reflection visible in a small mirror. Four dotted white lines are layered over the image, connecting points on the toy with the same points on its reflection: the top of its eye, the end of its jaw, its hand, and its foot. The lines extend out to the side of the image, where they all cross at different points rather than meeting at a single point.Shadows can be a giveaway, too. Because the Sun is so far away, its rays are essentially parallel when they reach Earth's surface. That means that the lines connecting points on an object to the shadows they cast in sunlight should also intersect at a vanishing point. In this Al-generated image, that is clearly not the case.
Image: An AI-generated image of colorful, semi-transparent plastic cubes arranged in a group in a city plaza. Six dotted white lines are layered over the image, connecting corners of several cubes with the corresponding corners in their shadows. The lines extend upward off the edge of the image, toward where a vanishing point should be. Three of them converge on roughly the same point, but two extend further, and one cuts across all the others at an angle.

Time Dilation kind of makes the whole “datacenters in space” idea more fun.

 Technically… a GPS Block III CPU runs an extra ~7,000 clock cycles per day compared to the same machine on earth.

 Extend to the extreme, and you get the whole subfield of CS+physics called relativistic hypercompuation.

I'm excited to soon be out of an IT job working fast-food, watching the world burn from vibe-coded kernel updates, making rooms worth of burgers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=beZA...
Remember six months ago when the entire world shut down for a day because microsoft windows had an oopsie and everything crashed? 

I remember. Because on that day, I made 600 sandwiches. Because the local airport had 10,000 people stranded unable to get on their next flight, Delta airlines needed to feed them, and spent $30,000 buying lunch. It was the biggest order the local sub sandwich chain has ever had. We called in all the employees on their days off. We had to split the order between every shop in the state. We didn't just run out of baked bread, we ran out of the frozen dough. We had to turn away all the other customers, there were NO ingredients for sandwiches. We cleared off the computer desk in the back to make more space for sandwiches. It was apocalyptic. 

Then Delta airlines called back. And ordered dinner.

What if Bluesky was Windows XP.
A Bluesky social media client designed to resemble Windows XP, shown on a desktop with the classic green-hill wallpaper and overlapping blue title-bar windows. The interface includes a left navigation panel for “Home Timeline,” “New Post,” “Messages,” “Find Posts,” “People Finder,” “Notifications,” “My Profile,” and “My Likes,” plus open windows for searching posts, viewing notifications, reading a timeline, and composing a new post. The “Find Posts” window searches for “black cat” and shows cat-photo posts with “Reply,” “Repost,” “Quote,” and “Like” buttons, while the “New Post” composer has buttons for “Insert Picture,” “Insert Video,” and “GIF” above a blank text box reading “What’s happening in the atmosphere?” The whole screen combines Bluesky-style social posting features with nostalgic Windows XP visual design.
