I guess if you famously burn through cash at an insane rate, why not just do it more?

You know what might sell me on a folding smartphone? Not having some bendy hinged screen. Just have 2 "normal" screens like the Nintendo DS, etc did. Demos of one larger bendy screen being slit in half in software to show 2 apps side-by-side just rubs salt in the wound 🤣

Surely the obvious answer is one (or more) of: - They don't care enough to be careful - They don't actually believe in their own hype Neither of which is a glowing endorsement.

The part I haven't heard is who is being held liable. In the past "oops" hasn't really passed muster as a defense against "penetration tests without a prior sign off". I would normally assume whomever ran/prompted the model, but given US laws on corporate rights, etc who knows?!

If only it had been possible to foresee this, or that someone had mentioned something.

JUST IN: Anthropic CEO says Al companies need hundreds of billions in revenue, or they'll go bankrupt.

These CEOs have truly mastered the art of winning over people that dislike/distrust AI with their artful painting of a wonderful future eh?

If I read the headlines correctly NVidia left the consumer market for chips that do games and AI, and are now reentering with an entirely new offering that does AI and games?

3D printer frenz, does anybody use a multi-toolhead printer? Kinda interested in the Snapmaker U1 and Flashforge Creator 5 if anyone has recommendations/counter-recommendations. The Original Prusa XL looks nice too, but it's 5 times the cost :)

I think I'm blanking out here. You know the red string, conspiracy theory, "vision board"... thing? What is the proper name for that board?

How did US people get moved to EllissonTok? Was there an app update, or was it something like DNS getting repointed to the other service?

LinkedIN inviting me, emailing me, and cold calling my personal cell all within 2mins is indeed "triple threat outreach", but not in the way I think you meant it Mr Salesperson.

I almost forgot that between using all the GPUs to create magical math money, and using all the GPUs to make predictive text draw pictures, there was a period where we wanted to use very cold processors to open a wormhole and break crypto or something. Are we still doing that?!

I was looking for a way to summarize my feelings on that article since I read it this morning.... and I think that this covers it nicely.

Luckily absolutely nobody has ever used React and therefore this will have zero impact.

Cool cool cool. Luckily no unhinged people have ever wanted to know the details of the jurors who convicted them, their family, their cult leaders, etc 😳

TIL that the golang sumdb does not use git-lfs when calculating sums for packages. So if a package has a file hosted using git-lfs it will checksum the package using the pointer not the actual file. Which is great when you *do* have git-lfs enabled and so get a different checksum.

Of course being named in documents doesn’t necessarily make you guilty. But preemptively worrying about that so much has "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" vibes.

And now I can't push changes to Github.... presumably us-east-1 will explode in an hour or so.

From: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/... I hope this is a poorly chosen set of words or out of context or something, because one would feel that “a spike in unusual traffic" is kinda core to Cloudflare's services

A Cloudflare spokesperson told Ars that the cloud services provider saw “a spike in unusual traffic to one of Cloudflare’s services,” which “caused some traffic passing through Cloudflare’s network to experience errors.”

Lee Brotherston @synackpse.bsky.social · 18/11/2025

I see non-tech social media has replaced "so what is us-east-1?" with "so what is Cloudflare?"

President and CEOs email address is: benjamin_murray@skyservice.com They claim to care about DEI on their corporate responsibility page: www.skyservice.com/about/corpor... If you are planning to write to them, note that the address is actually Flightline Drive, not Road.

Naive question for my US friends. If the answer to “why did you pardon them?” Is “I don’t know who that is”…. Why is the next logical question not “why did you pardon someone where you don’t know who that is?” ?!

When AI people say that “even we don’t know how it works”, I assume that this is hyperbole, not literal? We know that there’s a runtime (e.g ollama, etc), which is a traditional binary executable compiled from source code. It could have a debugger attached, logging added to the source, etc. [1/3]

Well that explains how the spelling has improved in recent weeks (someone else, at least sometimes, posts for him). Also… the OpSec continues to be strong across the entire administration.

Excuse me Mr Clegg... Napster, The Pirate Bay, Megaupload, etc would like a quick word.

I’m no military opsec specialist, but publicly telegraphing ahead of time when & where all the top brass will be, and by inference where they won’t be, seems…. Flawed. Unless it’s a cunning deception…… 🤣🤣🤣

I know it’s a small qualm in the overall scheme of things, but “written in pen” is not “engraved”

If macOS could not just pan audio 100% to the left on every software update, that'd be nice.

For anyone looking at this, the samples I looked at, while obfuscated, were the same obfuscated code. i.e. not re-obfuscated per package. This little but of laziness means you can (at least could) simply search for chunks of the obfuscated sample to check your own repos.

Had to look up the Cracker Barrel “woke rebrand” to find out what all the upset is about. I…. Am confused. Are they upset that the text looks more black than dark brown, or that there’s no barrel anymore, or…. What?
