Their entire world view is dictated by their leader. Anything which could contradict or embarrass that leader is a threat.

Every place I’ve ever worked has tried to play cute with security researchers. I’ve never understood it. I’ve always called it out. But I keep fucking running into it!

Honestly not an insane stance for an app repository. LLMs puke out what they ate, and there’s a perfectly reasonable concern that they might not have legal authorization to everything they trained on. I definitely wouldn’t want to get sued for hosting an app that is found to be in violation of a license agreement.

I have written and reviewed a lot of contentious proposals but none of them resulted in bombings. Weird.

Bro you can’t even run a publicly traded company. Don’t even say the word “utility”. Fuck outta here.

They’re certainly making an impressive go of it, but I don’t see anything in their arsenal that’s going to survive sustained attacks.

SPYDER is so comically expensive that resisting long range drones will bankrupt the country, and automated turrets, while much better from a price per kill perspective, simply don’t have the range of other solutions (hundreds of meters at best rather than 40km of SPYDER or 5km of iron dome).

A better solution for the drones in the OP might be the new Rheinmetall platforms with airburst ammunition, but I’m not sure Israel can procure those in the numbers necessary to cover their defenses or infrastructure.

I see them as ways to find content that otherwise wouldn’t be on my radar. I generally don’t let them “talk me out” of seeing something that interests me.

I’ve been wondering about this for a while, but what does it cost to maintain the iron dome when your batteries are depleted and the missiles are on backorder? It’s not like literally anyone else is fielding this equipment, so what happens when the only customer suddenly needs a tall order every week?

Under normal economic conditions, a tamir missile costs about $80k, and a shahed drone costs about $30k (and dropping). These are not normal conditions, and I expect that Israel is going to have spotty coverage in the coming years.

The worst part is that I’m sure Netanyahu and his ilk have priced all this in and agreed that the casualties and long-term dependence on foreign funding and ordnance is a fair trade for the additional territory. I really hope the Israeli people disagree.

Yeahhh history definitely says that being an unpopular US puppet dictator is a good play.

People have been pasting garbage they didn’t internalize for decades. What makes AI extra painful is that we’re learning our peers can be persuaded to do it more often by an obsequious answer that shows the most trivial display of engagement with the inputs.

This is probably the most important image on the Internet.

Yes, but the situation is getting strange.

Our model has always been that the reviewer is responsible for protecting the repository. This led to one IC getting fired for “letting in” a catastrophic bug his teammate generated with Claude.

Ok, how safe haven’t they been? How many were worse than deepwater horizon?

I’m guessing you’ve happily consumed what was given to you on a spoon and accepted that it was representative of the bigger picture.

I grew up an hour from a 1GW reactor that got shut down in part due to “concerned citizens” like yourself. The site it stood on is still periodically checked by the DOE but is now a recreational area. How often do old coal plants do that?

As for “toe,” it’s probably an old-school usage of a verb which is preserved in that phrase, but not carried on otherwise. Making it sound weird, today.

That would make it a fossil word (one of my favorite language quirks)!

It would have cost you nothing to keep this male victim complex horseshit to yourself.

The thing is that waymo did this without decades of training data arriving per day. Tesla is worryingly far behind on the actual self-driving tech from an investor’s perspective.

Acceleration on both cursor and scroll wheel; “natural scrolling” flag affects both touchpad and mouse, and can’t be set per device.

You haven’t really told us what you do with your system, so I wouldn’t expect substantive answers here.

I don’t mind having to fiddle with things and get them working, I enjoy it. It makes me feel like I have actual tech skills when I absolutely do not. But on the device I use for school I just want something that works and I never have to think about.

I had similar expectations when I got a Mac assigned by my work, and was frustrated to learn that 1) the system is a long shot from “always works”, and 2) that making it fit my existing workflows required much more time or a paid solution (for example, fixing mouse behavior required me to trial 4 apps before finding LinearMouse).

I now have an approximation of my preferred environment, but it is honestly a major step down.

I’d be more interested to know if the current demand for drones is even dipping into their reserves. I have my doubts.

Iran has been profitably exporting shahed drones at 20-50k USD for years now. This is a country with a 500B USD GDP that is now engaged in a highly mobilized fight for self-determination; this armchair general says they’d be smart to strategically stockpile and very selectively deploy to draw things out for years if necessary, and that they’re probably in a position to actually do it.
