Adblock the concept, not Adblock the named software browser extension.

People should currently be using ublockorigin as you say.

It turns out that making a machine that is capable of determining the difference between actual legitimate messages and messages pretending to be legitimate is a really difficult problem to solve

This car at least has a somewhat unique look to it unlike the Luce; which looks so powerfully generic that it almost doesn’t matter what other features it has.

My worry is not if it can make great things. That was never going to be possible from a system that cant create original thoughts.

My worry is if it can make art that is “good enough”. If some middle manager eschews hiring an artist for some project and the results that AI spits out are enough that they still profit, that’s where the damage is done.

Ansible is US-owned. Even though it’s open source, Redhat, a US company, is the one that controls its lifecycle.

NixOS is based out of the EU.

the measure is primarily intended to prevent third parties from buying lower-capacity boards, replacing their RAM with cheaper parts of uncertain origin and then reselling the modified hardware as a higher-capacity model. The company argues that such modified boards have not undergone its validation process and could subsequently generate support requests if unstable memory is blamed on the company.

The solution to this decidedly rare problem is authorized resellers, not an arbitrary block on a very technically demanding upgrade.

That’s assuming this is the actual problem though. If the problem is actually “We want to make more money by charging extra for ‘enthusiast models’” then this is the correct tactic to ensure that you aren’t undercut by cheap labor.

It’s kind of a difficult problem to solve.

Effective regulation requires lawmakers to have a solid understanding of the thing being regulated. This is not really feasible with something as complicated and nuanced as “information technology” and it’s how you get especially stupid rules like the ones coming into the 3D printer space to prevent manufacturing ghost gun parts.

Guaranteed, those started from a place of “We all agree that a lower barrier of entry to making firearms is bad. How do we control that?”

Theoretically, this is the purpose of a lobby group. You have someone that is familiar with subject matter to propose sensible regulations to keep the industry honest, but in practice it’s just industry leaders that pay for regulation to choke out competition, or to loosen restrictions to be more predatory.

This is really unfortunate.

I dont think Wadjet has ever published a bad game, although I think this is the first non-point and click adventure they’re involved with.

I’m really curious to see how this game turns out, and this kind of complication means that it being a success is much less likely, even if it deserves it.

Satisfactory was this for me.

While I was going through it, i couldn’t stop thinking about ways to optimize things while I was supposed to be working, and then after work, I’d make all those changes. This went on for a solid month.

I maintain that this should be the default behavior and the AI be opt-in

It usually happens in 2 steps.

First step is that everything gets connected to the LAN and you can only access the PLC network from within the building’s network. Then some time later, management finds out that keeping someone on-call to go out costs a fortune, so they request that access be made so they can make the change from anywhere.

The IT team argues security, but no new hardware can be provisioned and a developing a new process is too hard. Then the magical phrase is uttered: “Just make it work”. So IT punches a hole in the firewall, adds a NAT rule, and job done.

The specific advice they give is to disconnect all PLCs and only access them through a VPN, enable password protection and change the default passwords, and only allow IPs from known engineering laptops and other critical assets.

This is absolutely doable and any IT professional could manage this change. The only barrier that prevented this from happening before is that you need buy-in from someone with access to the purse strings

It is using HTTPS, but all you need to get the full PII dump is a last name and calculable PNR number. No other authentication required.

Now that they’re personally liable for what it outputs, they definitely can. Your boss can’t force you to break the law.

I can understand this to some degree, but I largely disagree.

AI is a tool. The user of the tool should be the one that carries responsibility. I don’t have the stats, but I imagine that most jobs that relied on hand tools suffered more injury when power tools were introduced, but again, it’s up to the person using the tool to use it responsibly.

Granted, thats not a perfect analogy because AI definitely doesn’t present the same marked improvements as power tools, but the responsibility of the user doesn’t change.

I don’t have the patience to switch to alternatives until they make a change that actually affects the usability of the tool.

This is absolutely a red flag though.

Jarczak’s fork crossed the line by injecting falsified identity metadata into its network communication. “In simple terms: it pretended to be the official Bambu Studio client when communicating with our servers.”

If it’s easy enough to get access to your cloud infrastructure by just changing some metadata about the connection, then you really should re-think your authentication systems. If I were to publish the exact model and pinning of the lock on my house, it would be silly of me to be mad that someone used that to make their own keys.

PSA for anyone that might have a PSP sitting in a box somewhere:

Go and check on the battery and make sure it hasn’t turned into a spicy pillow. Out of a sample size of 3 between mine and a couple friends, 2 of 3 were bursting out of the shell and required disposal.

If your PSP battery is still good, look into charging it and playing some PS1 games on the go. It was the best feature of the console.

Could they not also just selectively ban all Utah-based IPs?

People in Utah could still access with a VPN, but never would, because that would be against the law.

This is not a contest to be holier than thou. It’s a numbers game.

EFF stayed on Twitter because it has a larger audience and that means a larger portion of people will see their messaging. In fact, I would argue that the people that are still on Twitter are the ones most in need of seeing those messages. The people that care about what Debian is posting are almost certainly already on Mastadon.
