You can search the vast archive on the .gov site yourself, lol. You know, of the mysterious "files" that nobody will release ...

Sam Altman adverts, off of /.

Are you saying a thesis titillatingly re-titled as Tickling Tinders Fuzzy Bits, would likely qualify as a speedrun invite to a final boss DEFCON talk?

We all saw it coming, but fucking Tinder?

That dogshit wasn't even on the same table with my EyesRUs Bingo card.

It'll be a hell of an eye-opener when the retinal scan database gets cross-referenced with all the whores uniquely confirmed to have 7 accounts, 9 aliases, 4 rosters, and a pair of perpetual born-again-virgin claims.

Please stop imagining what I think. Or my age, I think you got that one wrong too.

We all have problems, live is neither fair nor easy, but if you think your problems or their solutions have anything to do with D.C., your real problems are only worsening from neglect.

They have so much more though. Mabe they've just forgotten.

You mention Orwell, and it troubles me that they cling to 1984 so wrongly. They'll scream about superficialities without realizing that they're embracing Newspeak to do it. They talk about authoritarianism without recognizing how they're creating it. They're lost, hurt, and scared. It troubles me. There are people here that I've come to care about who are definitely just trying to distract themselves from their own pain by tying themselves up in knots over things that have nothing to do with them. Instead of dealing with the pain, they're blaming whatever they see for it, including things that would take the pain away, or that shield them from worse.

And truly evil people, actual authoritarian autocrats, take advantage.

To go a little further out on a tangent - I was watching a video of some "Democratic" Socialists protesting and advocating for Communism. All I could think about was which one would kill the rest if they ever got what they were asking for.

Okay, I think I get what you're saying, and while you're not wrong there are other ways that happens. I know of a couple places developers go to ask each other those sorts of questions, which is basically the same thing, just with asking instead of reviewing someone else's revisions.

Please don't get me wrong, I like open source. I use plenty of open things. I explicitly prefer it in most cases, because I am cheap. I greatly appreciate the hard and largely unpaid work that goes into it. But I had doubts about the claims that it is inherently more secure before AI was involved, and now that AI is, I have serious concerns.

Concerns that will probably be allayed in the near future, when the quality of generated code improves to the point where both offence and defense are equally automated.

Oh, did I get my replies mixed up? I do try not to, but these threads tend to get messy. You seem to have replied to me a number of times, and I'll probably only get to this one. Especially since you're being so dang rude.

No justice system is perfect, but America's is pretty damn good. Oh, and legal representation is not applied to groups, but to individuals, so I don't really follow your point. Are you complaining about a particular class action lawsuit?

What's faster is the AI that found the flaw, checked Shodan (or whatever) for exploitable systems, and took them over while those people were still debugging the fix.

There's also the old cliche about "too many chefs".

When I check bug reports on open-source projects, no matter how many people are reporting things, there are still only a handful of people actually working on them. I suspect that the idea of there being so many people out there checking open-source code is a myth. I'm betting that except for a few major projects, most have a small number of active maintainers and a somewhat larger number of bug reporters. And that some of the major projects still have a very small team, overwhelmed by the number of bug reporters and reports.

Long story short, as much as I like open source (and I do), I think its value and security are greatly overestimated. Right now, I think it's many-eyes security model is actually a serious risk and will be until the defense is as fast as the offence.

What you casually call a GUI "change", I would more call an error/bug in need of correction, long overdue.

How long have the other methods built into Windows, functioned properly in supporting these larger drives again?

Call a spade a spade already. Otherwise, the next Spectre Ping Death Touch Meltdown will be dismissed as a Class-3 Annoyance, because stock price.

Fuck that.

Oh dear. Is there some danger here of an alliance that actually benefits both parties?

Well, that's all they have.

Orwell was very prescient ... though one wishes the Two-Minutes Hate only lasted Two Minutes per day. .

Which rich Democrat are you talking about this time?

lol ... you are literally just parroting the talking points that you have been fed.

You believe what you are told to believe, even if it's insane (e.g. 50%+ of the country are "racists", etc.).
