Both attacks use a small piece of hardware, known as an interposer, that sits between CPU silicon and the memory module.

Yeah, I got bad news, if someone is able to get access to your hardware for long enough to install an interposer AND get it to work (the signal integrity engineering at modern RAM speeds borders on magic, and an interposer throws God* only knows how many nanohenries of mutual inductance wrenches into the machinery), they've got time to do a LOT of things.

*and by God I mean the million-dollar FDTD simulation engines

People love to imagine that Hitler was some kind of tricky super genius that fooled everyone before doing the horrible things. Because they really do not like what the truth says about people: Hitler did not seize power through tricking everyone, he was able to seize power because enough people wanted a Hitler in power.

It's the same situation with the Orange Pedophile: People want to believe there must be some conspiracy around him, because the alternative - there are enough degraded, horrible people to elect such an absolute monster to the Presidency not once but twice - says some extremely ugly things about America.

There's definitely not "no way," but the CCP is almost bottomlessly willing to pour their money down the drain to destroy (via subsidizing Chinese production that competitors cannot possibly compete with in an otherwise competitive market) economic competition in chosen markets.

You think you're going to bring a new supply of rare earths to market? Watch the supply from China suddenly flood the market, crash the price and make your mine a money loser for as long as it takes for you to go under. You think you're going to fab solar panels? LOL. You think you're going to introduce a new cheap battery that doesn't rely on the rare earths from China? ...

Yeah, it's hard enough to get a significant fraction of drivers to pay anything resembling proper attention when they know full well they have to do 100% of the driving. Telling them the car can 98% drive itself and expecting them to still pay enough attention to do anything that will help when an oh-shit happens, as opposed to grabbing the wheel in a panic and overturning? Oh good lord.

How is it even POSSIBLE to have cruise control not work properly? This has literally been a solved problem for decades now. Literally the only thing you need is a second throttle cable, a servo to pull on it, and a $2 microcontroller that runs the PID loop to control the servo.

Or am I to gather that it has now been "innovated" into a spectacularly complex fuckaroo that doesn't work with a shit by comparison?

Objective reality has a well known liberal bias.

Remember when machines were going to do all of the hard, dirty, dangerous work and free people to learn, do science and create art?

Instead the corporatists are determined to use AI to fire everyone whose job is more than minimum wage with no benefits (except the C suite of course), while grudgingly paying the humans they hate to do jobs AI can't do yet. Now listen to this latest collection of AI slop while you stand out in the sun directing traffic past the construction zone on a summer day.

I mean, if we're going to talk about what's legal, PedoPresident's entire thing of "I HEREBY DECLARE MOAR TARIFFS" is plainly illegal right on its face because Article I section 8 of the Constitution explicitly gives to Congress the power to "lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises." Even his presence on the ballot was illegal because insurrectionist traitors are not allowed to hold any office in the United States.

Neither this nor any of the other crimes he's committed / is committing right now / will commit matter because the Roberts Kangaroo Court's majority have made it very clear that they don't give a damn what the law is or was intended to be by the founders.

TL;DR: "We've ran out of good, curated data a long time ago and we switched to the 'SHOVEL ALL THAT SHIT INTO THERE' approach and now our LLM is full of shit."

Not to mention that that we now have an effective vaccine against HPV, which by preventing HPV reduces the risk of cervical cancer something like 90% and so it's de facto an anti-cancer vaccine... and the lunatic right actively oppose it because it will make teenage girls have sex (or more specifically, because it prevents them from being able to blackmail women with threats of "consequences")..

pro tip, dipshits: of all the things that might possibly dissuade a hormonal teenager from fucking, "the possibility of getting cancer in 50 years" is so far down the list that it would take you 50 years to flip through the pages to get there.

Before the television and the radio were invented, it was called Yellow Journalism.

The difference between the 1990s and the Social Cancer era however, is the existence of gatekeeping.

When one needed a printing press or a television studio in order to access 1-to-many media, someone - generally speaking, someone with at least some iota of human decency and sanity - had to make the decision to hand you the megaphone. Nobody at a television studio was going to hand a microphone to a fucking Nazi. With the one incredibly unfortunate exception of Jenny McCarthy, nobody was handing microphones to anti-vax plague rats.

With Social Cancer, the gate is gone. Every anti vaxxer, flat earth fucktard, and Nazi now has access to a megaphone. And thanks to the Social Cancer Algorithm, you (meaning all us decent people) cannot win: If you say nothing, stupidity and evil go unopposed. If you fight back, you're giving the toxic garbage engagement and the Social Cancer Algorithm says "oh look, MechaHitler1488 got a ton of engagement from that post saying Jews faked the Holocaust, let's recommend it to more people!"

Was gatekeeping the best possible solution? Probably not. Can I easily name a better one? Not necessarily, I admit.

Is handing everyone a megaphone that actively empowers the worst people among us the answer? No. HELL no.

Por que no los dos?

We know for a plain jane fact that Russia has been waging an info-war against the west, attempting to divide both left and right parties and supporting the extremes within both, since 2013 at a minimum. China runs a lower-key effort, mainly focused on keeping America from paying too much attention to China.

Given the number of rich pedophiles involved in Epstein's sordid rape island, is there really any doubt that someone - some Trumpist, some MI5er prodded or blackmailed by Prince Andrew, or God knows how many others - would pay for a disinformation war to muddy the waters?

We already know that half the loudest MAGAtards on the Internet are bots - either Russian or Trump's own people.

Instead of using his vast wealth to experience all the beautiful things in life that it gives him access to, Elon Musk is bizzarely obsessed with being liked by internet weirdos. The idea that he would pay to have someone to have a HitlerBot say nice things about him is both entirely plausible and wouldn't even be close to the worst he's guilty of.

And that's just like the most stand-out obvious ones that instantly come to mind.

"Very credible allegations" which changed multiple times as Biden provided alibis for the last one, made by a person who was found to have committed fraud previously. Allegations which just miraculously happened to be almost exactly what Trump was in court over regarding his rape of E Jean Carroll.

Yes, very very credible.

Fortunately, there is absolutely no evidence that we are approaching a tipping point where increasing global temperatures cause blowout releases of methane from clathrates on the shallow ocean floors, so this is no concern of anyone's. Keep consuming, citizen.

On another note: Part of the reason that the K-T event was so catastrophic was that the asteroid landed on carbonate rocks on top of a vast coal bed. So once the atmosphere cleared, the world almost instantly swung from nuclear winter to global warming from hell. It's probably one of the only times it saw warming occurring faster than humans are driving it now.

Powell and Rice are not "said to have done so," they are perfectly well known to have done so. There was no legal problem with it then. Hillary operated her own mail server at their suggestion. And there was no legal problem with her doing so at the time she started to either.

A suggestion that was not made out of malice, it was just one SecState telling the next "The government's official MX services are regularly a 50/50 shot at working, and we have communications that cannot fail to go through or be delayed, so you need an MX that you know works."
