Definitely agree it’s not an Illuminati cabal meeting in hoods and masks.
But it’s not not that either - there’s lots of overlap on boards of directors and VCs invested in these companies. They’re in the same circles and probably play golf together. Or, they hang out on the tarmac before their Davos keynotes on saving the world.
Some companies end their fiscal year at the end of January, i.e. FY23 ends January 31, 2024.
Ahh, interesting to read about the technique, thanks for the link. For anyone else curious, here’s a TLDR quote:
In 2021, researchers at Germany’s Technical University of Darmstadt reported that they had devised practical ways to crack what Apple calls the identity hashes used to conceal identities while AirDrop determines if a nearby person is in the contacts of another. One of the researchers’ attack methods relies on rainbow tables.
Why would China announce their zero day exploit to the Internet? FUDD.
“You can’t trust those iPhones, only trust Chinese company phones”. – CCP, probably
Great power competition / military industrial complex . AI is a pretty vague term, but practically it could be used to describe drone swarming technology, cyber warfare, etc.
Ahh, that makes sense. I was wondering, “Why the hell are they announcing their zero day to the Internet?”
Ha, I always knew this concept as PEBKAC - problem exists between keyboard and chair.
I’ve used ente on a family plan for the last year and really like it. Although I have the aptitude to run a NAS, the last thing I want to do in my free time is look at a terminal. So for me, ente has been great - pretty plug and play.
Most people have. I was hopeful that the extension on FISA / section 702 would get removed from the NDAA today but it looks like that failed 65-35. I suppose some hope still remains as it works it’s way through the house, and / or the extension ends.
Not holding my breath, though.
I’m pretty sure that Amazon tried to do this with Kindle a few years ago and got sued by book publishers.
Ahh, it was audible.
It’s only a matter of time though before this sort of thing is ruled on and deals are inked. Open source is already getting pretty far too.
Yeah, modern CPU production is incredible and a pet interest of mine lately. I’d highly recommend the Asianometry YT channel if anyone wants to go deep.
Just came to the Iain Banks reference, damn these robots are my people!
Dude, thanks so much for posting this! The first one and the VR version are some of my favorite games ever. I had some bare awareness they were working on this, but forgot and prob would haven’t noticed for a bit. I’ve been kinda burned out gaming-wise lately, TBH.
10 or so hours in and it’s such a perfect sequel. Art design is incredible, and everything from voices to character writing is really good. Great blend of puzzle concepts old and new. I’m enjoying the philosophical nature, like the first one, but find the ideas a little more accessible, at least on their face.
Certainly a monumental piece of art, all said.
I don’t really pirate anymore, but have been using ProtonMail, Proton Calendar and ProtonVPN for a few years on pure privacy grounds, and generally really like it. Their apps have gotten more stable over time and their bona fides are solid (actually fighting against subpoenas, etc).
They are actively improving things like calendar invites and integration in their suite of apps. Between that and ente for photo storage I’ve mostly degoogled myself over the last couple years.
Subnautica! That’s the first (and better) one IMHO. The sequel is Below Zero.
Might be a little scary for a 4 yo - at least it can be that way for this thirty something.
