    Then they should be even easier to shut down if they're viewed as a wasteful use of water! I think the fact that they are not shut down is evidence that people do not in fact view …

    Yeah, those might be some of the other factors. My point is just that actual water use does not explain datacenter pushback well, despite being a predominant argument against them.…

    It's indeed thought to be really hard to factor multiples of two massive primes, but we don't know that for certain. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_factorization -- "Uns…

    Then why is no one eminent domaining golf courses? Clearly there are other factors at play here

    The oversight in your thinking is that we have no proofs about how much computation is needed to break cryptography. For all we know, it could be possible to break all modern crypt…

    I don't think PoW scales, because if the bot authors get serious they'll start using native implementations that are much more efficient than the web ones real users are running. I…

    I might be missing something here, but why do you assume this spike in CVEs is from bad guys? I would assume it's at least largely good guys finding and reporting vulns, not based …

    I'm not sure if the parent comment was written by AI or not (you're probably right) but consistency is indeed one of the main things I think about with Android Auto. Not just consi…

    No, he specifically gave a proprietary OpenAI model as an example (unless you meant OpenAI models instead of open source models)

    They have a similar command for the Arch Linux forum, where beginners are encouraged to ask questions

    Maybe you don't drive into flood waters, but your Uber driver might, and that's what Waymo is trying to replace, not your personal driving. In that context I think comparing it to …

    You're probably right, but that seems like the less important part of this. At that point you've already got an out-of-bounds write. Another comment speculated that you could use P…

    "static analysis" is usually deterministic rules you can e.g. put in CI. AI is also somewhat dynamic in that it can execute commands to try stuff out. The best AI vuln finding harn…

    If static analysis could actually find these issues with a reasonable false positive rate, the companies behind them would be running them on Linux to get the publicity of having f…

    No, you can grant yourself this inside an unprivileged user namespace. `unshare -Ur capsh --print` lists the capabilities inside a user namespace and demonstrates that it has both …

    It's not like Costco told them that. Buying something because a third party misinformed you (or in this case, was only temporarily right) doesn't invalidate the transaction.

    Yes, but very few people are actually doing that compared to OpenClaw. If everyone else was doing that, they'd be cracking down on it too.

    Why do you think it doesn't have understanding of semantics? I think that was one of the first things to fall to LLMs, as even early models interpreted the word "crashed" different…

    Why not? They're definitely not perfect security boundaries, but neither are VMs. I think containers provide a reasonable security/usability tradeoff for a lot of use cases includi…
