I completely agree. I think LLMs may have a role in security posture, specifically flagging/identifying potential threats for human review . But a Zero Trust/Access Controls should…

What does copyright have to do with anything? You also cannot copyright an encryption algorithm , but the US Government banned essentially mathematics for YEARS[0]. [0] https://en.…

I've looked into this extensively in the US, and there are three headaches from my POV: 1. Most states require special device certification by a "nationally recognized authority" t…

> US real median household income has been steadily rising[1] for the last 40+ years. Compare it to the Consumer Price Index: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CUUR0000SA0R

And they've provided no technical explanation of how... This may be an odd reference, but I remember this song and dance with Roomba Vs. Roborock. "Roborock stole our IP!!!" but th…

Right; but THAT idea is consumer hostile by design. So your account is now tied to a physical device; great, but the device is dead, or you own a dozen devices, now what? Each vend…

> There is no need or advantage to a full frontal assault. Perhaps, but in the last year China did build these: https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2025/03/stairway-to-tai...

Then most of us would never use it. That means either: - Only one specific device can ever login (bad). - It doesn't limit login to one specific device, therefore it does nothing. …

Less work today or less work tomorrow? The problem with "someone makes a request, code changes happen automatically, and all someone else has to do for that to be committed is mash…

I suspect they're ignoring that debate since they have reason to anticipate a US Government action that allows them to not need to compete in a free market.

That has been my experience too. It will cost you more than it saves to use smaller Chinese models to code; because of the repeated work. That has been slowly changing recently, bu…

You're much more "glass half full" than me, but one can dream.

That's great, thank you. What's frustrating about that is that Microsoft has also gone out of their way to make it difficult to access the [legacy] System Properties (sysdm.cpl), w…

> The graph is not presenting a narrative, did you mean to reply to someone else who is presenting the "revisionist history"? The title of this thread is "What AI did to stackoverf…

ChatGPT was released in Nov 2022, and frankly wasn't very good originally. The SO decline started occurring almost two years ahead of that, and was already on a sharp decline befor…

The monitor itself isn't installing anything, Windows detects the device by unique ID, and uses Windows Update to get the driver which itself triggers a Windows Store application (…

Worth noting that gpedit.msc isn't included in Windows Home editions (although there are unsupported ways of adding it). This is also technically asking a lot for working around is…

I'd agree it is similar to Anthropic's naming scheme, which I'd argue shares the same problems as this. It improves marketability/googlability, but decreases actual comprehension. …

> When do you use GPT-5.6-Max-Low vs. GPT-5.6-Plus High? You don't, because that isn't something I proposed using for model naming. I called them GPT-5.6-Max, GPT-5.6-Plus, and GPT…

That isn't what "genuinely asking" looks like, you're criticizing using "questions" as cover. It isn't subtle, nor is it constructive. I agree with them, Sol, Terra, and Luna are c…

I too found this with their previous attempts. I have my Chat personality settings stripped right down to no-fluff. I'd want voice to be more akin to the Star Trek computer, and le…

Blizzard is such a shell now, that I doubt we'd notice.

I consider reasoning to be a huge quality differentiator particularly for complex questions/medium+ length discussions. Low-Thinking/non-Thinking absolutely has a place, but not in…

That edge case is certainly their official excuse. Ultimately to determine the underlying root-cause you'd still need to dig this same information out, and all they've done is move…

For most here, I don't think this article contains new information. The actual interesting discussion, to me, is why Microsoft won't show WHO is dangling the handle open when the u…
