I was basically going to quote your whole statement here and then point to the more than 19 US states that have had Water Treatment plants forced to disconnect much of their Operat…

That's exactly how those things normally work. "Education incentives" at companies can be similar. For instance, maybe they pay for your trip to AWS Re:Invent and a couple of cert …

Yes, by burning fuels we release carbon from the thing being burned, it gets mixed with oxygen, and released into the atmosphere as co2. As the suns energy warms the earth, the ear…

> Passing a law making HF liable for any damage caused by a model they host. There's already legal precedent that prevents this. See the recent Comcast case for example.

When a LLM becomes part of the defense, it also increases the attack surface of the organization in unpredictable ways.

Their artifactory is both a package cache and CVE scanner. The package cache is allowed to download packages directly from npm but other systems in that network won't be able to. B…

> 10TB/month is usually enough, even with bots. My single static webpage with no updates in 3 years is doing that, which is (one of the reasons) how I end up where that site (and m…

Okay but the bots are loose and you have a bandwidth cap on most VPSs. Because you have no CDN, all the bots are coming directly to you. Because that's no CDN or distributed WAF, t…

Build a better service or better technology. If you can't, well then... We're stuck.

My sites run on cloudflare workers and static pages for free

They make some of them, some of them are sold to them, some are traded to them for other things. Mexican Cartels have gotten weapons from Russia before in several ways. This year t…

Did you respond to the wrong comment? The OP is saying they want the state to maintain the monopoly on violence. My counter to that argument is the very existence of the current Af…

> I think a lot of us probably would agree that pornographic content is generally bad for society. Speak for yourself. The science of it seems to be a mixed bag with definite pros …

> Is the Mexican government, with their tens of billions in military spending, actually "powerless" to stop these gangs? I very much doubt it. Then to be blunt, you don't know how …

Laws != morality

That gang has international arms. They have logistics trains. They have industry analysts! Sometimes maybe they have Pay and HR issues. They're a global business with external trad…
