I fucking love Saddam Hussein’s Hiding Place.

You really never know where it will pop up next.

Patent rights? You gotta be kidding me. The hell did they patent? Throwing a ball?

Our man-hours come from leadership and architects so separated from code they can’t agree on drawings or what constitutes a micro service architecture or… Any real pattern at all.

Something I don’t get paid enough to understand - what constitutes contributions, and what’s the definition of selling the software?

For instance, I don’t think I’ve worked on a project where we have made changes to the source code for security policies (much quicker path to update immediately if something gets flagged). But I don’t think I know of an instance where we sell our software as a service - as far as I know it’s largely used to support other services we sell.

Except now that I say that, that’s not entirely true, we DO have a review board that we have to submit every third party library to and it takes forever to hear back but we have occasionally gotten a “no can’t use that” or “contract is pending.” So maybe I’m just super unaware of who reviews the third party software and they review the licenses.

Aww look he’s smiling. He’s trying his best to be friendly. He probably knows the Forest quite well and probably would appreciate it if you turned off the blinding light

try finger, penguin?

Fair. Thanks for that counterpoint.

Yes. And time.

We make a lot more money by testing in production, and let the users tell us what’s wrong. It’s much faster.

That’s… Not great. I didn’t actually think about what all these wild AV systems could do, but that’s incredibly broad access.

Maybe I’m just old, but it always strikes me as odd that you’d spend so much money on that much intrusive power that on a good day slows your machines down and on a bad day this happens.

I get that Users are stupid. But maybe you shouldn’t let users install anything. And maybe your machines shouldn’t have access to things that can give them malware. Some times, you don’t need everything connected to a network.

That’s the impressive part of all this. Microsoft didn’t do it. CloudStrike did it.

Microsoft left something in a state that allowed CloudStrike to fuck up enough to brick systems.

It’s why we spend a lot of time reviewing security analysis of our own software - if there’s a way to fuck everything up, it better not because we enabled it to get fucked.

I’m starting to wonder if the trolls are actually trolls that through selective breeding started to look more human like over time

Ok so, as a native English speaker, let me inform you, that whatever you think is a rule in English, isn’t. It’s a guideline. It’s a hard language because we lack structure. The native teachers are teaching you the basic guidelines, not actual conversational English, which varies heavily on location, and social group.

So it’s more to poison search results to stifle Linux adoption

Watch. It will end up being Alec Baldwin.

Elon Musk saw the shitter episode of South Park, and was inspired by it. He hatched a plan. He needed a company working on brain computer interface technology, and Twitter to get renamed shitter. Nuerolink was easy to find, but Shitter was troublesome. He bought twitter, then in what only could be called by Elon Musk some sort of brilliance, thought he could tank the sites reputation so hard and give it a stupid brand that people would roll their eyes and switch to calling it “shitter.”

Once that had taken place, he would be able to develop the technology, and finally release a platform that gave anyone the ability to publicly broadcast all their thoughts without a filter. And he would be loved for it

fair. I guess I haven’t dated anyone other than my ex wife so… I guess I really shouldn’t jump to these conclusions.

Believe it or not? This is avoidant attachment style.

Like literal fucking definition.

… I didn’t but I guess I could start?

Right? Once the model and training methods are published in some journal, the only barrier becomes the hardware to use it.

Which, given like stable diffusion etc, is really a matter of VRAM. Have enough of that, and this should be possible

There are a lot of things doctors record in evaluations, and they feed these AIs this information and instead of these AIs spitting out a “diagnosis” they calculate risk of harm vs risk of further investigation.

In things like pediatrics, this reduces the need for unpleasant and dangerous procedures - a CT scan impacts a 6 year old way more than a 30 year old.

AI is extremely useful for problem domains with a ton of input, medicine being one. Doctors can only do so much and rely on algorithms just like the AI does. The AI has the benefit of being able to do it a fuckload faster, more accurately, and compare it to more relevant things.

Don’t confuse it with generative AI. this is a very different system than that.

Holy shit I didn’t even think about that.

Essentially the model is compressing the image into a prompt.

Instead of the bitmap being 8MB being condensed down into whatever the jpeg equivalent is, it’s still more than a text file with that exact prompt that gave.
