It’s a fair question. There’s precedent where malware is embedded in PDFs.

Then someone will write an utility that automatically sets timezone using geoclue location data.

There’s the environmental impact: these ultra-fast planes burn through massive amounts of fuel, releasing far more emissions than regular aircraft

Hypersonic flights are a way to get us to a NON-inhabitable earth faster than ever before.

Consider using the subscription money for another newspaper.

This is why these people ask, among other things, to strictly limit access to adults.

LLM are good with language and can be very convincing characters, especially to children and teenagers, who don’t fully understand how these things work, and who are more vulnerable emotionally.

That’s a good point, but there’s more to this story than a gunshot.

The lawsuit alleges amongst other things this the chatbots are posing are licensed therapist, as real persons, and caused a minor to suffer mental anguish.

A court may consider these accusations and whether the company has any responsibility on everything that happened up to the child’s death, regarless of whether they find the company responsible for the death itself or not.

Does this attack scale linearly with key size?

Using the D-Wave Advantage, we successfully factored a 22-bit RSA integer, demonstrating the potential for quantum machines to tackle cryptographic problems

That attack is a threat only if it scale better than existing attacks.

Update from Brewster Kahle:

Archive.org sub services coming back up when they can, safely. e.g. Email working.

Now contract crawls for National Libraries (important to keep collections whole)

Thank you for the patience. More as it happens. @internetarchive

Testing infrastructure would help for sure, but it’s not necessarily the lack of infra that’s causing trouble.

Linus complains the author didn’t submit the patch to some places for public comments and testing BEFORE requesting a merge.

It sounds like he expects something like

Here’s a mailing list thread asking for feedback and testing. No one complained in a week, could you merge ?

I hope Gimp 3.0 stable will happen before the heat-death of the universe.

Hovering over a checkmark will display a message that explains “Google’s signals suggest that this business is the business that it says it is,” which is determined by things like

I guess this due diligence cost time and money. And doing this due diligence for every ad customer might affect their bottom line.

• You have a malicious actor on your trusted network.
• If so, you have bigger problems.

This is more likely than you think. There’s more computers than you realise on the average network. Many aren’t updated and have vulnerabilities. If there’s one malware on one machine on your network, that means a malicious actor is on your network.

Common exemples :

• Home WiFi network with old unpached router, Android smartphone, network printer, security camera, thermostat, robot vacuum cleaner, smart lightbulb, smart TV, …
• Unsecure WiFi network at the cafe, train station, hotel, … where you connect a laptops that is sometimes used for printing and which has CUPS

Translation: We’re extremely short staffed, so we are shaming our employees into sacrificing their vacation

That sounds promising for anyone with a weak immune system, who is unable to benefit much from vaccines.

This hasn’t gone through clinical trial yet, according to this article, so it’s going to take more time, money, and luck.

NOYB has the right to send a complaint if it think a company infringe upon right to privacy. Mozilla isn’t entitled to special treatment or special notice before filling a complaint.

Mozilla should have expected this. They claim to defend users privacy so they should understand why consent for data collection is important. Also there was public outcry and criticism of opt-out, and yet they haven’t backed down.

If Mozilla resolve these issues, NOYB could ask for the complaint to be dropped. I hope they do resolve this, and do drop the complaint.

Link to other sources are welcome.

I searched for sources and picked this article as it’s both relatively exhaustive, and one of the firsts ones published on this topic.

Better late than never.

Scientists don’t have to explain why they’re leaving twitter. The reasons should be obvious to anyone familiar with Twitter.

Journalists need to explain why they’re still on Twitter, given that platform has so much bots, trolls, hate and lack moderation.

Once the war in Ukraine is over, weaponized drones won’t just vanish. They’re already made by companies with different level of ethics and any country able to pay is or will be able to buy them. Sooner or later, like many weapons, organised crime will get their hands on them, and use them outside of battlefield.

There’s no way to completely prevent it, but we could at least limit damage by regulating the shit out of drones.
