I work for a company that for years has had a very old-school, terminal style POS. Lots of key shortcuts. Like, black/white text terminal POS.

The folks who learn how to use it well navigate through it faster than the system can process their inputs.

The new system has lots of fancy GUI, but is slower, and the folks used to their shortcuts hate it. But it's so much faster to train people to use.

It's absurd how the propaganda against green energy on certain political spectrums essentially turned into, "It's all money/cash grab for green energy companies!"

As if the established industry has no incentive in the opposite direction? Everyone is going to act in their best interests in this system, that's how it's designed, the whole point of government is to mediate the system in the best interests of the whole.

RE "...how the propaganda against green energy...." One problem is statement are made , that depend on certain definitions , where the definition is not what a reasonable person would expect. Such as statements about costs of renewables. How exactly is the cost of renewables measured.?

I'd have to say there are lots people who do not believe the government is acting in their best interests. Its one of the reasons why Pauline Hanson's "One Nation" party has gained a lot of traction.

>I have to point out stairs aren't typically made like this. That's a really complicated way to do it.

What do you mean? That's exactly how most residential stairs are built. Two to four stringers with risers and thread boards attached to them.

Granted, they will draw a template on one board and copy it to the others to make the stringers quickly well before mounting anything.

>angle bracket on each side to hold up each stair.

You add a serious amount of un needed complexity by using brackets described.

The rise is typically the only thing you need to know in order to calculate all other dimensions of the stairs.

The main difference between how the author describes the construction is stringers get cut, this description skips that step.

Things like tread depth, riser height can be modified too if needed.

>LLMs really aren't that impressive at pentesting

The point is that Mythos apparently is quite capable and has developed novel exploits on its own.

That's the claim, yes. Has any proof been made available yet? (Genuinely asking here because I haven't been paying that close attention.)

You're looking at it incorrectly. LFS is an exercise in learning for the sake of it, and therefore, not a waste of time. This isn't intended to be easy, but to expose and teach you the lowest levels of creating a functioning install.

How many of these scrapers are written by AI by data-science folks who don't remotely care how often they're hitting the sites, and is data they wouldn't even think to give or ask the LLM about?

But does that explain all of the various scrapers doing the same thing across the same set of sites? And again, the sheer bandwidth and CPU time involved should eventually bother the bean counters.

I did think of a couple of possibilities:

- Someone has a software package or list of sites out there that people are using instead of building their own scrapers, so everyone hits the same targets with the same pattern.

- There are a bunch of companies chasing a (real or hoped for) “scraped data” market, perhaps overseas where overhead is lower, and there’s enough excess AI funding sloshing around that they able to scrape everything mindlessly for now. If this is the case then the problem should fix itself as funding gets tighter.

My theory on this one is some serial wantrepreneur came up with a business plan of scraping the archive and feeding it into a LLM to identify some vague opportunity. Then they paid some Fiverr / Upwork kid in India $200 to get the data. The good news is this website and any other can mitigate these things by moving to Cloudflare and it's free.

That presumes you can find someone to agree to those terms (which you won't), and if they do, that it isn't a prohibitively expensive fee (which it would be).

Why wouldn't they?

The license should be to use the likeness for a given purpose. Either make it perpetual or per copy, not per time. Product breaking licenses should not be allowed in most situations.

There are a vast number of scientists in agreement with each other that it is not a nothingburger.

It takes nothing but stark intentional ignorance to make a statement like yours.

It absolutely boggles my mind at the suggestion that green energy is all profit seeking, as if the counterparties in big oil aren't also just as or more interested in maintaining status quo in the opposite direction. Yet I never see someone who expresses ideas like this recognize or acknowledge that.

Will the AI let me make my taskbar vertical again?

Almost certainly some kind of zero click/zero user action RCE exploit.

Edit: I should've read, "Impact: Processing a malicious image file may result in memory corruption."

So simply receiving an image via SMS or loading it in some other way likely accomplishes the initial exploit, so yeah, zero click exploit. Always bad.
