The exploit’s sophistication and the feature’s obscurity suggest the attackers had advanced technical capabilities

exploiting a vulnerability in an undocumented hardware feature that few if anyone outside of Apple and chip suppliers such as ARM Holdings knew of.

according to Russian officials also infected the iPhones of thousands of people working inside diplomatic missions and embassies in Russia

the devices were infected with full-featured spyware that, among other things, transmitted microphone recordings, photos, geolocation, and other sensitive data to attacker-controlled servers

Sounds like government espionage

puts tinfoil hat on

Oh the irony. Just train it on copyrighted material without a license, like OpenAI did.

He wrote a techno optimist manifesto that reads like a proto fascist manifesto. In fact, he cites Marinetti as an inspiration, who was founder of the futurist movement, and later author of the fascist manifesto and a close supporter of Mussolini, so no surprise I guess. He enforces ideas that this century is just a bad rerun of the previous.

It’s a full time job to answer completely, but from what I know he finances escape fantasies for the rich which they call seasteading. He calls it a libertarian ideal to create these new colonial city states, but what he means is liberty for his ilk from taxes, regulation and societal rules. Meanwhile his brainchild Palantir erodes the rights of the poor people who are left behind through surveillance, military technology and ICE funding. But this is all in line with his ideology, because apartheid “works” in South Africa according to Thiel

He’s a small time capitalist. These guys have society shaping power and wealth

Didn’t Epic lose the fight against Apple? How is Google more of a monopoly than Apple? It is incredibly easy to sideload apps on Android compared to iPhones, and there are multiple dedicated unofficial stores. These verdicts are not coherent at all between them. I understand they are two separate judges, but the law should be the same for all, not at the interpretation of whichever judge you get.

Edit: for future reference, Verge answers this very question here https://www.theverge.com/24003500/epic-v-google-loss-apple-win-fortnite-trial-monopoly

I wouldn’t be surprised if the board is just doing what ChatGPT tells them to.

And the easiest. But even if all animal products were eliminated worldwide tomorrow, it would probably still not be enough for the emissions target. So individual changes do not make a dent in the problem.

Here’s a crazy idea to make your population grow: how about not sending your people to die in a war?

Sounds a lot like the French Revolutionary Calendar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_calendar#Months

I would say the rocket is ready for billionaires who want to beta test it.

I really wish LinkedIn would add an anonymous cringe emoji. I would use it on like 90% of the content on that site.

They should make a discount for every person the self driving software hits. That shit would be basically free.

And use less energy since they don’t have to fight gravity

Time to put your tinfoil hat on and refuse to check any references for yourself.

Of course the community driven, anarchic nature of Wikipedia is a threat to the status quo of capitalists dominating society. Musk can’t stand this, because it shows how ultra wealthy, incompetent dicktators like him are unnecessary.

There is actually a C+, also called “orthodox” C++ https://gist.github.com/bkaradzic/2e39896bc7d8c34e042b

Hey you can’t use Jira, means you can get some real work done

This is fun to play around and basically what Python does under the hood to implement classes. In Python2 it was even more obvious that classes are just fancy wrappers around a dict called, unsurprisingly, __dict__.

class Foo: 
    def __init__(self):
        self.__dict__["instance_method"] = lambda: "instance_method"
        self.__dict__["shadowed_class_method"] = lambda: "shadowed_class_method_from_instance"
        

Foo.__dict__["class_method"] = lambda cls: "class_method"
Foo.__dict__["shadowed_class_method"] = lambda cls: "shadowed_class_method_from_class"

f = Foo()
f.__dict__["dynamic_instance_method"] = lambda: "dynamic_instance_method"

print f.instance_method()
print f.dynamic_instance_method()
print f.class_method()
print f.shadowed_class_method()

OUTPUT:
instance_method
dynamic_instance_method
class_method
shadowed_class_method_from_instance

Note: this won’t work in Python3 because the class.__dict__ becomes immutable at some point after declaring it, but the attribute name resolution stays the same. And it gets more interesting once you throw inheritance into the mix.
