  1. Sorry to necro this, but it's been the case since (at least) 2015 when the DOJ sued MS to access data on an Ireland server

  2. You can't make the argument that it's a small group of bad actors. It's quite a massive group of unrelentingly malicious actors
  3. It clearly says a well regulated militaries is necessary for the security of a free state. You can dither on whether the Constitution establishes a secure state or a free one, but the syllogism is there
  4. Funnily enough, paying attention is all people need to do either.
  5. The absolute least you can do is read the article. It is so frustrating to watch someone cry about being thirsty while water splashes their face
  6. I mean, is doing your own geo blocking actually a blocker for you?
  7. That's a little disingenuous. If i buy a printer and use the ink in the cartridge to reverse engineer a beautiful red, have i stolen something from the printer manufacturer? Especially if they lose business because they no longer have what distinguished them?

    Clean room design is not new (or illegal), but it's always been a form of stealing

  8. It will still come across as scolding and out of touch. It makes a lot of assumptions that a contractor will never have insight into. And because of that, no matter how soft the wording it will always come across as self aggrandizing
  9. I think there's a difference between badgering a Catholic about where his tendencies will lead him (the pope posts them publicly so we already know) and instructing the national law enforcement to write them up as domestic terrorists.
  10. If you want someone to be actually pedantic about it, then no system is ever classified. Knowledge of the system might be classified, the system may be accredited to handle classified data, at some level. The data this system allegedly collects is obviously unclassified and only becomes classified after landing in some data lake.

    Information is classified not anything else. All of that to say, this is one of the many secret computer systems the nsa allegedly has. As the Wikipedia article clearly indicates

  11. How many ships in port charging at a time? Honestly sounds like a good place to stay a few of those micro reactors lockmart claims to have
  12. I don't think it's fair to demand everything be open and then get mad when they open-ness is used. It's an obsessive and harmful double standard.
  13. Looks like a less good version of qwen 30b3a which makes sense bc it is slightly smaller. If they can keep that effiency going into the large one it'll be sick.

    Trinity Large [will be] a 420B parameter model with 13B active parameters. Just perfect for a large Ram pool @ q4.

  14. It is illegal, the only problem is that standing behind you is a rube who will absolutely let his employer use a private phone instead of demanding a company one
  15. Youve made an easily fixed mistake by a replacing reality with a few isolated cases that absurdly were hyped
  16. It shouldn't be a "get the foreigners!" situation. Sure that is a method of solving the symptoms. But what you're really asking for is ... a software bill of materials. Why dont we have that yet? Bc it's cheaper to get ripped off than it is to pay for a bom. Thats the real problem
  17. The unfortunate truth is that this is where we are as a society. It doesn't reflect poorly on them. It reflects well. They're straightshooters. Theyre not afraid to speak candidly (your definition of candid may differ). They inject humor. You may not like it personally, but it doesn't reflects poorly even if it should.

    We're at the tail end of a long decline.

  18. Apple never removed adp, the usg stepped in and came to an agreement with the uk govt.
  19. "High risk" providers will be obligated to "contribute" technologies "to mitigate." Seems like a doublespeak way of saying enforced decryption or enforced backdoors.
  20. They didn't. TG has never defaulted to e2ee and TG refused to provide the non-e2ee data they had. That is refusing to comply with the law.

    You guys hurt your argument so much by straight up lying so you can feel self righteous anger over it
