This beast killed my dad, and I can’t wait to celebrate the day human ingenuity will finally eradicate it.

It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

Once more for the people in the back: LAUNCH COSTS ARE THE LEAST OF IT. That’s an economic and capacity problem that might be overcome. The actual problem is HEAT, because that is a challenge in space due to the laws of physics. Why is this even a discussion? What’s the advantage?!

Also students grow up fast :) But then again, you had very little to learn even back in the days, so I am not surprised. Great job!

The New York Times Got Played By A Telehealth Scam And Called It The Future Of AI

Since the New York Times published its semi-viral big profile of Medvi last week — the "AI-powered" telehealth startup that it breathlessly described as a "$1.8 billion company" supposedly run by just two brothers —…

Your leadership and example has inspired people throughout the world; it certainly inspired me! Well deserved and ad maiora!

Mater semper certa, ma in questo caso specifico dubbi non ce ne sarebbero stati comunque

A Secure Chat App’s Encryption Is So Bad It Is ‘Meaningless’ TeleGuard is an app downloaded more a million times that markets itself as a secure way to chat. The app uploads users’ private keys to the company’s server, and makes decryption of messages trivial.

This is insane: TeleGuard, a 'secure' chat app downloaded more than a million times, uploads users' private keys, meaning the company can decrypt messages. And anyone can get anyone else's private key by just sending the user ID to the API. Possibly worst ever www.404media.co/a-secure-cha...

OpenAI Will Shut Down Sora Video Platform; Disney Drops Plans for $1 Billion Investment OpenAI is planning to discontinue Sora, the generative-AI video creation platform it launched in late 2024. Disney has ended its partnership for Sora.

It’s incredible how quickly OpenAI’s fortunes have shifted. Disney was willing to invest $1B and allow Disney characters to be used to create AI slop videos in Sora just a few months ago.

Now both the deal and Sora are dead. Life comes at you fast.

The Great AI Washing and the Mere Idea of AI - Perilous Tech The cool thing right now seems to be to tell the world you are reducing headcount because of AI, regardless of the reason. Although not a recent development,

People are losing their jobs to AI, not because of its capabilities, but because of the mere idea of AI. Companies that AI-wash layoffs see short-term gains, but these may translate into long-term losses. Let the great AI washing begin. perilous.tech/the-great-ai...

Nothing in comparison to the money they will burn on misguided “AI” research…

Oh. Who could have possibly predicted this? Except anyone who had already witnessed several failed attempts at the same type of interface including Second Life, of course.

I'm so tired of correcting quantum computing misconceptions

Not medical advice but from personal and friends and family experience: a CPAP treats the symptoms. However, a specialist, through an exam called sleep endoscopy, can usually identify underlying causes that can be corrected with “bites” and/or small surgery.

The real problem here (as any engineer can tell you) is that "signing off on AI assisted changes" is not trivial.

You're effectively having to do a review of something you know was written by a toddler. "Looks right at surface level" is a far cry from "is correct."
