CodeWriter23··on Micron CEO Says Memory Supply Will Be Much Tighter in 2027 and 2028 Than in 2026
Micron started as the outsider busting in during a past RAM crunch. They more than any manufacturer should understand this.

Didn't Micron make it big by busting in with supply when the market leaders tried to leverage scarcity into profit?
CodeWriter23··on FTC is investigating OpenAI, Anthropic and other AI companies over product risks
Looks like their "Oops! we can't control our dog" PR campaign has backfired.

> This is a problem because “SI” is also a classification marking.

They can just make up another name to redefine this classification which people are already used to. How about SIBISI? This follows the transformation they instituted a'la kilobyte -> kibibyte.

> i am unaware of any case where someone was convicted of first degree murder from a drunk driving accident

Use an LLM, the cases are rare but real. Also, not limited to drunk driving. People beat and shoot each other too.

Drunk individuals are not universally allowed to cry they were negligent due to impairment when charged (rarely) with first degree murder. There is a line between intent and negligence that puts acts over the line to intent if intentional acts led to a harmful incident.

I doubt it is difficult to prove intent on the part of various frontier labs to create a PR campaign to goad the government into defending their non-existent moat around their products. Squeeze one disgruntled employee or another.

Not a lawyer but I think training a model with hacking skills they explicitly prevent the public from accessing without doing anything to stop the model itself from using those demonstrates intent.

Which administration made the deal with Anthropic?

Yeah, the DoD read the clickwrapped contract. GTFO

Anthropic's policies are literally the supply chain risk.

The DoD could have used the same authority to seize the technology if it wanted to. Especially in a time of war. DoD has instead chosen to respect Antrhopic's boundaries and has simply barred anyone in the agency from buying a product that comes with strings attached.

This is 100% on Anthropic for product:market fit failure.

The DoD is empowered to determine its own supply chain risks by...wait for it...legislation.

Do you think OpenAI's terms for the DoD are published on a website? Pretty sure when Anthropic got zapped, OpenAI sent DoD a memo 500ms later saying they wouldn't restrict use.

Look at it pragmatically. What does the DoD use every single procurement for? Hint: military use.

Yeah. Arson-induced insurance fraud. Hope this helps.

This is the problem with governments who think they can synthesize value. They think all businesses can too.

If these communists succeed, they will use the very fact that a landlord cannot synthesize money to prove the landlord passed the cost to the tenant and seize the land.

CodeWriter23··on I don't like passkeys
Ok, thanks for the explanation covering everything except the topic of my comment. And yes, I was aware. The point is, nobody (except those with a condescending PhD tone of voice) is aware of the loophole inherent in synchronizing passkeys.
CodeWriter23··on I don't like passkeys
Nah, it's the transmission of the keys to Apple or Microsoft. We flatly rejected key escrow during the Clinton Administration, and I continue to reject it. And no, I absolutely do not trust their implementation of E2EE to mean there are no backdoors.

The SIR-C/X-SAR was launched in the Shuttle Bay and used to map the entire surface of The Earth. Some would call that a munition. This article, following that event IS the confirmation.
