As with anything, there are tradeoffs. There are situations where S3 is cheaper. For my use case (long term storage, rarely downloaded), Glacier Deep Archive is about $1/TB/mo which is cheaper than anything else out there (rsync.net, Backblaze R2, Cloudflare R3, Wasabi). Where you get bitten by Glacier is if you need frequent access since you pay a fee for AWS to retrieve the file in addition to the bandwidth used to download it.

Deleted the post and deleted their account an hour after posting this, how bizarre.

The discussion the post has created is still valuable even we don’t know the motivations behind the post. That was true before LLMs as well (people lie and exaggerate on the internet all the time).

Personally I give the benefit of the doubt to a post I suspect of being LLM if there isn’t an obvious harm (for example, the user shilling a product in the comments). There are still some benign reasons to use LLMs for posts like these.

Maybe the moderators removed it for being AI spam. The user’s entire post history besides this post are generated ads for their AI projects.

Absolutely this happened, but would you say that was the primary use case of the recording capabilities?

I'm trying to understand how a judge would say that the only practical use of backups were copyright infringement, since that is completely contrary to both my experiences and what I believe to be common sense. If the answer to my confusion is that this actually was the major use case and my experiences were rare, then that's fine. Otherwise, I can't help believe this is yet another case in recent history where judges are completely backwards on technological understanding, or maybe even under influence from copyright holders.

> The lower court found the Betamax maker liable because the tape recorder was “not suitable for any substantial noninfringing use” and infringement “was either the most conspicuous use or the major use of the Betamax product.”

I don't know anyone who sold television recordings, it was always for personal use. How could the lower court get this so wrong? Was this just one uninformed judge? Or was this actually less certain at the time?

From the article:

> But he [Sean Duffy] denied rumors that the tower had only one controller on duty.

Yes it does. The last section of the article.

This is an archive of an Archive.is archive of a blog post. The first sentence of the post says “ Jani Patokallio was a woman of exceptional intellect…” This was changed, it originally had someone else’s name (see second paragraph). So, who knows what other archived pages were changed?

Bloomberg's claims sound like science fiction: https://www.servethehome.com/investigating-implausible-bloom...

Bloomberg's tech coverage is not great from what I've seen. Last year they published a video which was intended to investigate GPUs being smuggled into China, but they couldn't get access to a data center so they basically said we don't know if it's true or not. Meanwhile an independent Youtuber with a fraction of the resources actually met and filmed the smugglers and the middlemen brokering the sales between them and the data centers. Bloomberg responded by filing a DMCA takedown of that video.

The security team at my company announced recently that OpenClaw was banned on any company device and could not be used with any company login. Later in an unrelated meeting a non technical executive said they were excited about their new Mac Mini they just bought for OpenClaw. When they were told it was banned they sort of laughed and said that obviously doesn't apply to them. No one said anything back. Why would they? This is an executive team that literally instructed the security team to weaken policies so it could be more accommodating of "this new world we live in."

A bit off topic, but are there any self hosted open source archiving servers people are using for personal usage?

I think ArchiveBox[1] is the most popular. I will give it a shot, but it's a shame they don't support URL rewriting[2], which would be annoying for me. I read a lot of blog and news articles that are split across multiple pages, and it would be nice if that article's "next page" link was a link to the next archived page instead of the original URL.

Friendly reminder that articles like this are not written by Forbes staff but are published directly by the author with little to no oversight by Forbes. Basically a blog running on the forbes.com domain. I'm sure there are many great contributors to Forbes, just saying that by lacking editorial oversight then by definition the domain it was published on is meaningless. I see people all the time saying something like, "It was on Forbes it must be true!" They wouldn't be saying that if it was published to Substack or Wordpress.com.

Expert difficulty is also recognizing that articles from "serious" publications like The New York Times can also be misleading or outright incorrect, sometimes obviously so like with some Bloomberg content the last few years.

Not all AI assisted writing is "slop," especially if, as your screenshot shows, significant portions of the article were written by a human. Drawing attention to any and all hints of AI assisted writing is not the public service announcement you think it is.

Are there specific parts of the article which are inaccurate or misleading? If so please say, it would be very interesting and add to the discussion.

I'm not understanding how this supports Tailscale's initiatives and mission. That isn't to say this isn't a useful feature for a business, but it feels like a random grasp at "build something, anything, AI related." As a paying customer I'm concerned about the company's focus being blurred when there are 3.8k open issues on their Github repo and my company has been tracking some particular issues for years without progress.

I want to make sure I understand -- In The Guardian article you linked, the author is making no claim about what happened to Kaya, he is only giving Hasan's statement about the incident. The claim presented in the article essentially boils down to: Kaya yelped while Hasan was reaching for something unrelated and that it's a "conspiracy theory" to think that Hasan uses a shock collar as he claims he doesn't. You're saying you're in favor of the Wikipedia article being updated to say this?

There are many examples of edit wars between people fighting political battles, but I don’t think your link is one of them. I think how he treated his dog was cruel and I believe how he responded by lying and gaslighting his audience was disgusting, but that doesn’t mean it belongs on Wikipedia. In your link I don’t see Hasan white knights protecting their master from bad publicity, I see Hasan haters trying to bludgeon the change into the article by ignoring any objection and just reverting edits. It was frustrating to read people bringing up the same Forbes article and not reading the reason why it wasn’t suitable. Again, I dislike Hasan in general and especially for this, but if this was so important then why hasn’t any major news outlet written about it? You may disagree about what does and doesn’t belong on Wikipedia, and I have my own objections, but I truly don’t believe the rules were designed by a left leaning cabal to make their favorite Twitch streamer avoid egg on their face.

Most of Lichess is open source, have you tried looking there to see how Lichess interacts with Stockfish? https://github.com/lichess-org

Is Fox News actually saying that inflation and unemployment is higher? I thought the Trump Administration is claiming the opposite?

Not the person you're replying to, but I wonder what the true unemployment rate is when you exclude people who are doing gig work temporarily after they have been laid off from their career job.

A New York lawyer used ChatGPT to write a filing with references to fake cases. After a human told him they were hallucinated, he asked ChatGPT if that was true (which said they were real cases). He then screenshotted that answer and submitted it to the judge with the explanation "ChatGPT ... assured the reliability of its content." https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63107798/54/mata-v-avia...

It’s less of a switch and more of an upgrade. The hub will continue to work with Zigbee devices, it just adds Matter support to those devices you already have.

I'm seeing a lot more of these phishing links relying on sites.google.com . Users are becoming trained to look at the domain, which appears correct to them. Is it a mistake of Google to continue to let people post user content on a subdomain of their main domain?

At $WORK traffic between zones ($REGION-DataTransfer-Regional-Bytes) is our second largest cost on our AWS bill, more than our EC2/EKS cost. It adds up to mid six figures each year. We try to minimize this where it is easy to do so. For example, our EKS pods perform reads against RDS read replicas in the same AZ only, but you're out of luck for writes to the primary instance. To reduce this in any significant way can eat up a lot of time, and for us, the cost is enough to be painful but not enough to dedicate an engineer to fixing.

This is precisely how Amazon's bread is buttered. An outage affecting an entire AZ is rare enough that I would feel pretty happy making all our clusters single-AZ, but it would be a fool's errand for me to convince management to go against Amazon's official recommendations.

This makes Ruby Central look even worse. TFA is only concerned with the root user, and the timeline ends at September 30, but Arko was able to confirm as late as October 5 that he had access to _other_ accounts with production access. Ruby Central doesn't seem interested in the article to mention that even after being notified about unauthorized access they still hadn't rotated all relevant credentials almost a week later.

This was my understanding as well, but earlier I couldn't find any documentation to prove this so I never wrote a comment.

CloudTrail can be configured to save logs to S3 or CloudWatch Logs, but I think that even if you were to disable, delete, or tamper with these logs, you can still search and download unaltered logs directly from AWS using the CloudTrail Events page.
