Hot take but XP is only remembered fondly in this community because it was the dominant operating system from 2001 through 2011 on consumer devices that were likely purchased as first or second generation home computers for millenials that are approaching their first 25 year retrospective.

No, it's just nostalgic.

I'll fill in the details for the curious. You receive an email from `usernotice@google.com` with this body:

  Dear Google user,

  Google received and responded to legal process issued by the United States Department of Justice (<FEDERAL DISTRICT>) compelling the release of information related to your Google account. A court order previously prohibited Google from notifying you of the legal process. We are now permitted to disclose the receipt of the legal process to you. The agency reference number or case number on the legal process is <DISTRICT COURT CASE NUMBER>.

In the case of a Federal Grand Jury subpoena, the Government will request a delayed notification of 1 or 2 years to prevent the service provider (i.e. Google) from notifying you. A subpoena only provides generalized records and not content. So things like billing information, login records, etc.. are fair game. The government is required to obtain a search warrant for actual data (i.e. your emails). Typically, Google will not notify you about executed search warrants against your account.

That is not remotely true. An O-1, EB2NIW, or EB1A ranges from $5K-$15K.

This reminds me painfully of when the US disbanded the Iraqi armed forces immediately after the invasion. Such bravado often has unintended consequences.

My company probably spent close to 6 figures overall creating Tesseract 5 custom models for various languages. Surya beats them all and is open source (and quite faster).

Sorry, but no, journalists and researchers have implicit bias.

He will almost certainly pardon his entire family and himself prior to the conclusion of his 2nd term.

What nationality and what is your current status?

I subscribed the day they launched and haven’t regretted it. They have the best tech reporting and your subscription directly supports the journalists.

The value in a service like this is not the prompt, it's the middle layer that correctly formats the target text into the document.

This is pretty boring. Let me know when you drop an implant on their host device and move laterally to other attackers devices or engage in a long-con and get them to travel to a US-extraditable country.

Is there a reason Surya isn’t included?

This looks like an April Fools' joke. GPT-5 hasn't been officially announced by OpenAI, and there's no credible source supporting this claim. Spreading speculative or misleading information, even in jest, just muddies the waters further and makes it harder to find reliable news.

It's a civil suit now, but has most likely been referred to the DOJ and US Attorney's Office for criminal investigation.

Best case scenario for Rippling: within 6 months the Deel board boots out the CFO & CEO. Shortly thereafter, several people involved on the U.S. side (and potentially their Irish spy) will be indicted for criminal violations of the Economic Espionage Act (notably Rippling has sued Deel for violating the Defend Trade Secrets Act, which provides for civil remedies). In their lawsuit, Rippling has classified their Sales and Marketing Strategy as "trade secrets" which is something that Deel will dispute given that marketing is inherently public. How that plays out criminally is another story, but chances are once the FBI digs into the Deel internal messages, they will find incriminating evidence. 1 or 2 of the Deel executives will plead guilty to conspiracy charges and get 1 year and 1 day. Deel, the corporation entity, will enter into a deferred prosecution agreement.

It's buried in the lawsuit, but Deel is implicated in sending payments overseas to Russia ostensibly in violation of international sanctions. In the Biden administration, this would have definitely interested a US Attorney, but not so much in this administration. Whether it has changed Rippling's strategy vis-à-vis best way to hurt Deel is another story. Perhaps they saw the possibility of Deel not facing punishment or press coverage over the Russia sanctions issue precisely because of the administration change and decided to play their other card: a spy.

Best case scenario for Deel: they covered their tracks internally by using auto-deleting Signal and theres no actual evidence of executives dictating what their alleged spy should be doing. They settle the lawsuit for several million dollars and politely apologize to Parker. Maybe there is a countersuit somewhere? Rippling has pursued this aggressively and confidently which hints that maybe there is some level of projection (i.e. they also had a spy in Deel). As for the criminal charges, if it gets to the point of an indictment of a C-level person, they will have lost, so Deel will need to hope someone low level was involved to pin it on.

This is pretty big! Previously most models could accept massive input tokens but would be restricted to 4096 or 8192 output tokens.

You’re significantly underestimating the value of dox-style exploits. Author could have partnered with a black hat vendor who would offer (for example) $25 per lookup. Or they could’ve done bulk scraping of YouTube channels to get emails and sold the dataset.

It requires some legwork but they could’ve seen somewhere in the ballpark of 6 figures over 1 year if the exploit wasn’t patched.

Oh, and if they had no ethics.

Surya is on par with cloud vision offerings.

His criminality is one matter, but the full weight of the Federal Government on him was an entirely separate matter. A federal prosecutor's job is to jail you regardless of whether it is for downloading a file from a server or for trafficking in humans, and they will come at you with the same vigor regardless of the crime. And nothing has changed about that.

Meta would be blogging about this post.

Russian aggression technically started with the Annexation of Crimea in 2014 during President Obama's 2nd term.

While I do think Biden was fairly incompetent as a leader, the strategy adopted was probably the best option given the poor circumstances: wait and see if Ukraine could repel the initial invasion, then fund the resistance to draw Russia into a stalemate.

A severely weakened or dismantled US Military would encourage aggression by China against Taiwan, by North Korea against South Korea, (continued) aggression by Russia against their former Soviet states, and Iran against Israel and Saudi Arabia, leading the planet into a 3rd World War.

The CEOs you identified are all associated with for-profit companies (with the notable exception of OpenAI lol). Investors expect them to "make nice" with the current regime; this is a part of being a CEO of a public company worth billions.

They make up for it with the $1.50 hotdog and drink combo.

Highly recommend it. I reversed an app with o1 Pro Mode and the analysis of the obfuscated C# code matched up accurately with what I eventually discovered by manually reversing.

Super exciting to see an open-source ergonomic wireless keyboard company going public!
