Of those that do have SPF RRs (most), curious to see if any have "~all" set, which basically negates every policy part that comes before it. Or how large the number of approved senders would be.

Probably endgame plus getting "too big to fail" and getting gov't bailouts if things don't work out. It's part of the lobbying theme that LLMs are the next great power struggle.

In some ways this feels like the first few years of the USSR. Productivity was measured by input usage, not output. So you had factories that made furniture and light fixtures where the items got heavier every year just so they could report that their factories used more steel and wood than last year.

AI is also bad at identifying things that don't exist, but should.

The first time someone fell for a phishing email that was LLM generated we had proof of AI telling convincing lies.

Zero tolerance can lead to a new type of bullying: state sponsored. I remember a younger colleague who talked about her school experience, this was just at the start of zero tolerance because there was a belief that bullying caused school gun violence. Bullies quickly found out it was easy to just report "weird" kids as potential shooters and let the school torment them with investigations.

Maybe less "Brave New World" and more "Dune". This feels like trying to create mentats.

That has been the assumption in most of these cases. The agency must already have a list of people they want, so a short window keeps the risk of someone else jumping to the front of the queue.

The trouble with IPv6 pitch was that there are a lot of additional features beyond "more address space". However, other solutions and workarounds were developed so that those features failed to become a selling point. You could get that with current IPv4 + other protocols.

There is enough deployment now that pushing an alternative will face the installed base. There is a lot of IPv6 deployment out there that isn't always visible and that will stick around for a while even if IPv8 gains traction.

Two possibilities:

1. Fear that a major vulnerability is found in a commonly used software package that puts multiple major banks and e-commerce sites at risk

2. Fear that major vulnerabilities are found in multiple, widely used software packages that lead to market downturn as IT company stocks crash.

Probably others as well. Sounds more like a brief on worst-case scenarios that may happen and how they would effect the US banking sector. This is an important mid-year election this year too, so any big economic shock would be bad for the GOP.

I've used it. It's the mail user agent for those with large inboxes that also have bad memory. The search features are very powerful. Or you can set up rules as complex as you want to tag/sort/move mail.

Like any war, the weapons that appear the most effective are desired by every other country. The are seen as "battle tested" and at least have some track record of working.

Likewise the combatants. When this war is over there will be a cadre of skilled drone operators suddenly free. In some cases, these individuals will turn mercenary and hire themselves out to other militaries around the world.

Not really. There was a huge interest in biomedical research in 2021. Now that interest has been taken over by AI and defense technology.

The Netherlands punches above its weight in cybersecurity expertise. They are likely helping others in Europe including Ukraine. This seems like an obvious response from Russia to try and get inside their operations.

I don't know either. I do wonder if AI is just and excuse since saying "we have to let people go because the economy is bad and our costs are up." spooks investors while "We adopted magic AI and don't need people anymore" sounds like these companies are being proactive so investors don't dump their stocks.

It seems the question has been answered in the headline.

Because there are some things you don't want to put in writing or a recorded web meeting.

Not currently, but I notice that when there is a site breach I get notified about, I get an uptick of new spam/fraud texts/calls shortly after for a few weeks. Could be that it's just your turn for the spam.

The panic is hitting the Mid-Atlantic hard. People who were around for the major snowstorms 10 and 16 years ago (when some people were snowed in for days) are rushing to stock up. Store shelves are looking more like March 2020 COVID days.

I doubt that the .net TLD pulled the registration on purpose. WHOIS claims it was registered yesterday. Unless the TLD had some sort of hickup and reverted back to a version before it was registered. Or something on the registrar end that made it a parked domain instead of live.

Or someone got the registration pulled for some reason. Check your registrar portal.

>Given the lack of mention of any benefits prior to this, it sure sounds like "you'll get lots of exposure!"

Well, they are also "partnering" with some private sector companies. I guess the idea is that candidates will put in their 2 years, then take their contact list and join federal sales arm of one of the private companies.

> We wouldn't want children to learn coding after all, right?

Why aren't we teaching kids vibe coding? I've been told that is the future after all, and junior devs will never be needed ever again. All they need a webpage interface to an LLM to provide data and customer demographics for AI companies.

Found this wording amusing: "...senior manager at a Virginia-based government contractor..."

Reminds me of the meme "You know how little that narrows it down?"

May be too late. First, several states allowed casinos because of increased tax revenue. Now the industry has gotten big and the model seems to be (as I saw from some random guy on X): "Let's grind up people's souls and see if money comes out"

If you can afford to splurge a little. I found that the O'Reilly Online site is pretty good with eBooks and video tutorials on programming in several different languages. Some courses will walk you through the tools you need to install as well.

Old man yells at cloud native...

I agree that CS is still relevant now as long as your end goal isn't just software development. There is much more to computer science that just programming, and even there AI is not in a position to fully take over.

I guess this allows companies to do it remotely instead of just pulling out a set of calipers and measuring their skulls.

Might be negative caching going on at the sender side. If they can't get a response, they set a TTL on the lack of a response - so future queries don't time out but instead immediately return NXDOMAIN. If you immediately tried after restarting your DNS service, it might still be assuming the server is down. Does it still do that after waiting? Like 12-24 hours?

Some people learned that AWS runs most of the Internet services people use with little competition.
