I don't like the Amish, I don't trust the Amish. They smell like horses and sweat. They speak a foreign language. They espouse extremist views.

but now they will via delegation to an automated analyst/systems programmer.

get ready.

the effort required for a complete infiltration has been lowered a great deal.

tosapple··on Private German rocket makes history, reaches orbit from European soil
what kind've voter intimidating sh* is this? down-voted for being honest, promoting understanding and responsibility?

jokes on you guys as i firmly believe bullying racketeering and intimidation are quite literally terrorism when applied to population groups consisting of more than (1) individual.

careful on that slippery slope.

one of those bush votes was to ensure he could clean up his own mess.
tosapple··on LLMs as a Cognitive Virus
yeah, the centralization and concentration of knowledge and ability through reliance in this manner enables the teacher to escrow all your states pencils at any given moment for whatever reason.

once embedded i can see whole classes of industry dos'd.

logistics, dos'd. it, dos'd. military planning, dos'd. medical, dos'd.

pay us this fee so you can update your nvidia drivers.

it's the unholy marriage of the surveillance and petrol states pushing this.

edit: what happened with vmware?

they're the undead, fed by the slough of our skin.

tosapple··on Artificial beaver dams saw juvenile coho salmon survival rates go from 8% to 60%
I understand the regulation of beavers and predators, I was just lightly commenting about nature returning in a picturesque balance. such a picture is just a snapshot of a violent state machine however.

what's wrong with it not reverting to nature when they pass? people put flowers on loved ones graves.
tosapple··on METR and Redwood Offer Holy %^ Postmortem of the HuggingFace Hack
you don't believe that denialism is coordination?

what do you know about big tobacco?

tosapple··on FBI couldn't get into WaPo reporter's iPhone because Lockdown Mode enabled
What you say makes sense, just like the true/veracrypt volume theory. I can't find the head post to my "that's why you image post" but what concerns me is differing profiles may have different network fingerprints. You may need to keep signal and bitlocker on both, EVERYTIME my desktop boots a cloud provider is contacted -- it's not very sanitary?

It"s a hard problem to properly set up even on the user end let alone the developer/engineer side but thank you.

tosapple··on ICE seeks industry input on ad tech location data for investigative use
The way I understand it, which may be dated: is that if it's automated or robotic it doesn't qualify as an "unreasonable search or seizure".

First it's your nationality, then your language. Next maybe you're church or your music.

Data is a liability, it's omnipresent. Permeating.

This is the third person advocating button squeezing, as a reminder: IF a gun is on you the jig is up, you can be shot for resisting or reaching for a potential weapon. Wireless detonators do exist, don't f around please.

Good idea, but this is why you image devices.

The 'extra users" method may not work in the face of a network investigation or typical file forensics.

Where CAs are concerned, not having the phone image 'cracked' still does not make it safe to use.

tosapple··on Court orders restart of all US offshore wind power construction
Exercise like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests...

Right?

Wait until you live through what Argentina or Brasil have then see how you feel about redress, petition and speech.
tosapple··on Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native
While they ditch Microsoft, Amazon and Oracle: we still use Linux, Sel4, ASML and ARM.

There's lots of interesting stuff to watch out for.

tosapple··on ICE tells legal observer, 'We have a database, now you're a domestic terrorist'
Just wait until they switch us to the deutchemark.

Bitcoin doesn't work properly without power or network access extending over days though.

tosapple··on Poland's energy grid was targeted by never-before-seen wiper malware
Again, not endoring any specific case just endorsing SPECIFICITY, COST, and "Collaterals".
tosapple··on Poland's energy grid was targeted by never-before-seen wiper malware
During WW2 both germany and the UK as example were carpet bombed to assail industry, does that help you to understand my position better?

Vietnam too.

tosapple··on Poland's energy grid was targeted by never-before-seen wiper malware
I wasn't commenting on any particular case. I was stating that flipping a switch is less costly to reverse than blowing up a dam.
tosapple··on Poland's energy grid was targeted by never-before-seen wiper malware
What I am starting to appreciate about these digital infrastructure attacks is that they may be reversible and or temporary. It can be a nice feature.
tosapple··on Disaster planning for regular folks (2015)
I think in the US legally they have to have a beacon while flying now, but my thought the other day was about them being parked/down.
tosapple··on Disaster planning for regular folks (2015)
I was thinking the other day that ALL drones SHOULD be considered LIVE explosives. It's probably never a good idea to handle one if you're not trained.
tosapple··on Nanolang: A tiny experimental language designed to be targeted by coding LLMs
An LLM could speak FPGA.

Good luck auditing that.

for the sake of being downvoted: MASM.
tosapple··on Harvard legal scholars debate the state of the U.S. constitution (2025)
How is that all not part of the judicial branch, e.g. the "courts" ?
tosapple··on Harvard legal scholars debate the state of the U.S. constitution (2025)
If it was elitist we wouldn't have the right to assemble or bear arms.

Some of us can do both, at once!

tosapple··on The coming industrialisation of exploit generation with LLMs
Why did you edit out the third paragraph about finding a single exploit on target being slanted against having to secure a whole system?
