I wonder how many trillions of lost dollars and lives being lost it will take before critical software like this is held to a higher standard. Between airliners crashing and financial and public infrastructure being taken down by security flaws and easily found bugs even though it’s just as important as the development team that writes the code, QA and a software dev process is still treated as unimportant and something you do only if you have the time to do it.
I really like this video, in it he demonstrates how a char pointer can be exploited to alter the return value in the stack and walks through an example of how it’s done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S0aBV-Waeo
Interesting how ARPA net (the internet) was build to with stand these issues, but companies like Microsoft and Amazon (and no regulation) have completely reversed it’s original intent. I actually didn’t even notice this since I use Lemmy, and have my own internal network running home assistant, synology, emby, ect…
Wow, reminds me of the mutants made out of multiple people in the video game the last of us.
Uh…trains anyone?
Michaels uttered perhaps the most famous six words in the history of sports broadcasting at the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics after the U.S. hockey team triumphed over the Soviet Union in a stunning upset: “Do you believe in miracles? Yes!”
It’s tragic that the humanity of these types of things that are understood by humans will be lost in AI.
For MIT/Apache it doesn’t matter. That’s always a problem with those free to use licenses you have a “good idea” who’s using it, but you never really can tell. It also creates a shit load of wasted improvements every time a company uses it, moth balls the project, but never pushes code upstream because why do that? \s So you sit back and hope that someone in the company feels a big enough moral drive or obligation to contribute their improvements up stream. But, how can you tell definitively? You can sometimes see it in the job descriptions they are hiring for, also I have had companies reach out out me personally for help. Many open source projects also will reach out and ask, and if they get the ok, will put it in the project description in order to encourage others companies to do the same. So why to companies bother? The funny thing about open source is that it lets people who like solving tough problems (the best type of engineers) know where the tough problems are being definitively solved, because here’s the code, and here’s the author from xyz company contributing and showing the rest of the world how it’s done. Often this will bring in engineers who are at the top of their game to these companies.
People will find a way to get around it, I could see buffering a video for 5 mins or even downloading the entire video ala locally playing podcasts, then using AI or some type of frame analyzation technique t to skip ads. Or just skip them like good old fashion Tivo from your player.
I call bs, a motorcycle provides way less protection. And which states are they illegal in? Lobbying and another money grab from corporations in our “free market” society. I would love one of these BTW.
Ya, i have done that before if I have the option, lol. But if i’ve gone through the drive through, a lot of the time I don’t. I actually make all my coffee at home now, so I don’t really have to deal with this anymore.
I don’t wear it myself, but I think a lot of people apply it by putting it on their hands then “dabbing” it on their neck, face…ect… Then they touch the cups. At first I thought it was just at one shop, then it kept happening at different places. I wonder if has something to do with the cup being warm, maybe it’s more likely to have the scent stick to it or something.
What!!! I thought Elon had it all figured out, No Way!

This is a direct consequence of Google targeting Reddit posts in its search results. Hopefully forum groups like Lemmy don’t go get buried under a mountain of garbage as well. As long as advertisers are able to destroy public forums and communities with ads, with ad based revenue sites like Google directing who to target. We will always be creating something great while constantly trying to keep advertisers from turning it into a pile of crap.
I have switched a dell laptop that windows 10 didn’t support to pop os. (It was 7 years old) My whole family has used it for a few years to do everything without any issues. Ironically I have had problems with the Pop OS install on my newer more powerful machine.
They really should make a easy path to update the 2g modem module to a 5g, but you know… Sales. Next thing you know car manufactures will be sunsetting support for an entire car because they no longer support updates to people with an out of date phone. So lazy and short sighted.
Wow, just… wow. The story doesnt do it justice, the video is insane.
I live in one of the most progressive cities in the US and have had the same issue here. We have no driveway and park on the street but regulations say we cant use the grass strip (the area between the srreet and the curb) to install a charging station for an ev in front of our house. For 5 years we tried to get permission to do this without luck and have given up on ever getting an EV. I dont get how there is any hope for electric vehicles if there arent any working solutions for the millions of people in the United States who dont have a driveway or garage.
Its time to grab a beer kick back and watch as the planet is destroyed by slow moving bearacratic regulation.
Look at all the people that actually came to witness this…🫤
Great post, thanks for sharing
