A shocking number of the neocloud teams have exactly one skill set: raising money.

A few of them also have locked in power agreements.

Almost none of them have the expertise to build anything. Some of them are even outsourcing that to geezer tech and consulting shops.

It's not going to go well.

No. xAI is buying Nvidia, not using Tesla chips.

Are you implying that it might be exploited by unethical tech bros looking to build data sets?

Anyone who would voluntarily work for Musk when he went obviously has things going on that aren't great.

The tech companies will just use face recognition, tracing, gait recognition, unique properties (like scratches) etc. etc. for the same purpose, same way they pioneered browser fingerprinting.

Attacks in general are all rare in practice in the grand scheme of the internet. So?

It’s html. Which is code that your browser executes.

Millions of routers are compromised. BGP attacks happen. Anything http stands out as an interesting target for injection.

This position is foolish. It’s not a major ask to enable https.

>I guarantee you're not getting "all kinds of MITM injections" on this block of text

You actually can’t guarantee anything of the sort. BGP hijacks are real.

The film is very much better than the book. The sequel books, however, are not good. At all.

You could attach an H-19 to an H-8 and play advent on H-DOS.

The first computer I ever used. I was so young I didn't know how to spell "bird."

Hard sectored drives!

A lot of people suspected that most programs were absurdly redundant and for a very long time. The real issue is that the languages do not really allow for producing code that can be easily shared. Some of the functional languages do, but mostly in ways that are completely irrelevant and useless in practice for such a goal.

Programmers writing their fiftieth mostly identical CRUD handler may not have noticed but a lot of other people did.
