They say its mythos like, without actually comparing it to Mythos (fair enough, it's not public) but the bar for a model to be mythos-like has to be that you can produce as many novel and high severity security vulns outlined in the Mythos redteam blog. I haven't seen any other lab produce a report like that yet. The proof is in the pudding.

I don't mean to come across as a snob, or anything like that, but I find this PR really odd.

It's the authors first time contributing to this repo and it the feedback on the PR that was addressed is really odd, like some of it is super basic stuff, even if you're not familiar with the code base or the language.

Just an all round weird vibe.

Do you think speed cameras don't make people speed less, and hence roads safer? I don't really understand your point here about a private operator wanting to maximise profit here.

Putting cameras in places where people are likely to speed so you can get more money would be directly correlated with being most impactful at reducing speeding. Another free market win in my mind.

sshd in arch isn't built with the systemd patch, and thus experienced no slowdown. You can read about this on the arch linux blog: https://archlinux.org/news/the-xz-package-has-been-backdoore...

I believe that is just to disable the inclusion of the payload, the given env variable will disable the payload when it is live.

How? WebRTC came out in 2011 and wasn't even widely supported in web browsers until years later. Omegle came out in 2009, and launched video in 2010.

Sounds like it could backfire though, as it would also make it hard to find the truth.

> How do you scribble "family of three: mom, father, daughter" without any emojis?

How often do people need to do that; with that level of fidelity, right down to the composition of the family? My suspicion is not often. A short sentence does this description just as good and is much less ambiguous, as in written, concise communication that is "emoji-rich" is filled with so many details (such as the composition of the family and their skintone) it's often not clear which details are important for the message and which are not. In addition because emojis are rendered differently on different devices the meaning may be lost (e.g. when apple changed the gun emoji to a watergun, many messages took on different meanings depending on if a revolver was used or a watergun)

This doesn't sound like a good idea if your goal is to prevent these two companies (or divisions of the company) for co-conspiring.

New comment by JellyYelly in "Get The TLDR Of Any YouTube Video"

JellyYelly — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 00:00:19 +0000

Quite regularly I see sponsored content that is targeted at people living in the US. If the product is even available in my country there's a huge shipping cost and exchange rate that makes it not worth purchasing even with a discount code. I try not to spend too much time watching YouTube every day so skipping sponsors for products I cannot buy is a good way to save time.

New comment by JellyYelly in "Australia is quitting coal in record time thanks to Tesla"

JellyYelly — Mon, 10 Apr 2023 09:20:45 +0000

I think the original comment is misleading. As far as I can tell you need your employer to buy the EV for you; and then they don't have to pay Fringe Benefits Tax on it. This might benefit people who get a "company car" but I don't know of anyone who has gotten a fringe benefit as large as a car from their employer before. I don't doubt it happens but I doubt it helps anyone except employees and employers who could comfortably afford the tax to begin with. I'm not a tax expert so I could be completely misunderstanding this though.

Same here, except I think I might be older than you because it was still called "Beryl" back then for me. It's amazing how much impact a video showing windows wobbling around on Ubuntu had on me. I also installed Ubuntu, I remember doing it through wubi.

Our excess deaths were extremely low while the rest of the west were letting it rip in 2020~2021. Most people I know in Australia have only recently gotten covid for the first time.

I thought that you had to verify your email work address for blind; so doesn't this mean not "anyone" can post false rumours, only meta staff?

Surely if you think the author isn't well versed enough in the industry you can explain why from the content they've written, rather than nitpicking on the capitalisation of a word. This just seems overly dismissive.

> does this explosion impact the broader crypto marker particularly?

Yes, if a lot of btc is bought in this stable coin, and the stable coin is printed, to buy btc in order to pump up the btc price then if that stable coin loses its peg, it cannot be used to pump btc anymore. When Tether finally dies it'll take down btc and the whole industry with it

Did they ever slow down? In Sydney apartment prices in the CBD and surrounding suburbs went up over covid, despite the lockdowns.

You don't get these tradeoffs for free though. Anyone can make a "crypto currency" that is entirely centralised and has no fees and minimal environmental impact. Nobody would use it. I think much of the desire of crypto comes from being decentralised, and I am yet to see a crypto that doesn't use PoW that doesn't just favor those who are already rich.

>One of Trump's favorite tactics is to appropriate negative phrases like "fake news" to dilute its bite When has he done that and it hasn't been fake news?

Do you think that fake news is just right wing news that is false or can false left wing news also be fake news? Hypocrites.
