As NVIDIA hits it's highest price per share... like clockwork.

Now now, children.

Let's all stop arguing, sit down, and read a story called the Nakba.

What a waste of extremely limited resources at NASA, then.

The administrator just wants to fly it around? Seriously?

What a joke.

New comment by johnnyApplePRNG in "Is sandboxing sufficient to contain rogue agents?"

>Later in the article it points out that you need to punch holes in your sandbox in order to train the models

You only "need" to do that if you desire the vibe coding experience.

I am perfectly capable, and I often do, download relevant materials for my coding agent to ingest locally.

Often times, the coding agent can't retrieve them programmatically anyways.

AI has ruined that ability for itself. (Nobody trusts anyone to scrape the web any longer)

If it's a proper sandbox by definition, then yes.

New comment by johnnyApplePRNG in "Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah"

johnnyApplePRNG — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 23:59:48 +0000

That's not really a response to the point being made.

The claim I was responding to was: "By the time the bulldozers are there civilians have long moved out of the area."

Rachel Corrie's case is a counterexample to that general claim: she was a civilian physically present in the area of an Israeli military bulldozer operation.

Saying that it happened 23 years ago, under a different government, doesn't make the counterexample cease to exist.

It only tells us that the example isn't evidence about every Israeli bulldozer operation today.

If you're arguing that civilians currently leave before demolition operations in Gaza, then make that case.

"That happened under a previous government" doesn't establish that.

There's a reason those were all taught to you in a classroom setting. They're generalities.

The real world works much differently.

If you run a competitive business in Capitalist America, you need to keep up with inflation, taxes, and the status quo as well.

What a terrible name...

I tried searching for "Synthetic AI Subscription" and "Synthetic Data" is such a massive keyword in AI pre-training circles it's impossible to find the company.

What is the companys URL?

New comment by johnnyApplePRNG in "1 in 8 cancer cases worldwide are caused by infections, study finds"

>For many people, sun exposure, smoking and family history are the first thoughts that come to mind regarding cancer risk factors. While infections are rarely high on the list, new research shows one in eight cancers worldwide are actually caused by them.

To be fair... Smoking increases your chance of infection significantly.

Don't count on it.

Prices and costs generally increase as the quantity sold decreases.

If they're buying fewer bottles for example, bottles will cost them more per bottle.

And if they're "losing money on international sales", often times they'll try to recoup that elsewhere. Like jacking up their own prices in justification.

I suggest that you learn more about the Nakba, friend. [1]
