Sloperating?
Wait. The US has 300 Million people. If 30% die from the combination of deadly virus and insane politics, 210 million are left. Right?


Not true. Standard Debian install on Thinkpad takes 15 Minutes. I don’t need more words.


As a pro, there would be hardly any invasive species. But, imagine all the Australian venemous things in your backyard!


Wait, I can see where the idea of a flat earth in an endless ocean comes from ;->


Hiring an elite security researcher isn’t easy, or cheap"
You still need to hire one:


EVs already are much safer than ICEs
That’s new to me. Why exactly?


That’s misinformation,. Rob Pike, Co-Author of the first Unix, described in The Practice Of Programming, a book published in 1999, how they were fuzzing these tools.


I am using Unix/Linux for over thirty years now, and the older I get, the more I like it simple.
Debian with Arch in a VM, and Guix as extra package manager on top of both for programming projects. I use Debian for stable stuff and Arch for new stuff.
Stumpwm as manual tiling window manager, or i3wm, or Sway if the first is not available. Somtimes GNOME.
Emacs with language server (lsp-mode) for programming. Vim frequently at work for embedded tasks.
Gollum wiki or Zim wiki for knowledge management.


I am thinking since a while that AI tools, as useless as they are generally, could for once become helpful in checking freshly developed code. Even if the actual code is smart, most bugs are in reality pretty dumb.


By the way, in the medium term, generalizing this development from the kernel to general distro packages, this could be a good argument to prefer using a rolling-release distro like Arch, SuSE Tumbleweed, or Guix over “stable” Distros like Debian or Ubuntu.
Debian has real advantages (it has one of the fastest response times to security vulnerabilities), but rolling release distros do have the advantage not only that they in theory can update fast, but that the dependent packages only need to be compatible with the latest version to ensure stability.


You could think that this development puts open source projects at a disadvantage.
But this does not seem to be the case: AI tools can also be used to automatically disassemble and even decompile closed-source code machine code, leaving it open to the same kind of analysis.


And trolley buses, which are cheaper to install and more flexible for lower volumes of passengers. They don’t need a battery either, alternatively can use a very small one, and this saves a lot of weight.


Yes, the blog and its sources explain in depth that this is not caused by individual faulty engineering decisions but by the security culture of the organization and the culture and incentives driving it.
For example, the decision to not test the heat shield in full tests under real conditions, and to not make full physics models of the processes in it are mayor decisions. And the decision to make a crewed flight without these tells a lot about values and priorities.


LOL. You made my day!


The thing is EV owners have more money left for food.
Or, in my case, cyclists - a am mid-fifty now, and never hada car. When I feel the need to smile, I sum up the money I have saved this way.


The terms on the right to use user data in section 4.1 are also a bit surprising. I’d expect that from a social network like Facebook, but not from a text editor.
I like that one!
